I surfaced out of retreat this morning.   INTENSE. A week of seated mindfulness meditation…(give or take 1 or 2 days of an ego tantrum).  It was a humbling experience.    I live alone.  Close to nature.  In the wilderness every day.  I live in relative silence, without tv, and spend the majority of most days on my own.  I have done … More Post-Retreat

  Two things that signal to me my desire to connect to others.  As I write there is pulled pork braising in the oven, covered and seared in homemade rub and the scent wafting through my office.    I am sitting with gratitude for my circle and an overpowering need to write what is coming … More Cooking and Writing…

Exploring Freedom through the lens of a Personal Life Philosophy.   This weekend I am celebrating my birthday.  43 trips around the sun.  Like the transitions between seasons, or the end and beginning of the year, I give times like this special significance by using them as reflection points.  I spend the morning going through my planner; each month … More What Channel do you live on?

Mind Body Whole Wellness celebrates 5 years today!   Whether you are friend, family, student, teacher, client or follower you probably know a little bit about where the last 5 years have taken me.  Since I accepted the dare to apply to “yoga school”, life has been a full blown transformation that brought so much change.     November … More 5 Years of Freedom

  When I come across something inspiring that really resonates with me I make a screensaver for my phone.  It’s the best way I have found to keep my primary intention at the forefront of my awareness. June 27th I found this statement from a woman I follow…check her Instagram @silfath.sophia She is all things Divine Feminine.  It has … More …easier and more magical…

  I mentioned in my August 1st post that I intentionally leave the word “Yoga” out of my description when I get asked what I do.  There tends to be a generalized picture of what people expect when I say, “Yoga Therapist”.  Yoga and specifically Yoga Therapy goes beyond the movement of an exercise class…   So what is … More Global Yoga Therapy Day
