A group of construction workers are drilling in front of my doctor’s office and they barked at me as I walked in. Literally barked like dogs. Really helped me relax before having a lighted microscope inserted inside my vagina and having a piece of my cervix cut off and tested for cancer. Men really don’t get it. Almost every time you make it known you see me as a woman, you also make it known you don’t see me as a person.
Be Like the Sun
I treat people the way I want to be treated. When I get mistreated I feel so angry because I know I don’t deserve it, and I know the person who mistreated me didn’t deserve my kindness. But I am reminded that the sun shines whether people appreciate its warmth or not. To not shine would be to not be the sun. I’ll keep choosing to be like the sun. 🌞

Happy International Women’s Day!
“The world of humanity is possessed of two wings: the male and the female. So long as these two wings are not equivalent in strength, the bird will not fly.” -Bahá’í quote
March is women’s history month and I am celebrating the feminine in my yoga and dance classes this month. Much of my yoga practice centers around being both soft and strong, open and steady. I love this Bahá’í quote because it speaks to what feminism is to me- all genders sharing equal power so that we can all experience life freely, as we are meant to experience it. Within each of us we have both male and female energies; we all have both masculine and feminine qualities. Our female “wing” is our soft, open, vulnerable, emotional, cool, nurturing qualities. Our male “wing” is our strong, active, rational, hot qualities. One is not better than the other; both are vital to realizing and expressing our true selves. I have chosen asanas for this week that will bring awareness to the female channel and bring about a greater sense of balance.

Weekend Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga is a great way to unwind after a long week, promote healing in the physical body and subtle body, and gently increase your flexibility to bring fuller expression to the rest of your yoga practice (like the poses I’m doing here). Come see for yourself in my Restorative Yoga class tonight at 7:30, and my Warm Restorative Yoga class tomorrow night at 5:50, both at Area Yoga Court Street!
