Following initially wordless heartbreak and tears of shock and mourning in the wake of Friday's horror, I begin to contemplate the impact we all have on each other. 

How can we reach people's hearts before so much anger, desperation, pain, and hatred build up and cause unthinkably horrific tragedy?

 

How can we each most effectively seek to make a positive difference for people, for each other, every day? What does it look like to wake up each morning with the mission to impact people at the very core of their being with light?

 

You don't have to be teacher - in fact, if that's not your disposition and gifting, then trying to be a teacher would be the exact opposite of this.

 

How you, how anyone, can best light up someone else's heart is by noticing, owning, and doing - actively living - what lights you up.

 

Yoga is a practice that gives us the space to release what needs to be released; to create opening for fresh insights, new inspiration, greater clarity; to connect us to the light of who we authentically are; to receive the strength to shine this light brightly. 

This is why I practice. This is why I teach yoga. 

This is why I invite you to join me. 

Wishing you a day of receiving and giving light,
