The world grows quieter. The days shorten. Our bodies naturally ask for more rest, warmth, and stillness. And yet, many of us continue moving at the same pace we carry through spring and summer—often at the expense of our nervous system.

Class at the YMCA is canceled today, as they have closed their doors for the day across all branches. While we won’t be gathering for practice tonight, you’re still invited to move gently at home. There’s a perfect snow-day yoga pose for today, and I’ve shared it here on the blog—along with a few supportive tips and links if you’d like to practice on your own. Please stay safe, stay warm, and allow yourself plenty of rest. Deep rest is part of the practice, too.

There is a quiet wisdom woven into the natural world—one that modern life often asks us to ignore.

The trees do not bloom year-round.

The moon does not remain full.

The earth itself rests, softens, expands, contracts, and begins again.

And yet, so many of us are taught to live as though we should be endlessly productive, consistent, and available—regardless of season, energy, or inner landscape.

This quote hit home the other day when I read it …

Have I been searching for home in others?

Has my desire to be a part of something … since the loss of my last life, taken the front seat once again, fear finding its way to the surface, raising questions and making me forget who I am or was it masked and I have never known a home within. Pretending I knew what I was doing

When we experience emotional trauma of any kind it changes us in many ways… so many ways, it shapes our perception, makes us cautious, paranoid, insecure, angry, sad, fearful….

It’s easy to stay in a place of fear, pain and hate the world for the experiences we have been through, right? Locked down, don’t let anyone in… I’ve been hurt.. f*ck that….
