Have Yoga, Will Travel
Travel and yoga go together like summer and lemonade. When I travel, I take advantage of new studios and new locations. For example, I just returned home from Turks and Caicos. I researched the local yoga studio and thought I knew where I was going. Alas, I got lost. I arrived too late to attend class and found myself peering through the window longingly. Then, I chuckled. Here I was on the most gorgeous beach in the world and trying to do yoga inside. I took myself out to the beach and did savasana in the buoyant as a sea otter and balanced in Warrior three with waves crashing around me like Daniel in the original Karate Kid.
I am no stranger to mental fatigue
May is Mental Health Month. During the month of May, yours may be one of the corporations I visit to teach how yoga can help depression.

Heavily Meditated and Thankful
Is successful meditation a perfectly still mind? Perhaps not… I successfully meditate when I observe my thoughts in the moment and decide to be kind, instead of flying into a rage. I shamelessly admit that my mind still wanders from thought to thought like a wayward, curious child, when I meditate. The elegant meditation byproduct that I have created at 50, with over 20 years of meditation practice, is a robust self-compassion and the ability to disarm my inner critic. I speak directly to the critic and thwart the negative chatter.
