What legacy do you want to leave behind?
What legacy do you want to leave behind? I want to leave behind a legacy that shows how deeply important mutual care is. A legacy that proves that there is a better way to care for ourselves and for others. A legacy that invites profound honesty and radical compassion. One that models accountability, responsibility and repair.

Welcome to the Apocalypse
The invitation is to intentionally and actively engage in your own unlearning. To unravel and deconstruct systems and their impact on each of us. To step into a new truth, one that provides resources for all.

Wake up and take the wheel
Do the work to get resourced. Practice self-care. Rest when you need to. But, it can't stop there. Find a teacher, a therapist, a mentor, a coach and dive into the work of untangling the traumas, beliefs, ideas, prejudices and attitudes that are harmful to yourself and others. We cannot simply point our fingers at everyone else. It starts with me. It starts with you.

Can you sit in the tension of this moment?
The question I am attempting to address here is how we can create resilience and build our body’s capacity to adapt to these changes and manage these big and often uncomfortable emotions without falling apart.

Build resilience to change
We can use the tools of both yoga and ayurveda to support the digestive process by stoking the flame of agni that is often times represented as living at the solar plexus. Agni governs our metabolism, digestion, absorption and assimilation and its job is to turn our food into energy and bodily tissue.

It's ok...AND
Yoga provides us with valuable tools and resources to build resilience. As you begin to nurture and heal the Annamaya Kosha the other layers of the body will also be impacted. You will be better equipped to deal with these uncertain times. Better able to cope with the myriad of emotions that arise.
