Silly Yoga World. Though I truly believe everyone

Silly Yoga World.
Though I truly believe everyone should do as they wish…I have a few thoughts.
.
First, relax. We are all going to die. If someone finds a yoga practice that they like + you don’t—who cares? We are just going to die, oh wait, I already said that.
.
My 2 cents:
It might not be for me, but I don’t care what your yoga looks like. I actually don’t care if you do yoga at all.
I don’t care if your yoga includes beer, wine, or CBD.
I don’t care if your yoga has goats, dogs, or bunnies.
I don’t care if you talk about philosophy, anatomy, or use humor.
I don’t care if you are using a paddle board, or are on a yoga mat, or in the mountains.
I don’t care if you listen to hip-hop, chant mantras, or believe that silence is best.
I don’t care if you believe in the eight-limbs or have ever read a sacred text.
I don’t care if you mispronounce a Sanskrit word or don’t use Sanskrit at all.
I don’t care if you dabble in yoga or fully immerse yourself in one tradition.
I don’t care if you’ve been to Wanderlust, Kripalu, or India.
I don’t care if your classes are donation based or if you charge $25.
I don’t care if you agree with what I believe.
.
I do care about the amount of judgment in the yoga world. The need to be “right” + make so many others wrong. In the name of “healing” there is a lot of hurt being spread. YES. There is a lot out there that I DO NOT align with - there are many things that I would do differently than others—but whatever. Why waste so much precious time judging other peoples yoga—I simply share the way I think is inclusive and with integrity —and try to learn about my blind spots.
.
I do care that you find any practice that brings you inward, whatever that may look like. I do care that you learn to fall in love with yourself and the life force itself—and if that means goats, paddle boards + CBD all at the same time—GOOD FOR YOU. I do believe in kindness in any form + cleaning up messes along the way.
.
My yoga doesn’t need to be your yoga. We are just going to die. So maybe we should all shut the f*ck up every now and then, oops, didn’t mean to say that…I mean, take a deep breath and OMMMMMMMM.

Oh the irony (I never know if that’s the right w

Oh the irony (I never know if that’s the right word choice). Anyway- I just read an excerpt from a yoga/meditation book about inclusivity but instead of it feeling inclusive it felt incredibly judgmental. I’m not opposed to having an opinion and even having judgments, its just the hypocrisy. If you want inclusivity, make sure it’s inclusive. If you want power, just say that instead. If there is something else you want, be clear. As a speaker and writer I love contemplating the power + responsibility of words. The world of “words” is a tricky one/ and so many people are afraid to speak up now because of fear of offending- I’d say,
be daring to speak up anyway, stay open, listen + raise the bar on truth, not just what is trending.

Shhhh. 🤫 I’ve been thinking about posting for

Shhhh. 🤫 I’ve been thinking about posting for a while—and when I finally decided to, the plane ✈️ was my inspiration—for myself + maybe for you. We might all be better off if we all said a little less. (And, as always— do whatever you want — and of course there are times to speak up—blah, blah—but you get what I am saying 😉 just a friendly inquiry).

Disclaimer, those easily triggered- I think you sh

Disclaimer, those easily triggered- I think you should do what you want. And, I think about this a lot: I know that the wellness world 🧘‍♀️ provides so much—but I also don’t think it’s “good” that so many professions-identities-self worth are tied directly to other people’s suffering. Think about it for a minute. Many of us have work because other people are hurting. 🤔.
.
.
I know it’s not much-but one of my greatest aims this decade it to provide tools, information, content, knowledge for free. Part of why I wrote my book is so that the information can be more accessible to more people. 💗.
.
.
My biggest dream ☁️—that someday nobody “needs” a life coach, leadership training, reiki master, shaman, @tonyrobbins workshop because we have created a world of truth, kindness, and well being —and our communities provide the support needed. Yes, that means I’d be out of business, and I’d be okay with that. More than ok if it meant people no longer were suffering. ☀️.
.
.
So, if you haven’t ordered a copy of my book (link in bio) please know all proceeds are being donated for scholarships and free content for those in need + a huge thank you to those who have already purchased the book—you’ve already supported 1:1 coaching, trainings, and online programming for so many! 💕

