yoga

“Set an intention for your practice.” So often we hear this phrase with little to no explanation or instruction. What does it mean? Am I supposed to create a goal for myself, like a mini New Year’s Resolution that I need to accomplish by the end of class?

Listen to the people who believe in you. Surround yourself with these people. Even when you second-guess yourself, they are never disappointed. It’s a beautiful thing to trust in them and begin to see yourself through their loving eyes.

How often do you just sit still and pay attention to your own breath? In this modern world, we are constantly moving. We work so hard and such long hours that taking a few moments to ourselves can feel selfish.

A tree uses its deep roots to soak up water and nutrients from the soil. The tree shoots those nutrients all the way up and out through each branch to every single leaf.

Welcome to my page, and Thank You so much for visiting! I’m so happy and grateful for your love and support! Since I have your attention right now, take a moment to breathe and let go of anything that’s not serving you in this moment!
