"These yoga classes are instant reminders that the only constant in life is change! I cherish each class and the students who allow me to spend time with them."
This holiday season, the words I kept repeating to myself were “good enough.” Good enough, as in, who needs perfect? I recently read Big Magic, by Elizabeth Gilbert, about living a creative life. In one section, she writes about her creative process
My favorite yoga pose is uttanasana. This pose was for a long time my least favorite, in all of its manifestations, and I resisted it. Why? It revealed where in my body I held darkness.
I have been really enjoying teaching in recent weeks. It can be a balancing act wearing both hats of teacher and studio owner, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
A couple of weeks ago, I posed the question in our recent newsletter: Why is Source Yoga your Yoga Home? I had some wonderful responses, and I wanted to publish a couple of them here, from two students who call Source their Yoga Home.
I invite you to bring Beginner’s Mind to your practice and to your life this month. What would it be like if you didn’t have to get it right? If you didn’t have to be perfect?

But I also have always known that I wanted to expand that beyond the confines of the studios and into the greater community around us. A couple of years ago, I was looking at how I wanted Source Yoga to give to our larger community. From our very first year in business, we offered Thanksgiving donation classes, giving the proceeds to local service organizations, and donated regularly to many local schools and other non-profits. We have offered scholarships for workshops and events provided by our “Source Yoga Scholarship Fund,” but I kept asking myself, “How can we continue to make an even bigger difference?”
I have a confession to make. I don’t love Savasana. I know. Shocking. I think it’s the whole idea that I am “supposed to” let go. Sit in meditation and watch my thoughts arise, linger, and pass through? Sure. But lie there at the end of a yoga practice and...
