Wow. What an incredible lineup of presenters for what are sure to be absolutely incredible conversations. And with more presenters still to be announced! I’m honored to be included and a *little* intimidated by the sheer amount of brilliance, wisdom, experience, and compassionate momentum for change that this Summit lineup represents. •
Registration just opened for the #evolutionofyoga Summit! Join us March 20-22 in Los Angeles for conversations and real, concrete steps forward towards a #yoga industry we can be proud of. I’ll be talking about Empowerment & Consent with an amazing, prolific team of other advocates, and we’ll be working alongside three other teams who are talking about Addressing Racism, Addressing Cultural Appropriation, and Increasing Accessibility.
•
If you can make it to LA, this conversation is not to be missed. ❤️

2019 has been a whirlwind year, that's for sure. So many of my relationships--with others, with myself, with concepts--look completely different from where I'm standing now than from where I was standing at this time last year. But rather than a sense that I've been standing still and watching the winds of change whip around me, it feels more like I gave in to the wind this year, let it carry me to a new vantage point, a new context to explore. I'm a little disheveled perhaps, but I'm grateful.
.
My relationship with time saw a profound shift this year. For so long, I was constantly feeling the push and pull of simultaneous urgency and waiting. So much to do, so little time, right? And there IS so much I want to do--a book that's REALLY crying to be let out of me, projects I want to devour to sustain myself, be it financially, physically, emotionally, spiritually.
.
Somehow it feels like I've been able to transmute time lately, as if the finite bounds of a second remain rigid, and yet within that container I've been able to find a whole minute, an hour, a millennium. The sense of panicked urgency has, at least for now, abated. Things are getting done, there's movement where there was previously stuckness, days feel full and mostly smooth, balanced. I'm working. I'm resting.
.
At the same time, this year has passed so quickly. I keep thinking, "Didn't we just do this?" and realizing that was a week, six months, a year ago. I don't feel like I'm waiting on anything--I'm doing just what I need to at just the right time. For any given event, at exactly the moment my impatience would kick in during the lead up, suddenly, it's here: I'm on that flight. I'm hitting "send." I'm climbing into bed.
.
I'm not sure if I've just gotten lucky, if my attempts to find more alignment in life have been working, or both. But I'm so grateful for this expansive time, this level of joyous productivity that isn't tied to my worth, just my desires and intentions.
.
I'm bringing some of this calm, time-bending energy to a new class & location, starting tonight! Join me at @numiyogacp in College Park Mondays at 8 p.m. for some deep breathing, gentle movement, and restoration.
