A New Season

So it begins… the new year. I have to report that for me it really didn’t start until yesterday. The whole weekend felt like an extension of the previous one, still lingering like a bad childhood memory. But Monday brought with it a new energy to deal with, getting out of the house and going […]

Of Pink and the Goddess

Pink has turned out to be my favorite color lately. Mind you, this is a new pattern for me. Historically, I’ve stayed away from pink for many reasons, but mainly because it’s paired with anything girly, and really, I am not that girly. Perhaps when I was 12 or 13 for a brief moment there, […]

The three women that have most influenced my life so far.

We all live by example. The lessons we carry come either from experience (those are fun, right?) or by stories told by others. The stories, random shortcuts of wisdom, come to you when one most needs them, and the storytellers are here to be part of our own history in the making. They gently guide us, […]

Three Podcasts to open your mind and be inspired

I have recently discovered the power of my earphones. These days I am drawn into myself more than ever. Perhaps the political scene is too much and is everywhere, and it just makes me cranky. Or maybe I am just recharging my batteries for something greater. Whatever the reason, I must admit that I have […]

Something for your Saturday

I love whenever I find little pieces of random information that point me in the right direction. This beautiful reflection confirms that making new choices is the way to continue the motion of your life. Don’t get stuck. Just keep moving. Graham Ezzy- Writing and The Sea from Ezzy Sails on Vimeo. I love whenever […]

I Yoga : Keeping it real

Last week I got my first mat burn ever. After the Kundalini class the previous Sunday, I was feeling good and clear headed. I was a little sore, but my muscles were doing a happy dance, so I pretty much went on with it. On Monday morning, my energy levels were through the roof. While getting ready for work […]

Resilience

INGRID SILVA // ACTIVIA from Ben Briand on Vimeo. There is this quality of persistence that accompanies every great endeavor. Nothing worth pursuing comes easy. Only those who stick to it, have the better chance to succeed. Resilience comes as a result of persistence. The ability to retain your true identity against the hardship that will […]

I Yoga : The first month

“We are energy, and we have the capacity to shift and create the path in which we choose to dance and make life on. It isn’t always going to be paved the way we are used to or the way we want, but with practice, we learn that if we are present and awake we […]

How to get your groove back (or, how to come back to you when you don’t feel like yourself anymore)

There are a few things I’ve learned so far regarding this subject. I am still alive (thank you my sweet Lord!), so my path is still ahead of me, waiting to open up to yet another learning experience. So, the truth is, while we are all here, existing in this very moment, we are all […]

I Yoga : 365 days of Yoga in 2017

There you have it: my master plan for the new year 2017. In theory, it is really a simple idea: getting on the mat, every single day, and commit to a yoga practice. The truth is, knowing me as much as I do, I am very inconsistent. I get exited about stuff, learn it, and […]
