It would appear that some things in the yoga world are [slowly] beginning to return! One of my ALL TIME favorite festivals, Love.Shine.Play Festival in Asheville, NC is tentatively scheduled for July 22-25th, 2021! And while I have no idea what I'm going to teach after more than a year away from the yoga classroom, I know for sure that I'll be there with a grin from ear to ear.

Set in the heart of the ancient and mystical Appalachian Mountains, Asheville Yoga Festival is a space for connection, adventure, play, relaxation & healing.

I don’t have the words for yesterday. I have thought and tried, but I just can’t come close to expressing how lucky and how grateful I feel to have married my best friend; the most brilliant, hilarious, compassionate, strong, and kind man that I know. We exchanged vows deep in the quiet forest of our little mountain property, surrounded by loved ones. It was small and easy, simple and joyous. Dogs scurried underfoot, the bonfires kept us all warm, and the leaves fell as we embraced. Today, I am a husband. And tomorrow, I will be better because of it, better because of him.

A mere six years ago, when we first met, this wasn’t an option. This wasn’t legal. But enough Americans decried the treatment of their neighbors and today, our love matters and counts. Our love is legitimate in the eye of the law.

Your voice matters. Your vote matters. So many things beyond your own sphere hinge on the progress of our society to see one another as human beings and to respect each other’s rights. Love continues to show us how to fight for those rights.

Heart broken for the immense loss. Scared for what this means for our future. Anxious about how the landscape of our country is changing. You were a voice of reason and justice. You unabashedly stood on the right side of history every single time. Your legacy will live on. I hope your untimely passing spurs a deep awakening and motivates people to take action and go vote. We have only come this far because of people like you. We need more people like you. Rest In Peace. Rest In Power.

I’m not a sentimental person by anyone’s standards. Those who know me also know that I tend to throw everything out, keep a very tidy house, and don’t get attached to or keep “things”. If I’m being honest, it all stems from a rough childhood— let’s just say that there are some deep psychological hoarding tendencies that run in my family. So I’ve always been a minimalist. If an item doesn’t serve a purpose, I get rid of it. I guess it’s my way of exerting control over chaos. Today, Martin was swapping his Winter and Summer clothes and brought up a bin from the basement. Inside were lots of his treasures— old fraternity t-shirts, diplomas, pictures, trinkets, etc. At the very bottom of the bin was just one of mine. A folded uniform shirt, still ringed with dirt and sweat around the collar. In the pockets were faded EKG strips, a couple of syringes, some long-since dried up alcohol prep pads and a pair of tattered gloves. The top was adorned with my badges of service— these are the only things I have ever kept from my past. These little doohickeys have seen more sorrow, sweat, long sighs, blood, held-back tears, late night delirious laughter with my partners and crews, tragedies, deaths, even a few births, unimaginable heaps of teamwork, total long shots and true miracles than I’ll ever be able to recall. I decided to wash the uniform, try it on (still fits!) and hang it in the far corner of my closet— a reminder of why I went into this field in the first place, all those years ago: when things are dark and scary and heavy and full of gloom, the only real treasure we have is each other and with that comes the responsibility to reach out, to help those in need, and to do our own parts to the absolute best of our abilities. Those long nights on the ambulance put me through some of the most challenging experiences of my life, but I would never trade the memories or the relationships and I would do it all again in a heart beat. @ Atlanta, Georgia

I spent the day cooped up inside yesterday, but it allowed me to fully clean the house, reset my mind, and get grounded. Here's a new yoga class with me on Yoga on Gaia to help you welcome Spring with a Fresh Attitude (something we could all use right about now!) You can do your part to stay inside and take this class for free.
