“I can’t do yoga because I’m not flexible.”

Have you heard that or said that before?

Seriously, tell me what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word yoga.

Is it the poses?
Or yoga pants?
Maybe bendy girls?
How about sweating out your demons?

Here’s what I think.
Yoga is a deep breath before I ask my boss for a raise.
Sitting quietly in the morning.
Listening to the birds.
Watching my mind instead of reacting to it. Appreciating someone else’s success.
A way of managing the pain of the world.
The practice of being a better human.

Yes, there are poses that turn you upside down and inside out but it’s so much more.
It teaches you how to use your breath to energize you better than a cup of coffee.
Or even calm your nervous system when
when you’re plagued with overwhelm.

Yoga heals the whole person.
Not just the bendy ones.

Felt free?
Laughed out loud alone?
Listened to your heart, just your heart?
Ate popcorn with chopsticks?
Sang in the shower?
Stayed up until 2am finishing a book without feeling guilty?

So many constraints. So many rules. So many things we allow to usurp our own power for the sake of … propriety or appearances.

What’s the worst that could happen?
Seriously…
Exchanging a few extra calories and a little less sleep for an honest deep breath and a soul that’s satisfied.

Choose would you choose?

I am so excited to be part of Living Whole Online

I worked with Dr Kathryn Hayward in Boston when she created her Odyssey program for people looking to make big life and health changes in a collaborative setting.

She brought together the best of the best in therapeutics, mental health, mind body interventions and plant based nutrition to name a few! It was remarkable to bear witness to the success so many enjoyed through her program.

Now she and her husband have brought together a coalition of experts to offer holistic wellness to anyone anywhere!

If you want to learn more about my work give a listen to my introductory podcast with Kathryn! It’s now live on the website!

When you compare yourself to who you were 20 years ago.

Remember the crazy things you did back then for love and health and beauty?

The immature mistakes that weighed you down?
Motorcycle trips in the rain.
Flying across the ocean on a whim.

Think of all the things you’ve lived through.
The mountains you’ve climbed.
The challenges you’ve overcome.

You’re stronger. Wiser. More experienced.
More thoughtful.

So yeah, you’re not who you used to be.
You’re better!

Double tap if you needed to hear this today

There are groceries to buy 🛒
Phone calls to make ☎️
Boxes to check ✅
So many things “to do” on the list that keeps growing.

How’s your “to be” list?
You know, the one the one I’m talking about:
Be slow and steady.
Be kind with an open heart.
Be the change you crave in this upside down world.
So many opportunities on the list we never remember to write down. The one where we slow down and breathe and remember what matters most. The one that’s not about doing at all…

Yoga is not the shapes your body makes.

It’s the way your mind forms around concepts and values like kindness, compassion, empathy, curiosity, and nonjudgment.

Yoga is not defined by the form of your body.
It’s the way you shape your thinking.

The physical practice gets your head out of the way so you can connect to your heart without so much of the mental chatter. The mind will always be abuzzing, but it’s your decision how much you listen to it. How seriously you take it.

Why not just observe it.
See it for what it is, white noise disrupting your channel.

Yoga way of moving through the world 🌎
So yeah, I guess you could say it’s about flexibility.

You have the wisdom you need inside of you.

If you don’t take the time for you, time will take you down one way or another.

Better to plan it so it’s on your terms, yes?

Whose life is it anyway?
