  • Finding Delight through Letting Go of Pushing and Pulling in our Practice

    One of my students mentioned when we have those fleeting moments of release and freedom in our practice it feels like an orgasm. YES! I said.

    It is similar.

    Our practice allows us to experience what it feels like to let go of control; imposing.

    Have a listen to this episode to reflect more upon the necessity to explore with curiosity our body and breath.

    May it inspire you and create delight in your life.

  • Why Practice is Important - From Thinking to Feeling

    We in these modern times are almost completely living in our heads. We identify with our thoughts and have forgotten how to feel. With practice we can remember the wisdom of the body. We can return to a natural rhythm instead of spinning out or burning out or feeling overwhelmed.

    With feeling comes balance.

    It does take time.

    It does take practice.

    But anyone can learn.
