What does ritual mean to you? Is it something you turn to annually, seasonally, daily? Does it include some form of movement, meditation, action; or sacred objects like oracle cards, candles, incense, crystals?

2021 | Chakras, Yoga, Meditation
It has been a LONG time since I've mentioned the chakras, philosophy, or meditation in any of my blogs or even in my classes.

I re-discovered the old yoga teacher training notes, from my personal training and from the teacher training I designed and guided. I found my old portfolio with the Child and Youth Worker diploma, and my reiki and… Continue reading Over 20 Years of Yoga
This Glorious Day
First of all: No one expects you to be perfect. Especially not me! We are all human, and it is time to give ourselves some credit for every day we make it through. Maybe even add a dash of gratitude for it all (or if you can't be grateful for it all, find one little… Continue reading This Glorious Day
