GO GET IT, whatever it takes…

How do we ease anxiety and rise out of depression? We do so by choosing to do whatever it takes to inspire our own healing and recovery. Maybe we need to breathe differently. Delve deeper into mindfulness. Check out meditation. Move differently; yoga, walk, run, bike, hike, Qigong, take up Kung Fu, Salsa Dance, play […]

An extra special Mother’s Day…

IN THE CASE OF MENTAL HEALTH OR ADDICTIONS EMERGENCY/CRISIS: If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or addiction crisis and requires emergency assistance, CALL 9-1-1 OR GO TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL.  It’s Mother’s Day today and I am feeling so, so grateful. I woke in one of my very favorite places on earth […]

Sunshine, blue skies, fresh air, healing and recovery…

When the sun shines and blue skies prevail I am irresistibly compelled to breathe and be outside. And being that the water temp is still on the chilly side for a date with my stand up paddleboard (SUP) today I opted for a walk in my new neighborhood. Everybody was out and about; walking, running, biking, playing, […]

Healing one relationship at a time…

I had the opportunity to spend an extra-special day with my Mother at The Yoga Conference & Show in a day long retreat with two of my fave Yogis, Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee (still sublimely zened out!). What made it so significant is that my Mom and I have been through the ringer this […]

Falling into the ebb and flow of change…

“Nothing ever comes to rest. Everything keeps moving. Even stationary objects are moving, though we do not see it. Change is constant and that means we are not the same from one moment to another either. Our cells are constantly in the process of changing. So if I am moving through a tough situation, there is […]

Learning to be and breathe in “The Gap”

To say that I received the greatest care imaginable during my hospital stay would be an understatement. From Intake Counselors, to Nurses, to Psychiatrists, to Social Workers, to Occupational Therapists, to fellow patients, I was cared for with kindness, compassion, non-judgement, and respect. The value in this alone, particularly when one is in such a […]

Conversations with myself, about myself.

This morning I literally had to force myself to get on my mat to practice. Mind, heart, and body felt heavy and I could feel the tears pricking, which eventually resulted in a torrential downpour. One of the things I have been learning to do, of late, is give myself permission to cry. In doing so, […]

They say a picture speaks a thousand words…

…or does it? This picture was taken on November 30th, 2017, my birthday. I had just finished teaching class (truly one of my most joyful places to be; being of service and sharing yoga) and was being celebrated in the Birthday Chair, amongst my dear friends and yoga community. I was smiling, laughing, and for all intents and purposes having a blast!!! […]
