Good day, good day Reader , This time last week I was completely knocked down by a nasty flu. Fever, chills, headache… it was one of those bugs where you go to bed feeling fine and then somewhere in the middle of the night you wake up and know you're in for it. For three full days it was couch to bed, bed to couch, sipping water and broth, allowing my body the time it needed to rest and recover. It wasn’t how I would have planned to spend the week, but sometimes the body makes decisions that leave you no other choice but to listen and oblige. By the weekend, I was finally feeling well enough to get outside. So my family and I spent two full days in the woods with the fresh winter air and bright sun on our faces. And even though the snow is still deep, the warmth in the sun feels different. The light is lingering a little longer each day, and there’s a quiet sense that we are moving toward something new. Late winter into early spring carries a particular feeling. We are not fully in one season or the other; we’re in transition. And that’s what inspired March’s theme. In the AUM@home Community this month, I’ll be teaching practices that support the core and pelvic floor to help build foundational strength that supports you in daily life. As we move from a more Vata time of year toward the Kapha season, the body benefits from a little more warmth and strength. Piggy-backing on last month’s focus on Daily Rituals, my hope is that some of what we practice this month feels simple enough to return to regularly, perhaps even daily. Where small, repeated effort, quietly builds strength beneath the surface. Just like what I imagine the crocuses and daffodils are doing beneath the snow at this very moment. I’m grateful to be feeling well again. Grateful for the sunshine. Grateful for the reminder that even when we’re slowed down, the light is always there, ready and waiting. May this month help you build strength that feels steady, capable, and quietly confident as we make our way from winter into spring. With warmth, |

NEWSLETTER Hello hello Reader The other day I was getting ready for Taekwondo training when a ladybug flew out of my neatly folded uniform. I had no idea what it was at first but my mind doing its mind-things, jumped to conclusions. Deciding in an instant that it had to be something bad, I actually caught myself feeling disgusted and mildly scared at what it might be. In the five seconds it took me to figure out what it was, I had gone from fearful surprise, to something close to disgust, to...
There aren't many things in life that go exactly as planned. More often than not, something comes up or gets in the way of best laid plans and intentions. Sometimes it's big. But more often it's small hiccups. → You meant to call the clinic and forgot and now it's closed. And it's the weekend. → You're standing in front of the mirror second-guessing the outfit you were so sure about in the store. → You drifted off thinking about a weekend getaway right in the middle of your boss asking you...
That's me. Roughly ten years old. When I learned that the last time May 1st, Beltane, and a full moon all landed on the same day was 1988, it stopped me in my tracks. I was immediately transported back to this little girl. The joy she had. The friendships. The creative things she practiced freely and, if I'm being honest, was rather good at. She wasn't getting in her own way yet. But somewhere along the way, that changed. I'm not sure exactly when, how or why it happened. I don't quite...
