Oh man, what a time to be alive! Are you guys going through major life reevaluations? Ever since all this madness began I have been so drawn to nature. It’s like my body knows exactly what it needs and damn are we lucky that we can still soak up this goodness. This week has been a major opportunity for me personally to look at my life as I was writing an article about the world’s blue zones. One of the amazing things about all this social distancing is that we have space - space to tune into ourselves and explore both our internal and external landscape...and when you strip away all the stuff, you can take a look at what’s left and that’s your life. And either you love it or you don’t. And if you don’t love it, well then it might be time to start mixing things up cause life is short! And when you look back on it you want to know that you lived a good one - filled with family, friends, nourishing food, heart warming wine, purpose, passion, nature, movement and trust that everything is exactly as it should be and there’s nowhere else to be but here (some actual blue zone secrets!). Embrace the simple things, cause when everything else is gone, they look pretty damn magnificent! 🍷 ☀️ 🌳 🏖 💓
This past week has been absolutely insane! Never have I been so simultaneously connected and disconnected. Scrambling to keep up with the changing face of, well, everything, I see how much I’ve been resisting the walls crumbling around me. It’s like I’m trying to pick up the pieces before they’ve even touched the ground, and it’s exhausting. Tomorrow, I’m holding my first Zoom group class with some of my regular local students. I’m so excited to stay connected to my crew in these times of chaos. And that’s what this is about. It’s not about taking advantage of this crazy situation and spending a bomb to take my yoga ‘career’ online. I’ve done the research guys, and it’s bloody expensive being a yoga superstar 😅. So I’m gonna keep it chill for now - sprinkle some goodness into the world where I can, take care of my community and take a few bloody breaths (without a screen in my face). If you want to join me for a practice, I’ll be at the @summitlismore Facebook page on Tuesday nights from 5:30-6:30pm (with some non copyrighted music 😜) and offering private and small group sessions on Zoom. I’ll keep sharing some short Vimeo classes when I have time, and sprucing up the socials of some of my friends (looking at you @rovebyronbay). I so appreciate all the support I’ve received from so many of you - commenting on every question I’ve asked, sharing your own inspiration and reminding me of what really matters in these times. And I’ve felt so incredibly held by my little Lismore yoga crew - you guys know who you are - I love you so much! I’m off to have a bath! See you in a week! 🛀😜😘
