7 Ways Decluttering Is a Form of Yoga

Over the years, I’ve realized something simple but transformative: the less I have to manage, the steadier I feel. When there’s less to clean, organize, store, and mentally track, I have more energy for what actually matters. Letting go hasn’t meant I stopped caring. It has meant I stopped carryi... Read More

Now Is the Time for Yoga

Last week I shared a reflection on the third Yoga Sutra — and if I’m being honest, it might be my favorite to say in Sanskrit because it begins with TADA! But corny jokes aside… maybe we start at the beginning this time. The first sutra begins: Atha yoga anushasanam.Now is the time for yoga. Pata... Read More

What the Third Yoga Sutra Taught Me About Letting Go

I’ve been sitting with the third Yoga Sutra lately: Tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe’vasthānam. Roughly translated, it means: Then the Seer abides in its true nature. I am still learning the Sutras.

When “What If” Keeps You Stuck — Choosing Progress Over Perfection

I spent about ten minutes today wondering what I should do with a half-used stack of notecards that I haven’t looked at in four years. They’ve been sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust, and every time I’ve thought about tossing them, the same thought comes up: what if. And it’s that thought — ... Read More

When You Lose Your Rhythm — and Begin Again

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the ebb and flow of spirituality — how practice isn’t meant to be constant, linear, or perfect. And not long after sharing those words, I found myself lost again. Lost in life, in routine, and in my own practice. It’s been a while since I last posted, pinned, ... Read More

There Is a Season for Everything

In life, everything seems to ebb and flow — like the waves of the ocean, or the steady movement of the sun and moon. There are moments when I feel deeply rooted in my spirituality, when everything feels easier to navigate. Decisions come with more clarity. Pain feels more spacious. I remember how... Read More
