Balance the mind with a variation of Kirtan Kriya before practicing a sensory meditation called ”prana hands.” You’ll start to attune your awareness to subtle energy in a powerful way. This is a great practice for those who prefer moving meditations or mantra to focus the mind.

I love the golden hour time of day just before sunset and my evening meal. The body begins to settle and transition from the activity of the day to the slowness of evening, but sometimes it can take a while for the mind to catch up. This is when I like to get quiet, take out my props or meditation cushion and enjoy a much-needed tonic of meditation and restoration.

This is one of my favorite breath practices that stimulates the pituitary gland (the master gland) and supports physical and mental balance. With regular practice, you can retake the driver’s seat of your internal command center and regulate your emotional experiences for healing on all levels.

Release and put down the weight of the world and let yourself be held in this yin/restorative fusion practice. Don’t let the restorative part fool you! You’ll practice some deep stretching with pigeon, twists, and forward folds — but by utilizing extra support we can send a subconscious signal to the mind that ”all is well” and relax deeper into the muscular/tension release.

I can’t believe it’s day 7 already!
This meditation was purely channeled in the moment, and takes you on a journey to realize how incredible and expansive you are. Some of my greatest realizations in yoga happened when I was able to move beyond the day-to-day human “stuff” and really see myself through the eyes of the Universe. You ha...

I’ll tell you a secret: I’ve taken a nap almost every day this week. It started accidentally — falling asleep after my yoga practice. Then it became more intentional. I lie on my mat, open the windows, let the bird songs and humid air flow in, hold my favorite crystal of the day, and let myself drift off. My body naturally wakes up after about ...

This is one of my favorite breath practices to support the nervous system — especially during periods of anxiety or uncertainty. It’s simple, but also challenging. The challenging aspect is letting the mind take a backseat long enough to spend several minutes on breathing.

How is everyone doing today? The collective energy is anxious and chaotic, but the SO HUM meditation and mantra has helped me a lot. Anytime it feels intense, I just close my eyes and breathe SO on the inhale, HUM on the exhale. I’ve also been incorporating it in my personal yoga practices.
