"In the United States, mainstream yoga has been taken over by the dominant White, able-bodied, cis-gendered culture—appropriated, capitalized, and reduced to a physical self-care practice and wellness lifestyle choice. In the West, the neo-colonization of yoga, personal and systemic racism, and Hindu-phobia have erased the traditional roots of the practice, ignored the people and teachers whose region it came from, and caused more separation than unity. International Yoga Day, a so-called celebration of yoga, is often used to gaslight the very real issues of discrimination and prejudice faced by South Asian and other BIPOC yoga practitioners in predominantly white yoga spaces.
So, the question many may have now is, how are we to honor and celebrate yoga? The answer lies in yoga itself. We celebrate yoga every day by practicing all the eight limbs with dedication. We honor the roots of the practice, and the land, and the teachers who gifted it to us. We can uplift and amplify diverse teachers, experts, and authors. We can offer spaces that are truly inclusive of difference. We can be accountable for the harm caused by racism, and speak out when we see oppression. We can recognize our shared humanity and the potential of the practice to transform our individual and collective suffering. We can embody compassion and courage in service not just to some of us, but to all of us. That is how an international day of yoga should be lived." ~

A devoted yogi contemplates the meaning of the co-opted celebration.

Do you ever feel like there's just a lot of *stuff* in your space?? Like maybe you feel restless or overwhelmed or out of sorts or fidgety or just plain full of icky sticky stale old energy *stuff* that seriously needs some refreshing?? Yeah, me too 😉
Thankfully, whenever I *do* catch myself feeling this way, my practice helps remind me that *I* am the curator of my space... And it's up to *me* to decide what *stuff* I'm going to allow in my space and what *stuff* I'm going to let go of, so that my personal space can once again feel spacious, light, and free.
This is one of my go-to guided visualization style that *always* leaves me - and my space - feeling renewed, restored, and re-filled with clarity, intention, and ease.
If you're feeling a little stuck in *your* own space tonight, I welcome you to join me in this simple geared towards cultivating some bright new energy - in your space, body, mind, and spirit ❤️🙏🏻✨

Have you ever paused to consider just how absolutely miraculous your is?!
Seriously though. Breathing (thankfully) happens autonomously, without you having to pay it a single thought. It fuels you, nourishes you, cleanses you, and contributes to literally every single process in your body and mind. It's pretty amazing!
Not only that, but did you know that because of your breath, you have a superpower? That's right! You do!
Because of your breath, you have the ability to interact & engage directly with your nervous system- that otherwise automatic part of you that is responsible for keeping your body & mind in a fine-tuned, balanced, healthy state of being.
Your breath is literally a direct access channel into your overall health & well-being - mind, body, & soul.
How you breathe - fast, slow, short, shallow, long, deep, full - brings you either closer to optimal functioning, healthfulness, & well-being, or it takes you further from it. And because breathing is an automatic process that you otherwise don't have to think about, well... It's easy to fall into the trap of not thinking about it! But this is a huge mistake! Why ignore this incredible superpower you've been gifted?!
So tonight, I invite you to pause. Take even just a brief moment. Be in your body and feel into your breath. Give it your full, undivided attention. And let it remind you of this magical, incredible power you carry. This power that's with you - an integral part of you - every moment of every day, everywhere you are.
Be with your breath. Breathe. Feel. Balance. And heal. It's here for you, waiting for you. Why not need the call?

What the world needs now is:
Love.
Compassion.
Kindness.
So much more kindness.
But it's not going to happen on its own. Things won't change until people change. Until we all change. Until we as a human collective do the actual uncomfortable necessary work of generating change.
This is why I am so deeply committed to doing the work - day in and day out - of cultivating love, kindness, and compassion for all humans; for all living things.
Do I always get it right? Heck no. Far from it.
But am I steadfast in my commitment to staying uncomfortable, asking questions, acknowledging my missteps, learning about my blindspots, and beginning again?
You'd better believe it.
And it's practices like these - this Metta (Loving Kindness) Meditation - that support me in this lifelong journey of being a more loving, accepting, kind, compassionate human being - for ALL beings.
It starts with me. It starts with you. It starts with us. Each and every moment of each and every day.

It's been crazy stormy today. Like, thunderstorms from the moment I woke up this morning until just a little while ago. Loud, booming, and dramatic. ⛈
On days like today, I find it's easy for me to get caught up in the storm. In all the crashing thunder and the churning clouds and the pounding rain. In all that movement, all that noise. ⚡️
And yet, now, when I look out my window, I see the sky. The sky that's been there all along. The sky that was patiently holding all of that nasty crazy weather just hours prior. The sky that's always there, and always will be there - no matter how intense the storm may seem. The sky remains. ☀️
