YogaOfftheMat: This week we laid to rest our family piano that has been with us for over 60 years! Sadly, she couldnāt be tuned anymore, but she was played and loved by 3 generations over the yearsā¤ļø. And so my cousins helped deconstruct her with love and salvaged keys, hammers, pedals, and wood to be made into keepsakes. The theme of letting go keeps recurring over the past year, and each time I am reminded that we can do so with love, retaining the special moments in our hearts, in our memories, and in photos and small tokens. How do you hold close and let go at the same time? š¤ā¤ļøšš»

Yoga Off the Mat: we may not know how much wood a woodchuck could chuck, but why do beavers chew wood and make dams? Beavers actually chew bark and leaves for food and create dams to protect their dens from river currents and predators.
Why do you do what you do? Is it habit or purposeful intention? Being busy being busy consumes time and energy, but when your actions are packed with meaning and purpose (in yoga, your dharma), life can flow like a river without any dams.
Whatās your calling?

Yoga Off the Mat: yesterday we did a thingāI passed my dental practice ownership baton to Dr. Raquel Manleyšš»! Iām excited to stay in the office and grow in new and beautiful roles. Our team gave us a lovely custom cake and prosecco toast to our new relationship. When we started to cut the cake together, at first I placed my hand on top of hers, since she was already holding the knife. But then I became more intentional, moving my hand beneath hers in a gesture of support (vs control), something subtle yet significant. Sometimes we lead, sometimes we support, and the roles change and evolve depending on the circumstance. The key is knowing how and when to adjust. Where have you softened to become a stronger support?

Yoga Off the Mat: Iām blessed to be back at Kripalu this weekend and participating in a retreat for (care) givers led by Rachel Macy Stafford. One exercise was to notice which trees we noticed while walking around campus, and why. I saw trees that depicted times when my body was broken and when my heart was broken; trees that blended into the community and others that stood out and clearly did not fit in; trees with scars inside and out; trees that were resiliently growing out of rocks; trees with quirky qualities; and trees that demonstrated solid alignment with a soft, mossy exterior. Which tree(s) represents you?
