During our retreat on compassion and love, where I taught about remaining open hearted in the midst of adversity, when it feels like life has slammed its door on you, a massive thunderstorm with torrential rain blackened the sky. Just hours later, I stepped outside. The Storm had passed, the light had overcome the darkness and there, out of nothingness, this heart ♥️ appeared. I thought of my own inner experience of just a week prior, the conflictuel nonsense of some students in the face of my open hearted teachings and above all, the sudden tragic death of one of my dearest friends. Pondering for just a micro minute, if something was utterly wrong with me, do I care too much? Am I just too open? Too sensitive ? Should I be more like so many that I cross paths that bear a hardened heart? As I stepped outside I witnessed the formation of a single cloud cluster in the shape of an undeniable heart ♥️ suspended in the heavens above. I knew at that moment that NO, the only answer was to open even wider and drop into the trust of God and the fragility of life. The universe holds my heart and my heart holds this universe. The path of the heart ♥️ warrior. #god #surrender #lifestyle #heart #compassion #bodhichitta #awakeningtheheart #stayopen #signs #soulful_moments #love #o2yogabreathelife #trust
We all need sparks of inspiration. Move into stillness and allow the sparks of inspiration to shine forth. Creativity and creation are born in the space between two thoughts. Life is a composition of an infinite amount of micro moments that are composed of a beginning, a middle and an end. Like the in and the out of our breath, each moment slips into the past and if we allow, carries us into the present moment. The practice of yoga is moving with each moment, witnessing the beginning of a sensation and following it until its end. Everything is fleeting, everything is ephemeral.

Returning home, a place where I today call and claim as home, feels incredibly fulfilling. Just off the tarmac, back from a full cup of family and dear friends that I love ever so, I am so grateful for life and this beauty that is abound. Joy fills my heart and I choose to live fully this epic-ness. As much as Luang Prabang and the States hold huge places in my heart ❤️ and soul, I’m home right here in tiny Rolle and I’m so happy. #homesweethome #rolleswitzerland #luangprabang #america #sunrise #beauty #yogajourney #finallyhome #grateful #epic
