Hey Vancouverites! Wanna turn down the suck and turn up the good?
Clicking play is precisely how to do it.
Let's face it, we've all been bummed about all insanity thats gone down. Sit back and let this little guy tell you the story of Jack and the beanstalk. The two's aren't all terrible. Enjoy and be happy. Life is so beautiful♥
Goin' to Main St Car free day?
If you do, make sure you stop by The Fab Fair at Heritage Hall to say hello to me while you're there! Good times all around, and a great way to celebrate all those incredible baby daddies out there!
(just leave the car at home). Namaste xo

Breast Massage
Breast massage may sound like a strange concept for some but did you know it has amazing benefits? For all the stages of our lives.
*including helping lactating mom's with blockages etc.
We know that yoga stimulates lymph flow and strengthens our endocrine and immune systems, but breast tissue is still fatty tissue that doesn't really get exercised in the conventional sense. Even with all the yoga I practice I have fluid filled cysts that come and go, and our breasts just change and change. Its hard to know what's happening in there! I found myself this morning thinking about an RMT friend of mine here in Vancouver who is extensively trained in breast massage and her name is Angie Mrau. This video looks fine for familiarizing yourself with your breasts but I really can't recommend enough seeing a professional and Angie's your gal (And remember, Massage therapy is covered by MSP)!

"Beware the barrenness of a busy life." -Socrates
I'm sick of the word busy. "How are you ? Busy...so very busy.." "You? Oh the same...just extremely busy".
I am just so sick of being busy. I find that thats all I hear, and say anymore. I am really bored of hearing myself say it.
I came to the realization last week when I was super stressed and unable to keep up with deadlines and such (and I found myself so stressed that even my decades long yogic tools weren't cuttin' it) that I have simply said yes to too many things. Since then I have been watching my use of the word. Yesterday I spent the most delightful day at my community garden plot and was so happy to see my garden friends. All we could speak about was how busy we are/have been. It's an epidemic. I am really convinced the whole world is busier than ever. I remember Seane Corn once telling me to "pick my battles wisely" when I asked her how she manages her time. As difficult as it can be to set limits, I am slowing things down. I am taking my own advice and practicing what I preach as far as the self care goes. I will certainly not be clearing my schedule (not by a long shot)! I'm just setting some limits. I love what I do so much. Both the teaching and the volunteer activities. I just plan on carving out more time for me. More nature and less busyness. More time at the garden, and less busyness. More road trips to the Island, less busyness, less computer time (my facebook friends will all tell ya, thats a HUGE one for me haha), and MORE downtime, doing more of what is depicted in the photograph above! Not sure where it all went wrong, and I know its easier said then done but I'm going to try. I'll let you know how it goes! Good luck to you as well. I know I am in good company. Summers almost here and its short in these here parts. Remember you & your self care.
Truly, nobody can do it for ya.
See you on the mat. Namaste xx
