Adventure

This week has brought more work than I’ve had in months and so preparing for a trip to the Sahara desert for the Fisahara film festival has been challenging and squeezed around deadlines and the odd snatched yoga class. All I have done for over a week now has been write, record, eat and sleep. […]

Precision

I’m working my way through an incredibly illuminating book by Danielle La Porte, The Desire Map and have arrived at the bit when I have to choose my core desired feelings. These feelings are the result of honing down, in the main 5 areas of your life, the feelings you wish to feel. The absolute […]

The Bigger Picture

This week I have struggled with focusing on the bigger picture. Things have hit fast and furious and reactions and emotions have been high. Just last night I was reminded of something my brother Robbie had told me, that one should imagine circles going out from the heart. The closest circles to your heart are […]

Breaking Habits

I’m teaching a 6 week movement class at the moment and in preparation for each class am reading massive amounts on movement and all sorts. I was reading about how challenging it can be for a student to start moving in a different way than they are used to; especially when in my case, some […]

Belief

Belief is on my vision board for this year. It’s one of my themes along with courage and faith. This week I have had several reminders, prompts from friends, from circumstances shifting and such regarding belief and my struggle sometimes to hold onto it. A part of the yoga philosophy is to start each practice […]

Soft

I saw a photo of a flower blooming last year on someones Facebook feed and the caption across it was You can’t rush the blossoming of a flower, it blooms when it blooms. It really resonated with me and this week came into my mind on several occasions when things that I had ben pushing […]

The Best is Yet to come

Letting go is something that Johanna and I have talked at at length throughout the past 2 years. Its an oft mentioned thing one should try to do at all costs. For me it has on occasion seemed elusive though, what does that actually mean? Surely its not simply a question of sitting on the […]

Joie de vivre

My grandmother turned 92 this week and we took a boat across the Pacific for an hour to Catalina Island and immediately leapt into a golf cart and zipped up and down the canyons. I didn’t think to ask the rental people if there was a height restriction with the carts. So it wasn’t until […]

Strength

This week temperatures have soared in LA. Living without AC and sweltering my way through nights and days as I record an audio book in a studio in the Valley without AC or even a fan (too noisy) I have been fractious. I am also in a wild work period without a moment to spare […]

Listening

6 weeks into my sejourn of listening to my heart and this week some serious breakthroughs happened. Its amazing to think of how many layers I had to get through first to get really quiet and clear with my own self until I can now feel I’m making some headway. Yesterday was thinking about how […]
