Mother Nature is humbling. It’s good for me to be reminded of how grateful I am to be here instead of heading into an office though.

Our citadel started in a tent that soon was shredded by a windstorm. So the fancy camper was the next logical step

We had a big storm last night which means @nprofile…5y3p has his work cut out for him, fixing the washed out road and checking solar setups, alongside his usual tasks like maintaining our heavily used cars.
Meanwhile I get to frolic around the #desert to fulfill some herb orders.
There’s a lot of work that goes into the #homestead life but I wouldn’t have it any other way and I hope he feels the same (thanks babe 🤍)

Hi friends! Some of you joined me when I was offering #yoga classes on HiveTalk and I remain so grateful for your support. I took time away from social media this past year, but as I slowly return I will be more regularly posting yoga videos and my musings on the yogic lifestyle.
There’s an endless number of yoga videos to follow these days... what I share will always center around one main intention: yoga as a practice to liberate your mind. I’m familiar with the benefits of yoga to navigate grief, anxiety, and physical pain and this is the place I aim to teach from.
For now, I am hosting videos on Substack which I will link below! The first class I filmed is especially geared towards those looking for a gentle class, stiff bodies, seniors, and frazzled nervous systems.
More to follow (and improvements to the sound quality!). These classes will always remain a free offering, so please share if you think this could benefit someone in your life

It took me a long time to find direction on my yoga journey. At first it was due to a lack of option for a teacher.. 10 years ago there was absolutely no studios in the areas of New York where I lived. I taught myself out of books and videos. My first class with an instructor was at the local rec center, with my mom and several other women three times my age.
Later I moved to a city in Arizona. Here there was an abundance of options. I tried many studios and felt uncomfortable in them... surrounded by perfectly curated women in expensive clothing, loud music, and endless Vinyasa flows. Eventually I stumbled onto Ashtanga and found my home for a short while. A group of people committed wholeheartedly to their own practice.
The studio closed, I moved away, and my body craved something less fiery than the Ashtanga Primary Series.
Now I am teaching, back in a rural town. Yoga is so popular now that even here there are studios and plenty of practitioners with an overpowering ego.
It took a little while, but I am finding my people. Teaching at the local community center, with a backdrop of lassos, quilts, and a huge American flag. It might not fit the "yoga aesthetic" but I could not be happier.
Yoga is for everyone! Keep practicing 🤍 🪷

Creosote bush is a very purifying plant, it has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Having a bundle in the shower releases the aromatic compounds so it can help with respiratory issues and it just smells great :)

#yogastr crew (those in the US) - would you rather the class stay consistent with your time zone (4 pm PT / 7 pm ET)?
Or stick to 4 pm Arizona time (3 pm PT / 6 pm ET)?
I’m leaning towards the first option, but can definitely make either one work. Anyone who has a preference, let me know 🫶

Rewriting the self: the path of the Sadhak to sovereignty
Do you ever wonder how many aspects of ourselves are changeable? Is there stability in our bodies, our consciousness, or the pattern of our DNA? Or is existence in this being transient in every way?
We all have a story about ourselves - one shaped from genetics, history, and environment. This sometimes looks like a burden we carry in this lifetime. An explanation for why I am the way I am. Otherwise, it may look like a roadmap for self-improvement. The story shifts and I recognize the possibility for change within this lifetime.
The shift to a new story and the joy it brings is the fruit of our hard work.
We are made up of what we consume, beyond what we eat. Every sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste that we take in is a line in the unfolding of our story. The senses give us fuel for the mind to wander into past and future protections and introduce impurities into the body.
The mind governs our choices, based on its projections and misguided thoughts, and it pushes us to fall into patterns - our mind will ask the body to keep seeking out familiar foods, sounds, and sensations until we find ourselves in a place that feels like it can’t be changed.
Yet we are always evolving and shifting. Even our bones, hard and brittle, are remineralizing and restructuring, shifting over the course of months. The study of epigenetics offers some insight into a knowing I’ve held onto, that even our DNA is rewritable. Recently, epigeneticists have demonstrated that gene expression cycles over the course of a day. This helps to explain why the genetic code of a population may shift rapidly under stress and why over a lifetime an identical twin may show a different genome pattern than their sibling.
This is ultimate freedom and also ultimate responsibility. Our food, environment, company, and entertainment are choices that affect our future happiness, the flow of our evolution, and the story we pass down to our children.
While we are clearly moved by the waves of a greater existence, we are the captain of the ship. Practice helps to harness this freedom.
In the start of Sadhana Pada, the second chapter of the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali gives the guide to a practical yoga practice: self-purification, self-observation, and evolving self-awareness.
Yoga Sutra 2.1: Tapaḥsvādhyāyeśvarapraṇidhānāni kriyāyogaḥ
Tapas produces energy, burns away imperfections, and illuminates false knowledge. The fire frees a person from samskaras and the desire to continue the cycle of death and rebirth. This is showing up to the practice, cleansing the body, and concentrating the mind. A commitment we can make to ourselves to keep clearing out what we don’t need.
Swadhyaya is self-study, perceiving the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of self from different perspectives. The stories we tell about ourselves define both our past and our future. Patanjali also tells us that it is our choice to accept future suffering: we stand to reap all the benefits of looking at ourselves and modifying how we prepare for the next season of life.
Ishwara Pranidhana is acknowledging an inner awareness. It is recognition of the divine within. To me, this is the key to help the rest of the practice flow more easily. Seeing ourselves as an expression of the divine sheds the layers of negativity, shows us our true path, and establishes our place in the infinite. It brings out kindness and releases the fears that control our instincts.
These three practices show a pathway to a self-sovereign future. A way to shed the skin that binds us to an old story. It does not require special powers or a birthright, only discipline, sustained efforts, and the choice to evaluate the path you are walking.
Make yourself the hero of your story.

A copper alembic still is chosen for distilling hydrosols because the copper binds sulfates during the process, creating a sweeter smelling products.
I enjoy the beauty of working with this metal and a handcrafted still. I feel it also imparts the invigorating and healing qualities of copper.
Distilling plants to form a hydrosol captures the essence of the plant into a form we readily soak up through our skin - aromatic and medicinal.

Creosote is an incredible healer - resilient and fiercely protective - even if these scrubby bushes don’t look like much.
Traditionally, it has been used internally and externally to fight many ailments. To heal cuts, fight infections, and even stop the spread of cancer.
Science has shown that creosote leaves contain a powerful antioxidant called NDGA (nordihydroguaiaretic acid
), which is now being used in anti-aging studies and skincare.
Livestock fed on creosote show decreased rates of infections and parasites.
This plant requires strong defenses to spread so abundantly through the dry, harsh desert and there lies its medicine. It is a potent healer all of the damage the body takes.
