Isolation, Hibernation, Transformation
Just like nature, we all have our own natural rhythms. As a society and culture we have created a structure and expectation of living, that is not in tune to nature or anyone's individual needs. In our progress of technological advancement we have led ourselves into a way of living that is very fragmented. We have separated ourselves… Continue reading Isolation, Hibernation, Transformation
This is me, on Yoga.
Here goes my ego-post of the century. I posted this image of myself on Facebook the other night, and it had a multitude of 'likes' and comments. It was a great ego-boost as my self-esteem has done a serious nose-dive since child bearing... Being a mom has destroyed every last ounce of confidence I once… Continue reading This is me, on Yoga.

No Human Being Is Worthless
"I'm not afraid of dying. Sometimes I'm more afraid of living." I am reading a book called "In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts" by Gabor Maté. The quote above is from one of his clients. It makes my mind race with words: Addiction. Suicide. Depression. Self-harm. We all suffer. Perhaps some just hide it better then others.… Continue reading No Human Being Is Worthless

Much of the work I have done, on myself and others, I would define as 'healing' work. However as I… Continue reading Strive For Wholeness

Long before I started a yoga practice I had studied eastern philosophies and was interested in meditation. Always eager to learn I would sign up for classes and workshops on all sorts of meditations: guided, silent,… Continue reading Yoga And Meditation

My resolution or intention for the year ahead is to hold peace in my heart, in my home, in my work and in my… Continue reading Welcome 2013!
Teach Love
It seems a mini-avalanche of blogs have begun... it started with Becca's "Let's Get Physical", which was responded with La La's "Take It Personally", which led to Meizac's "Piece Of Meat". My heart cries for these women. For all women. But it cries for men too. What kind of society have we created? What kind… Continue reading Teach Love
The Second Step
This is confusing 'step' number two, or the second limb of yoga, which is really another five steps. Our last post on the yamas had the first five moral principles and now the niyamas will be shared, and these are five living principles. Saucha is purity. This is all about taking care of yourself on the… Continue reading The Second Step
