Today, January 18th is known as Blue Monday. The third Monday of January has been awarded the gloomy title due to a combination of post-Christmas blues, cold dark nights and the arrival of unpaid credit card bills. (awarenessdays) Instead of setting yourself up to feel blah & blue, why not honour exactly where you are & how you feel? If you’re feeling the blues, then that’s ok. Maybe take time to rest, journal, savour a cup of tea or reach out to a friend. Maybe you’re fee...ling joyful & grateful as you recall all those people who support who you are & what you do. And maybe you’re feeling a whole lot of mixed emotions. There’s no right or wrong way to feel. Just keep honouring where you are. Inside of each one of us is a rainbow (our chakras). May you find peace in knowing that every colour & everything you’ll ever need is within you See more

As you head into 2021, I offer you this big, fat wish wrapped in love & light. May you practice radical self acceptance for who you are right NOW regardless of weight, age, appearance, etc. Everything you need is already within you maybe it’s simply camouflaged by clutter. Take time to peel away the layers, tune out the noise & go inward to find your seat of love, security, peace & joy. It’s there, within you. ... Once you find it, honour what makes you, you. Love yourself enough to nourish your mind, body, heart & soul knowing that you are worthy & deserving of this nourishment. Always meet yourself with gentleness & compassion, letting go of judgements, expectations (woulds & shoulds) or comparisons. Wear your vulnerability like a badge of honour allowing your true, authentic, unfiltered self to shine. That’s what this world needs more of. Do a little inventory of all your worries & recognize that all these worries are not necessarily meant for you to carry alone. Lean into the support of those who accept you, build you up & fill your cup with grace, positivity & laughter. Take time each day to find little pockets of joy & practice gratitude for all your blessings. Remember, your breath is your superpower & can calm the most turbulent mind. And carry with you a sense of hope to get you through any moments of doubt, struggle or heaviness. I invite you to place your hand over your heart & connect with your heartbeat. Please hear me as I say these words: You are enough exactly as you right now, right now, in this present moment of now, the only moment that matters. xoxo

We start tomorrow!!!! $21 for 21 days of joy related activities including meditation, yoga, journal prompts & other inspirations of joy. Part of the monies raised will be donated to a food bank as giving back raises the joy quota. Message me to be added to this private fb group today. Looking forward to starting 2021 with JOY!!!! etransfer [email protected]

Many people tend to struggle during the winter months due to colder weather, shorter days & now a pandemic (& lockdown). We need JOY more than ever. They say a new habit takes an average of 21 days to develop. I encourage you to join Soul Simplicity Sangha Joyful in January - a 21-day activity based group to h...elp you develop & enhance the habit of finding joy.

While we may not be able to practice together in person or in beautiful studios, we have Zen on Zoom. These weekly classes are more than just yoga! They offer a sense of connection; a gathering of like minded peeps who become your tribe, a routine around which you can structure your day, a safe space for you to escape the outside world, slow down & check in with yourself, a place for you to show up exactly as you are, pjs & all, a retreat to simply breathe, receive validatio...n & feel all the feelings honouring each & every one, a reminder of how resilient you are & finally they offer messages of hope, presence & joy. Collectively, we come together, creating an amazing energy that trickles to the outside world. And as if that wasn’t enough, I get sent pics of people’s beautiful yoga spaces. Thank you Diane for this gorgeous pic. Feel free to share your pictures.

The perfect gifts

January is usually one of the biggest months in the fitness/well-being industry as people set new intentions for better health. This year is a little different due to the ongoing pandemic & subsequent restrictions. So while we must stay physically distant, we can still remain socially present, active & connected via Zoom. Truly, the hardest part is starting but once you get going, there are lots of benefits to be found. I am thankful to belong to 2 nurturing groups & network... with others where we promote, empower & support each other’s efforts. Competition is rooted in fear & scarcity. There are enough challenges without having to further prove yourself. There is enough to go around. Yesterday, we were asked to reflect on competition. Here’s my reflection: I admire you. You inspire me. You fuel my continuous improvement. There is no competition. There is enough to go around. We are part of something greater than ourselves. Together, we improve a greater cause. We need to build each other up, connect & root for each other! Anything else is unacceptable. It’s really easy: Like or comment on each other’s posts, share their offerings, spread the word & then let people choose what resonates with them. Insecurity & unhealthy competition leads to instability. Our world needs to be built on a strong foundation of kindness, joy, love & compassion & let that start with you! xo

Tonight there’s space..... Not only physical space or space in the zoom room but space for you to show up exactly as you are. Space to allow you time & stillness to honour your thoughts, feelings & sensations.... I will hold space & guide you as you welcome & connect with all those bits & pieces that make you who you are. Tonight, you will honour your story knowing that whatever chapter, sentence or word you are writing is worthy. Space to connect with yourself, space to breath & space to be. Join me tonight for this last restorative practice of 2020! This class starts at 7:45pm & will offer space so that you can give yourself exactly what you need. 7:45-9:00 $10 drop in or on demand Recording
