Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By / , , ,

Grief is not just emotional; it holds physical presence and is stored in our cellular memory. Grief can be personal like losing my dog, and global from the earthquake. Whatever the circumstance, grief presents an invitation into Spirit, where it can serve as the leaving or the coming back. The great blessing of the time I put into my practice in a space of joy is that contemplation is …

The Value of a Sweet and Spicy Core

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By / , , , ,

I started to think about my offhanded video title “Sweet and Spicy Core” and what a confusing, nonsensical image that might be. Speaking linguistically, we throw the word “core” around to take on a broad range of meanings. The definition of “core” includes absolute, deep rooted, or in a complete or extreme way. Most often, the word core is added to make a statement stronger. In my definition, I …

No More Squatty Potty, Bring On Malasana Pose

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By / , ,

I secretly call Malasana the pose that shouldn’t really be a pose at all, as it is rather a forgotten instinctual position in our body; a bit like tonsils which we now take out as if they have no purpose. Invoke Your Inner Child I remember when my kids were little, watching them play for hours in “malasana pose”. Whether it was squatting next to the noisy traffic of …

Avoid Being Or Having A Pain In the Neck

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By / , , , ,

As I was thinking about putting together a Somatic Yoga practice to balance and relieve the neck muscles, I overheard someone use the term “a pain in the neck” to describe someone else. How odd it is that we choose the anatomy of the neck to describe someone who is irritating; particularly a neck that is in pain. Why not the knee or ear?! Why do we pick on …
