A Season for Reflection

In this season of giving, with its invitation to enjoy times of peace and joy, I am grateful to share this movement, mindfulness, and growth journey with each of you. The quiet moments of winter invite us inward to pause and reflect on our path, however that is unfolding for you.

The Practice of Self-Compassion

The holidays can invite us to treat ourselves with more kindness. In yoga and everyday life, we can notice what needs attention without making every difficulty a personal failing. That gives us room to learn, make adjustments, and begin again.

Welcoming Imperfection

I find this practice of true self-acceptance the most challenging pose. Working with our more difficult edges, we must create our own “Judgment Free Zone” on and off the yoga mat. Let us welcome the stumbles and setbacks that come with any meaningful growth. Here, we find the joy of coming home to ourselves.

With gratitude for our fellowship these many years, I wish you the gift of self-kindness this season.

Namaste.
