Because we cannot scrub our inner body, we need to learn a few skills to help cleanse our tissues, organs, mind & gut.
There's lots of Spring cleaning traditions all around us...from spring cleaning our homes, to celebrating Holi, it's the season of Lent, we fast for Passover, Ramadan, etc. How do you bring on Spring?
For the past 6 years I've done various cleanses to rid accumulation in my mind, emotions, body, gut....depends what I feel is no longer serving me or weighing me down. Besides my annual gut cleanse (an Ayurvedic tradition) that I'm planning to do this April, I've already begun cleaning out my Yoga & Pilates spaces to get ready for Lake or Paddleboard Yoga that will start this May.

Before we officially kick off Yoga at the Lake, let's take this April to learn all about the Ayurvedic seasonal practice of Cleansing. Just a reminder...Yoga poses are the 3rd limb of Yoga....there's 7 other limbs to help strengthen your yoga practice & fully experience healing benefits for yourself. "Saucha" is part of the Niyamas (2nd of the 8 limbs of yoga). It traditionally translates to purity or cleanliness of the body and our living space but there is also an aspect of internal cleanliness to it.
Here's 4 ways to cleanse this April...

"Your diet is not only what you eat. It's what you watch, listen to, read, the people you hang around....be mindful of the things you put into your body emotionally, spiritually, physically." ~Buddha
Webster's dictionary definition for Diet is:
- food and drink regularly provided or consumed
- habitual nourishment - something provided or experienced repeatedly
In Ayurveda (the sister science of yoga and "off the mat" practice) diet means what we do daily which is closer to definition #2 from Webster. We all eat daily so that makes sense but a “good” diet—is about nourishment on every level. It involves relationships with family, friends, generational pasts, nature (the environment), our bodies, our community, and the world.
While my monthly challenges are meant to cover our daily emotions, mental health, physical body and spiritual connections, this April I'm gonna focus on gut health and invite you to check out this month's FREE class A Healthy Gut for Healthy Skin so you can learn more & take action to correct what's going on inside of you that perhaps is showing up on the outside of you as itchy, irritable, acne, dull or aging skin.
A great way to mindfully practice what we do daily is through a Yoga routine "on the mat" to prep us for how to handle life "off the mat". When you join me for Yoga this month, you'll have free access to my 21-day elimination "off the mat" challenge to take actionable steps towards "spring cleaning" your gut.

“You never know how strong your are until being strong is your only choice." ~Bob Marley
Many of us are living with fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, skin issues or even migraines!
You may not realize this but the amount of toxins in our bodies has reached dangerous levels. One of the 8-limbs of yoga is "mindfulness". With consistent practice of yoga, we can be more in-tune with our bodies, minds & emotions. When we're able to truly listen to our bodies we will notice the signs of something being off. If left untreated these smaller issues (such as those listed above) can lead to something bigger. People are being diagnosed with autoimmune diseases on a daily basis with toxin buildup as one of the many root causes.
The sad truth is that most people accept this poor quality of life as their new norm.
Ughhhh!
What once started out as a class focused on the stretching & strengthening of poses and calories burned turned into a mindful practice "off the mat" that has helped me make better choices throughout the days, months & years to eliminate everyday toxins that cause many mental, physical and emotional problems. The 5,000 year old ancient practice of Yoga helps us heal from the inside out. It changed my life and I LOVE sharing it with others!!

So many people put such a strong emphasis on how they look to the outside world, but neglect the most important component to external beauty which is internal beauty!

"When you let go of who you are, you become who you might be." ~Rumi
Yay....Spring is just 2 weeks away!!
In Ayurveda, the ancient practice of Yoga off the Mat (aka science of life) we follow the seasons changes for healthy guidance & inspiration.
Transformation and change are both part of life and nature and its seasons constantly remind us that these occur naturally. We must go through all phases in order to grow and although we might resist change, it will happen regardless. If we become in tune with nature, we can learn to flow more freely with the currents of life.
SPRING – THE SEASON OF FRESH NEW BEGINNINGS
This is a period of transition, from the darker winter days to the bright spring vibes. As nature begins to come to life, so do we. It is a period of transformation for us also, and it’s not uncommon for people to shift careers, start new creative projects, end relationships or begin new friendships, during this time. To support this energy, it is a great idea to follow in nature’s footsteps and get a makeover also. It’s all about a fresh new approach to everything.
So, if you want to reach your healthy goals, you must shed your older habits and limiting beliefs in order to grow in the journey. Whether you're looking to have less stress, lower blood pressure, lose weight, have more energy....or whatever it is you want to change, you must be willing to let go of who you are — your fears, harmful habits, negative self-talk, etc. At the end of the day, you are the only one holding yourself back from reaching your potential.
It’s in the journey where you find happiness. It’s in the journey where you become what you dream to be through growing....just like the seeds we plant in spring.
A weekly Yoga routine is a practice for life (aka off the mat and where all our stress, fear, set-backs and growth are gonna happen). Allowing the mind and body a chance to align by following the 8-limbs of yoga are the steps needed to water the plant of you! How many of these limbs have been apart of your previous yoga practice? See all 8-limbs below:
1- Yamas - ethical rules to remain in control
2- Niyamas - practices to help you be good to yourself.
3- Asana - poses to move you and refresh you physically
4- Pranayama - breathwork to help refresh you mentally
5- Pratyahara - withdrawal of the senses
6- Dharana - practice of mindfulness
7- Dhyana - meditation can be reached with the help of 1-6 above
8- Samadhi- bliss and ultimate goal of Yoga. What we are seeking is already inside of us.
