A minimalist piece as a tribute to Jake’s grandmother, Martha, who raised him and was his best friend. We used one of his favorite photos, with a touch of her love for weeping willows and the color green.

Power | Someone recently told me, “Stand in your power.” To me, standing in my power means to show up 100% myself. To stand tall and authentically in my strengths and weaknesses. To embrace all that I am and all that I will be. To boldly embrace my imperfections and realize they’re also my greatest assets and tools for teaching. To show up as me, imperfect and still completely whole. To bet on myself and know that in doing so, my life will unfold the exact way it’s supposed to with exactly what’s meant for me. To stand by and champion my beliefs, my people, and my goals. Someone recently told me, “Stand in your power.” That was the BEST and FINAL piece of advice I’ll ever take from them. #thoughtsfromoldphotos

I was digging through the photos uploaded from my most recent backup again (late 2021/early 2022).
Nobody thinks of this posture as a standout in class. It’s often rushed through and used as a break in your sequence to offer students a moment of chill before diving back into a more rigorous practice. Relief from the shoulders, a chance a catch your breath and calm your heart rate. I like to add it into the beginning of my class and tell students to “Let everything go. Feel grounded in your lower body and let your spine release. Think about anything you’re hanging onto from the day/week/life in general that isn’t serving you and, with every exhale, imagine it releasing down your spine and spilling onto the floor.” Hopefully that visually allows them to let go of anything silly and return to standing ready to face the rest of their practice. I’m just rambling now, but maybe take this as a reminder to build your own foundation from the ground up and make it strong. Create your own safe haven to come back to, release, surrender to yourself, and let go. Stand tall and face everything knowing you’ve got your own back. In the end, you’re complete. You’re all you need.
