When I consider being firmly grounded, I think of the roots of a willow or an elder oak rooting itself into the earth, offering up the strength and stability from which the tree grows and flourishes.

When I consider what it is to “well attend”, I think of the consistency of a honey bee tending to her hive with focus and dedication and care without expectation of anything in return.

In all earnestness for me brings to mind what is most important to me, and what am I willing to do for that.

I come to my mat everyday not to become anything more than grounded in the miracle of me, living on this planet, at this moment.

Peace, peace, peace ☮️

“Snigdhah sh*ta gururmandah shlakshno mritsnah sthirah kaphah”

Kapha is unctuous, cool, heavy, slow, smooth, soft, and static.

— Ashtanga Hrdayam: Sutrasthana I:12

Late winter into Spring is Kapha season. Kapha is made up of the Earth & Water elements. You can see it in nature; an abundance of water & a heaviness in the earth that naturally accompanies excess water. In you, excess of kapha can show up as resistance to change & physical activity, a heaviness in the mind and feeling stuck or uninspired. Your digestion can feel sluggish, too; you may notice you have a ravenous appetite, but feel a heaviness after meals.

It’s also a time of renewal and energy. The qualities of kapha, when in balance, can allow for smooth joint movement, a soft and empathic heart, good stamina and well formed muscles, as well as a feeling of mental and emotional grounding.

To bring out the best qualities of kapha in you this season, think MOVEMENT! Try to exercise every day .. whether that’s a brisk walk, power yoga or a few jumping jacks. Something to get your heart rate up and get you sweating. Also, have a moderate amount of warming, light and freshly cooked foods to maintain balance and support healthy digestion. And, favor pungent, bitter, and astringent tastes this season.

Friends …

Join me this Friday!!

Step into stillness and surrender to the deep, healing rest your body and mind crave. This 60-minute guided Yoga Nidra meditation invites you to lie back, let go, and journey inward. Through gentle breathwork and a systematic, body-based meditation, you’ll clear mental clutter, dissolve stress, and access a higher state of awareness.

More than relaxation, this is a reset for your soul—a powerful practice that reconnects you to your intuition, purpose, and inner peace. Leave feeling light, aligned, and fully grounded in yourself.

Please bring a blanket or anything that helps you feel warm and supported while you rest.

No movement necessary. Just come as you are, and get ready to float.

Friends!

Save the Date!

The wisdom practice of cleansing at the start of each season is considered a vital part of an Ayurvedic lifestyle with potential for improved energy, sleep, metabolism, and immunity.

The YOUnion Spring Cleanse follows the wisdom of Ayurveda to maximize your body’s natural inclination to shed accumulated fat and toxins from the winter as we enter the lighter and more energetic time of Spring. We’ll use a plant-based program prepared by which detoxifies and nourishes the body.

This is not a fast, rather a time to simplify your diet to make room for a renewed sense of physical, emotional and mental self.
