Sagrada, photo by Jenny Lee As a deep-diving, high-flying, full-throttle feeling person, I will never forget what my yoga teacher Tias Little told me. We sat on rocks under the vast New Mexico sky, the red-sand desert stretching out in all directions: “Your asana is strong. Meditate. And c
I’m loving all the intention-setting meditations, writing prompts, and yoga classes themed around the new year. While many people acknowledge New Year’s Resolutions rarely bring the results we desire those first few weeks in January, intention with clear vision is always a potent initiator, for where our attention goes, our energy—that spark-and-fire of action—flows. So far, my favorite new-yearsy practice has been “Ten Small Things for a Better 2016,” an inspiration list offered by yoga-coach and author Meadow DeVor. What I appreciated most about her list is that the intentions come not from a self-judgy place but from enthusiasm. When I was journaling, I wasn’t making my “What Needs to be Fixed in 2016” list but my “Ten Small Things for Inspiration/Purpose/Joy in 2016” list. What an ocean of difference. Meadow’s list is lovely, including “surrender” and “dharma,” green smoothies and hiking, Squaw Valley and her daughter, Isabelle. Read it here. I wanted to share mine in hopes that it will encourage you to spend twenty minutes in play with potential for a better…maybe even best year. Ten Small Things for Inspiration/Purpose/Joy in 2016 1. Choose one word that symbolizes where you have been, the quality that you are most proud of. A word that embodies your journey to this moment. Well, it’s more a phrase. Brave New World. In the past year, I’ve lived in a new home; taught yoga in new places (California, Kentucky, Puerto Rico); bought a car (that was a whole lot of ‘news’); helped students publish a book of memoirs: Unveiling Self; committed to additional yoga teacher training; and danced into a new loving, supportive, passionate relationship. All these new facets of my journey asked me to step out in faith. To be brave. To participate in a brave new world of traveling alone, leading, facilitating, and trusting. 2. Choose one word that symbolizes what you are currently practicing or working on. A quality that you are reaching for right now. Expansion. Ease. Elegance. Okay, I’m not so good at this one word guideline, but at least they all start with the letter “E”! I want to expand my creative writing life, yoga knowledge/practice/teaching, romance with my guy, financial health and abundance perspective, physical expression…all of it, breathed open into even more expansion. As for ease, well, I’m good at working hard, and I’d like to be better at be-ing at ease in my body, schedule, relationships, and self talk. I invite more ease. Finally, elegance. In all realms I desire elegance—my words, body language, dress, interactions with others, home, etc. I want my style stamp to evoke elegance. 3. Choose one word that symbolizes who you will become this year. The quality that embodies your journey forward. The word for your future. Yogi-poet. See that! I hyphenated. One word. And that’s the point. My roles as a yoga person and writing person merge with each Prose and Poses practice. I offer writing/reflection opportunities in my yoga classes, and encourage students to breathe and stretch in my English classes. I open my body as a creative channel and write from that place. Where will it take me? 4. Pick one location that you will actually visit this year. This place can symbolize the places that you’ll journey this year. Wherever I can practice yoga and write in a beautiful place. I can see it even if I don’t know where it is yet. It’s humid, near the ocean; there’s sand on my mat. It feels untamed. Inside, tall windows bathe a desk in light. Everything is an invitation. 