Yesterday morning as I strolled the streets of D.C. I saw my first 𝙨𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙧𝙤𝙥𓆸

Its small whiteness stood out amidst the grey snow and developing mud.

Snow drops are hardy blooms that often push through the snow. They are symbolic- they represent 𝙃𝙊𝙋𝙀 & 𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙒𝘼𝙇- vital themes as we are on the cusp of a new season.

The invitation this week is to 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮 𝙃𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙡
The snow drop was a beautiful reminder of Marianne Williamson’s words: “although darkness, stalks light, the light will always reassert itself, no matter what is happening, the universe is invested in healing.”

✌︎❀These past several weeks have taken a toll on many of us. In my yoga classes, private appointments, workshops, and other gatherings, I am hearing a singular, resounding theme; that of folks needing to feel deeply connected right now.

♥︎It is not an easy line to walk in an attempt to stay aware and engaged while also practicing self-care.

𖠋𖠋𖠋I encourage you to seek out community and support in anyway that you can. I appreciate how difficult this is in light of the cold weather, the onslaught of scary news and the body’s natural defense to keep you safe and protected sometimes manifesting itself as the desire to never leave one’s house.
𝐈 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐈𝐓!

☞Be gentle with yourself, yet steadfast. Take small steps and keep moving forward. Keep informed and titrate the information with discernment.

🗓️Our next FREE online yoga 🧘‍♂️ class is THURSDAY 𝟐/𝟓 at 6:30am. This is a 30 min gentle practice with a trauma sensitive approach.

The timing is right (wise) for our upcoming Meditation & Book Study. After a weekend of heart wrenching news we arrive at this messy weather Monday with frustration, fear, anger, some helplessness and hopelessness.

Each morning after my meditation (and as a group) we recite 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘼𝙡𝙡
