Can I ask you a question? When was the last time you ordered take-out? Opted for pre-cut veggies? Ordered online what you could have bought at the store? I did all of these things yesterday, so I'm not judging. But for all the benefits of these conveniences, we pay a price. According to...

The wonderful thing about movement is that there isn't only one way to move that is better than others. We were designed to move, and the opportunities are endless! As we explore this theme of MOVE, this month's invitation is to explore and find what feels great in your bones. Here's some of...

Wow, and here we are in March already! I can’t remember the exact quote for lambs and lions, but I am seeing the subtle signs of spring. I recently led a retreat in the Boulder area and became fully aware that spring is many months away for them. It’s one of the magnificent...

A Floating Head It’s been over 15 years, but I can still recall what I felt like before I started practicing yoga and mindfulness.  At Prasada, we talk a lot about the three worlds within which we live. For me, at that time, my primary mode of navigation and experience of life was through the...

Happy *almost* last month of the year to all of you. It feels like this year has been another roller coaster ride with new challenges and new learnings. One of the most valuable classes I have taken this year was a program I attended this past week with Adele Lafrance about emotion...

Last week I found myself in a bit of a funk. Some regular life frustrations, not feeling good for a day or so after a shingles vaccine, and falling into some entitlement thinking. It didn’t seem so bad at first, a small wobble. However, as time always reveals, small wobbles when unattended...

Real talk here….commitment to mindfulness practice isn’t always easy. Some days, I’d much rather zone out, numb out, and distract myself from whatever is at hand. Do you ever feel the same? But then I remember this beautiful closing line from the poem “The Summer Day” by Mary...
