How 5-minutes Can Change Everything

I don't know about you but it has been a week. Honestly, it was one of those weeks where the practice had to come off the mat more than once just to keep me sane. If you caught my reel earlier this week, you know what I mean. Five minutes away from my laptop and onto my mat, a few stretches, one very well-timed dog visit, and I was a completely different person. That IS the practice. Not the perfect hour. Just five minutes when you need it most. In the live-classes this week, we moved through a grounding Core class targeting the deep foundation of the pelvis and a quiet Yin practice that I taught with a headache — because sometimes you just show up anyway and let the practice do what it does. Both are in the library if you missed them. On a personal note, this week also marked the end of the school year in our house. My son finished his first year of junior high and I honestly do not know where the time goes. One minute you are dropping them off at primary with tears in both your eyes, and the next they are walking into middle school like they own the place. It is one of those moments that stops you and reminds you that life is moving whether you are paying attention or not. Which is exactly why the practice matters. Not just the yoga. But the pausing, the noticing, and the being here for the moments that count. Something new is coming July 1st. Starting Wednesday, I'll be offering three early morning classes each week. I know I know. Who wants to, or has time to, get out of bed and get on their mat? But seriously. You are worth 20-30mins of your time three times a week. HECK! You are worth WAY more than that. But start with three. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 7am and in less than 30 mins, in your PJs, you'll have given yourself one of life's greatest gifts, physical, mental and emotional care. Two things I want you to have on your radar: La Solitude is coming up fast (August 7-9). If a quiet weekend away to reconnect with yourself has been calling you, this is it. Only a few spaces remain. Hit reply and I will send you all the details. And if you have been feeling the pull toward something deeper this fall — The Inward Journey, my twelve week Yoga and Ayurveda Immersion for Women, begins September 23rd. Early bird pricing is available now. More information is now live on the website That's all from me for now. See you on the mat soon, xoM |

Earlier this week I sat at the kitchen table with my head in my hands, and ugly-cried over work stress. A few minutes into me losing my sh!t, my twelve-year-old walked into the kitchen, put his hand on my back and started to consciously take deep breaths. He didn't say a word. He just stood there, beside me, breathing. Eventually I followed along and took a few deep breaths too. And, as you might guess, I calmed down. I've been teaching mindfulness and movement since the '90s. And there I...
Hi Reader, If you've been flowing along lately, you'll know that I've been writing a weekly article on Substack where I share something about my practice and how it has anchored and supported me through life's ups and downs. And even though I had every intention of writing one this week, it didn't happen. Old Michelle would be stressing to the max, frantically trying to get a piece together and uploaded. I would have lost sleep over it and likely would have erupted under the pressure of...
Hi Reader If I’ve gleaned anything over the years of practicing Yoga, it’s that every time I get on my mat, I need something different. Some days, my body needs to move or build strength. Some days, I need to slow down, breathe, and settle my mind. And some days, I need to support an injury, low energy, stress, digestive discomfort, or whatever else life has 'happened' in my body, mind and heart. My practice changes because I change. And yours should, too. It's a bold statement, I know. But...
