Year of the fire horse energy is bold, untamed, passionate, forward-moving and Yoga Nidra is receptive, grounding, integrating, steady.
A sacred polarity- fire is the activation, rest is the integration. The horse runs , the Earth receives.

In a world that moves quickly and asks so much, choosing to tend your own heart is not selfish—it is sacred.

Today, may you soften.
May you speak to yourself with kindness

02/03/2026

In a world that feels loud, fractured, and overwhelming. Keeping the heart open in times like these doesn’t mean bypassing reality or forcing positivity—it means tending ourselves well enough that we don’t harden.

Our Open Your Heart workshop Sat Feb 7th 5-7pm in Redondo Beach becomes a quiet act of resistance against numbness. A way to stay soft, compassionate, and connected—even when the world feels chaotic.

This is the quiet work of rest
Not fixing.
Not forcing.
But returning to yourself often enough that clarity, care, and calm can rise naturally.

If you’re feeling tired, stretched, or resistant to slowing down, nothing has gone wrong. That resistance is often the doorway. And rest—when practiced with gentleness and consistency—becomes a way home.

This Is Your Permission Slip to Rest 🛌
As we closed our 21 Days of Rest with Yoga Nidra on Sunday, I’ve been sitting with what has quietly emerged—not big declarations or dramatic shifts, but honest realizations about rest, permission, and self-trust.

I’ll be offering Open Your Heart: Sacred Self-Care for the Month of Love at Harmony Yoga Redondo Beach on February 7th at 5-7pm —a spacious, nourishing workshop of restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra for anyone longing to soften, rest, and reconnect.

[THREE] The Triple Goddess, 1980, by Susan Seddon Boulet.

Susan: “Three has been important for me always. I think three for me is balance . . . you know, if I arrange something I’ll always arrange three things instead of two because it just looks better. So I think that my internal balance is three.”

The number three has long been important for divinities and in religion: Ancient Egypt had several divine triads, including Osiris, Isis and Horus; in Christianity there’s the Father, Son and Holy ghost; the Norse have the three Norns, spinners of fate analogous to the Greek Moirai (Moerae); in Buddhism there’s the Triple Jewel (triratna) of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha; Hinduism has Brahmā, Vishnu and Shiva (the creator, preserver and destroyer).

The Triple Goddess consists of 3 aspects of the Great Goddess, often represented by maiden, mother and crone (wise woman). This is perhaps the original trinity. The Great Goddess is associated with the moon and the Triple Goddess represents three phases of the moon: waxing, full, waning.
