Expectation what an energy zapper! I get so bombarded with societal and personal expectations, for example What size I wear, how much money I make, what opportunities do I give my children, what I think, say, wear eat and drink. I recently realized that each time I walk past my reflection I look at the imperfect areas of my body then affirm how much I hate these areas, this then affirms that I must be a failure...My core says is harsh, so cruel and untrue. So where did the ex...pectation to be a certain size come from. Who told me that success looks one way and one way only. Why in my 40’s am I still prisoner to these thoughts? Where do I take back my power? When I am in a space of reflection I am grateful for expectation because it brings inquiry. So why do I meditate? why is moving with awareness and a calm breath so important? It’s not going to fix my worries for my children, or financial stresses or the fact that my waist isn’t a size 10. BUT it does change my perspective, it allows me to inquire how expectations block the flow of life from happening, I can see how acceptance allows creativity...to see the other side of the coin. This inquiry, acceptance and creativity allows me to see my strength, it allows me to be focused on where my energy needs to be, most of all it allows me to be gentle and kind with myself. These are little changes that will not fix the past( that is what forgiveness is for) or societal expectations. This is where I get my power back! Inquiry and acceptance seem to fuel change in thought, words and action. In this space expectations melt away and the energy to deal with today’s issues is abundant, gentle and focused. Sending you all peace and See more

Would love to have you join me in this class.

This seems to be my lifelong work. In my life I have found that ego is my greatest inspiration to desiring a life that is connected to the stillness, peace and silence that rest with the soul. I feel these comparisons are great food for thought.

As a human who suffers from anxiety and depression. Yoga is so much more than hanging my leg around my neck like a scarf or standing on my hands. It is about a deeper connection to the subtle body. It is a guide to learning what anxiety and depression feel like in my body. Yoga guides me to breath through emotional discomfort not to fear it but to learn from it and so much more! What is yoga for you?
