It’s soup season! 🕺

This is one of my favorite ways to get the nutrients in this time of year, when immunity can use a boost and fresh food is hard to find.

It warms you up, literally - and can also be a cozy way to embrace this season, when it’s easy to want to be out of it, missing the sunshine. ☀️

Cooking is a great mindfulness activity, and it can be so healing to immerse yourself all the vibrant colors 🌈🎨 in the middle of a gray season.

I loooove this ribollita recipe from it’s soooo yummy and a total feast for the eyes

Mindful Mondays

I try to make a point to notice the ☀️ throughout my day - but especially once in the morning, and once in the evening.

It’s a built in moment to pause, notice where I am, notice what’s beautiful around me. Choosing to see it as beautiful.

Put everything else aside, and be in this moment - just for a moment.

If it feels nice, a deep breath with a sigh can be really nice here too 💨

Choosing something that happens everyday, like a sunrise, or a sunset, can help to act as an anchor in a busy day or a busy week.

I hope that wherever you are, you have a moment today to appreciate where you’re at. 💜

🌎 I’m grateful to be here with you.

My friends.

What a heavy time it’s been, for so many of us. For weeks, for years. Poignantly so, here in Maine, this week. How strange to try to hold so much at once - joy, grief, beauty, pain, love - and to have to continue on with everyday life as we feel it all.

Take care of yourself. Basic needs first. Food, water. Rest. Grieve. Cry. Feel your feelings. Move your body - take a walk, dance, shake, whatever. Place your hands on your body, maybe on your heart. Let it move through you.

🫂 Find your people. Be in community. Take care of each other. Reach out. Hugs help.

I hope you can find some peace, and remember that love is always the answer. To every problem, to every hurt. 💛

Be kind to each other.

If you have it in you, take action. It could be as simple as checking in with the people around you, or holding the door for someone at the grocery store, offering what you have to give.

Life on Earth is not often easy, but we get through it, and find joy despite the mess, together. We get to create a better world, through our daily actions and care for ourselves and for each other.

Yoga practice can be a potent modality for processing, moving through, and coming home to the self, settling the nervous system and grounding back into the body during times of dysregulation. My intent in offering donation based yoga is to be a small part of improving access to healing and supportive practices for everyone. Please always feel free to join for free, anytime.

I’m here if you need me. Sending hugs through hyperspace to every one of you.

🤍

And so it’s July! Happy Summer ☀️ everyone, even though it’s been the rainiest so far here in Maine. 🤞 the sun will come back soon, and trying to remember to be grateful for the hydration 🌎

Here’s a few opportunities to practice with me this month! Expect a little strength, a little play, a little unwinding. A little coming back to center and hope and love in the midst of turbulent and frustrating times.

As a reminder, all zoom classes are donation based - pay what you want, pay what you can, don’t pay at all if you can’t - I’m always happy to see you and hope to support you in whatever way I can 💜

Here’s to living fully with what we’ve got - whether it’s rain, sun, or political shenanigans - and filling our own cups, so that we can then fill the cups of those around us, spreading love to those around us and creating the change we want to see in the little ways that we can.

Hope you find some time for presence and play this July 🧚🏻‍♀️ I’m grateful to be here with you!
