Chaos theory
Sometimes you see change coming. Now and then, you might even be the one who plans or instigates it. Other times, it comes for you, whether you’re ready or not.
Calm
All will be well
Rooted. 🧘🏻♀️ I’ve never been so grateful for yoga & meditation. They’ve always been a haven for me, a place to ground myself in the midst of chaos, and reclaim my own energy when it’s been overly-impacted by my environment. 👀 It’s not just for me, though. I teach these practices because I strongly believe
Creepy crawly
In this season of all things spooky, it seems logical to think of fear as a choice. We can put ourselves in positions to be intentionally scared, or if we’re caught off guard, we catch our breath and laugh it off. Nothing to actually fear, right? So we push it away. Truth is, we’re all
Drop it already
You know what it feels like to be worried about something, right? The way that your mind becomes preoccupied with thoughts of various scenarios (usually more with the worst cases), the way your body clenches and hunches and your breath pretty much disappears. Worry, and its good friends anxiety and fear, draw our attention away
Slightly panicked
People come to me to learn about mindfulness for lots of different reasons. Sometimes they’re stressed, sometimes they want to supplement a wellness practice they already have, sometimes they just heard it’s cool and are curious.

“No-Fail” Friday: You’re grounded
Earlier this week, things got a little tense around here. Well, we talked about things being tense, anyway. We shed some light on the topic of anxiety, and those moments when your stress levels become so heightened that “catching your breath” seems like an impossible dream. It happens to the best of us, and usually

Bubbling over
There’s been a theme in my work at as a coach and an instructor over the past week or so. Even though it’s summer, which is supposedly the most relaxed time of the year, many of us are feeling just the opposite. Life seems a little dialed up this summer, for lots of different reasons.
Certainty not
We human beings love control and like to think it’s possible to get our arms completely around the course of our lives. We’re always trying to “get on top of things,” so “by next week (next month, next season…never) things will have calmed down.” But, if there’s one thing that will show you who’s
