I wish for myself an inconvenient life. A life wh

I wish for myself an inconvenient life.

A life where dinner takes hours to prepare and I can journal while my tea takes time to cool.

A life where it takes time for me to share in person about my heartaches and celebrations; that you don’t find out about my most intimate details through the scroll of a post.

A life where I have time for the hard conversations with the people I choose to engage with, rather than the cancel culture we have become accustomed to.

A life that honors and cherishes the dedication of being an apprentice verse the addiction to being the master.

A life where love knows the pain and sweetness of holding on and letting go.

A life where I rest my body when I am not feeling well rather than taking a pill or pushing through the pain.

A life where I savor the cycles of planting a garden and cutting my own flowers to create beauty in my home.

A life where I learn to carve, paint and play rather than critique, defend or deny.

A life where I can watch the waves of uncertainty take over humanity and trust my contributions are impacting the web of existence in a life affirming way, even if I don’t see the results today.

A life where I am dedicated to truth, freedom and liberation from the inside out and know that if there is anything I do to be of service, it is to be committed to seeing clearly and acting from this place.

A life where I don’t just point the finger at “them” and am willing to know I AM THEM and I have more work to do.

A life where I can hold space for their pain, their confusion, their hurt.

A life where I write letters to those I love, where I cook food for my friends, and I take time to connect with those who are my chosen family.

A life where I connect to death daily, so I am deadly serious about being alive.

A life that isn’t going anywhere, but yet at the same time goes everywhere.

A life where I am infused with truth, love, kindess and generosity; and a touch of sarcasm.

A life where I am okay creating boundaries, walking away from or saying no to.

I wish for myself a life that takes its time, a life I love to live.

And I wish for you -the life you wish for.

I wrote a book 📖 for these times. And what a we

I wrote a book 📖 for these times. And what a weird and perfect time for it to be published @stmartinspress . Will it end all of the worlds problems, probably not—but do I believe with every cell in my body it provides the inquiries, a manual for the soul, of the internal work that needs to be done for each and everyone of us— 💯. This book provides insights and inquires that truly could change the course of your life. But only if you are ready to do the #work.

Yes, voting matters. Yes, politics have an impact (I still imagine someday I will run for office). The choices we all make also have an impact—every moment of every day. May we all take responsibility into our own hands and be daring to have uncommon integrity.

It is EASY to point the finger out at all the work “they need to do” but it takes courage to look in and do the work internally + individually that needs to get done.

Thank you to everyone who has already purchased the book. If you haven’t, now might be the time. Let’s rise up, and take one step closer to a more awakened and evolved society.

#Blessings to us all as we navigate these intense times and fully participate in the world I think many of us long for—a more #connected, #kind and #loving society.

Link is in the bio to purchase the book for yourself or for someone you care about who is ready. 💕

It has been a long time since I have taught a publ

It has been a long time since I have taught a public yoga class. Since I’ve been co-leading a 200hr YTT I feel inspired (and reminded) once again by the power of yoga—movement + breath. So, I thought I’d share a [FREE] class with you— Saturday September 5 at 8am EST. Oh, and we will have tea and chat after if you want.

I’d love to see you. Space is limited. Link in bio to sign up.

A child longs to be seen, to be heard, to be under

A child longs to be seen, to be heard, to be understood—and when they don’t feel so it often ends in tears or a tantrum. At some point, this child finds other interesting ways to get attention to get these needs met.

Eventually this child becomes a teenager—with the same desires and more interesting ways to get these longings met.

Now this teenager has become an adult. Still longing to be seen, to be heard and to be understood. This child/adult has accumulated so many helpful but probably more unhelpful ways to try to be seen -heard -and understood.

These same children, become a world of adults creating rules, laws and beliefs on how we should live. We have crafted a world full of desperation to be seen, to be heard and to be understood—but unfortunately in our cry to know we matter and that we belong, we have hurt so many along the way. We create separation and hurt, we become addicted to doing because it gives a momentary hit of mattering or purpose.

But after the doing, the climbing, the defending, the efforting, the posting, the compromising, the judgments—there simply comes a time when if we are lucky enough, listen long enough, stay long enough, open enough, let go enough—that we stop looking for ways to be seen and heard and understood out “there” and we start to realize that all along, the “one” who wanted to be seen and could see was inside, the “one” who could truly hear was inside, and that the only one who could ever understand was always right here.

I am in the “pause” phase of my life—not jus

I am in the “pause” phase of my life—not just because life has created a pause. I wonder who I will be on the other side. Been daydreaming about potential projects, free workshops I’d love to offer, people and places I long to visit.

