Wow. Almost 6 months since my last entry! Sorry guys!
I could beat myself up for totally failing at meeting my New
Years proposal of doing “one post each week for the whole year” but that would
be, after my latest adventure, kind of silly, a bit ridiculous and not at all
helpful in terms of my overall evolution as a human. The truth is, I’ve been
BUSY, and I’m not using that as an excuse but in all honesty I’ve been grinding
thru some stuff and writing a blog post a ... Continue reading ...
Time is flying this January. In a few short days we’ll be
square on the start of February and that means, only 11 more months of 2013
left! EEK! I hope this month, despite it’s speed has brought you success in the
goals intentions that you set and that the tone of 2013 is proving to be
fruitful!
This last post for January is going to be a bit of a
‘round-up’ post, one that intends to tie the previous 3 together and helps firm
up the ideas that I touched upon. In genera... Continue reading ...
I read a lot of books. Well, I START a lot of books, become completely fascinated by the notion of the book and then I go on a researching tear to find out as much as I can about that first thread. I DO finish the majority of books that I start, just in a less than typical timeline. There are, however, a few books that hook me and keep me locked within their pages and their pages alone until every last word is absorbed. These books have a special place on my bookshelf and call my attention ti... Continue reading ...
The human body is an incredibly well designed “machine.” It
responds to our mental cues without a moment’s hesitation and for the most part
completes the actions that we require it to with ease. It also takes care of
millions of other functions without us ever asking for it or ever having to
know, its done it from the moment we came to life and will continue unti... Continue reading ...
I’ve noticed in the past few weeks that several of my
clients are expressing outright that they are embarrassed about various activities
I have them do. I don’t typically encourage my clients to do overly weird things when we’re working out nor
do I have them partake in loud, obnoxious or otherwise weird workouts. In fact, the workouts that I design for my client... Continue reading ...
If it feels like you're having a
rough go right now or you’re overwhelmed and lack-lustre, you might be juggling
too many plates. The majority of us spend a HUGE chunk of our waking time in
stressful jobs and lives, we have a huge list of external and internal
expectations that leave us constantly reaching for the next gold ring and we
end up feeling straight-up exha... Continue reading ...
Gorilla Pose (Padahastasana)
Gorilla is a deep forward bend, deeper than Standing Forward
Fold (Uttanasa) because our hands are slipped beneath the feet (Pada = Foot,
Hast = Hand.) Gorilla is excellent for releasing tension in the back and

We spend a lot of time sitting in awkward positions hovering
over keyboards and steering wheels. We spend even more time occupying awkward
positions in our minds; these physical and mental contortions result in
tensions held in out shoulders, back, neck and gut. Headaches, kinked necks and
stomach upset make everything more stressful; enter the vicious cycle. This
flow s... Continue reading ...
Often our lives become a repeat of yesterday, last month, the previous season, yesteryear with minor shimmers and smudges that remind us that time is in fact moving forward. It's these shimmers and smudges that coax us to linger in front of the mirror and assess. Whether it's a shimmer or smudge it causes us to recognize that something is different than we expected it to be and when the ether finally has our attention we can take stock and decide if we like what we see or if we don't. This ... Continue reading ...

My Intention
There's A LOT of health and wellness information out in the world just floating around trying to sway us this way and that; offering us the cure but really rocking the balance. It's confusing at times and I find that I need to do constant research to separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak.
This Journal exists to keep my research, thoughts and findings in one place so I can continue to hone my own intuition and hopefully offer some inspiration to you!
