~Hello~
I hope this finds you safe and well.

As a reminder: I will be taking a hiatus from teaching my weekly yoga & meditation classes (starting immediately)*.


I will be continuing to provide 1:1 Life Coaching as well as my Weekly Meditation & Coaching Group.

>> If you are interested in working with me as a Coach, please know that my summer schedule is full but I will be on boarding new clients in the Fall - please email me directly to get on my waitlist. 

>> If you are interested in working with me via a Weekly Meditation & Coaching Group, please email me for more info and to sign up - my first group is full but I am starting a list for a second group. More info/details below.


>> If you are interested in purchasing any of my RECORDED yoga classes please let me know. I will be editing them to be sold individually or as a package and will let you know the details if you'd like.

What do you focus on? What is the habit of your attention?

Do you see only the light?

Do you see only the dark?

Do you see only the space between the form or only the form?

Seeing the truth means seeing all of it - the light and the dark, the space and the form. Holding all, together, simultaneously.

Our perception isn’t chosen consciously. It’s chosen for us in the form of our conditioning... karma... epigenetic material. It becomes our unconscious & subconscious wiring that filters (in quite predictable ways) our view of reality - if ourselves, of our relationships, of others.

But though it is uniquely ours, our personal conditioned material also has a backdrop of unifying Awareness, Consciousness, that is shared and not at all personal. That which sees and holds all, together, simultaneously.

It is in this space that we first become aware of the habit of our attention, of what we unconsciously choose to see or not see. We begin to wake up to the depth of our human conditioning and how much suffering it has caused.

And that’s a painful spot to sit. But it’s also the most Grace-Full place to sit because even for a moment, one can experience complete acceptance. And it all falls away - the who, the what, the why.

It is precisely in this space that the unlearning, the unwiring, the un-conditioning, the unDOing, the un-filtering occurs. And the freedom enters.

Freedom is liberation from the false stories, the attachment to identities, the fixation on control. Freedom exists in seeing and being in relationship to what is.... the light and the dark and the space and the form.

What do want to focus on? Where would you wish to place your attention? How much do you wish you experience yourself differently?
