It took its sweet time getting here, but we are now truly into fall. For many, autumn is the beginning of a season of introspection and possibly slowing down. The crisp air is invigorating, so maybe instead of slowing down, I am inspired to get more done, just in a more mindful way.

Making Space

In that spirit, I am creating a new Yoga Basics course for the upcoming year. My first course took months to develop and record over three years ago. I've guided more than 900 hours of live classes since then, which has helped me lead my classes in directions I would not have thought of three years ago. I am especially connected with the benefits beyond the physical, or, more specifically, why the physical poses benefit our minds and spirits so much. I aim to create a program that is accessible and beneficial to those looking to feel more at peace while connecting to their inherent power within.

I'll be closing access to my first course at the end of this year. However, if you purchase access now, you can enter the entire course for the next year. I'm offering a 50% discount with the code CLASS.

Get out and Vote

There's so much that we cannot control. We have both the privilege and the duty to vote each time an election comes around. Bring your awareness to what is important to you. Understand your own motivations for feeling that way. Sit in quiet reflection with those thoughts. Notice how your thoughts FEEL in your body as you make your decisions. This, and your time entering your choices, is YOURS. Yes, you can "do your research" all day, but sitting in silence allows the powerful truth in your heart to arise. Listen and vote the way love makes you feel, and allow LOVE to win.
