Ease & just being here now.

After three beauuuuuutiful explorations, it's time we come back home to rest within our integration practice of “ease & just being here now.” This delicious focus always has 2 parts: 1) Ease We’ll move our body and invite the sensation of ease into our dance. Ease in our shoulder joints... Ease in our spine... Ease in our facial muscles... etc... We’ll still be welcome to move as vigorously as we’d like moment to moment— we’ll simply also invite ease into that vigor. Easy doe

Giving ourselves space.

Ooh friend… this is going to be another delicious one…. Whereas last week was about giving ourselves (and life) grace, this week is about giving ourselves space. Last week we explored things like embracing the messiness… the grey in-between… the need for multitasking sometimes… and how it feels in our body to remove the pressure of “perfect” circumstances, outcomes, or performance. Oh man— it felt soooooooooo gooooooood! This week, we’re giving ourselves the gift of space.

Giving ourselves grace.

Ok, friend. As always, I’m so excited to dive into this next exploration with you. Let’s start with this: Do you ever let the fact that you can’t do something as ideally or perfectly as you’d like keep you from doing the thing at all? This time I don’t mean “perfect” as in your skill or ability (we explored that one last September here)… Rather, I mean in terms of circumstances, environment, preferences, & conditions. As in, the conditions aren’t as perfect or ideal as you’d

Giving ourselves permission to feel… sexy.

Ooh, friend…. It’s another one of those weeks where I mostly just have questions….. Sometimes, we focus on feeling certain things. For example: confident, strong, empowered, centered, grateful, compassionate, agile, mobile, grounded, etc… This week’s invitation is to explore: what happens if you give yourself permission to feel sexy? This feeling is just for us, babe. There’s no audience or judge watching you...You don’t need to “look” sexy for anyone else. You don’t need to

Ease & just being here now.

Ahhhhhhh….. time for another week of ease and just being here now…. and it is going to feel so delicious. As always these weeks have 2 parts: 1) Ease We’ll invite ease into our body as we dance. We can still move as vigorously as we’d like, but letting even those vigorous movements feel as easy as they possibly can. No extra tension or effort-ing needed. Easy does it. 2) Just being here now We’ll focus on sensing our body as a way to stay really present in the moment. We’ll s

Omni-directional movement.

Friend, I’m so excited to dance this focus with you. But first, a little story… It was the summer before my senior year at UNI, and I was working in the weight room. My job was to clean the equipment, and scan student IDs. At the time, I loved lifting weights and talking about lifting weights, so I was right at home. One day, a young man came in, walked over to a rack, set a bar on his shoulders, and proceeded to do something totally crazy: he started doing lunges in all so

Mid-year check-in & re-set.

We are half-way through 2026, friend. Can you believe it? The past 6 months have felt really…. fast. Life is really wonderful —it’s great (and I’m so grateful)… Buuuuuut sometimes (like lately), I can find myself so zoomed in on what I need to do right-this-minute-TODAY, that I can find myself sort of treading water through life rather than swimming towards anything specific. Do you ever find yourself feeling that way? I mean, I get it… Life is gloriously FULL! And of course

Lymphatic flow…..

I hope you had a wonderful week. I always LOVE vacationing with my family, but knowing I’ll get to Aya with you when we get back really helps me love coming back home too. :) We’re currently driving back, and all this sitting has me thinking it’d be great to revisit a focus we explored a couple of years on our lymphatic system. We’ll move & help keep everything flowing…. yesssss! I wrote quite a bit about this focus back in 2024 (when I was falling wildly in love with all thi
