Stay close to your true self, stop going out to meet other energies. . Stay healthy in your body and let go of the physical pain you are carrying from these pandemic years. . Create strength and stability in your physical, mental and emotional bodies so you can move in the world the way you would like to. . Recommit to love, in all ways with all beings. . Question your prejudices and all of the ideas you’ve inherited or adapted that are not your own, you do not have to morph to belong. . Choose not to participate in in anything that doesn’t feel aligned for you. . Be the center of gravity in your own life… The minutes, hours, days and years of your life are yours to use as you choose. Make choices about how you want to use them—engage when you want to, pull in when you want to, learn to listen to the rhythms in this that are right for you. Speak this aloud in words, communicate what you need, how you feel, where your boundaries are, what you are available for and to. Animate new aspects of yourself every day, while still remembering source. Maintain friendships that sustain, and release yourself and others from those that do not. --from a journal entry upon returning from Costa Rica in December. These insights, and taking action on them, has already shifted so much for me. Travel can be a way to gain perspective--about ourselves, our relationships, and the world. Maybe some of these insights will be gems for you as well. And if you are looking for a journey this year, I'm leading three retreats and co-leading a destination teacher training this year. DM me with questions.

The Sirsasana or Headstand Posture is called the king of all asanas as it is a pose that involves balance on the head/crown. This is an advanced yoga asana that must only be attempted under the guidance of a yoga instructor. This asana is very popular due to its multiple health benefits. It speeds up the blood circulation and ensures that the brain receives sufficient, well-oxygenated blood.
It's also one of the more difficult posture to master and, if done incorrectly, can cause serious injury. This post requires long hamstrings, flexible spine and shoulders, and solid upper body strength. It's important to ensure you're focused, conditioned, and using proper technique before attempting the pose on your own.

The term Natarajasana can be broken down into “nat”, “raj” and “asana” which mean “dance”, “king”, and “posture'' respectively. This Lord of the Dance Pose seeks to honour the Hindu God Shiva who is recognized as the King of the Dance. It is a graceful yogic posture that helps improve the body’s posture and balance.
Natarajasana is performed standing on one leg owing to which it requires the practitioner to be strong and have good balancing skills. The spinal muscles are stretched each time Natrajasana is performed and are bent backwards. This backbend interspersed with intense stretching makes this a challenging pose that isn’t easy to hold.
