Attracting The Friendships You Deserve
by guest blogger Victoria Schon, holistic health & sound practitioner Healthy friendships have become extremely important to me. Like all of us, I’ve had some good friendships, and I’ve had some toxic friendships. Each relationship taught me a lot. Especially the strenuous ones. And over the years, I learned to set boundaries and I learned Read more about Attracting The Friendships You Deserve[…]
Pose of the Month: Reverse Plank – Purvottanasana
June is all about trust! What that focus means to you, will be part of your journey. Trust is defined as, “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.” Within the journey of yoga, there are so many places to both explore trust and to build trust. One such way Read more about Pose of the Month: Reverse Plank – Purvottanasana[…]
Pranayama: Breath Retention
Today is our last day focusing on discipline, and we are going to go out with some gusto 🙂 June will be moving our way into Trust, so our work into breath retention is a beautiful transition. We spend a lot of time, and rightfully so, on the inhales and exhales. They are crucial first Read more about Pranayama: Breath Retention[…]
Meditation on Forgiveness
There is so much in yoga that is wrapped up in the concept of discipline. Part of the training of the mind and the body asks that we devote ourselves to the practice.

Yoga Philosophy: 4th Chakra – Anahata
You may ask yourself, what does my heart chakra have to do with discipline. Many of us like to imagine our hearts as being softer places, or are working in that direction. I think that the work it takes to keep an open heart, and to keep this space open and available to others take Read more about Yoga Philosophy: 4th Chakra – Anahata[…]
Pose of the Month: Lizard, Utthan Pristhasana
Welcome to our month of discipline. And when we discuss discipline we do not mean correcting behavior through punishment, rather “activity or experience that provides mental or physical training.” When we look through so many aspects of yoga, they bring us back to this concept of discipline. The notion of Tapas, within the limb of Read more about Pose of the Month: Lizard, Utthan Pristhasana[…]
Yoga Philosophy: 3rd Chakra – Manipura
This month, we are moving up the wheels of energy in the body, and much like our exploration of authenticity getting a little deeper, and a little more involved. The third chakra is located somewhere near the navel, and is thought of as the place where we create heat and fire to burn away that Read more about Yoga Philosophy: 3rd Chakra – Manipura[…]
Yoga Philosophy – The True Self
When exploring authenticity in yoga, it is challenging (at times) to not think… WHAT? 😉 and other times to think… of course! As the Bhagavad Gita says: “Yoga is the journey of the self through the self to the self.” Yoga Sutra 1.3 “Then the seer becomes established in their true nature.” This statement follows Read more about Yoga Philosophy – The True Self[…]
Pose of the Month: Navasana – Boat Pose
This month we are wading our way into Authenticity. We will be looking at authenticity through the lens of “representing one’s true nature or beliefs; true to oneself or to the person identified.” Finding (or reconnecting with) and being our authentic self are one of the main drivers of the practice of yoga, and what Read more about Pose of the Month: Navasana – Boat Pose[…]
Continuing Resilience with Ayurvedic Tea
A huge part of maintaining our focus on a space of Resilience, and cultivating that growth space for ourselves, is making sure that we are restoring, detoxing, taking a step back to once again check in on that self-care element. Ayurveda in Sanskrit translates to “the Science of Life” and from this space we look Read more about Continuing Resilience with Ayurvedic Tea[…]
