Winter will be here in a week! That means it's time to start getting comfy, warm up your atmosphere and illuminate your soul. Mindfully choosing that during the chaos of holidays to slow down & reflect on the year. One of the happiest populations in the world, are the Danish and each year they partake in Hygee...it’s a Danish word loosely translated as cozy contentment. It’s an important part of the Danish world view — appropriate to Denmark’s climate (and our winter), hygge is about hunkering down: It’s all candles, blazing fires, warm blankets and fuzzy slippers, reading nooks (called hyggekrog), comfortable leggings (hyggebukser), wollen socks (hyggesokker) and tea.
Since I've always been an organizer, from my tidy room as a kid to my career as a Meeting & Event planner, it made sense that when I received my Yoga Therapy certification a few years ago (800 hours to compliment my 200 hour teaching) to use it to organize my health & the health of my clients. With a sprinkling of real life traditions (such as Hygee) to the ancient practices of Yoga & Ayurveda my "off the mat" challenges began....a monthly routine and refresh to simplify staying ahead our health #preventionmedicine. You can learn more about Ayurveda, my monthly challenges, and take the body type quiz here.
Have you already been practicing Hygee? Now you have a word for it or an excuse to cuddle up and watch another movie!!

What's going into your skin & inhaling into our lungs, ?
Every time we choose something toxic free, we are choosing to reduce the exposure to toxic chemicals for our families. Which means we care about the health & future of our children and the earth. The lotion and soaps you use are absorbing into your skin which means running through your bloodstream. How about what you smell from self care products to candles to air fresheners? What we smell is processed in the olfactory bulb in the brain, which sorts sensation into perception, is part of the limbic system -- which is the part of the brain vital to our behavior, mood and memory. Essential Oils are great tools to to support our emotions, behavior, motivation and long term memory as well as helping us avoid toxic alternatives that could be altering them. In this month's Essential Oils class, you'll learn how you can mindfully take steps to refresh your self care routine with simple ingredients for long term health of our body & wallets!

Do you know the affects of antibiotics on your gut? It wipes out EVERYTHING....good and bad bacteria. That's why prevention is key...we want to try to avoid antibiotics and only use if we're desperate. Sanitizing your hands often, taking vitamin d, fish oil, eating healthy, avoiding air fresheners and toxic self care products are all ways to make mindful choices that are supporting your gut health and thus your immune system. Did you know that OREGANO is considered "nature's antibiotic"? Make sure to grab your bottle of INNER DEFENSE, so are prepared with a blend of Oregano plus the many benefits of cinnamon, rosemary, clove, lemon & eucalyptus should you feel anything coming on (eg. cough, stuffy nose, etc). The name says it all - Inner Defense. Check out what makes it such a powerhouse supplement.

It's that time of year! The time of year when I listen to nothing but holiday music, wear fuzzy socks, drink everything warm, overheat my car seat --- oh yea, and go shopping!
Over the past year I've been practicing my yoga off the mat "aparigraha").....this translates to non-hoarding (1 of the 5 yamas). Yamas are 1 of the 8 limbs of yoga....most know these 4 other limbs....(1) poses/asana, (2) meditation, (3) breathing exercises and (4) mindfulness (Learn all 8 here). So I've been getting rid of old stuff and am in the process of renewing my wardrobe, which is really just a reset for my mind, my energy and the way I choose to show up in the world. The way in which we dress says a lot about how we view ourselves and how we wish to be viewed, and it is normal that it evolves over time. Like a snake sheds its skin, we must also release the versions of ourselves that are outdated and start fresh.
I don't usually take advantage of Cyber Monday deals, however this year is different. I'm in the market for revamping my wardrobe. It's easy for me to invest in business-related items (courses, website, trainings to help me grow and FOOD that makes me feel good) but when it comes to adorning myself, there has been a block and 2021 was spent clearing that out and donating lots of stuff to a local women's shelter.
Our attire has an impact on our mood and how we show up. Since Yoga and Pilates has me living in leggings, I feeling relaxed and cozy most of the time. What I wear has become just as important as what I eat.....I can feel the difference between wearing something cheap and toxic as much as I can tell when I eat poorly. Plus, just as much as I enjoy buying from local farmers & shops....I like buying sustainably sourced goods that support people I know and I feel a connection to.
December "Mindfulness" is a reminder that in all of the chaos of the holiday season to stop, take a breath and find ways that you can make changes in your daily life to be more mindful.
Just like small observations from November gratitude can have a massive impact on your overall happiness, encourage a better quality of sleep and can have a huge impact on your mental health. So, can making mindful actions on what we do daily propel us forward toward our ultimate purpose. Mindfulness off of the mat is a practice for mindfulness on the mat that will ultimately make it possible to benefit from meditation and someday even limb #7 & 8!
Here's 4 ways to practice Mindfulness with me this December...
