A client was thinking she was returning to something safe and stable.

Through questions and dialogue that invokes honest reflection, something underneath surfaced …. Not excitement, not relief ….

But dread

Sometimes what we call responsibility is actually FEAR wearing a very convincing outfit !!

My work helps people reconnect with their inner knowing, with the place where their truth sits, so they can reclaim their dreams, realign with their agenda and stand in their YES to what their heart is calling them towards

Ask yourself if dread has been masquerading as the logical decision, the obligation, the sensible voice that tells you why you SHOULD be doing …. Make sure dread isn’t lurking around

Anyone relate? Drop me a comment below or just a 😨 if you know why I mean

The Bhagavad Gita doesn’t say one who achieves enlightenment is never lost

It doesn’t say one who never doubts is protected

It says: one who does good

That’s it. The doing. The sincere, repeated choosing.

Your practice doesn’t have to be perfect to count. Your healing doesn’t have to be complete to matter. You just have to keep turning toward what’s true, towards what’s good, towards what’s truly in your heart, even imperfectly. Especially imperfectly.

That effort is held. It accumulates. It is never lost.

This week’s Monday Message goes deep into this teaching from Bhagavad Gita 6.40.

Full video -> link in bio. 🎬

Tell me below 👇 what’s one effort you’ve been taking that you haven’t given yourself enough credit for? 🙏

The Gita says it plainly: one who does good is never truly lost.

Not “one who does it perfectly.”
Not “one who never doubts.”
Not “one who sees results.”

Just: one who does good.

That’s you.

This week’s Monday Message is a reminder that your efforts matter — even the ones you can’t see yet.

You’ve been showing up.
Practicing.
Trying.
Falling short.
Returning.
Maybe even “failing” or wha feels like it ….

And all of it — every single sincere effort — is held.

Your spiritual growth is not lost between the visible moments. It’s happening in the roots.

This week’s Monday Message is about trusting that. Trusting yourself. Trusting the path.

🎥 Watch the full video — link in bio.

Tell me ⬇️ below: what’s one effort you’ve been taking that you haven’t given yourself credit for? 🙏

What’s something that feels like you are failing at or failed at, and discounted all the goodness you accumulated in the process…. I know it’s hard to see past the “failure” but ask - what good growth did I get from this experience ?? What good did I do, even if it didn’t turn out the result I wanted … and know, thy good, is watering the roots of your growth and progress in the spiritual path and journey of growth!

Drop a comment, I’d love to hear about it 😍

A calm, grounded path from overwhelm to clarity and agency

Are you feeling mentally overloaded, stuck in indecision, or disconnected from your own inner clarity, despite knowing you want things to change?

This live workshop is a gentle reset.

Overwhelm isn’t a failure, it’s a signal.

The Overwhelm Reset is a 60-minute guided experience designed to help you calm your nervous system, quiet the internal noise, and reconnect with your capacity to move forward, without forcing, fixing, or hustling.

In this session, you’ll be introduced to a simple, supportive framework called PIT: Presence, Intention, and Traction.

Rather than pushing yourself harder, you’ll learn how to:
Understand why overwhelm happens (and why it’s not a personal failure)

Regulate your nervous system so clarity becomes accessible again

Reconnect with what actually matters in this season of your life

Identify one grounded, doable step that rebuilds self-trust and momentum

This workshop is for yoga students, teachers, healers, and purpose-driven people who are tired of feeling scattered, behind, or disconnected from their inner authority.

You don’t need the whole plan—just a place to pause, breathe, and begin again.

And it’s FREE!!!

Practice(focus) keeps you engaged Non-attachment keeps you free

Yoga Sutras 1.12 reminds us that steadiness comes from both showing up and letting go.

Not forcing Not controlling Not gripping

Just returning (again and again), and releasing

✨ This week’s Monday Message explores how to walk the path without clinging to outcomes

Save this for the days when you’re doing the work, but gripping the timeline 💛

Move forward with intention, and an openess to wherever it takes you 🩵

Always in love, love in all ways 🙏🏼

Yoga isn’t JUST about showing up.
It’s about showing up without gripping the outcome

The mind STEADIES through practice and non-attachment

What if you could care deeply…without needing to control how it unfolds?

This Monday messages is about a verse in the Yoga Sutras that speaks to the importance of :
Showing up fully while releasing the outcomes & timelines

Abhyāsa + Vairāgya�Practice + Letting Go

This is how steadiness grows.
And steadiness is a fundamental component that leads to the bigger goals of yoga.

And even if you aren’t reaching for the bigger goals of yoga - STEADINESS - is a true gift that will greatly benefit you in the way you navigate the journey that is your life

✨“As you believe, so you become” ✨
Yoga reminds us that reality isn’t only what happens :  it’s how we meet what happens

Our inner attitude — our bhāva — shapes how we interpret, respond, and move through life

Small shifts inside create meaningful shifts outside

This week, notice the tone you bring into your day
✨ Is it fear? ✨ Pressure? ✨ Trust? ✨ Curiosity?

Your mindset is not fixed
You get to choose your orientation to your circumstances, challenges, pursuits, relationships and even the global problems we are all watching unfold …

What’s the emotional tone - the vibrational flavor - you want to bring to your day, your week, your friendships, your conversations - pick a word to describe it and drop it in the comments below 👇

Save this as a reminder to check your inner tone this week 💛

Always in Love, love in All ways,

The world doesn’t just need more yoga teachers
It needs more light leaders
More people who are willing to grow To heal. To become space holders for inclusivity. To model courage. To live with purpose…. not performance.

Right now is not the time to shrink, wait, or stay on the sidelines of your own becoming.

Right now is the time to invest in your growth. In your voice. In your capacity to lead with heart.

Because our communities are hungry for role models. For grounded presence. For teachers who embody what they share.

This training isn’t just about learning how to teach yoga

It’s about becoming someone who can: ✨ hold space ✨ guide transformation ✨ live aligned with purpose ✨ and show up as an agent for good in the world

If you’ve felt the quiet nudge… The pull toward something more meaningful… The desire to make a real impact…
This is your invitation.
You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be willing.
To grow. To lead. To become.

Doors are open now - registration closes in 2 and a half weeks : Apply through the link in bio 🩵

Happy sweet 16 bud! I love you more than you could ever imagine

Wish you would let me take pictures of you like you used to!!!! 😜😜 (don’t have any currently that he will let me share, I’m on thin ice even sharing these)

It’s been amazing to watch you grow up and find your own way and path in life … from my little chess playing, kale eating, juice drinking yogi - to the 16 year old skater who loves being sassy, witty and sarcastic while reminding me every day you are taller and smarter then me !!! 😆😆😆

Love you my special Aquarius ( he rolls his eyes when I get all astrological with him!)

I hope you have many amazing adventures ahead, and I hope we get to do some of those adventures together !

Keep being you! Keep showing up to your dreams and carving out a path for yourself that you truly love !! And keep skating !!!!

And don’t forget, I believe in you, and I’m so proud of you 💗
