“I am grounded. My spirit is grounded deep in the Earth. I am calm, strong, centered and peaceful. I am able to let go of fear and trust that I am eternally safe. I am worthy of all things beautiful.” – Carly Marie This week we address breath more intensely. Take the time to review the beginning part of the video, where I walk you through how to breathe correctly, what a full breath is and we (begin) to…
Some of you may have noticed, a post did not make it up last week. And why was that? We all are going through this messy thing called life. And sometimes during the flow of it all, it becomes a struggle. We get lost. We get confused and feel alone and not sure of the next move, how we are going to get where we want to go… hell, we are not even sure of where that is anymore. Recently…
Wonderous. Absolute Testament. Encapturing reacting. I’m drawn to your flow, The way you move, How you react So effortlessly, Shaping everything in your path. You never resist, Yet always persist. Leading by example, All the lessons you teach. Available for all to see, But few to understand. Opening their minds by your gentle waves. I love riding your rapids, Surfing your waves. I’ve been caught in your undertow, To be released by your grace. Wherever I go, I find myself drawn…
“I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.” -John Burroughs This week I drove the rough and winding road up to Hurrah Pass. I gazed at the canyons on either side of me, climbed the rocks and mediated among the whipping wind and dancing dust. I listened and laughed with the with the lust of nature. How can one ever feel alone in such a place? How can one look at the…
While food is awesome, I should let you know right now that I am not talking about the deliciousness that is the taco. I am talking about my Toyota Tacoma, aka “Taco.” It is funny for me to think back to just a few years ago when I never imagined I would be living in anything but an apartment or a regular house. I have been extremely blessed in my life, able to live in these very nice places with…
“Dance with the waves, move with the sea, let the rhythm of the water set your soul free.” – Christie Anne Martine This week we head back to the ocean to explore a full body flow. Our environments affect us more than we can imagine, so let this peaceful day in Marco Island spread to your mat. Let the sun shine on your skin, the sound of the water calm your thoughts, the salty wind soothe your worries; just be….
“I am happy out here. Messy hair, dirty feet & wild water on my skin. Out here with the wild things; this is where I belong.” – Brooke Hampton As with most things I do nowadays, this trip was planned only a few days before it took place. A facebook post from a friend led to a party, which got us a solid group and then we were on the way to our adventure! (Thanks for bringing it all…
“…life nowhere appears so brave, so bright, so full of oracle and miracle as in the desert.” – Edward Abbey I fell back in love. Not in your usual sense, though. Not with a person, but with a place. The high desert. As I was walking alongside a fellow goddess, my feet stirring up the sand below me, the stars lighting up the sky above, the heat radiating from the warmth the sun had left upon the ground…
In todays society, we do a lot of sitting. At work, at meals, driving… it is a big ole part of our lives! What we do not do? Give our hips some love. They hold a lot of tension and weight from us, but we do not generally pay them the attention they need to counter it out. Let us give them some love back! This weeks class is dedicated to our hips. Let us open them up, stretch them…
“If you knew yourself for even one moment, if you could just glimpse your most beautiful face, maybe you wouldn’t slumber so deeply in that house of clay. Why not move into your house of joy and shine into every crevice! For you are the secret Treasure-bearer, and always have been. Didn’t you know?” -Rumi This weeks class is an Ocean Flow practice!! It is a bit fast paced, so feel free to pause the video and move at your own…
