Just a little bit goes a long way It's super easy to skip doing a movement practice because of time --or the expectation that every practice needs to be long or "full". So. not. the. case! Just move when you need it. Enjoy! Listen to "Mini Moves - Lunge Hip Stretch" What’s in […]
Taking care of you Self-care is a bit of a buzz word -- something we all need and probably need to learn how to do, and also something many of us eschew, perhaps because it isn't as easy as taking a bubble bath (unless that's your thing!). Before diving into the meditation practice in this […]

Other practices might have forms all of which are offered from a seating […]
Don't think too hard, just pause I think of a "go to" practice as the one that almost always "works" and is so familiar it takes virtually no effort to choose. Like a habit! Hum Sa is a habit kinda practice. Tune in for why Hum Sa works that way for me and to give […]
Challenge can be ok Most of the practices I offer (including this one!) encourage you to do as you need and at a pace that works for you. I'm also offering the option of working with a challenge: lengthening your breath just a bit beyond normal. This takes some focus effort and some physical effort. […]

What's in a breath Breathing is something we all do. And we don't do it all exactly the same. The way our bodies move to facilitate air getting in and out of our lungs is specific to our situation and moment. This episode offers an opportunity to tune in and observe your breathing in the […]
