Have you ever looked at your computer and realized you have more tabs open than you thought?
That happened to me recently while I was setting up for an online yoga class. I usually have my Zoom screen open, but for some reason I hit a button and suddenly every tab that was open on my computer showed up on the screen.
And I was mortified.
There they were: all the tabs, all the reminders, all the things I had been moving between. But it also made me laugh, because it was such a clear picture of what my mind can feel like sometimes.
Busy. Full. Jumping from one thing to the next.
Just like a computer with too many tabs open.

Prepare for a mindful transition into 2026! Ditch the rigid resolutions and try this 3-step process: celebrate your "brags" from 2025, express deep gratitude for your experiences, and map out your heart's dreams for the year ahead. Start your new year with clarity, joy, and intentionality.
Have you ever noticed how rushing from one thing to the next leaves you feeling scattered and tired? Sometimes, the best tool for finding your center isn’t doing more—it’s simply pausing. There is a quiet, gentle power in the pause. It’s a chance to catch your breath, check in with yourself, and invite calm into the mess of the day.
Is it hard to get up and go to yoga class? Of course it can be. It can be hard to set the alarm, leave the house, make your way to class, or deal with the technology that allows you to show up online. But it can also be hard to wake up feeling stiff, sore, tight, uncomfortable, or in pain. Both are hard. So sometimes we have to choose our hard.
Have you ever noticed how often the word "trying" shows up in everyday conversation?
"I'm trying to get healthy."
"I'm trying to go to yoga class."
"I'm trying to make changes in my life."
It sounds harmless. And most of the time, we say it because we are being honest. We are busy. We are human. We are balancing a lot. We want to make changes, and we may not feel like we are doing them perfectly yet.
But sometimes, that one little word can quietly take us out of the action.
Do you spend a lot of your time apologizing? It can become such a common habit that we barely notice we are doing it. We apologize when we are late. We apologize before asking a question. We apologize when we need a moment, when we do not understand something, when we cough, when we take up space, or when we simply show up as human. Of course, there are times when an apology is appropriate. A sincere apology can be meaningful and healing.
When you are dealing with pain, injury, surgery, or a difficult season in your body, it is easy to think, "I can't do yoga right now."
Maybe you do not feel strong. Maybe your confidence has been shaken. Maybe your body is asking for more support than it used to.
But gentle yoga and chair yoga are not only for the days when you feel strong, flexible, or ready to do more. The beauty of this practice is that it can meet you in the season you are actually living.
Today, I want to share Kelly's story.
Kelly is a longtime student of mine, and she shared how much chair yoga meant to her during a time when she was dealing with back pain, hip pain, and then a hip replacement. In her words, when she could not do anything else, chair yoga was the only thing she could do.
That is powerful.
Who was right? The student who missed class because something important had to be handled at home? Or the student who told her husband, "I need the car today," and found a way to get herself to class? It sounds like a riddle, but the answer is simple: they were both right.
This week, I want to use these two student stories as a reminder that self-care does not always look the same from one person to the next. Sometimes honoring yourself means showing up for gentle yoga class. Sometimes honoring yourself means recognizing that life truly got in the way and choosing not to beat yourself up for it.
"We need to talk." Did your heart rate just spike? Learn why the way we start a conversation can trigger a "fight or flight" response—and how mindful communication can change the outcome. This week, I'm sharing the secret to initiating talks that build connection instead of anxiety. Plus, get the inside scoop on my upcoming Meditation Course designed for your real, busy life.

We often think of authenticity as something we just are, but in reality, being yourself is a choice you make in every single moment. Whether it’s answering "How are you?" or stepping into a familiar role, are you showing up as your true self or wearing a mask? This week, explore what it means to live with integrity and the courage it takes to be exactly who you are.
