Practicing yoga is a sacred act. Yoga has the power to transform our lives. Yoga also provides lessons for leadership. Our practice continues even after we leave our mats. The practice of yoga is part of a larger philosophy about the ways in which we live our lives.
A new year. A new moment to reflect. New chances. New lessons. New is good. But in the midst of our scurrying is a quiet, yet powerful energy. It reminds us that in our haste to shed away the last lingering touches of the year past, it is also time to honor the old [...]
Yoga has always been a part of my adult life. The holistic adventurer in me was drawn to the physical and spiritual benefits of yoga. There have been periods in my life when stepping onto my yoga mat was a daily ritual and others when I was lucky to engage my yoga practice once [...]
I had a vision. There were faces. Loving. Supportive, and strong faces encircling me as I sat in surrender and peace. Looking into the eyes of my Guides, I was reminded that I am supported and that my life has a great purpose. And with that acknowledgement, the vision faded.
