Magic on a Tuesday Morning

Happy Tuesday loves! I wrote this on a Tuesday and am sharing on a Wednesday. So, excuse me if I’ve made it confusing in anyway. Enjoy! Yesterday I had a craving for more connection and communication. I’ve worked in an office very little in my life. I’ve worked in a team very little in my life. Being a solo owner can be a bit lonely. I mean, I make sure to have coffee and drinks with people.…

How To Heal Knees and Lungs

It’s a weird combo right? Healing lungs and knees doesn’t seem like they go together, right? That is the beautiful thing about yoga. Yoga works mind/body/spirit, regardless of what you’re focusing on. Having said that, it works exponentially better when you have willingness to focus on the real issue. This is yoga therapy. Yoga therapy invites you to be super honest with yourself and grow your…

Slowing Down is the Advanced Work

Our word for the session is Rest. Rest is radical. It asks you to stop being busy and pay attention to what’s really important. It asks you to stop punishing your body by dumping cortisol and other damaging stress hormones. It asks you to heal. You cannot heal without Rest. Rest is liberation. It is freedom from grind and hustle culture. It is pushing back against the oppression of a culture…

Untitled

We took yesterday off to retreat. I love that word, don’t you? I love how it feels in my mouth. And on my ears re-t-r-a-t. Maybe I like it cause the second I hear it or say it, I have a reaction. My body relaxes, images of beaches and yurts pop into my head. I start craving a massage or a yoga class where someone tells me what to do. This year my word is Ease. I am looking forward too all the…

Men at work. Volunteers come in all shapes and sizes at @thesunriseproject community meal. You meet people of all ages and backgrounds. You share stories, histories and funnies. You get to know each other and you become part of a stitched together family serving our community. Connection is healing and healthy for your brain. This is service at its most delicious. I’m a fan of delicious yoga, but you don’t always get it on the mat. Sometimes asana practices brings up uncomfortable feelings. You get hurt trying something new or difficult. It’s not always delicious. Seva practice, the practice of dedicating yourself to others is always delicious. It is, perhaps, the most delicious part of yoga. A Yogi Kitchen’s lineage is based in heart-centered practice, on and off the mat. Seva opens your heart and strengthens the swirl of energy around lovingkindness and compassion. We all can use more of that, right? Want more love? Love more. A Yogi Kitchen is joining @thesunriseproject this Saturday flor their Plants and Pancakes fundraiser at 1501 Learnard. Join us! You can practice Seva, selfless service, by helping us prep, cook and/or clean-up. You can donate $10 and eat as many pancakes as you’d like. Go to Sunrise’s website to sign up. Link in their bio. Or help us for the community meal the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every meal. You can bake in your home and help A Yogi Kitchen’s yoga family provide dessert. Link in the bio to contact me and sign-up. Or you can join us in the kitchen like these men who helped package meals and clean-up. See you in the kitchen! #yoga #yogalife #seva #deliciousyoga #service #dedication #mindful #mindfulness #connection #community #lfk #lawrence #lawrenceks #communitymeal #cooking #kansas (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChrtZ5POvgg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This Is My Work

This Is My Work

A long time ago I connected with the energy and inspiration of healing people mind/body/spirit. It was a turning point in my life. This isn’t the first time you’ve heard me talk about this or post about this, but I’ve been thinking about it in a new way this year. 2022 invites us to think about what we’re doing, why we’re doing it and how we’re doing it. One of the gifts of the pandemic for many…

We’re Popping Up To Slow Down

Pop-Uo Slow Flow 12/30 (tomorrow) at 9:30a,CDT on Zoom. Online yoga is a gift of the pandemic, for me especially. Over my 20 years of teaching, I’ve taught all over. I’ve had yoga communities in Boston, New York, Chicago, Iowa, Wichita and the Kansas City area. Zoom gives me the opportunity to teach all of those students in one place. I love it. Some of those students, I’d lost contact with and…