This is Winston. He was one of my first “students”. Though I appreciate him, for so many reasons; his great listening skills, the fact that he never clicks a pen while I am teaching, and that he is always on time—at one point I was ready to share with others.
.
Last week was a very special week for me. I was blessed with the opportunity to share with 40+ souls my program Quarter-Life Calling (QLC): Creating an Extraordinary Life in Your 20’s and what it means to LIVE YOGA not do yoga. Also last week, my book, One Degree Revolution: How the Wisdom of Yoga Inspires Small Shifts That Lead to Big Changes had it’s book birthday.
.
I haven’t really had time to feel all the feelings…celebrating 10 years of teaching QLC and the birthing of this book. But, I wanted to say thank you. Thank you to all of my teachers—in all the different ways you have shown up. Thank you to those of you who have supported me and this book. I really don’t have the words right now to express how grateful I am, beyond grateful.
.
In the coming weeks/months—I am going to take time to find more ways to share, create free content (it is one of my greatest desires at this time to share the wisdom of yoga that we all deserve regardless of finances), I am going to take time to feel, to celebrate, and to create a boundary with the “perfectionist gremlin” that wants to creep in and tell me what I should have done different!.
.
I am still looking for more ways to share the book. If you are open to it, share with your friends, buy the book for a friend, ask your local yoga studio to sell in their shop, or if you are therapist, a coach, a yoga teacher trainer—maybe consider including it in your curriculum or gifting it for your students or clients. This book is for everyone, no interest in “yoga” necessary. The link is in my bio, and for now—all the proceeds from the book are going to free content and scholarships. Together we can make a difference—we all know it’s time we come together. This book may just be part of the solution to moving us to living in a more kind, conscious, loving world. ❤️

My mom can only buy so many of my books...it would mean the world to me if you would take a peak and purchase a book for yourself or someone else you love. I promise it’s the perfect book for the new year! And all proceeds from books sold today are being donated—so you get a book and help someone else—that’s a nice thing to do :) Link is in bio, it only takes a second to click on now!!❤️

BOOK GIVEAWAY!!
.
Happy 2020!! And, I get to be one of those people who get to give things away!! YAY :) I love giving gifts!
.
All you need to do is:
1. Like this image
.
2. #Tag a few friends who inspire you —let’s say at least 2 friends and for fun, let them know what you love about them...
.
3. Comment what ‘beginning again’ in 2020 means to you—could be as simple as one word! Winners will be randomly picked, the more you tag your friends the more entries you have, and you will be DM’ed if you won (and I’ll need your mailing address so we can mail the book to you!)
.
And here are a few words from the chapter Begin Again —as we all get another chance :).
.
“If you subscribe to the belief that life is a process, a blossoming and unfolding- you will begin to see that there is no “end of the road,” and rather there is always more to experience. Experience has a beginning, a middle, and an end, only to begin again. At some point you start to look forward to the cycles, the rhythms, and see them all as another chance to live yoga. Every breath of every moment of every day is an opportunity to practice, to engage, to participate: to learn to sit in the fire, to live with our highest integrity and authenticity, to take responsibility for our actions, to be supportive of others, or to be daring enough to ask for help, to pause, to compost your old story into fuel to create a new story, to trust the mystery of life, to soften and surrender, and to listen for the calling that is knocking at your heart and live out your life purpose. Life truly is a grand experiment.” 🌊 ☀️ ❤️. ****UPDATE: Winners have been selected and messaged! Thanks for playing!

Who am I really? Who are you really? . Since I was

Who am I really? Who are you really?
.
Since I was in my early 20’s I have practiced meditating on my death. This has been a profound practice for me, at times terrifying, usually inspiring. The other night, I woke up in almost a panic (not a feeling I usually experience) with this profound awareness of death to “who I am”. I laid there and watched my feelings, and wowza-what a journey of witnessing—but it led me to a deeper sense of “who I really am”.
.
This dance between who we are and who we really are has always fascinated me. I am one who welcomes it all—I don’t think one aspect of self is better than the other, I just think it’s important to have a relationship with both parts. Tell me, what do you think? I’m actually “listening” :).
.
In my book One Degree Revolution, we dive deep into this inquiry even more—if these kinds of questions fascinate you, order a copy of the my book + know that all proceeds of books preordered (only 10 more days!!!) are being donated to create scholarships and free online programming for those who normally would not be able to dive into these practices, that truly belong to all of us, because of financial reasons. Link is in the bio, it really only takes an extra second to click on it! Thank you and may 2020 be the year we all long for. 💕

This is one of my favorite topics to talk about. Too often you’ll hear people say “everything happens for a reason, or “it” was meant to happen”—what if that simply wasn’t true? What if it was more complex than that? Tell me, what do you think? To dive into this more, order a copy of my book—link is my bio (ir really only takes an extra second to click on bio link!) Also, all proceeds of books pre-ordered are going to free programing for those who otherwise could not attend because of financial reasons. This book is my way of being part of the solution, and creating free programming is another little step in the right direction. Order a book and be part of taking the next step to make a shift.
