Preserve Your Mind and Create Peace

I have a busy mind. I admit I am susceptible to lose control of what occupies my thoughts. Sometimes it is detrimental to my mind body health. I have learned however to recognize them, release the wasteful ones for necessary self-preservation. I take more time to process my reaction, if any. Or simply sweep the “fake” thoughts that want to rent space in my head that create F.E.A.R – False

Power of 12 and Trust in Outcomes

Fusion enters our 12th year! That’s right, it was also on a Monday, March 31st, 2014, that I excitedly opened our doors for our unique way to explore wellness and restore with Fusion Yoga & Wellness. Your other home, your sanctuary away from home. I said to myself with faith, “if I build it with pure intention, they will come”. And you did. Thank you! I practiced then and now, the

Peaceful in Truth

A lie just feels wrong. I remember the guilt I still have today from when I was 7 years old. I hid something from my mother for a dumb reason and didn’t admit I knew where it was when asked. When I found out someone innocent was going to take the blame, I put it back when she wasn’t looking. Still deceptive. I did not feel like I “got away

Ahimsa for Our Wildlife Kingdom

Our beautiful planet’s vulnerable Wildlife Kingdom Meet, Mr. Miyagi, my sweet water bound Betta friend for the last 10 months. He’s my first pet since losing my favorite cat of 17 years, Kitty who lived through what felt like Nine Lives for both of us. I may not have dogs anymore but relate to the connection we have with our other “family members”. Sounds silly, but I love Mr. Miyagi

Seva, Linking Yoga & Holiday Intentions

Traditionally the spirit of this holiday season includes a desire to gift give to show love. I admit, this is my lesser need of the 5 Love Languages, by Gary Chapman. It’s not that I don’t appreciate them but my preference to express and receive love has always been “acts of service”, linked with “quality time”. I naturally enjoy helping others. When someone does something helpful for me, and shares

Right NOW, Pay Attention

Right Now. Pay attention. I’ve heard it many times from parents, teachers, and my own inner voice. Yes, I get easily distracted. Think “squirrel!”. The student who looks out the window in class, more visual than audio oriented. I hit “rewind” often. With the help of yoga I have learned to focus more on my presence in the moment. If I catch myself not attentive, I pause and refocus. Yoga Sutra 1.1,

She Was Right

She was right! Exactly 5 years ago today, I met with one of my first long-term private yoga students who wished to get healthier in mind and body. She knows who she is (respecting her privacy) I send a BIG shout out to say, “thank you”. We formed a special bond during our 159 Private classes and 1 Reiki session. I’m so glad I Listened Without Ego as she shared her
