A beautiful article a fellow yogi wrote and was published in Elephant Journal. Check it out!

This was a particularly busy day for me—the kind when my passion for yoga crosses a line and starts to feel like work.

YEs! So much of all the YES!
Taking time to heal, grow, reflect, to just be .... to unwind and decompress ....REST .... the magikal act of restoration and rejuvenation :)

Choosing rest is choosing to take a radical stand for the feminine.

Turn inward ... finding the peaceful and sacred within :)

When my world has crashed and I can’t breathe, I tune in. I feel the pain fully. The disappointment runs through my veins. The sadness suffocates my cells. I create the sacred space here. My heart beating, my internal altar. A flame that never dies out, where I come to surrender, to dissolve. Can I…

Sometimes we don't always know what we need. Or we confuse the signals our body is sending us. After a night of very little sleep and a long day, my body and mind were exhausted. But I opted for a 90 minute vinyasa anyways... because everybody's tired after work, right? But after the first 5-10 minutes you're always glad you went ... unfortunately last night this was not the case and the exertion started to leave me drained and light headed. I eased up on the practice, almost left mid class actually! And was determined to find a lesson in the experience. And the lesson is sometimes you mis-read the signs your body is giving you, confusing what it is you really need. And that's it. And it's okay. A little extra sleep last night and some TLC, and today, back on track :)
