No yoga asana here. Or even bare feet- I’m wearing a pair of unpictured Doc Martens here because sometimes a lil heel drop and squeezed toes make the ‘fit - and let me tell you a woman my age, so often caring for the needs of others needs to simply feel beautiful sometimes. It’s the most powerful healing thing we can do for ourselves, to simply feel good in our skin.
Bringing a more personal element to this account. I love this photo partly bc I don’t don anything outside or pajamas or yoga sets very often, but mostly bc my 7yo daughter took it.
I used to keep this account very professional, I had a distinct vision for something I was building and it was much, much bigger than me. How egoic.
But after many years, and repeated burnout, even though the Grounded Yoga program was working as intended with those I shared it with in community, my personal capacity is not able to continue pursuing it.
I’ve found I can be far more impactful as a present mother, wife, and friend. I’m more impactful when I can attain a state of rested play. Hustle culture sucked me in again and again and my body keeps resisting. It’s time to step out of the karmic loop, I hope this time to never return.
Those who are still here after years of following to learn more about grounding, thank you. I’ll still include these elements here. Grounded Yoga is alive and stronger than ever, serving me as always to heal, adapt, and evolve. I’m on the tail end of a health nightmare, one I am grateful to have experienced as the lessons have been profound and realigning. But it’s confusing in terms of how to present here, I’m no longer trying to build something bigger than me.
Now forward, just a simple creative outlet sharing my personal Grounded Yoga journey.
The vlog is growing and active, and the blog is just getting rolling.
I’m not some great educator or fuel for any global wellness movement as I once deeply felt I was.
My newly unearthed truth is that I’m simply a woman on a healing journey, sharing her story. Follow, or don’t. Take inspo, apply my shared wellness practices, or don’t.
I’m simply here to exist, to romance my day to day in presence and play with nature and community.
