Helping people find consistency and sustainability on and off the mat. Yoga/Brewthwork/Meditation

03/26/2026

My poor students didn’t realize they were going to be in my posts all the time. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

But let’s face it, life lessons happen on the mat. And sometimes we are tuned in to receive them, and sometimes we aren’t.

The lesson today?

You can use your practice to nourish and support yourself.

But how many of us actually do this, and how often?

A lot of people who practice Ashtanga lean towards being high achievers and are known to push themselves hard.

And while they may be great at practicing kindness and compassion towards others, they aren’t always as good at practicing it towards themselves.

A dedicated practice is a balance of many things. It does require hard work and showing up, but if it’s not balanced with kindness and compassion, it’s incomplete.

If we’re going to show up for ourselves consistently and sustainably, we have to actually enjoy what we’re doing. And we can’t enjoy it if we’re not being kind to ourselves along the way.

I’m happy to report that my students are getting better and better at this. And watching that unfold has been the best gift.

Is this something you’re working on? If so, I’d love to hear where you are in it. Drop it in the comments.

I’ve learned a lot of lessons from my dad over the years.

But the most recent one, stemming from him being incredibly sick, was one of the most profound.

It’s being comfortable with discomfort, both physically and mentally.

Now, I’m not talking about pain. There is a difference between the two, and it’s worth being discerning about that distinction. Discomfort is the edge where growth lives. Pain is a signal to stop.

Most of us are not good with discomfort. We move away from it as quickly as we can.

But when you can lean into it, you’ll be amazed at the transformation available on the other side.

My dad went from almost not making it, to being in a wheelchair, to using a walker, to now using a cane.

He wasn’t lucky. He was determined — and he made close friends with discomfort. His transformation has been nothing short of a miracle.

At 87 years old.

So if you’re looking to make change in your life, take a look at where things get uncomfortable and how you react to that. Learn to lean into it.

My dad didn’t have a choice about the discomfort. But he had a choice about what he did with it.

So do you.

One of the things my clients and yoga students ask me about most is how to stay consistent.

I had this exact conversation recently with a student who came back to yoga after a few months away.

She told me she’d been doing all the things: showing up to yoga class, juicing, walking, and meal prepping. And then one day, she was tired, wasn’t feeling it, and the whole thing unraveled.

In my honest opinion, there are a few things going on here.

First, she was doing a lot. 😂 We all have a finite amount of energy each day, and it sounds like she was running with all cylinders firing.

There’s nothing wrong with riding a wave of inspiration, but it’s not always sustainable. That’s how burnout happens.

Second, seasonality is real. She fell off in the winter. The days are shorter, it’s cold, and we naturally have less energy. These are just facts of life.

And third, she had an all-or-nothing attitude. When one thing dropped, everything dropped. If it couldn’t be all of it, it felt like, why bother at all?.

Here’s what I know: figuring out what you can do on any given day is what actually keeps you consistent.

Life changes. Our job is to change with it and keep showing up for ourselves in whatever way we can.

Struggling to find consistency with your habits?

The problem might not be the habit itself, but what comes before it.

Someone recently told me they wanted to make my 6am class a regular thing. But they weren’t getting to bed until after midnight.

That’s not a willpower problem. That’s a setup problem.

For them, the real work isn’t showing up at 6am, it’s moving their bedtime back 15-30 minutes at a time until the morning becomes possible.

Same principle applies to whatever you’re working on. Want to eat healthier? Try meal prepping the day before.

The actions before the habit is where consistency is actually built.

If you’re not sure what yours is, that’s exactly what I help my clients figure out. Send me a message and let’s take a look together.

“May you stay open to the wisdom that surrounds you everyday.”

My meditation teacher ended with this today and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. 🤯

I’ve got a little story for you today, bear with me.

My dog has a newfound interest in sleeping under the covers.

It freaks me out. I feel like she’s suffocating under there. 😂

That, and she turns into an oven and the heat is too much to bear. I wake up sweating.

I pull her above the covers, so she can breathe fresh air. But as soon as I bring her up, she dives right back down.

She loves being under the covers.

Why, exactly, am I telling you this story?

Because this applies to our yoga practice and to any habit we’re trying to create.

What works for me and is right for me may not necessarily work or be right for you.

You know yourself better than anyone else — even if you don’t believe that yet.

So copying someone else’s habits and expecting the same result? That’s not setting yourself up for success.

Borrow ideas from other people who are successful but then adapt them to make them work for you.

That’s the recipe for habits that actually stick.

And if you’re thinking you don’t know how to adapt them to make them work for you, that’s where I can help.

Coaching works wonders when you have all the information but you’re not sure how to apply it.

If this sounds like something you need, hit me up — I’d love to chat. 💙

One of my students was having trouble remembering her next posture.

She sat there for a bit, and when it was clear it wasn’t coming to her, I walked over to give some assistance.

After I told her which posture was next, she asked me what the next three postures were.

I asked her to stay present with her current posture and see what came of that — because often, when people are present with what they’re doing, they remember what comes next.

We don’t just do this in our yoga practice. We do this in our lives.

We want to know what’s next or what’s coming instead of relishing the present moment.

And when we do this, we miss all the juicy parts of what’s happening right in front of us.

Instead of living in the future and what’s going to happen next, try to find yourself in this moment.

It takes work and is a practice in and of itself, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the results.

This is the work I do with my clients — not just on the mat, but in their lives.

Where do you find it hardest to stay present? 👇

The lessons we learn on our mat mirror the lessons we learn in our lives.

This morning, one of my students got lost in thought during practice.

She was replaying an interaction she’d had with her husband… and suddenly she couldn’t remember what posture she’d just done or what came next.

We had a good laugh about it.

But after practice, we talked about how life mirrors what come up on the mat.

How often do we move through our days distracted… lost in conversations, worries, or stories playing in our minds?

And before we know it, we’re not really here anymore.

Practices like yoga, pranayama, and meditation give us something powerful.

A way out of the noise.�
A way back to the present moment.

Because this moment, the one right in front of you, is the only place your life is actually happening.

And it’s a gift not to miss it.
