I didn't even know getting Covid twice in six weeks was possible. But, it has happened. Which explains my absence. I have been either sick or recovering since Christmas!  But, with the impossible comes realizations! ‌

Whew! I really had to move into 2022 slowly and mindfully, making sure to take go...

In a world that has been ruled by fear for the last two years of a global pandemic, we are being called to lift ourselves out of the weight of the media and government and into a space of wisdom, love and peace. Yeah, that might sound impossible. But through the awareness of the vijñanamaya kośa it ...

As we move into year three of a global pandemic it is the time to nourish our roots so we may rise again, stable, kind, connected, better than we started. We all have a vast reservoir of energy, wisdom and joy within.  It is there, lying dormant until it is just the right time to emerge.  When we ta...

Today, I want to provide clarity around how I believe YTT’s are not giving a complete look at this book.  They are g...

The Yoga Sutras in my opinion is a book filled with timeless wisdom that is offered in a sort of mystical way, and I love it! At first they can be hard to understand. The first time I read them I felt like I couldn’t relate or apply any of it to my life -- it was hard to grasp the concepts to say th...

Ultimate Śakti Mantra

Mantra has been a vital part of my spiritual journey since I really started diving into the practice of yoga. The power mantra possess to calm and focus the mind as well as being a partner in manifesting your world is stunning. Śakti (generally written as shakti) mantras in pa...

In preparation for this blog post, I chanted Oṁ 2,000 times with my breath on a recent hike. I wanted to connect to the essence that is always there even more deeply.  Today let’s look at the four parts of Om and how they relate to our lives and our spiritual practices.
