Yoga Off the Mat: sometimes life can feel daunting, like an uphill rock scramble. But with a pause for reflection, you can see the toe holds and finger grabs to make your way, step by step, bit by bit. (And it helps to know someone’s got your back😉💗) Hang in there, you’re stronger and more capable than you think!

Yoga Off the Mat: I have a teenager in the house again!😯 Our best boy Nemo turns 13 today. I can’t believe how time flies and how full life has been since he became part of our family🥰 He is such a beautiful example of unconditional love ❤️ Being with him, I’m reminded to smell the blossoms in springtime, to feel the sun on my face in summer, to listen to the sounds of crickets chirping and leaves crunching in fall, and to see the snow sparkling in winter😌 Happy Birthday, beautiful being😍🥳🐶

MyYogaJoy Monday: While walking with my pups this morning, we came upon this simple scene: sun shining on wild flowers. For nearly an hour, we walked without seeing another person—so peaceful😌At the same time, I wondered “Where is everyone on this beautiful day?” Could it be fear of recent incidences of Eastern Equine Encephalitis? “Officials” have recommended to limit our exposure to mosquitoes that could potentially be carrying this untreatable disease. But I refuse to live in fear—fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of loss. Yes, bad things, even tragic and traumatic things happen to good people. Yes, we should be mindful—I wore clothing that covered my limbs to reduce the risk of being bitten. Although I was walking between a lake and a river, I didn’t see a single mosquito! Instead, I heard birdsongs, felt the cool breeze and warm sun on my face, saw goldfinches flitting among the flower blossoms, and smelled the fresh air.
What is the message? Live your life fully, go for a walk, experience your surroundings with all your senses, and embrace abundance and possibility. Or, you can just go for a walk 😉👍🤗

Yoga Off the Mat: The boys are back! I love my dog nephews ❤️😍🥰 They are even getting better at understanding boundaries while I’m meditating. 😂 And yet, there’s a saying about “dancing through distractions.” Meditating, practicing yoga, or doing anything else in life is exactly that—maintaining focus despite life’s distractions. It’s part of the practice, “strengthening your container” so that you are better equipped to handle challenges. No matter what presents, you can always return to your breath😌
