“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist.” - Stephen Hawking

Ethan, Andy, and I enjoyed watching the Artemis II launch to the moon today. It brought back so many memories of watching these launches at school as a kid. The feeling of wonder and excitement is still there. Happy Full Moon day! 🌕

This past month and a month has been truly TRANSFORMATIONAL for me.

I wanted to share this for anyone who’s going through a hard time or feeling disconnected. I hope that this can help you, because I was there in that dark, disconnected place for a while.

Some really challenging things came up in my life, and I was struggling to hold everything together. It felt like I was being torn apart at the seams and living in survival mode. It was all that I could do just to show up and get through my days.

And I did. I continued to show up as a mom, as a wife, as a teacher, and I’m proud of myself for that, but I also felt very anxious and empty inside. I had lost connection with my spirit. Anyone who has struggled in this way knows that once the spiral begins, it can be really hard to pull yourself in a new direction and so I lived in that space for a while.

When your job is to inspire and uplift people and you are feeling personally down in the dumps, it can feel like a real crisis of character. How can I be authentic and honor what I’m feeling while also showing up for the people who depend on me?

These past several weeks have been life-changing and transformational for me, and what I did was so simple: I just started waking up 30 minutes earlier, and in those first 30 minutes of my day, I don’t look at emails or read text messages or go on social media or turn on the television or start thinking about what I need to do in my day. I just sit outside on my patio and listen to the birdsongs as the world wakes up. I write down everything that I can think of that I’m grateful for, and then I write a few words to describe how I want to show up to my life today. Next I read a few pages of a spiritual book. Whatever resonates for you that grounds you in the bigger questions of life is great. The goal is to stay out of the small, thinking mind mode and to stay in the bigger experience of spirit, live, and possibility. (Right now I am rereading The Untethered Soul which I read probably a decade ago. Coming back to it now was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend it!) Lastly, I close my eyes and sit in stillness for 5 minutes, observing what is without judgment or reaction. I simply sense myself as the clear conscious presence observing the world happening.

And then I start my day.

It seems too simple to be transformative, but beginning the day with positive thoughts and intentions and the space for some quiet and clarity sets the tone for the rest of the day. Nothing else that happens in the day feels as stressful or makes me as reactive. Most importantly, though, I’ve reconnected to my spirit, to the depth and beauty and mystery of life in a real way, and ultimately, I think that’s what everyone craves most in their lives. Purpose. Connection. Love.

These are not new revelations or lessons. Many wise people have talked about the importance of what you focus on first thing in the morning and the transformative nature of gratitude practice. In fact, these are practices I have spent years of my life doing and teaching to others, but sometimes life hits us hard with a curveball and dismantles what we thought we had all figured out. It is those moments of breakdown that can ultimately lead to spiritual breakthrough.

The path home is not a straight line. There are curves along the way. Things can happen that make us feel like there is no way out, but when we come back to these simple practices, we are reminded that the only way out is through. We have to go through the darkness and the heaviness in order to get to the other side where the light is. The only way out is in.

If you’re struggling, remember that you’re never alone. Reach out to people. Share your story. Remember that the light is always here even if you can’t always see it.

This is also a PSA that we never know what silent battles the people around us are facing so always choose kindness and compassion.

When you walk out onto your balcony to do your morning meditation and get inspired and you see this 🌈

My heart is full at the end of this busy weekend. 💗☺️It’s Week 11 of my Fall Yoga Teacher Training session and it’s student teaching time. I had the honor of witnessing some truly incredible women design their first yoga classes and bravely conquer their fears in guiding their classmates through them. It’s not just about learning and teaching the poses… public speaking is terrifying! Being vulnerable and authentic and sharing your truth to a room full of people is courageous and beautiful. I am so inspired by this group! I love the community that they have created with each other and the way in which they hold space for each other and support and uplift each other. That is what this practice is all about. 🕉️

This view is bringing me joy today. Sometimes just sitting outside for 20 minutes is all I need to recharge my soul. Feeling grateful for the beautiful place I live. 🫶🏼☺️

Happy Autumnal Equinox friends 🍁💛🍂

In the same way that we watch the trees release their leaves this season to make space for the new that is to come, this is a perfect time for letting go of everything that weighs us down. This could be in the form of something palpable and physical, such as letting go of clothes that you no longer wear or donating some of the clutter from your home. This could also be letting go of tension that you unconsciously carry in your body or mind. It could be letting go of the old stories or beliefs that you have about yourself or your life that hold you back. And in all cases, as we release the old, we make space for something new to land. 🌗

May you release whatever weighs you down or holds you back and create space for all the beautiful things already on their way. 🕉️

In the first aphorism of the second pada of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, he explains the 3 “kriyas,” or actions required for one on the path of yoga. The first two of these, “tapas” (self-discipline) and “svadhyaya” (self-study), I discussed in previous posts. In this post, I will discuss the third and final action which is “isvara pranidhana” or surrender to something bigger than ourselves.

A big part of living an authentic spiritual life is learning to live in alignment with your highest values, but in order to do that, you first have to determine what those values are. What gives your life meaning? For many of us, this might be our felt connection to God, the universe, or a higher power of some sort. For some, it might simply be the feeling of being connected to the flow of life within us and around us. For others, this might be our feeling of serving a higher purpose.

On our hardest days, knowing that we are part of something bigger and feeling that our life has meaning can give us the faith to continue moving forward. Indicated in the word “pranidhana” is the idea of surrender, or a releasing of control. This is the recognition that no matter how good our intentions are and how hard we work, there will always be a lot of things that are completely out of our control. All that we can do in this life is to give our best, and then we must step back and let go and trust that whatever comes is for our highest good.

We can’t always see the bigger picture or know how the small inconveniences today might ultimately shape into something better for us in the long run, so there is an element of faith required in order to maintain a balanced state of mind (a state of yoga).

These three qualities of self-discipline, self-study, and surrender to something bigger than ourselves are described beautifully in the Serenity Prayer:

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change” (isvara pranidhana), “the courage to change the things I can” (tapas), “and the wisdom to know the difference” (svadhyaya).

My Vision

The purpose of yoga is not just to make an individual feel better, but also to make the world a better place by bringing more consciousness and compassion into it, one yogi at a time.

I founded True FLOW Yoga in 2008 with the belief that there is more than one right answer. Through my teaching, I encourage students to look inward to discover their own Truth. The deepest level of wisdom, I believe, comes from learning to listen to the teacher within.

As a yoga teacher, my role is to inspire students to move and live in a more mindful and intentional way. My teaching style is influenced by over two decades of studying with master yoga and meditation teachers from a variety of traditions (Ashtanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa Flow, Viniyoga, Yin, Restorative, Shadow, Power, Bhakti, Insight Meditation) as well as my background in science, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Through many years of teaching, I have come to embody my own voice and style that blends anatomical precision, philosophical eloquence, and spiritual curiosity. My alignment-based vinyasa flow style synchronizes breath with movement, drawing practitioners’ awareness into one-pointed focus, while consciously selected themes and intentions infuse each practice with meaning. I explore new topics and methods in my classes regularly in order to demystify the practice of yoga. Guided into ease, students can effortlessly challenge their boundaries and leave with a renewed feeling of invigoration, awareness, and belonging.
