“If it’s not a heck yes, then it’s a no.” OR “I set boundaries for a more balanced life.” Sometimes when I look ahead at my calendar, both work and social, I become overwhelmed and dread how many things I have committed to. I was conditioned from a very young age that “good girls” don’t say […]

April mantra of the month: I let go of what no longer serves me. Queue Frozen theme song “Let it go, let it GOOO!” It’s officially spring, we are officially unmasked, vaccine passports are becoming a memory and we are finally allowed to gather with our friends and family without fear of sending grandma to […]

“I am one with nature. We are all connected.” March is an awakening: I notice the buds on the tree in my front yard my heart sings ‘spring is coming’! After the seemingly long and restful winter, before our eyes things are changing, coming alive. We eat plants and some animals, but don’t give much […]

I love myself, just the way I am. Love: a concept that has inspired music and art and theatre; a concept that has changed lives and broken hearts and moved mountains. Love is so bountiful, so endless, so abundant. There are so many different types of love: romantic love, love for your children, love for […]

In case you were looking for permission, here it is: Go slow and be steady. Have patience.  Moving into the month of January, we are often rejuvenated by the thoughts of starting anew.

Because who doesn’t need more laughter right now!? Let’s be honest, it’s been a tough stretch for a lot of us. The politics, the controversy, the lack of social connection, the alienation amongst groups of friends and families – so many of us have been struggling. My offering this November is that we laugh a […]

I have an attitude of gratitude. This mantra is not new or creative; I’m sure you’ve heard it in many yoga classes, and on internet memes. It might even seem cliche for the month of October! I believe that everything that brings goodness and joy into life, starts with a seed of gratitude. Everything. Gratitude […]

This month we wish to focus on self care at Yoga Generation. While the summer can be beautiful and full, it can also lead to burn out. The summer often consists of vacations, longer days, shorter sleeps, less routine, and sometimes poor nutrition (beach side beers, anyone?). The energy of the summer is bright, full and […]

Energy is an elusive thing for most of us. Getting us through a regular day of expected productivity, the reservoir of life-force seems to drain out.  From ordering a good, strong cuppa from Starbucks to carrying cans of RedBull in your purse, the world is ready to spend every day for a tinsy bit of […]
