Majestic Teachers
November is the month of gratitude. We are celebrating our loving teachers and amazing community. You can just feel the love and joy of these teachers flowing out into the universe.
Yoga
For a long time, I believed that meditating once a day for 10 or 20 minutes was enough — and if I skipped a day or two, it was no big deal. Sometimes I even convinced myself that running counted as meditation.
When the world feels wild and noisy, remember this: calm isn’t found by escaping the chaos — it’s found by returning to your breath.
Grateful Friday
Gratitude touches us in ways that words can barely hold.
It softens what feels heavy, steadies what feels uncertain, and opens our hearts to the quiet beauty woven into every moment.
Gratitude has a way of settling the soul—softly, steadily—bringing contentment and grace into the present moment. When life feels heavy or my heart begins to drift, gratitude becomes my anchor, guiding me back to a place of calm, clarity, and quiet joy.
Gratitude transforms overwhelm into awareness. With a single breath, we can shift into peace, clarity, and a more open-hearted way of being.
There is such beauty in life’s simple pleasures — the quiet, magical moments that make your heart overflow like pink champagne. Gratitude helps us see what’s already here… and reminds us that happiness often blooms quietly in the spaces between.
Each week, I take a quiet moment to pause and reflect — to notice the small things that hold meaning in the middle of it all. These Grateful Friday reflections are my way of practicing presence, gratitude, and grace, even when life feels a little messy.
Even on the hardest days, gratitude is a doorway back to peace. This week, let’s explore how one ancient mantra can help us return to the quiet joy within. 🌸
When life feels heavy, gratitude helps us remember the beauty still here — in our breath, our growth, and our connection. A gentle reminder to take it day by day.
Meditation
For a long time, I believed that meditating once a day for 10 or 20 minutes was enough — and if I skipped a day or two, it was no big deal. Sometimes I even convinced myself that running counted as meditation.
Sometimes all we need is a moment — or a step — to return to ourselves.
When the world feels wild and noisy, remember this: calm isn’t found by escaping the chaos — it’s found by returning to your breath.
Shifting from fear to love is a lifelong practice — a daily choice that begins with awareness. Fear shouts to keep us safe, while love whispers to help us grow. Fear builds walls; love opens doors.

Recipes
This soup is particularly powerful in healing what ails you. Taken in small doses your skin will be clearer, your digestion smoother, and your spirit lifted. Wonderful as an in-between meal or late afternoon snack. Additionally, this soup is a joyful and light way to start your day. Good for all Doshas.
As we say goodbye to summer, we bring her bounty with us into the fall and winter. Local organic pickled cucumbers and onions, varieties of sweet peppers prepared and canned fill my pantry with kitchen magic.
This soup is for spring. Spring is is for so many things: flowers budding, walks in the woods, breathing in deeply, and reestablishing connection, intimacy.
Feel strong in your heart, mind and body. Yoga for every body. Hatha yoga. Meditation. Mindfulness.
Sweet Red Pepper Relish
