This forms your deepest connections with willpower, self-discipline, and self-esteem. The solar plexus chakra embodies your unlimited potential to transform thought or inertia into action.

A partner to the yang styles of yoga which consist of strong, dynamic, standing postures, yin yoga offers mostly seated, supine, or low-to the ground long, gentle stretches and holds.

We live in an age of unprecedented access to knowledge. Yet paradoxically, we are also becoming more rigid and narrow-minded.

Sometimes events force us to be adaptable, but through meditation we can appreciate the benefits of proactively being adaptable.

Living takes a balance, and while it is important to get involved and take the reins of your own life from time to time, there are also times you must listen to the universe, trust that everything that is supposed to come to you will come to you, and gracefully and fluidly “go with the flow.”

Fluidity… is the word that has been governing my existence from early beginnings. I think it’s been partly my upbringing and partly my personality where I’ve approached life with the belief that I get to morph the path I flow through.