5. Pick one activity that symbolizes the actions that you will take this year. The things that you will do. Movement. No one particular activity emerges as most important; rather a state of being: flow-in-motion. I’m open to dancing, practicing yoga, hiking, ice-skating, making love, swimming, flying (it’s possible!), etc. 6. Pick one person who inspires you and one thing about them that you can emulate. Sylvia de Marco, sanctuary creator and lifestyle artist. I fell in love with Sylvia by staying at her house, The Dreamcatcher Guesthouse, PR, an intimate bed-and-breakfast filled with sacred altars, vintage furniture, Coqui frogs, and healthy choices (vegan dining, yoga, hammock reflection). Sylvia brings beauty to all she touches; whether it’s her houses, clothes, meals, or words. I desire to emulate her spiritual artistry and personal power. 7. Pick one food/drink that symbolizes health. Fresh, green salad. I want to eat salad every day. I grew up thinking salad was that superfluous dish at the end of the table: ice burg lettuce, button carrots, ranch dressing, and a snowcap of Bacon Bits. I am blessed to live in a place where fresh greens (Holy Arugula!) are available at farmers markets multiple days a week. 8. Pick one word/image that symbolizes emotional/spiritual health. Dreamcatcher. The word itself is as whimsical as the object hanging in my window. It may be simple or elaborate, shot through with white light or spun around a sturdy willow reed. It suggests a portal to other realms, where dreams and poetry and mystery abound. It has structure and freedom, an improvisation of movement and empty space. It says you too can have lightness, ease, hope—I’m a thing with feathers. 9. Pick one quote that speaks to you for the upcoming year. "Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead your astray." ~Rumi 10. What beautiful question can you ask yourself to shape your day? Sometimes, the questions I ask myself are not curious in nature but judgmental. “Is this good enough?” “Am I enough?” “Will he/she like me?” “Am I doing something wrong?” What if I flipped the script? I can answer these questions—“Yes, this is working.” “Yes, XYZ like, no, LOVE you.” “You are, in fact, doing many things right!”—Then. Move. On. (You may not need to address these nagging questions, but I find it helpful.) More compelling questions, ones that may shift my entire framework are “How expansive do I want to be today?” “What will surprise me today?” or “How can I share light today?” These questions will start to shape my life differently—from a darkening, harrowing hole of criticism and shame to a lighter, brighter, broader realm of possibility. A beautiful question will foster more magic and greater personal clarity. My beautiful question for this day, this year: Where will I see beauty today? That’s my List. Now, write yours. Meadow suggests you get arty with it and make a collage. I’d love to hear/see your FUN New Yearsy practice. Love and Light, Leslie

Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas! 💞🎄💞 All I want for Christmas is this dear, handsome man...and an island. May your dreams become beautiful realities on this day of holy mystery and light upon light. #caribbeanchristmas #merrychristmas #feliznavidad #yoga #proseandposes #livemoreworkless #livethoughtfully #namaste (at The Dreamcatcher in Puerto Rico)
Happy Christmas Eve. Sad to leave beautiful Tortola, but excited to visit Puerto Rico and break bread with dear friends at @_the_dreamcatcher 💞🎄💞 I'll never forget this magical yoga porch with the best views! @bobbiecboyer 🙏🏻 #yoga #bvi #tortola #happychristmaseve #islandlife #proseandposes #livethoughtfully #livemoreworkless #pr #sanjuan #namaste
"Everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me." #neruda Love is the strongest force in the universe; its stirrings are small waves that build with magical and mundane experiences, laughter, secrets unwrapped, dreams first spoken aloud, intimacies and trustables, the greatest gift of touch that goes beyond the body to some deeper realm of essence that wants to hold and be held....to float together until the sun moors behind mountains and stars crack open their light. I never knew...I thought I did, but I didn't. Not really. How lucky are we that the world keeps opening us like this, revealing its mystery and beauty--the divine in everything. Those little boats. #love #puroamor #shakti #proseandposes #selflove #eros #livethoughtfully #bvi #tortola #islandlife #namaste (at Cane Garden Bay Tortola BVI)
