The ChakrasThe theme of our last class was the Muladhara or root chakra. The poses grounded us to help stabilize our nervous system. I used the elements of this chakra to guide you to a deeper, fuller experience in the restorative pose. It dawned on me later that afternoon, that perhaps the chakra system is [...]
All hail the first crocus of the seasonI had a walkabout around my property and saw evidence that the seasons are changing despite the prediction that snow will fall tomorrow. It gave my heart some hope that we are moving out of the darkness of winter. We need winter to decompress from the flurry of [...]

Case in point, as I read Stephen Cope's newest book called, The Great Work of Your Life - A Guide for the Journey to Your [...]
My Issue with DoingI am going to write a memoir someday with the above title. I am a 'Doer', less of a 'be'er' (I know a 'be'er is not a word). I come from a long line of people who are always busy and always have a project to work on. I used to [...]

I was looking at their costume of rolled up pants, checkered shirt, suspenders and big black glasses, and I'm thinking they look pretty hip to me. Segue [...]

So welcome to your "Go To" resource for restorative poses, breath, relaxation techniques and hopefully inspiration to continue on your path to wellness and conscious living.We began this month's series in our new space at the [...]
