Utkatasana (Chair) with a Twist

Utkatasana (oot-kah-tah-sah-nah) also known as “fierce” pose offers a great balance of building strength through the opposites of grounding and lifting all at the same time. As your lower body gets low to the earth, your upper body reaches for the sky.

Stay Close to Positive People

My best friends are some of the most positive, happy people I know and I spend as much time around them as possible. It’s contagious to tap into the energy of someone who feels connected and is strong enough to be who they are and live the life that has been given to them. Obviously, it takes work to have the life you want; but at some level you have to trust that everything is happening for you, not to you. There is a bigger plan out there and sometimes we need reminders. We can all amp each other up along the way, yes?!

Who Are You to the Core?

In the center of who we are is our core. When I talk about a “strong core” most people think in terms of how many crunches they need to do to get a six pack. This can be nice, but in yoga when we explore our subtle body, our core refers to our Solar Plexus. This is our place of power, confidence and true strength.

Wake Up! & Be Present

Being present needs to be practiced daily, hourly, minute by minute. And so, with all great things, we need reminders (like our morning alarms), but throughout the day. In zen tradition, the invitation to awaken is a soft bell every hour to remind you of the fact that you are alive, to be grateful and find this moment and all that it is bringing you.

Ride the Waves

Pura Vida, translated as “pure life”, is how the Costa Ricans roll. Their vibrant skin, smiles and food all lend themselves to this way of life. They live and breathe for the land that so beautifully surrounds them. The animals embrace the wealth of the jungle and the people seem to just choose a lifestyle that supports simplicity, beauty, and connection to the land and others.

Own Your Power, Learn to Fly

We all have a super power, something we came with, something that brings us closer, keeps us connected and aligned. Once you find what this is, it is yours to use just as those characters in stories get gifted by a magician or a magical sword and all the sudden something inside lights up and they become their bravest selves. How cool is that to know that you can have that too? Now, let’s find your super power and use it for the greater good …

The Good Life

When we do what we love and do it with passion, sharing every aspect of who we are in the process, we open doors where there were once walls and we step into an abundant life. All you have to do is say yes. Be brave in your pursuit as you move in the direction that is calling. Any choice you make will get you to a place you can learn from. So pick one and get moving and then be ready to receive the gifts that are sure to come.

Turtle Love

Days after witnessing the turtles’ journey to the sea in Costa Rica, the discussion in Joan Halifax’s classes centered around soft front, hard back and resilience being “a context for an exhale.” As with a turtle (soft front, hard back), how can we show up and go to our edge at the same time?

What Can You Do Every Day?

The longer I walk (sometimes crawl), dance, laugh, cry at times, along this path, the more I realize it is not about attaining some kind of perfection. As you try harder, for something you are dreaming up, more and more desires start to unfold and become the focus. What if instead we just keep showing up, do our best, even enjoy the dance of it all along the way and then peacefully thank all that gave us breath and ability to be and rest in our beds each night.
