✨ Happy New Year friends and yogis ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As this decade comes to a close, I think about where I was ten years ago. I was a sophomore in high school, unbelievably lost and experiencing a deep depression. It was at this time that I was first introduced to yoga, meditation and Buddhism. This period was the catalyst for everything to come, from my travels to meeting my partner to moving abroad to getting my degree to my yoga teacher training. It’s almost dizzying to think of everything that has happened and everything I’ve learned over the past ten years. Taking it all in I realize that it’s been an intense ten years of discovery and self-discovery. This past year in particular brought me personal growth, freedom and moments of joy. It brought me back to Paris and back into the transformative fire of “tapas”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As we move into this new year and new decade, I invite you to take a moment to reflect on where you were ten years ago. Reflect on what you have accomplished and what you have learned in this time. As you turn inward, I invite you to hold the whole of yourself and your experiences with compassion. In doing so, we invite gratitude, kindness and perspective into the new year and the new decade 🙏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wish you all and rich and meaningful year to come 💕

Living out my childhood dream of being Ariel from The Little Mermaid 🧜‍♀️

Over the past couple of months conversation around boundary setting has come up again and again with friends and family. Setting boundaries is hard, there’s no doubt about it. When we set boundaries we open ourselves up to the possibility of judgement, rejection and confrontation. But it means that we have a sense of self-worth, know our value and trust ourselves to make the right decision in a given situation. Boundary setting is necessary, deeply important and empowering 💪🏼

Keep cool this summer 🌬 Read the below article on a cooling pranayama/breath work technique called Sheetali. Article in French (pour mes amis francophones) with a video in English at the bottom (for my English-speaking friends). Practicing Sheetali regulates body temperature, balances, and calms the mind and body. Happy summer 🌞

🌞 Happy Summer Solstice and International Day of Yoga 🌞
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Summer is upon us, and with it comes warmer temperatures, longer days, increased activity, both physical and social, and a jam-packed calendar. This energy can be equally empowering and expansive or overwhelming and draining. The long-held postures of a restorative practice can balance the intense fiery-solar-summer energy and welcome some much needed grounding, calming and cooling. In this week’s classes we’re harnessing the solar energy with a strong practice, followed by a deeply restful restorative practice. Happy summer everyone!

Do you struggle to let go of work and your never ending to-do list? 💻⏰📑
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more people I talk to about work and rest, the more I realize how common it is to struggle with leaving work at the door, disconnecting and choosing rest in our “twenty-four/seven, always-on world,” as Alex Soojung-Kim Pang puts it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With overwhelming anxiety these last couple of weeks, I am learning more about how to set boundaries between work and rest, and about the benefits of deep, active rest. Learning how to rest deliberately is a skill to cultivate. A skill just like any other that takes practice, practice and more practice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📖 Soojung-Kim Pang’s thought provoking book Rest will have you reflecting on your work and rest habits. Do you struggle to find balance between the two? How do you rest? Share below!
