Healing Through Surrender

There’s a funny thing about surrender… it’s often the lesson we resist the most, yet it’s the one we need the most. Surrender is not something that comes easily to most of us, especially when life throws us challenges that we don’t feel ready for.

What Are You Holding Onto?

If you’ve been practicing and following along with me, you know we’ve been working through heart-opening postures this month. But opening the heart isn’t just about deep backbends—it’s about letting go, trusting, softening the grip we so often hold on life.

Finding Your Inner Drive When Motivation is Low

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or just plain meh, you’re not alone. The urge to hunker down under eight blankets and mindlessly scroll is real. But here’s the thing—how we spend our energy matters.

The Power in Showing Up

Think of your practice like tending a fire (agni). If you let it burn too hot, it can quickly burn out. If you neglect it, the flames weaken, and you’re left with only embers. But if you tend to it daily, feeding it with care, it provides steady warmth and light.

Igniting Our Inner Fire

This month, we’re diving into a blend of Yoga and Ayurveda, focusing on agni—our inner transformative fire—and how we can stoke and sustain it through practice. Agni (pronounced “aug-nee”) is a fundamental concept in Ayurveda and Yoga, referring to the fire within us. While it’s often associated with digestion—the process of transforming food into energy—agni governs so much more.
