Phoenix from the Fire - July 2023

A memory written down is a perspective because there were a lot of people around in July 2023.

Costa Rica

My story begins somewhere in the middle.

Today is the present moment. It’s September 2024. So more than a year has passed. Memories fade and shift.

This is why yoga is important to me.

For me, yoga is paying attention to the breath. But it didn’t start that way.

For me, yoga started as what lots of folks do yoga for - fitness.

I was a runner. And I was pregnant and my body told me - please don’t run. And I started going to yoga.

Because I felt like I was training for something. Something big. Dario’s birth. But we didn’t call him Dario then.

Then we called him Zygy because we didn’t know if he was a he or a she or a dinosaur. haha

And DJ is my first child. So from my perspective when I started going to yoga regularly I loved paying attention to my body during that time because I was sober as a whistle and growing my first baby.

DJ will be nine in November. He was born in Texas.

I started going to yoga regularly to prep for my biggest transofrmation to date. I was going to become a Mom.