Tell me, if I were to offer a free workshop (online) what would you want it to be about?

And so it begins!!! Lahari 200hour Yoga Teacher Tr

And so it begins!!! Lahari 200hour Yoga Teacher Training. It’s beyond an honor to share my love of Yoga with this new community of seekers. I 💗 them already 🌊.

For the last 15 years teaching I start most worksh

For the last 15 years teaching I start most workshops saying something like “the world is falling apart, and what if that was the good news?” And if the world is falling apart what do we want to create together?
.
.
When I keep asking myself “what can I do, how can I sincerely contribute” I have to remind myself I PUBLISHED A BOOK THIS YEAR during a pandemic-when it feels like the world as we know it is falling apart. And what if that was the good news. I am not saying what has happened is “good”—but rather it’s simply time that the pain, destruction, and hurt we continue to pass on needs to end.
.
.
I don’t think this book will end all of the worlds problems—but—I do think if “we” really did the work in this book—like actually did the work—the world would change. We would collectively shift the course of existence. We would contribute to a more conscious and evolved society.
.
.
I’ve created a goal to sell 1,000 books in the next month and will donate all of the proceeds to make this world a better place-supporting the planet, our sacred lands, protecting children, education reform and water. There is a lot of work to be done.
.
At first I thought 1,000 books in one month- how will I be able to do that? Well, I need your help to want to make this world a better place too-which I know you do. So many of “us” have been looking for “what can I do?”....Well, I can guarantee, if you dive deep and DO this book- you will be supporting a better world.
.
.
The world is falling apart. Thank goodness—the time really is now. To order a copy of my book—link is in my bio. Please consider helping me share the book- share it with a friend-tag someone else who is looking for the next step. And- you don’t need to be into “yoga” to get a lifetime of inquiries from this book. From my heart, thank you. 💕

What if one step in the "right" direction was to f

What if one step in the "right" direction was to feel and heal our own grief, so we can feel and heal the grief of the world? What if part of waking up, was to stop disassociating from our own pain, so we can stop disassociating from the world's pain? I'm not saying this is THE answer, but what if it was a skillful step?

My home is truly a sacred space to me. A place of

My home is truly a sacred space to me. A place of practice, love, joy and grief, freedom and creativity. It feels vulnerable to share my home “online”—yet, at the same time—it feels time to be open in a new way.
.
So here I am, opening my barn, a piece of my home, my heart, my love of Yoga in all of it’s forms with those that are ready to begin this journey.
.
Our Blue Barn has transformed into our “online yoga studio”, where for the next few months we will dive into the depths of what it means to begin the journey of being a facilitator or “teacher” of yoga.
.
We have 10 days left for the early bird pricing and only 5 spots remain for our training. This truly is an ALL STAR STAFF, in my eyes, some of the best of the best. I know an online Yoga Teacher Training is not for everyone, and that is more than ok—but I can promise you, if you say YES to this journey you will be held, supported, seen, and encouraged every step of the way.
.
We welcome you to our hOMe…to the heart of yoga, to community, truth, evolution and transformation.

Link is in bio to learn more and to apply—and any support spreading the word is greatly appreciated! ❤️

Lahari = Wave. . I've been at Kripalu for 13 years

Lahari = Wave.
.
I've been at Kripalu for 13 years now and when we heard the news that Kripalu was going to be closed to in-person programming until 2021 --that was A HUGE WAVE for many of us to ride. AND....It called us to rise up, but more importantly come together. And so we did.
.
The power of having a practice. A practice that teaches you how to "ride the waves" is how we were able to say "ok, this wave was not a wave we wanted to ride--but WE CAN'T CHANGE THE OCEAN, we can only get better at riding whatever wave comes in.
.
So here we are beyond excited and in AWE of the mysterious ways life calls us forth as we begin this journey with an amazing ALL STAR FACULTY, curious seekers, and a dedication to doing better, being better, and ultimately learning how to ride the waves of life more skillfully. Will yoga ends all of the worlds problems? No. But do I think it can provide a technology to move us in the right direction. Absolutely.
.
If it interests you to learn to ride the waves, with more skill + grace--this might be your training. Not everyone wants an online YTT, that is OK--honestly, it wasn't until a few months ago that I would have ever realized the power of community--even through a screen--because the truth is--when I/you/we are dedicated and interested in truth, there is always a way to connect and do the work.
.
I say this just for information, not as a way to rush anyone into signing up.....but.....we only have a few spots left, early-bird ends soon and we do have funding for awards to be offered.
.
Let's ride the waves, let's do the work that needs to get done--together.
.
And of course, your willingness to share this with anyone who might be interested is appreciated.
