Off the MatWelcome to Still Point Sundays Hello Reader, There is a quiet moment right now just at the edge of winter and spring. The light is shifting. The days are stretching. And yet, something in you may feel slower. This is not something to fix.This is something to honor. Nature does not rush this transition and neither should you. This is your Still Point.A space where nothing is fully blooming yet, but everything is gently awakening beneath the surface. If your energy feels different,...

This Week Off the Mat Let’s clear something up. Yoga was never about touching your toes. It was never about the “full expression.” And it was never about getting it right. Somewhere along the way, it turned into performance. Women come to me thinking… They’re not flexible enough… They’re behind… They’re doing it wrong… The yoga industry has been selling you performance. Perfect lines.Full expressions.Flexibility as proof of worth. And quietly, women internalized it. “If I can’t do the full...

This Week Off the Mat I joined my pottery class one week late. I didn’t even know about it until after the first session.I could have said, “Oh well. I missed it.” Instead, something inside me said, really? So what. It’s pottery.It’s art.It’s for fun. And even if it weren't, would missing one class stop me from beginning? No. What struck me most wasn’t the clay. It was being a beginner again. Not knowing where to put my coat.Where my bag went.How the wheel worked.What tools to gather. There...

Hello Reader, This week I have been talking about believing in yourself.About stopping the explaining.About trusting your own authority. Sometimes believing in yourself looks like this: Not saying yes. Not rescheduling your hair appointment.Not canceling your yoga class.Not squeezing in one more thing. Sound familiar? “Yes, I can do that.”“Yes, give me ten minutes.”“Yes, I’ll be right there.” Those yeses add up. Overwhelm.Stress.Resentment. Supporting the people we love matters.But we have to...

Hi Reader, I love an unpopular opinion especially when it goes against the norms of your own industry. So here’s one of mine. You’ve probably heard people say that support, rest, or care has to be something you “figure out on your own.” Here’s my hot take: I don’t think that’s true. I don’t think we’re meant to stumble into support by accident.And I don’t think it should feel like luck when we finally find someone who helps us slow down, breathe, and feel steady again. What does matter is...

Hi Reader, Last week we spoke about the nervous system reset, small pauses, gentle breath, and ways to slow down in the middle of your real life. I loved hearing from so many of you. So this week, I want to follow up with something simple and meaningful. Because pauses are beautiful…and practicing them together can be even more supportive. Introducing the Restored Group Club I’m so happy to finally share the details with you. Restored Group Club is a virtual group designed around one thing: ✨...

Hi Reader, When life gets busy or overwhelming, it’s not that we forget what to do. We forget where to return. Your nervous system is always looking for an anchor something steady it can come back to when things feel loud, rushed, or uncertain. Without one, we default to pushing, distracting, or powering through. So today, I want to offer you a simple pause practice not to fix anything, but to help you reconnect with yourself in small, doable ways. A Simple Nervous System Anchor (10 minutes...

Hi Reader, As we step into January, I want to say something that may feel a little different: This month doesn’t need big promises. January doesn’t have to be about breaking out, pushing forward, or setting over-the-top intentions. For me, it’s always been a quieter threshold, a time to slow down, listen, and gently reflect on the past twelve months. Not all in one day.Not with urgency.But slowly, with space. This is a season of easing in. Instead of asking what you’re going to fix, improve,...

Hi Reader, As the year comes to a close, I want to offer you a different kind of reflection, one rooted in celebration, not judgment. Before you think about goals or resolutions, I invite you to simply remember. Take out your calendar, month by month, and look back at the year you lived: Places you went Events you attended Work you created Conversations that mattered Moments of joy And yes, moments of concern or sadness All of it belongs. All of it makes up your year. So often we forget what...
