A path leads to a destination, right? If I get on the path it’s so that I will eventually reach a place. Like Nirvana or Heaven or a peace-filled mind and heart. Last night my friend said, “I just want to get through all of this and finish.” She, and most people I know, want […]

On Ahimsa
Yoga is more than a workout. It’s an 8 limbed philosophy that lays over all cultural and religious belief systems. It doesn’t matter your nationality, your race, your economic situation, the 8 limbed path is for all people. One of the 8 limbs is the Yamas, a set of principles that when practiced allow the […]
On the Deconstruction of the Self

#NewYearNewYou
It’s that time of year again. Time to reflect on last year and make some choices about what we want out of this year. There are two camps when it comes to #NewYearNewYou There’s the goal setting, vision board making, strategic focused camp and the why-bother-with-stupid-new-year-resolutions-no-one-sticks-to-them-anyway camp. I am firmly in the latter camp. That […]
Rebirth
The whole earth shakes off the doldrums of winter and become alive again.
