We as humans put on many masks so we can “fit in” with society. What happens when we begin to shed the masks and embrace who we truly are? I came across this Judy Garland quote the other day and I thought I would share it here with you lovely yogis and yoginis. “Always […]

A Poem for Savasana
Just For Now Just for now, without asking how, let yourself sink into stillness. Just for now, lay down the weight you so patiently bear upon your shoulders.

Your task is not to seek for love… Rumi
I know this is where my work lies. It's been a long and sloppy process of breaking down barriers for me and it's been a tremendous growing experience. Yoga saved my life. Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built. […]

“Sometimes we like our thoughts…” ~ Pema Chodron
Another wonderful quote from Pema Chodron. This quote reminds me of the undoing of knots, the undoing of our granthis, the undoing of our samskaras, and the undoing of that which holds us back. “Sometimes we find that we like our thoughts so much that we don’t want to let them go.” Pema Chodron

“The more you know” ~ Aristotle
Both a blessing and a source of frustration at the same time. This truth sometimes feels like it's thrown in my face again and again. I will always be a student. There is always more to learn. This world has so much to offer. “The more you know, the more you know you don't […]
