“who are we not to shine” -Nelson Mandela

Who are we not to be our very best selves? We are here for that…to grow into our very best self and carry that self out into the world. No matter what the situation is, no matter how dire, or challenging or joyful…all that is required is that we show up as our best self.

How do care for our bodies and our spirits? How do we love ourselves?

It is in these practices that we have the strength, courage and capacity to be our best.

Filling our spirit allows us to shine it out in the world.

Through our yoga practice, the intelligence of our mind, connects with, is infused with and joins the wisdom of our bodies. Our bodies contain the wisdom of the forest, the beauty of a sunrise, the peace of a summer evening.

It is this force, this power, that we find on our mats.

In the presence of millions of miracles contained in our bodies, we are grounded in truth.

We are here to shine.

We are meant to shine.
