Breathe…

Let nature remind you to breathe, not just with your lungs, but with your whole being. Let the wind teach you how to let go, the trees how to stand still, and the rivers how to keep moving forward. In the rustle of leaves, in the hush of the dawn, in the quiet patience of the earth, there is a steady rhythm calling you back to yourself. Inhale the calm, exhale the chaos. Let each breath be a conversation with the sky, the soil, and the soul. Let the world outside soften the storm within.

Find your rhythm, find your flow. Notice the edges... soften, bend.

Drop comparison, go your own way.

Notice... notice the earth below you, around you, holding you, nurturing you, anchoring you to all of this earth bound experience.

Notice... notice the elements all around you; water, fire, wind and more --supporting you in all you do.

Notice... notice the heavens above. Offering hope, future, Light.

Reach, breathe in, breathe out. Let Heaven and Nature Sing.

A Place to Rest

Rest comes in many forms—mental, physical, emotional. Sometimes, the most nourishing thing we can do is put everything down: the ideas, the worries, the busyness, and simply rest.

In yoga, Savasana is the ultimate invitation to rest deeply. For me, it feels like lying under a canopy of trees—calm, safe, and completely at peace. This pose reminds me that rest isn’t just a pause; it’s where I find renewal and strength to keep growing.

Take a moment today to let go and recharge. Explore more at gobodhiyoga.com

Reach for the Light

Letting the light in. Seek for it. Feel it. Explore it. Absorb it. See where it takes you.

Letting Go

Reclined Twist Pose reminds me to release what no longer serves me, like trees shedding their leaves. What can you let go of today?

Earth Connection
Yoga connects me to the earth in a way that feels sacred. In Child’s Pose (Balasana), I feel held and safe, like being cradled by the ground itself. Consider doing Child’s Pose in nature. Breathe in the smell of the soil, notice the smells of fall and winter. Approach with gratitude the moment right there for you. Create space in your body, in your breath. Connect.

Finding Balance
When I practice Tree Pose (Vrksasana), I think about how life challenges us to balance strength and flexibility. This pose is a reminder to stay rooted while reaching for new heights. Notice how one side of your body may balance easier or with greater challenge than the other. Explore balance.

The Breath of Life

The basics of yoga are based on the principal of Breathe Bone Gesture. First feel your breath flow through you like sap through a tree. Feel your bones line up, the joints working with each other, and then find the movement. Work with the beautiful structure of your body- see what it can do.

Rooted in Nature
Yoga has been an anchor—a way to find stillness in the midst of life’s storms. Wtih Mountain Pose (Tadasana), we root ourselves into the earth. Feel grounded and steady.

Simple Peace

Not too many people know that I started a Yoga Teacher Certification course several months ago. Truth be told – I’m not all that great at poses, memorizing names of things, or even very flexible. So why did I begin a Yoga Teacher Cert? It is for what yoga means – the simple peace it offers, the connection to parts of myself that I hadn’t really been willing or able to acknowledge yet.

The next 30 days, I’ll share part of my journey with you, weaving nature-inspired yoga, personal reflections, and Bodhi Yoga principles like the Breathe Bone Gesture. Together, we’ll explore how yoga roots us in peace, encourages growth, and connects us to the beauty of life.

I hope you’ll follow along and maybe even find your own moments of Simple Peace.
