Kundalini Yoga and Meditation gifts you with actions necessary for these times, to begin again, breathe again, balance again. When we apply a particular mantra along with the physical aspect of posture, we activate the breath automatically, helping to bring inner peace and resolution.

Spring encourages transformation like a peach tree that goes from barren, to lush and full of leaves, to blooming beautiful flowers, to welcoming the juiciest plumpest peach. These changes happen within us as well.

I encourage you to look within yourself and ask; what are my values? What growth and transformations need to take place during this time of renewal in order to align with my values. What do you want to carry with you and what do you want to lay down and leave to rest?

Spring has a way of waking us up with an inner restlessness—not just in body and mind, but in spirit. The longer days, the social gatherings, the crescendoing natural growth of new life all seem to echo the same invitation: remember who you are and begin again.

This seasonal shift often calls people back to what matters most, especially those in a time of personal transformation. In my work with people across many identities, life paths, and phases of growth, I’ve noticed a recurring theme: people aren’t just seeking answers… they’re seeking alignment. They want to live intentionally, in a way that honors all parts of their life.

Spring is the season where we plant the seeds of those noble aspirations we want to bring to fruition, and begin to nurture them until they grow into strong and resilient manifestations.

Spring. It's both beautiful and tumultuous. It's a time of new beginnings, planting seeds. It's also a time of unpredictable rhythms, especially in the mountains. It feels pretty comparable to what I know of life as a mother, especially what it has felt like as a newish working mom. Motherhood within itself is an uncontrollable, unpredictable wave.

So here’s a gentle invitation to return to your own inner East - to reconnect with the spark of your soul’s calling and step into the next chapter of your sacred work – whether that’s with your family, career, retirement, personal growth or a community or creative project.

Thresholds are liminal places, portals, spaces through which we're moving, perhaps from one phase to another, one choice to another. Kemi Nekvapil,Laura McKowen and I teach collaboratively once a year, precious time to be in each others' fields; this year we're coming to True Nature. 

Adopt a garden bed!

Spring is not just a season—it’s a remembering. A call from the earth to stretch out of our shells, crack open with sunlight, and trust the wild intelligence of growth. The crocus doesn't ask permission to bloom. The river doesn't apologize for thawing. They simply follow what is true. And so can we.

What I love about Ayurveda is how it encourages us to witness the natural rhythms within. Spring is that magical time between winter and summer, when days grow longer and nights become shorter.

Spring is a season of pushing and tugging. A season of transition that surfaces the past and present, meshed together so closely that we cannot see them separately.

What do you value? What do you really want? If we look beneath the surface, of all our external pursuits, we all want the same three things: lasting happiness, knowledge/awareness and immortality. 

As we make our way into 2024, what matters most to you? What is the currency of your life? What do you value above all else? How do you spend TIME and WHY? 

If I was alone, I probably would have turned back but on that day, I was hiking for Deva. Her favorite thing in the world to do is hike and I wasn’t going to keep her from reaching the summit. 

Allow yourself to be immersed in the luxurious notes of our Aromatic Milk & Honey Ritual Bath, the invigorating harmony of the Aromatic Steam Shower, and the celestial joy of the iSun Celestial Aromatherapy option.

December brings us dreams and heart healing. Mercury goes retrograde with the truth-seeking Sagittarius new moon. Winter officially begins with the December solstice, starting the new year in the dark and stillness. The Cancer full moon invites love and nurturing in at the height of the holiday busyness. Lots is happening, but there is an abundance of watery heart energy to sustain us.

You may feel an internal pull to slow down, go inward and rest, yet our calendar year is ramping up with social engagements, spending money, and the end of off season. We are receiving a forceful push out of the internal. How do we navigate both?

How can we be grateful for the gifts and the challenges that were passed on to us through generations of ancestry?

How does one connect with their higher self? Many believe they need a special mantra, breathing technique, teaching, or guru but is this true? Do we need something to embody our true state of being or is it simply a choice we need to make?
