Make a Choice

Fear slithers in through the right side of my skull…. It whispers.. Not good enough Not good enough Not good enough Courage comes from the left… White hot, Valiant, Glowing… Mercifully forgiving… Just right Just right Just right They meet in the middle, they must, Without one the other does not exist. Despite my best … Continue reading →

It IS on My Mat

Just got back from a very refreshing inspiring trip to Mexico which left me with some time to myself to re-assess and re-promise some things to myself. One, very important thing was to commit to a daily yoga practice and thus far I have succeeded. Between at home and some studio classes I have been … Continue reading →

Ego On My Mat

I know I have been quiet over here lately…I have admittedly been VERY busy over here not much to say about this part of my journey I guess… until today. I am on the homestretch of our second annual Princess Ball for Cystic Fibrosis Canada and things are going great – better than great – … Continue reading →

Dying On My Mat

I’ve been a little quiet about my practise lately… mostly because I have been a little negligent in that department – I try here and there to grab 20 minutes or so but I haven’t made enough time for the deep, committed yoga that heals the body and the spirit… Today – I got back. … Continue reading →

Tree Pose

Tree Pose is my favourite pose right now.  Beyond the fact that it is just very “yogi” looking – it puts me right where I want to be…. grounded into the earth, back straight, heart strong, arms raised up….. standing, resilient, beautiful, strong enough to bend and be flexible and adapt, strong enough to own … Continue reading →

Healing On My Mat

One of my first posts about yoga was regarding Camel and how afraid my poor little broken heart was to do it – how fear literally prevented me from surrendering into this pose.  Guess What? I can do it! It’s not fantastic – in fact – I would say I am hardly “surrendering” but I … Continue reading →

Goodbye On My Mat

 Since I had my first child in 2007 I haven’t asked much of my body but to carry me from point “A” to point “B” – I certainly haven’t celebrated it the way I did before kids – before kids fitness was an integral part of who I was, I ran, I lifted, I ran … Continue reading →

Here And Now

Remove the old garment which no longer suites you and step bravely into the new one – weaved from an awareness gained after years of struggle and pain. Do not lose site of who you are in that quiet space – where only reality exists. You’ve paid a high price to get here – no … Continue reading →

Dreaming On My Mat

This week during yoga I have been thinking a lot about the future – and dreaming about the future – and this makes me very excited.  For a long time I have been  too afraid to dream… I was too afraid to think about the future because looking to the future always left me wondering … Continue reading →

It’s Gonna Be Okay On My Mat

Today’s yoga class was in a word – AMAZING – again, feel so strong and confident – I feel how thankful  my body is to me that I am giving it this gift and it is responding in gratitude.   My whispers today? “Kelly, it’s going to be okay”  and again “…it’s going to be … Continue reading →
