Heartfelt Musings
Step into the space where my thoughts take form and my passions come to life. Here, you’ll find a collection of blogs—stories, reflections, and inspirations—sometimes rooted in yoga, often centered on wellness, and always from the heart.
These blogs are an extension of my nightly journaling practice, a place where I can share the happenings in my mind with anyone who wishes to read. Whether it’s musings on life, recaps of meaningful events, or simply thoughts I couldn’t keep to myself, my hope is that these words inspire, comfort, and connect.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I’m so glad you’re here.
Arriving as you are
Arriving as You Are – A Practice in Self-Acceptance
What if showing up—on the mat, in the gym, in life—had nothing to do with how you look and everything to do with how you feel?
A recent conversation with a student reminded me just how much we can hold ourselves back—not because of what others think, but because of our own inner dialogue. It made me reflect on my own experience of hesitation, self-doubt, and ultimately, the power of trusting ourselves.
Yoga, like life, isn’t about looking the part. It’s about being in it. Fully. Authentically. You.
Trusting the Magic of the Moment
“Trusting the Magic of the Moment”
After 20 years of teaching yoga, I’ve only recently found the confidence to truly let go and trust my intuition. The other day, I threw out my lesson plan and simply followed the energy in the room—and something incredible happened. My students felt it, I felt it, and I was reminded of the magic that unfolds when we surrender to the present moment.
Could the same be true off the mat? Where in life are we clinging to the plan when what’s really needed is trust? Maybe it’s time to fly by the seat of our pants a little more.
