Taking Time Away

Important Reminder

Mike and I loved our sailing trip and all of its adventures. Well, maybe not the engine trouble, nor the failed throttle bolt. 😩 But spending time on the water, so connected to nature . . . it’s invigorating! 


We haven’t cruised in a few years because summer is my busy teaching season. I find it challenging to gift myself the time away. 


This trip was a beautiful reminder for me about the importance of slowing down. Changing gears. Taking time to connect with my love and my love for sailing. ​

While we were away, I received this musing from Lizzie Lasater.

If you’re not familiar with her, she’s a busy mom of twins, who creates a lot of phenomenal yoga content through her writings, retreats, and course offerings. 

When I saw her “love letter to Savasana”, it bolstered me. 

I highly recommend signing up for her newsletter. 
It’s one I open every time. ♥️

“Skipping Savasana is like telling the Universe:
I don’t deserve rest.
When you’re giving out delights, please skip me.
I don’t want any pleasure or softness or ease in my life.

Practicing Savasana regularly with all the props
for 20 spacious minutes is like saying:
I deserve dessert.
And FYI, I’m totally available to receive abundance.

When you need to find me, Universe, I’ll be lying right here:
Heart open.”

No matter what is going on in your world right now, I hope you gift yourself permission to truly, deeply, rest. May we all have moments that are still, and sweet, and restorative. It may seem like we’re “doing nothing,” but this is where shifts happen. 

Until next time,
