Spring marks the end of winter and opens the opportunity for a cycle of rebirth and renewal. In the spiritual realm, this rebirth is interpreted as an opportunity to leave behind old ways of being and open ourselves to new possibilities of growth and transformation. Just as the flowers emerge from the earth, we too have the opportunity to grow and evolve in different areas of our lives.

Often, we are told that communication forms the fundamental pillar of human relationships. However, before we can establish effective communication with others, we must cultivate an internal dialogue with ourselves. In the fast-paced world we live in, it's common to wake up and immediately dive into daily routines, without taking the time to sincerely ask ourselves where are minds are at.

In these turbulent times, community emerges as a sacred amulet, offering guidance, support, and invaluable rootedness. In a world that moves so fast, with the accelerated growth of technology that connects and disconnects us at the same time, remember to cultivate a space that offers you refuge, warmth, and comfort, that niche of connections where you can share, heal, love, and be part of something more.

We’ve forgotten how to truly let ourselves loose, or at least I have. To get lost in the moment. To let all of that crippling weight we lug around with us from the moment we open our eyes until we close them again, let all of it fall to the wayside. FUN. Where is it? We’re missing it.

Most of us have fallen into the habitual pattern of closing down, retracting, and living in a fight or flight mode scared that we will get hurt. We walk hunched down, lost in our heads, carrying our bags, as we continue to lock and close ourselves down. As we mechanically and unconsciously contract our front body day after day, the psoas muscle also hardens..

We try to control our life, our bodies, and our experience of the world because we think that everything relies on what we DO or DON’T do in life. How little do we know, because in reality, nothing really depends on us. Life has its own magical way of making things happen, which has nothing to do with how much we push, shove, and pull.

It becomes very obvious to me how easy it is to get sucked in the vortex of the city's busyness; of how fast it is to become a productive thick-skinned human being. When we unconsciously choose to become numb in order to have peace of mind, we block experiences out so we don’t have to deal with the burden of having to feel them. But in doing so, we miss out on life’s richness.

Being wild has nothing to do with going to the rainforest or Africa. Wildness is really about taking a ride to the wild places inside you. Getting in touch with our inner natural wildness is about yearning to grow and connecting with something inside of us that is alive and ready to evolve.

This is a very special time of the year; a time to reflect and re-locate ourselves in the timeline of our lives. A time perhaps to re-envision things, to recharge, and to change if we feel that change is in fact necessary. Change is the uttermost natural aspect of our human nature, and of nature itself.

Pump yourself up and refresh your mind using just the power of your breath. With this video you will basically be using AIR in order to create HEAT in order to experience your own brightness before you walk out the door in the morning.

Turmeric really is a gold mine for anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and antioxidant properties. I love to drink it in tea, or in this delicious GOLDEN LATTE

In an ideal world we would be able to express how we feel right away, and thus be in a constant state of motion liberating ourselves moment to moment saying how we feel, and not keeping anything in, or resenting anyone. But of course we can’t always express how we feel because

No matter where you might be in the world the sun is always there, even if the seasonal rains and cloudy weather don’t let us see it. Move your morning along with this two-minute Morning Salutations video to warm up your body and focus your mind in preparation for a new day.

I had no idea that the rough-and-tumble periods of my life were going to be (and still are) the moments of greatest realizations and massive shifts.

Just as the moon comes to illuminate areas in our lives, I’d like to also shed some light on the essence of Asana, its importance, and how it’s not only about having a physical practice, but also about self connection.

This astronomical event happens only twice a year, with the spring or vernal equinox falling on March 20, 2022, and the autumnal or hibernal solstice on September 22, 2022. It’s rare and special, and an invitation to examine the day and night within us all and to illuminate the light and darkness within.

Our to do’s live with us in our minds 24/7 whether we want it or not. They form part of our present moment, and thus they have the power to color our whole life.

It took me a while to shed off my superficial “why’s” like “I want to be more flexible” or “I want to have more energy” or “I want to stop being anxious” or “I want to lose weight.” Nothing wrong with those desires, but they’re not the deepest why’s, nor are they inspiring. In my search for why’s I came across Jivamukti Yoga in 2011.

Transformation is constantly at work, at the surface or silently in the background. We are here to grow and this growth might not be visible right away, but the brewing and simmering are happening underneath the surface. Every seed is alive and ready to sprout, but seeds take time to grow. We ought to cultivate patience, openness, and space for this ALIVE process to come to full fruition. To change, a part of us must die.
