Back in Practice

Seasonality is a theme I have come to recognize as permanent. Yet the way each season shows up in life is impermanent.

I have always loved moving and exercising. The forms have shifted over time and have shifted with the seasons. I try to be as intuitive with my movement as I can but sometimes my ego gets the best of me. I get stuck in a cycle of “I am going to follow this strength workout program on this platform for XX days” and by the end I don’t want to participate. My body craves the opposite.

I am on day 7 of my rest and regeneration adventure. What’s back in my life? Yoga. She didn't really leave per se, I always have some form of a mindfulness and somatic movement in my day which I consider yoga. Because what is yoga? It means to union or to yoke. My breath, mind and spirit are all working together in my practices.

But this is the first time in a while I took my yoga practice to the mat. And it was just what I needed. Sweet, caring, opening; like I received a warm hug from the universe.

I am entering a season of life amidst one of the most fiery and energetic calendar seasons, summer! It seems serendipitous that I am moving to Los Angeles during peak summer.

Day by day I am building the life of my dreams. But every action starts with me. I have the power to design the life I have always dreamed of, and to me, that is one of the most honest and courageous things to do.
