if I had checked the weather I would have missed it. I would have taken the dry route. instead, i followed my path of connection.

I was struck on my walk by some big waves of emotion, immense love of my children, living wills, a song lyric stuck in my head about carrying debts, a lack of time to process a really powerful weekend and as I began to tear up at the intersection of it all, down it came.

and a baptismal lil moment happened right here on these sleepy streets.

a washing away. a renewal.

a joy and a sadness flooding their way through this body, reminding me of release and flow and surrender.

if you have never met spirit in this way, full body, open heart, I invite you to the practices of presence.

it is in the ritual, the routine, the consistency of showing up to yourself and something bigger that allows an immersion, an integration that has no words deep enough.

gratitude and grace and a holiness in this rain today.

and a nod of thanks to tevas vs soggy socks 😉

may it meet your drought well today too 🙏

our science and history museum hosted an exhibit opening yesterday celebrating the 19th amendment and its roots to Ky women. I was disappointed I couldn’t attend and it had me contemplating. so per usz when in my feels it often opens up a channel to something more. here is my reflection for anyone else who is interested in how yoga can intersect with day to day living. remember, the movement practice of yoga (asana) is only one piece of the pie. (full ramble In comments bc well I can’t figure out technology 🤪)

a few receipts for my rambling …
* August 26, 1920 - The 19th Amendment of the US Constitution is ratified granting women the right to vote. www.nationalwomenshistoryalliance.org
* The total population of United States is estimated to be 332.39 million with 164.55 million males (49.50%) and 167.84 million females (50.50%). There are 3.3 million more females than males in United States. www.neilsberg.com
* The number of registered women exceeds the number of men by 10 million, which means that many women are registering. In addition, “the number of female voters has exceeded that of male voters in every presidential election since 1964.” www.politics phere.com
* By a similar margin, women tilt Democratic (51% Democratic, 44% Republican, including leaners). www.pewresearch.org

i wrote yesterday that i am uncomfortable and disappointed.

it’s such a truth for me right now, i’m growing annoyed with it.

it’s not with just one thing. it’s so many.

and this is a truth about embodiment and a somatic journey.

these modalities that i practice and teach are not in an effort to only bring me peace. these practices are rooted in returning me to my truth.

how can i be calm inside this body in a country that is also every day unjustly terrorizing and separating bodies.

how can i be at ease in this body in a country that is also minimizing racism, erasing history in an effort to more easily repeat it.

how can i sit contently in this body in a country that also celebrating, supporting and elevating convicted sexual abusers.

how can i sit peacefully in this body in a country that is also championing the silencing and restricting of women.

the answer is i don’t.
i sit uncomfortably and disappointed. i sit sad and afraid. angry and ashamed. i sit and i let it move me, teach me and guide me.

just as i do the beauty of community. the freshness of air. the healing of movement. the heart of advocacy. the love of education. the resonance of silence. and the symphony of sound.

don’t get it twisted. i am not in the business of pretending things are fine. i am in the business of resourcing to consistently ground, clear and express in alignment with heart.

embodied living. i can understand the desire to bypass, bypassing tho, just ain’t my calling.

nature was naturin yesterday (what’s new 😉) and inviting me again to presence.

this bee sippin on nectar reminding me to marinate in the sweetness of life too.

and these trumpet vines and blooms winding their way to light in an effort to sustain not just for their own benefit but for the life of hummingbirds and bees, their reciprocal energetic exchange sending me into deep remembrance.

there is some darkness in this world, it is felt around here, and my work is not to look away while keeping rooted, eyes wide and heart open to the light. not just for me but for any others in need too.

other potent medicine :
🐝 community and cooperation, diligence and hard work, divine feminine, abundance, harmony, alchemy, sacred geometry

trumpet vine 🌺 joy, resilience, spiritual communication, abundance, radiance, sound harmony, support.

may it meet you well too 🙏

we are up!

(sound quality is funky 🤷‍♀️ youtube is sharper. we rollin’ on tho 😉 )

in episode 4, we expand on the convo of bypassing, inspired by a listener question ❤ we use our own lived experiences to provide more depth into our understanding of the concept and how we have navigated {or not!) along the way. we touch on accountability, justice, boundaries with plenty off the cuff ramblins. we do kick this one off with an epic somatic dance party; join us!
and as always, if you feel called to share an episode, what the conversation opens up for you, or themes for us to riff, we are here for it!

thank you, thank you, thank you ❤

a lil nugget about awareness.
presence.
storytelling.
connection.

over the weekend I noticed this special delivery right by my stoop.

this last season i have been knocked over by the vibrancy of begonias.

like they basically lit up at every nursery making it nearly impossible for me to pass up.

they have been my show stoppers quietly doing their thing in a couple of my pots with little or no help beyond a love note as I pass each day.

birds have been a staple for me the last few years too. part of my morning routine reminding my nervous system of the safety and security and loveliness that is here too. my feeder has brought more joy than I ever expected and so they have become a resource for building my capacity for joy. one season, I watched robins be born and take their first flight from my living room window. that year I actually even muzzled my dogs until the babies made their journey beyond my yard.

when I saw this special delivery outside of my front door, I knew it to be a token of gratitude and a nod to reciprocal care. in their flight path they left seeds to my most recent favorite bloom. begonias also have a message of discernment. one that reminds you to take your time and be thoughtful in the ways that you meet the world. so i am grateful for this noticing.

monday evening after class a regular (a dedicated!) student stopped me and asked me about rainbows. what do you think they mean? I returned the question because it’s more important what he thinks they mean. I invited him to be curious about when and why and how it appears. and then asked him this, have you ever asked that question before? and when he said no, I simply said welcome to the practice with a big ol grin. this is one of the most rewarding benefits of our practice, the ability to see the world in a wider and deeper way.

anyhoo, it was beautiful. all of it. and I’m giddy for what opens up next.

may your day meet you with a begonia or a rainbow moment all your own ♥️🌺🌈
