Hi Reader,

In this month’s newsletter I shared a short video with three of my favorite cooling, restorative poses:

• Bound Angle Pose
• Legs Up the Wall
• Savasana

These are simple, flexible postures—you can stay in them for just a few minutes or linger for 10–15 minutes when you have the time.

I love them because they invite surrender.

When we’re constantly giving to everyone else, we can lose sight of our own needs—and even forget parts of who we are. With a supportive practice that balances our emotions and softens our body, we remember.

We remember all of who we are.
We remember the “she” who lives inside—beneath the roles, the responsibilities, and the noise.

When you awaken to her, you begin to understand her. And in that moment, you come home to yourself.

These three poses are a pathway home:

🌿 Bound Angle Pose – Soothes the hips, opens the heart, and can be done with a bolster, pillow, or simply lying back. Perfect in the morning before your first sip of tea or coffee, or as a gentle travel companion.

🌿 Legs Up the Wall – A cooling inversion that helps you see life from a new perspective. All you need is a soft pillow for your head. It’s perfect after long days, long drives, or long flights.

🌿 Savasana – The art of “doing nothing” that gives so much back. Try it before you start your day and you may be surprised—it offers a different kind of rest than nighttime sleep, a deep, conscious stillness.

Even 10 minutes—morning or evening—can shift your entire day.

Your nervous system settles, your mind clears, and when calm, everything moves with more ease. You become fully present—whether at your desk, with friends, or simply with yourself.

Here’s your reminder: you don’t need to wait for a retreat or a free afternoon to find balance. You can begin now, right where you are.

With ease and presence,
