I have been moving through a season of slow. Perhaps, the slowest I have ever allowed myself to move before.

This has looked like physically moving my body slower. Slow short walks. Slow, gentle and juicy yoga practice. No more, no less.

We have grown up in an extremely convenient world, where anything you want is at your fingertips with little to no wait time in between. In many ways, this can be an enhancement of our lives. In the vast majority of instances, it is detrimental to our well being -  mind, body and soul. 

There’s much to be said about allowing ourselves to dream. Allowing ourselves to bask in the light that begins to shine through in the shadows of the void.

When we make a decision to step into something new or to embark on a new wellness path, we are inspired and full of motivation and vigor.

I have just celebrated my birthday and I was taking some time for reflection and it got me thinking about the past year of my life, and all of our lives. There has been a lot of shift and change and for me personally it has been a massive year of growth and evolution.

I think the terms wellness and well-being are very subjective and very personal for each individual. And there really is no right all wrong, it is just about being really in-tune with your body and what it needs in any given moment.

What are energetic boundaries? In a nutshell, they are practices we perform to ensure we are not taking on energy or ‘stuff’ that is not ours.

When it comes to achieving your goals, chasing your dreams, and going after all that you desire, have you been pushing, chasing, and fearlessly pursuing it?

How comfortable are you with being ‘different’, being out of the box, or being outside of what societal norms have you believe is the ‘right’ way of being?

This photo was taken a few hours before it happened. I was just wrapping up a blissful weekend away with my family at the beach. It was perfect.

Something that has presented itself to me over and over through what I’ve read, come across and been told lately is this - stop trying so hard.

The affectionate name for the past version of myself. You will read more about her in my book, Life in the Soul Lane.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it time and time again that I am so grateful for the opportunity to share the gift of yoga with others.

What you do each day, each week, month, year.

What you do in each moment matters.

In our fast-paced, overly connected modern world, it is easy to be swept up in what is happening around us, and allow other energies to permeate our own.

What if you moved a little slower?

What if you found yourself in this exact moment right now?

In all its glory and imperfection

“Your body is art” is what kept flowing through my awareness as I was flowing on my yoga mat the other day.

Have you ever thought that by a certain age/time/achievement you’d have it “all figured out”?
