LOVE PREACHER. TRUTH SPEAKER. LAMP HOLDER.

I think of myself not as the light but as the vessel that holds the flame — and just like a candle light thousand others without diminishing itself, it is my calling in this world to light you up so that you can light up others.

I show seekers, dreamers, and doers the power they already have through the practices of living in alignment with nature and one's true nature through yoga, indigenous practices and the spiritual path of your own heart.

 I help individuals bring light to their lives, and I fearlessly support others to shine that light out into the reaches of the world.

LOVE A LITTLE HARDER

SPEAK A LITTLE TRUER

SHINE A LITTLE BRIGHTER

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead . . Love these two beautiful yoga teachers and powerful women.... and all the others who joined our yoga collective yesterday as we explored the "promise of yoga" and how we are all "fire keepers" in our own, unique ways... Self-care, Self-trust, clear voice, and holding an open-hearted space for yoga students everywhere to realize that well-being is within the realm of possibility and that with awareness and presence, we are holding sacred space for great things.... what a beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon🙏🏻❤ #holdsacresspace #yoga #pilgrimoflight #yogateacher #yogacollective #liveyouryoga #practiceyogaeveryday #firekeeper
We are each so very different. . I caught myself looking at these eggs – (one of the many fine donations I get for teaching a community yoga class at the YogaFarm). . I can't help but think why we can honor and have such reverence and joy in celebrating difference when we look at these pretty little eggs – but when we look at the way each individual assimilates information, shows up in the world, expresses love and emotes..... all of a sudden, there's a whole lotta right and wrong… Too much and not enough… Acceptable and unacceptable… and the "just right"'point is not static -- it's like water..... moving, shifting and changing -- always. . You can be beautiful – but don't attract too much attention. . You can dress gorgeously – but there's a fine line between gorgeous and "you know what". . You can be smart – but not so smart that I lose influence. . I am doing some deep study lately --- and I'm holding sacred vigil for the good the bad and the ugly -- and I'm reaching in and reaching out (to you) and inviting you to look within and see where your own edges are..... and sense what it might be like -- the next time you felt like you were "too much" or "not enough" if someone expanded the boundaries of acceptability and invited in your "everything".... ??? How would that be? And how might you do that for someone else. 🙏🏻❤ Happy Friday, dear ones. ... #liveyouryoga #om #yogalookslikethis #sankalpa #livewithintention #divineyourlife #spirituality #onewithall #manifest #supersoulsunday #mindful #liveinthelight #getoffyourasana #thisisyogatoo #practiceyogaeveryday #mondaymorninginspiration #mindfulness #doitdifferently #consciousliving #godeepandgoOM #divineyourlife #walkwithme #pilgrimoflight #108dayyogi #108daypilgrim
Slowly. Slowly. . Slowly I watch the mind buzz around the ten million things that "need" (really?) to get done. Slowly. I inhale and feel the storm -- listening to the rain.... and the rhythms of it ALL. . Slowly. I identify the little things -- like this handmade mug I found at a secondhand store for a friend.... I tried to send it home with her many times and she would smile and tell me "but it lives at your house". . Slowly. I honor the busy and the buzz and not become it because I am not that and it is not me. . I am this: Free. Alive. In love. ... Slowly. Slowly. Gentle. Yes. This. 🙏🏻❤ #listenup #thisisyogatoo #liveyouryoga #restandreflect #altaryourconsciousness #divineyourlife
What if I told you I didn't leave the house for three days and barely ate anything except dark chocolate and fruit? And what if I told you I only got four hours of sleep each of the last few nights? And that none of this was on purpose but it was right? How do I know? Because I can see it in my eyes, and my skin, and on my lips. I can see the balance in this up-close-and-personal shot as it reveals a sense of oneness--from the inside out. Sweet peeps.... We've got to stop doing things because somebody said to someone else that it was "good for you".... we've got to listen to the language of our bodies and learn to take time and say "yes". So, why the selfie???? It's a habit of mine, actually -- I just don't do it for social media's sake -- it's my own medical experiment. I have this history of looking at a photo of myself and immediately stalking myself -- my diet, my hormones, my stress levels, my hydration, my internal "climate", my work load.... Ayurveda has taught me that this is key in getting and staying clear with myself --- bc if what I've got going on isn't clear, neither will be what I'm putting out.... . . So here's the nectar: whenever you can..... sauna, fast, cry, laugh, make love--even if (especially if) you don't have a partner, sigh on every exhale for one hour straight, bow your head in gratitude, tell yourself your deepest secret and forgive yourself, surround yourself with music, candles, and dark chocolate. Read and listen to sages and teachers and meditations that leave you speechless. . . Krishna Murti, maybe, was the one who said it.... "to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick world is no measure of health"...... Just saying. 🙏🏻❤ #livewithintention #areyouhidingbehindafakensmile #liveyouryoga #getoffyourasana #purifyyourvessel #myreligionislove #thisisyogatoo #upcloseandpersonal
We sat for two hours and distilled it down to this :: 1. Define your role -- what is your "sacred job"? 2. What gives you goosebumps? Brings you to tears? Sends a chill up your spine? 3. Embody ONE thing --- to awaken your highest service, ignite your flame... and do it every single day -- 🙏🏻❤ Know thyself. Show thyself. Be thyself. FIRE KEEPERS:::: Alignment, personal power and potency are the same across the board -- So..... if you are a Yoga Teacher in the #pnw -- we are doing it again. This Sunday -- We come together as "Fire Keepers" of yoga and our personal authenticity.... to simultaneously stand in our power and our vulnerability.... 🔥❤ It's all here: http://bit.ly/2mHnAVC Come if you are called. #yoga #portlandyoga #firekeeper #impact #yogateacher #pdxyogascene
The quote that keeps running through my head...... . . "If a man knew what a woman never forgets, he would treat her differently." - Terry Tempest Williams . . #awakenings #myreligionislove
"Surround yourself with those who are seeking the truth. Run like hell from anyone who has claimed to have found it." . . In the early morning, I sit quietly in the dark hour. I ponder one word:: TRUTH:: And how that which I "find to be " true reveals itself to me -- I used to think truth came in words or promises, contracts and agreements... -- now I know in my bones it is found in nature, on the wind, and in that which catches my breath, sends a chill up my spine, stops me in my tracks, brings tears to my eyes and gives me goosebumps.... . I have found that Truth cannot be proven, nor disproven... and it need not be -- for ultimately it is the only thing that will remain when all that is NOT true falls away. Truth just is. . . 🙏🏻❤🕸❤🙏🏻 . . morninginspiration #truthis #truthjustis #supersoulsunday #walkwithme #truthbomb #liveyouryoga #thisisyogatoo #yogachurch #awakenings
