Last season, in alignment with the Spring Equinox, we made a conscious decision to center Love, a rebirthing as Love I dubbed it. I started to write this blog post back then but never finished it. Lucky world, I am feeling called to shout it even louder now. After Love’s most recent publicity via the
The other morning while doing my yoga set, my mind found an interesting perspective. (Thank you, yoga.) For the past few weeks I have been doing a specific yoga set, a Kriya in Kundalini Yoga parlance, called the Pituitary Gland Series. It’s a series of about 10 different poses or asanas.

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the Vernal Equinox is upon us. Vernal, meaning Spring, but also fresh, new and youthful, aligns perfectly with what is unfolding within us and all around. For those of us living just the right distance from the equator, life is beginning to awaken in its many forms. Green

My only previous religion-related confrontations being with my father or mother who were trying to get me out of bed early on a Sunday morning to go to church.

If you’ve taken one of my classes, or if you know me at all, you’ve probably heard the words “Divine Feminine” echoing out of my mouth on many an occasion. Perhaps you are starting to hear her referred to by others or even noticing your own curiosity about what she has to do with you. Don’t worry, this is to
Is it cliché to talk about Gratitude around Thanksgiving? No, well yes, but I’ll try to make it thought provoking. (Smile.) Many of us are probably already aware, without a tremendous need for scientific evidence, of the benefits of gratitude. Whether we are consciously aware of it or not, we do feel better when we
