SACRED MOMENTS
The recent holidays with family in Peru held some sacred moments and much needed light therapy. We now close 2021 with contentment and optimism for a new year of learning, challenges and commitments. Since our world is changing, we must change with it. International travel has become complicated and expensive. So if you do travel, use efficient modes of transportation and then do your best to conserve water and energy. Do what you can to offset your carbon footprint… Read More
CONSCIOUS CHANGE
It is National Indigenous Peoples Day. With more awareness of how government and religion have shaped the lives of indigenous peoples, I would like to dedicate these words to our First Nations people of Canada. May we find a way to walk with you in the hope of reconciliation and collective healing. With vaccinations rolling out, we can have a new sense of optimism for the coming months ahead. It is a first world choice to vaccinate or not, but we’ll all… Read More
THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT
At a glance, it may appear that another year has gone by with very little change. 2020 however, will be remembered as a historic and evolutionary time in our lives. This pandemic caused a whirlwind of events that have shaped us and given us reason to consider what is truly important. So for us to embrace the true spirit of Christmas this year, it may help to take a quick look at the year in review. How can words describe it? We… Read More
A SHIFT IN PERCEPTION
HAPPY 50TH EARTH DAY. This is a special time, as there will never be another April 22, 2020! For this 50th Earth Day, I am hoping to initiate a shift or new hope in YOU. Most folks on this email list have been following Body Harmony for so many years. Why?

INNER AND OUTER WORLDS
Wow. This is an interesting time of change and uncertainty. The world is watching and waiting for messages that will bring more clarity to a situation that has brought upheaval to many. With the privilege of having electronics we are doing our best to inform ourselves, however, often we spend too much time looking ‘out there’ distracting ourselves from what is most important. This is the time to be honoring mindfulness and our innermost selves, our true selves and then… Read More
WHY PRACTICE YOGA?
Why Practice Yoga? There are so many reasons to practice yoga and by this time, I am sure you have heard about most of them. Since I only have a few seconds to capture your attention, it is overwhelming to know where to begin! So reason #1 for practicing yoga, ANXIETY. Most everyone has experienced worrisome, fearful or nerve racking sensations which leave us short of breath and unsure of our next move. The fact is, in our Western World… Read More
SERENITY NOW
Since reading The Four Agreements Companion Book years ago, it continues to serve as a great reminder of the following: 1. Be Impeccable With Your Word 2. Don’t Take Anything Personally 3. Don’t Make Assumptions 4. Always Do Your Best A tough act to follow, but where there’s a will there’s a way! For now though, I would like to bring attention to the third agreement: with this bit of wisdom, we have the ability to transform many things. At a… Read More
DEVELOP YOUR HOME YOGA PRACTICE
Make time for you with ‘Rituals’ in your daily life. Rituals have been shown to promote more organized and productive behaviour, and may be the only way to get important things done! It is said, that adding a conscious routine of daily exercise creates an unconscious string of events that take on a positive life of their own. If this is true, then wouldn’t it be extra special to include yoga as a ritual? Develop your home yoga practice to… Read More
LIFE FORCE ENERGY
As I write this, the anticipation is building about the birthing process of my first child. Time and again I remind students about the power of our breath and all that it holds. What a great reminder for myself! Our hearts pump oxygen from the breath through the blood in our bodies, but along with this movement of oxygen to each and every cell, comes the flow of prana. Prana is a yogic vital source of energy that is life-sustaining,… Read More
