Consistency Amidst Change

"Being a yoga teacher is NOT a job description.
It's a heart space."
~ Susanna Barkataki, Ignite Institute
Wow!

I'm glad that our little puppy, Javi, sparked so much joy! I appreciate the outpouring of affection for our love-bundle. I'm thrilled some of you have already gotten to meet him, and I promise to keep all of you updated via photos in future newsletters. Who knew that something weighing less than 4 pounds would rock our entire world, in the BEST of ways? 🐶♥️

Having a 3-month old, high-energy puppy, certainly has changed the rhythm of my days. For Javi, I shift my schedule, expend more energy, and lose some sleep. 
No matter the circumstances, when the routines of our daily lives change, it's tempting to let go of our self-care commitments:
  • Maybe it becomes more difficult to prepare nourishing meals at home? 
  • Perhaps we opt for another hour of television instead of a hike out in the woods, or a deep conversation with a loved one? 
Making changes, re-organizing our priorities, that's adaptability! Life asks us to be fluid, and while change isn't always pretty, we know it is a constant.  

I'm curious. When the pace of your life, the demands of your day, shift: 
  • Do you find it easy to adapt?
  • Do you lose your footing?
  • Do you struggle with flow?
  • Do you quickly sacrifice yourself, and your active self care, in order to care for others?
  • Do you have some ways of taking care of yourself that are non-negotiable?
