May Sunshine
Here on the coast of B.C., we’ll take sunshine in any form right now. Do you dig these out, mow them down, and generally wish they’d never shown up in your yard? Perhaps you’ve heard that they’re “good for you”, but you’ve tried to eat them, and were not impressed. See below for a delicious Dandelion recipe.
January Pause
Whether or not you made resolutions for the New Year, perhaps you’d enjoy a space to reflect on the year just past.

The topic of this week’s video is quiet time. You’re most likely aware of the benefits of meditation. We’ve all seen the studies. If you have a regular quiet time practice, bravo. If it’s something that you’re thinking of doing, sometime in the future, please take 5 minutes right now and explore it with me.

Autumn Yoga for You

Strategies for self-care and happiness
Over the past number of months, I’ve been learning about the importance of continually developing new strategies for self-care and happiness. Perhaps you’ve been doing the same; if so I’d love to hear about your techniques.
I hope you enjoy this short video containing some coping strategies which might help reduce stress and raise your mood.
Serenity in Difficult Times
You might rediscover serenity in a Yoga class, or through your own daily intentions. May your body and soul bask in contentment when you dip into the sweet pool of serenity.
