On Purpose. For years i thought I was clear on my purpose-the why am I here? I’d asked myself so many times and had found a few answers... yet when I landed on it, I felt a charge through my whole body, a sweaty palms, dry mouth, nauseous aliveness. It brought me back full circle to when I was a little kid, at home with my 5 siblings, even before I went to school. It all clicked for me: i was put on this planet to cause inclusion. ... By living and being ON purpose, I am fre...e to be who I am, letting others have their experience of me without needing to manage it. Living on purpose, intentionally, centered in my soul, it has a ripple effect i feel everywhere in my life. It makes choices more easeful, actions clearer, tough conversations instigated and there is less time spent in assessing, comparing or giving significance to bullshit outside of my control. ... Work isn’t as much work anymore ; it’s a different experience-it’s sharing of who I am. What does it mean for you to be on purpose? How do you know? Let us connect on that ... I look forward to being outdoors again to benefit @cancersupportrb .

The experience I am in as co-leader of 40 days Digital is this: Triumph is everywhere.Triumph doesn’t look a certain way-it simply IS. Not a competition, not a comparison or even visible necessarily...triumph can be felt, found, lived in all things. It’s accessible to anyone who chooses it as their lense. ... What I discovered from sharing Triumph and getting complete where things are not working for me (where is there drama/story and fear are my usual) - thx for the coaching... @baronbaptisteyoga , I inch my way toward Triumph. In kicking up my meditation several notches of late, I got clear space to stand in and be for what matters most to me. ... The result ? I am triumphant - not over but WITH everything and everyone. ... What’s your TOTD (Triumph of the Day)? Please share it with me. I am genuinely interested. ... #triumph #yogateacher #yogateachertraining #leadership #leader #whatmattersmost #40daystopersonalrevolution #40daysdigital #whybaptisteyoga #yogalife #discover ... styling: @lyonsdenpy @bethanyalyons triumph roars See more

Being homebound, I realize we’ve been gifted the BEST opportunity to be better humans-plain & simple. Doesn’t matter if it is for a day, a week or the foreseeable future: I’m clear I’ve paid a lot of money to have life altering training to learn how to lead the life I was meant to. Here is an equally amazing opportunity served up by our planet-todayno travel required! A chance to take stock of how my life is filled with distraction or avoidance or unnecessary action/consump...tion (different than thinking bout all the things I’m missing out on) and to sit in that. The slowing down required (after the frantic TP run and grocery store scenes like in TWD) and the being with, in closer quarters to boot, those who are closest and who matter most to meand how much patience and empathy that can take at times. Now’s the chance to LIVE my yoga-like really. Oneness, unity-albeit mandated- this has the potential of being a miracle in the makingeven though it doesn’t seem that way. As a former professional stay-at-home parent (my favorite and hardest job), it took me a while to realize that the amount of tasks i HAD to get done were in direct correlation to the amount of yelling at my people I did Here are a few things to consider that have been life (guilt and regret) savers on my 2 decade path of being a homemaker: 1-Less is More-not a popular thing to say, I know but it rings true to this day. Slow the eff down. When f I try to pack in too much, my energy is depleted, my attention is divided and I am frustrated by the requests that come my way (hence the mood, the yelling and the spiral that follows). 2-Pick 2-4 priorities that must be completed today- and Complete them. 3-Move your body (in whatever way is possible in the now-that means with the space, attire, body and tools you have. It may be that your 1 hour body break is broken into 4X15 minutes- let that be OK). 4-Be with your people. See them. Listen to them. Less fixing, more acceptance. Bottomline: Do Good. And if it hasn’t been going so well, begin again. And Do Good. Trust that you are Good. How are you living your yoga today? If you’re struggling, I’m with you in the trenches. More to come. See more

Touch is incredibly powerful. And hand holding is among my favorites (a close second to hugging , let’s be real!). ... With the current state of emergency, I was reminded last night by @lightyearleadership that i can still touch people in many ways: with my words, a whole-face smile, a glance that holds for a beat longer that says:I see you, a pause to really listen to what you are sharing with me, or simply standing with you side by side. You get to touch people by bei...ng and sharing of yourself, your presence. ... The world needs your brand of magic-your touch. ... How will you touch someone today? ... : B.

Stop forcing. Stop looking around and comparing yourself. You are right where you need to be ... Where in your life are you creating struggle for yourself? Comparison to the way I think things should be puts such a strain on my relationship with what’s right here for me. And more importantly whom is in front of me. When I’m there I stead of here, meditation brings me back. It anchors me. It’s also a great way to begin a class. Slow is powerful. Meditate today. Like rig...ht now. Set the timer. Sit your butt down and do the thing. And Slow. It.

Come as you are-let it be the starting point. Don’t need the right mindset, clothes, set up. Simply show up. As you are. That’s a great place to start. I spoke of this in class today. If I try to skip over radically including all part of my being as my starting point, I feel stuck, there’s no change it seems. Why is that? What I’ve discovered is that the stepping into action to change, grow etc, if I have not deeply-like really-accepted and surrendered where I’m at, all t...he intention/goal setting in the world is avoidanceI’m not speaking of resignation to I guess that’s all there is-on the contrary, it’s to honor what I’ve done that’s gotten me this far, my platform from which to leap from-that’s where my work begins. Shame, comparison, excuses, all the reasons why are less than helpful-getting flat and honoring where I’m at is where I get to start from, draw from the skin in and from deep in my bones, I begin to expand out. Where you are is where it begins. ... How do you recognize, reconcile and speak to where your students are at with a full room so they feel included, supported and thriving.
