Yoga Off the Mat and morning shadow art: This morning as I sat in my kitchen journaling with the sunrise coming over the hill behind our home, I noticed these shadows on the wall—images of two calla lilies setting on the kitchen island and a bird sticker that’s on our picture window (to deter birds from flying into it). Moments later the sunlight shifted and the images were gone, a simple reminder that there is beauty all around us, if only we pause and notice. Life is just a series of moments, and being present helps us to savor each moment😌🙌🏻. Wishing tou a “moment-ous” weekend! 🤗

Yoga Off the Mat: sometimes it takes the pure joy of my 14 year old puppy to remind me to give myself Grace—time and space to just be in the moment, experiencing life’s simple pleasures😌🙌🏻🤗What are you doing (or not doing!) lately that brings you joy?

Yoga Off the Mat: after too many hours of traveling across the country, I stepped off the plane and immediately saw this sign🧘🏼♀️. While I didn’t practice at the airport, I’m grateful that yoga is available wherever we are—to stretch, breathe, pause, practice presence and mindfulness. 😌And every time we practice, we open ourselves to greater wellness, joy and Bliss. 🙌🏻 Where have you found yoga lately? 🤔

Yoga Off the Mat: Sometimes you go to a country fall fair and your husband buys you a custom fairy headband that was fabricated with love by your beautiful niece💗. Yes, sometimes this happens, and you wear it with pride throughout the streets, and people smile and complete strangers start conversations with you😂. Some days Yoga Off the Mat is just that—being comfortable in your own skin, not worrying about what others think, and being delighted by the way that doing so brings joy and connection🙌🏻. How are you practicing joy and connection?🤗

Yoga Off the Mat: last night I had the privilege of presenting and sharing “Beyond Burnout: Cultivating Resilience & Joy in Dentistry” to the California Dental Association virtually via webinar. Everything was set and ready to go, ironing out logistics beforehand, and when we went live, suddenly my slides would not advance😱. With hundreds of viewers and hundreds more who would watch the recording, for a moment I felt like a deer in headlights—frozen. 😳 But then the moderator suggested I stop and restart my share screen (while she continued a monologue), and we were up and running again in probably 30 seconds (which felt longer!). And it was a perfect segue to the topic! Stress happens, but it doesn’t have to throw you off balance or spiral into burnout. We can pause, collect ourselves, and reset with self-composure. 🙌🏻 What a great reminder to breathe, and not be afraid to ask for help. And the webinar? It went smoothly without another hitch👍😁🤗

Yoga Off the Mat: “pulling back the curtain,” if you will. This is me rehearsing for the California Dental Association webinar I’ll be sharing later this week—in my pajamas, in my dining room, empty Amazon boxes for props, and my loyal labradoodle Nemo asking to be pet❤️. Didn’t know I was being filmed. #keeping it real👍
