Getting in Touch With the Earth
60 Minutes • 58m
Sept. 7, 2021 - Yesterday Jane and I were driving and we wanted to stop and get some onions, so we stopped at a farm stand. As it turned out, the person running the stand was Molly, someone who graduated from our Yoga Teacher Training, which was cool. We started talking about what she was up to and she was saying after the farming season she was moving on to other fun adventures, and she was really getting the feeling like it was time for the season to end. She said she knew the season had another month to go, but that she was really having a sense of feeling a change coming on.
We talked a bit about that a bit, and recognized that it is the Earth telling her it is time to change. She is harvesting all of these veggies that are at the end of “their” season, trees are slowly changing color, and she has a job that totally connects to to the sensory input of the planet. She’s feeling the change of the planet and connected to that. I think that’s super cool, and something we all need.
Today in class we get connected to our senses, waking up our connection to our planet, so as we move through the day we are a bit more in touch with the Earth and what it is telling us. Enjoy!

Being with Yourself
August 3, 2021 - Maybe the thing I like most about practicing yoga is the experience of being present with myself. Noticing physical, mental and emotional sensations and changes. Recognizing how, even in a couple minutes, I go through a lot of thoughts and feelings. For some reason it just feels...

Let Go
July 26, 2021 - This weekend felt something like what a world beyond COVID would be like. I hung out with friends for a brunch, went with another friend to listen to some music, went for a motorcycle ride, and even did some kayaking — it was a great weekend!
It really felt like SUMMER, and findi...
