We’ve got a Mothers Day AND a birthday to celebrate this week!


13 years ago I was at the end of my first pregnancy and I thought I would not have this beautiful baby by Mother’s Day.

I was worried I wasn’t a mother yet.

What I then realized I already was a mother. I was caring for and supporting this bean growing inside me, months and really years before I was actually physically pregnant.

So, Reader, YES HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! 🎉

And, this brings up two thoughts for me:

  1. Acting as if you are…_______ (identity you wish to be)
  2. Honoring and celebrating your divine creative energy.

In yoga, we believe the divine creative energy comes from the Mother.

This energy exists in ALL of us.

So if you close your eyes and place one hand on your heart and one on your belly…

FEEL and BREATHE into your own creativity.

Connect from sky to earth with the peace and organization of nature to tap into this energy.

You already ARE this energy. You FEEL and BREATHE and MOVE towards this.

AND if you are ready to move towards another identity or repeated beingness…

Take time to FEEL and BREATHE into that space.

Whether that’s who you are and how you move in the world to support yourself, your family, your career, your community…

Celebrating Mother energy in ALL of you.

Especially my human bean MOTHERS who’s secret weapon is LOVE.

**this is my sister, mom, and I - love you!


Let’s go!

I want to thank my dear nor cal friend for inspiring me this week with all our traded voice memos on Acai Bowls and chalky tasting shakes. I called first and told her I was drinking this absolutely disgusting shake. (I usually put beef protein isolate protein powder in my shakes, but I was out so I used an unflavored pea protein one.) 😬 Reader, it was very awful. Mis-take noted. We will not be using using that recipe again (also brain thinking it needs more fruit ETC)! My friend then responds...

I am a mermaid…no really I am, Reader ! And though a bit RIP, a bunch of friends and I were part of this paddle boarding group, the South Bay Mermaids, which we started around 2001. Most of these beautiful women are still in my life today. I am so grateful for you my dear mermaids!! So, Reader, what I mean to say is water helps me access my magic. Whether its surfing, swimming, paddling, soul soaks in the tub, the water is nourishing and life giving to me. In yoga, we call this nourishing...

hey hey Reader, April is moving quickly. And with this new moon and spring energy what can you call into your life as VIRA energy? In Prana Flow, we call this VIRA BHAKTI. This beautiful energy to be an everyday hero for yourself, your family, your work in the world, for your community. My work with my teacher Shiva Rea, I was reflecting on this vira energy. Tending the fire of my own life. You can also ask these reflection questions in your heart. So stop now and EXHALE. Take a breath or 3...
