Maybe you came to yoga for flexibility or strength.
And then, somewhere along the way, it started to feel like something more.
⠀
You began to notice your patterns—on the mat and in your life. Where you resist. Where you push. Where you soften. You started to sense how your breath shapes your body, and how your thoughts shape your breath.

Through practice, your awareness sharpened. Not just of your muscles or joints, but of your internal dialogue. The narratives you live by. The way your body speaks when you finally get quiet enough to listen.

You start to discern what’s noise and what’s true.
And in that space of clarity, yoga becomes less about what you do and more about how you are.

Yoga is a way home to the simplest truth: your own presence.

What have you learned about yourself through practice?

Im reading a book called "blue mind" and it s about the effects of gazing at bodies of water on our psyche. I feel so fortunate to live close to the Rice Creek and the chain of lakes. I monitored the water quality of Baldwin Lake this summer so I got on the creek quite a few times. One more time yet to go.. I'm hoping it won't be too darn cold!

NEW PODCAST:🎙️🎧 Permaculture & Palestine—Live Conversation with Alfred Decker at the Nest City Lab, Barcelona, Spain. Visit Starhawk.substack.com or follow the link in my bio to listen. More here ⬇️

🎧🎙️
This episode is a conversation I had in Barcelona back in September with permaculture designer and teacher Alfred Decker, who works with Permaculture for Refugees and teaches with Earth Activist Training and his own organization, 12 Principles Permaculture. We talk about the potential of permaculture to offer support for refugees, and share more about the historical context of the Gaza situation. Alfred speaks about the initiative ‘Permaculture in Palestine,’ and our hope to be able to offer help for healing and regeneration in the region.

We were also joined by Sherry Maurin, who is part of the steering committee for the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. Of course, the situation has evolved rapidly since this conversation was recorded two months ago. And today, the effort to end the slaughter and build hope and justice in the Middle East remains more crucial than ever.

Last night's Supermoon rising over Yosemite National Park 🌕 💦

While it looks otherworldly, this effect was achieved through a long-exposure composite and careful alignment of natural light. A breathtaking example of creative astrophotography meeting perfect timing.
