my biggest fear

Uncategorized May 04, 2023

“I’m not enough, and I won’t be loved.”

They say these are the two greatest fears of all humans.

Ever felt this way? 

I had my share of feeling "not smart enough" this past year at Harvard. 

Last week I delivered a final presentation about mindfulness and self-care for yoga teachers. 

Leading up to the presentation, limiting thoughts were speaking loudly in my head…

“I'm not as smart as everyone else.”

“They won’t resonate with my style.”

“What are they going to think of me?”

I was the last student to present; everyone before me had a fancy PowerPoint. 

I don't have much experience with making elaborate slide decks, so I said [email protected]©k it—I’m just gonna share my truth. 

After all, sharing authentically is everything we stand for at HJY University. 

Often we're taught to present our strengths and accomplishments to build credibility.

this is what I do every day

Uncategorized Jan 31, 2023

Wanna know what my daily rituals are?

Though I'm still capable of one-arm handstands, they are no longer part of my daily practice.

Disclaimer: I realize not everyone is able to dedicate hours to their daily rituals. It's a little easier for me. I have no kids, I live by myself, and yoga is my life—personally, professionally, and academically.

The key is to decide what's right for you.

Even 5 minutes a day—done consistently—can change your life.

I've been developing this daily ritual since 1998 when I became obsessed with health. My wellness journey began 25 years ago (when I weighed 100 pounds more than today).

So here we go, my daily rituals (and yes, Hanna would call this my bootcamp ...but I love it!):

Morning:

4am—wake-up

4:15am—cold plunge (bathtub)

4:25am—adrenal cocktail (lemon, fulvic minerals, salt, water)

‍ 4:35am—yoga asana

4:45am—pranayama (breath work) 

4:55am—mantra meditation

What is Bhatki Yoga?

Uncategorized Jan 19, 2023

Bhakti is the yoga of love & service. 

This past year has been a full immersion into the heart-centered practice of bhakti.

To give you a little taste, our friend Ragu shared these 6 pillars of bhakti:

no criticizing

be tolerant of situations / other people

take no offense

see the good in others & let them know it

be quick to apologize

cultivate a daily gratitude practice

Imagine what your life would look like when you live these principles every day. 

Yoga Teacher Training is about becoming the best version of yourself. 

It's about looking within and upgrading your thoughts, your practices, and your peer group. 

Ultimately it's about connecting to your heart and your truth.
