Everything in this world is made for our growth and evolution. Spring is the perfect season to witness Life all around us and - by seeing it - also to feel it bursting within us. All you have to do is step outside!

The summer after my brother died, all I seemed to be able to accomplish on any given day was watering my garden. Looking back, I see that something deep within me was learning the power of adjusting the aperture of my awareness. Keeping my metaphorical lens as small as possible helped me realize that – moment to moment – I was OK. Though I’m not experiencing anything like that awful loss currently, this same strategy of being here now is helping me to feel more settled and calm in the wake of the national and global chaos of the last months. What do you like to do when the bigger picture of your life feels like “too much?”

The summer my brother died, I learned the power of adjusting the aperture of my awareness . Keeping my “lens” small held me in the peace of the present moment.

I’ve always been in awe of people who can fix things and make things. Until this week, assembling IKEA shelves were the extent of my handy-ness. But now I know how to use an orbital sander and – it surprises me as much as I bet it will surprise you – I now have a brand new mindfulness practice to help hold my mind in the present moment.

Until this week IKEA shelves were the extent of my handy-ness. But now I know how to use an orbital sander and have new practice to help me stay in the moment.

Is it unfair that my husband feels in the prime of his life while I’m creaking around in an unfamiliar and ancient body? Heck yes. But upon reflection, I’ll take it. My body might at times feel like it’s 90, but inside I feel 35 – ready to learn, ready to share, ready to soak up the joys of life that are always sparkling within “the rest of it” – and that is really all that matters.

In the face of the hugeness and mystery of the Grand Canyon, I experienced the relief of surrendering to the unknown. Can I learn to receive my real-life moments “at the edge” with even a smidge of the wonder and awe that I felt on the edge of the Grand Canyon? I really hope so.

My first real trip was a sprint through Europe when I was 16. I’ve learned over time that a more leisurely pace allows my travels to change me even more. I’ve found the same to be even more true in my spiritual journeying. The one sure way to insure that you miss life’s meaningful moments is to race through it to get to whatever’s next.

At a dear friend’s funeral, listening to the remembrances made me realize both how much I didn’t know about her and how very many people she had impacted through her relatively quiet life. What if – on days when we’re feeling small and a little insignificant – we could remember this? That we matter? That the world is a better place because we’re in it? That would be a wonderful way to honor my friend’s life.

At a friend’s funeral so many people were heartbroken over her loss. When you’re feeling a little insignificant try to remember how much you matter to so many

Sometimes, in the face of it all, it can seem kind of ridiculous to think that stepping on my yoga mat or sitting down to journal or pray is even worth it. But it is. It really is. Every time we nurture the good and hopeful in our own heart, we add to the good and hopeful in the world. And that is a very good and very meaningful and very important thing indeed.

The Christian season of Lent began this week. Rather than taking on a discipline or giving something up, this year I am feeling called to spend these 40-days pondering mortality – others’ and my own. While that might strike you as bleak, I believe this is a way to stay mindful of the fleetingness, fragility, and preciousness of life. A heightened awareness of this can make living a sweeter and more tender experience.

Lent can be a season to ponder our mortality. Rather than being bleak, living with an awareness of death can make life a sweeter and tenderer experience.

I hate messing up. I hate it even more when I “get caught” making a mistake. I hate it most of all when my mistakes splash on others. Yet making mistakes seems to be an essential part of the human journey. In fact, mistakes are not obstacles on our journey to becoming good people. They ARE the journey to becoming better people.

Wow. The news lately is literally leaving me with an eye twitch. I don’t know why the human mind allows the negative to overshadow the positive, but it does. Especially in times like these last couple of weeks, it is important for us to cultivate the habit of paying attention to even the tiniest good things in our lives. Doing so gives us the resilience to put our best foot forward no matter what is going on in the world around us.

For some reason the human mind allows the negative to overshadow the positive. Cultivating the habit of paying attention to the good stuff is a survival skill.

My daughter planned a ski weekend for her birthday and we were thrilled to be invited. Yet I wimped out and chose not to go skiing. When I made my choice, I thought my fear of falling and hurting myself was keeping me safe – but it was really holding me back. Now that I understand this, I have to figure out how to choose differently next time - to make a life-filled rather than a fear-filled choice.

Our Story

At Yoga With Spirit, we believe yoga is a spiritual practice, giving you the tools to live a more peaceful, contented, meaningful life both on and off the mat. That’s one of the reasons we started our “Yoga Thoughts” blog because we wanted to give you advice and wisdom that you can use in your daily life.

Our vigorous, flowing classes allow you to strengthen and tone your body while you calm and quiet your mind. And our Yoga Thoughts blog offers weekly insights into all aspects of yoga practice.

We offer two yoga videos (a free 20-minute class and a 1-hour for just $10) on our website to support your home practice. For all yogis and yoga teachers, we offer an Online Yoga Philosophy Class to help you take your practice off your mat and into your life.

Yoga Class Schedule: Monday 9-10:15 am and 7-8pm, Tuesday 6:00-7:00pm, Wednesday 6:00-7:00am and 8:30-9:30am, Friday 9-10am, Saturday 9-10:15am.
