I have placed curly brackets around quoted pieces that I did not end up speaking to in my […]

Shattered

“Allow beauty to shatter your regularly. The loveliest people are the ones who have been burnt and broken and torn at the seams, yet still send their Open Hearts into the world to mend with love again, and again, and again. You must allow yourself to feel your life while you are in it.”-Victoria Erickson […]

Purity/Saucha

In a world and time full of uncertainty, I hope for you to become curious if the yogic practice of saucha could be able to offer you a sense of stability, grounding, clarity, or even just the ability to more steadily navigate the uncertainty. Saucha translates as purity and cleanliness. It is one of the […]

Resilience

The term resilience had been coming up a lot in my circles in the past couple of months. I had a desire to take a deeper look into what it means to be resilient, to what it means to have resiliency, and who is resilient? I’m going to answer that last question first… WE ARE […]

It was a wonderful journey! And it led to some beautiful realizations. I started each class with these words that originally came […]

Fox describes his approach to living with Parkinson’s disease in this way, “If I let it affect everything, it’s going […]

Grief, Sorrow, and Earth Day with Heart…

Rumi writes:“My heart is so small it’s almost invisible. How can you place such big sorrows in it? “Look,” he answered, “your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.” Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes […]
