A Yogi Kitchen Off The Mat

We spent a long yoga session focusing on Seva, or selfless service from the heart. How did it change you? Here’s how it changed some of our regular family members and how it changed me. Help me brainstorm our focus for our next session.

Are you feeling this big shift? Or is it just me? I feel a huge shift with the spring-like weather and i am wide open for it. Want to get more open? Practice Seva with me. It will crack your heart wide open.

How can you connect to the best parts of yourself? Fika and Seva, along with the Thruve Challenge are shifting us n big ways. Will you join us and connect with the best parts of yourself.

We’re focusing on Seva or selfless service from the heart this session. Let’s up your service game. At A Yogi Kitchen we’re cooking more, delivering more food and starting seedlings.

Seva, or selfless service is a core practice is yoga. How do you step outside of your inner circle and show your heart? This session we’re committing to a practice of Seva. That’s the next 8 weeks to open your heart, feel happier and connect to your purpose and meaning. It’s one of my favorite Off The Mat practices. 💚

We took a week off. Here’s why and how we’re moving forward. This week is identifying what you know to do.

How do you thrive? I invite to consider that slowing down to enjoy the good things is a way to thrive. This Swedish concept, Fika, is our guide through the next 30 days. What does slowing down feel like? Does it scare you? Imagine how thrive feels with me.

It’s a new year and we have a new focus. What’s your word for the year? We are focusing on slowing down and thriving. Imagine what that looks like for you? How does it feel in your body, mind and heart? Dream with me about a year that you Love!

We’ve learned so much about Rest this year and we’re not stopping here. It’s time to open our hearts and create space for others. They deserve the richness of rest, just like you do. So, let’s start sharing with this new card that we’re embracing. Share with your loved ones, embrace people you don’t know well and reach a hand out to strangers.

It’s been a while since I’ve led you through setting intention. So today lie down and let’s focus on Home. Let us look at the week and set set yourself up for a successful week. Rest, nap, take baths and walks. Feel Hoke body, mind, heart

Home can be more than one place in your life. It can even be a person. Where do you feel Home? Here are the places u feel Hime. AND our Goulding fundraiser, Thrive Challenge and burning Bowl.

Sink into Home this session. Feel the power of Home in your living space, in your body and in your heart. Take that power and share the love this holiday season. We’re supporting a local family. How can you help? Join us!

Home. Say it to yourself. Home. Feel your body shift? Home. What does that feel like to you? It’s about more than where you fall asleep at night. Breathe.

As you move into the busiest part of the year, with more obligations, more family I encourage you to remember You Are Enough Now.. It’s time to deprogram from grind culture and slow down, even with all the pressure to do more. You can do it, just slowly.

I am overwhelmed with a heart full of gratitude and privilege. So let’s pause here. Just two classes this week and we’re moving quickly towards the end of the year!!!

Let’s do a check-in. It’s been a minute. This centering meditation is not what most people consider meditating. Do a check-in with me and get quiet, slow down and Thrive!

An update and a new word for our short yoga session. Let’s Thrive this month. What does that look like for you? Did you know that it means to invest in your health and well-being. What does that look like? Let’s slow down.

It is your birthright. You do not need to be exhausted, overwhelmed or at your breaking point to need rest. You were born needing rest and you still do. They only thing that changed as you became an adult was the messaging. Say it to yourself. Rest does not have to be earned.

Every week I pick a card from Tricia Hersey’s Rest Deck, a tool for getting razor sharp about what’s important to you. A deck like this is magical. It calls out to you and calls you out. Join me to experience the brilliance of Hersey and do the work around Rest with me.

Rest is a place of abundance and freedom . Imagine what that feels like in your body. How is rest changing you? Come with us to a place where your body and your mind connect.

Rest has created even more Ease, convincing me that Rest is our answer. Join us to practice Rest thru August.

Every week I invite you to celebrate. On Fridays we celebrate the wins from the week. What are you celebrating? What went right this week? Little or big, make sure you take a moment to pay attention.

Earning rest is a weird concept, right? But we all do it. In this episode I talk about how I sometimes feel like I need to keep up and why I know that’s not true.

Shifts, wobbles and changing within poses and from day to day are normal and expected. How to take those experiences and the lessons from them and plug them into your life. I’m sharing my process as I’m navigating the waters after my mom’s stroke.

I talked a lot about being present and the cope Ahead skill, but really the most useful yoga skill/tool to help care for my mom is gratitude. Practice gratitude as often as you can!