Another lovely morning practice with @jason_crandell, whose realism, precision, humor, and emphasis on effort (for mental engagement, yes!) and steady regulation I sooooo appreciate. Thank you @yogaglo for the "Get out of your yoga rut" class. Then we made our way to #longbay and a nice local gave us a ride up, over the hill. Beach and books, palm trees and ocean breeze. 🌊💙🌊We walked back over the hill to #applebay for the last sip of sun and a #bushwacker (adult Christmas in a cup...with nutmeg!) @booklust Is this more like it?! Ha ha!!! #caribbeanchristmas #bvi #tortola #islandlife #yoga #livemoreworkless #loveyourlife #proseandposes #namaste
"I gave it a lot of thought, and though I was careful never to mention it, I began to see a new dimension in everything that happened." #rumdiary Ocean views and Christmas music. 🌊🎄🌊 #holidaycheer #happyholidays #proseandposes #yoga #worklesslivemore #loveyourlife #namaste (at Cane Garden Bay Tortola BVI)
"There was a strange and unreal air about the whole world I'd come into." 💙💗💙 #rumdiaries I love the color and free-flow of Island life! It's such a lovely contrast to my sometimes more scheduled, to-do-list oriented teacher life. It feels gooood to be in a strange and unreal air--salty, humid, full of green-growing life and yellow butterflies. #yoga #proseandposes #islandlife #bvi #tortola #lessworkmorelife #loveyourbody #vacation #travellust #vrksasana #puroamor #namaste (at Long Bay Tortola British Virgin Island)
Another beautiful day in Tortola paradise. After a @yogaglo practice with @jason_crandell we went to Smuggler's Cove, where I snorkeled for the first time! Lots of sun and rain and fancy drinks and reading (Rum Diaries) and yoga and good company. I love walking around a new place with this guy--an Indiana Jones explorer! And amen for humidity! #yoga #travellust #bvi #tortola #bombashack #loveinsideout #loveyourlife #namaste (at Bomba's Surf Side Shack)

Started our day with yoga on the deck. Sweet views all around. I pulled the six of wands from @the_wild_unknown and saw the beautiful butterfly of emerging and new beginnings. When I came out to have coffee with Ryan on the deck, I saw a parade of white-yellow butterflies. I felt a fresh start within me, shedding travel woes and waking up to spread my wings. Here's to more ease and comfort. 🌊💙🌊 #yoga #bvi #tortola #travellust #thewildunknown #butterfly #BeginnerYoga2015 #tripodheadstand @beachyogagirl @kinoyoga #proseandposes #livethoughtfully #namaste (at Long Bay Tortola British Virgin Island)
We all want to have that fabulous Marilyn moment--sun, wind, skirt-flying smiles (on the Willy T, a pirate ship in the middle of the Caribbean). ✨💙✨ #yoga #tortola #bvi #travellust #happyfriyay#whitechristmas #dearhandsomeman #willyt (at Willy T)
After flying from SLO to SF to Houston red eye to San Juan to St. Thomas and ferry to Tortola... We arrived. So thankful to be here with good friends and this dear, handsome man. Here's to rest, play, health (got sick Tues), and vision! To seeing NEW places with NEW eyes. 🌊💙🌊 #yoga #travellust #tortola #bvi #proseandposes #livebeautifully #namaste
"Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait and wait without anxiety." 💞💚💞 #courseinmiracles I may not always be certain, but I practice trust in a loving God/dess, an abundant universe, and the beautiful mystery of my life...and yours. #yoga #proseandposes #selflove #livethoughtfully #namaste
Coffee ritual ☕️❤️ So good I had to sip as I walked (beautiful spill!). @scoutcoffee (Even better with besties @aloha_alchemy) Awesome #fringeboots @altaregoapparel #alteregousa #yoga #coffeebreak #prettythings #livebeautifully #happyholidays #proseandposes #loveyourlife #worklesslivemore (my motto today...) #namaste (at Scout Coffee Co.)
Feeling full-hearted after a day of yoga, journaling, studying, coffee drinking, dreaming...petitioning the universe for what I truly, passionately, unapologetically want. It's sweet, y'all, truly sweet. (Thank you, beautiful @meadowdevor for guiding my heart today in a beautiful cathedral of sound and light! #yogachurch). Forget Santa, send your wish list to the cosmos of infinite possibilities! What's on yours? ✨❤️✨ #yoga #proseandposes #wishlist #petitiontheuniverse #natarajasana #dancerpose #BeginnerYoga2015 @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @mantraband
