Spread Your Light
The light each of us can spread into the world around us doesn’t have to be monumental. You don’t have to be Mozart or Gandhi. You spread light (or intensify darkness) with every interaction.
Do You Move with Awareness?
I don’t see what I teach as exercise—it’s movement with awareness. Instead of chasing goals or repeating motions mechanically, I use movement as a way to learn, grow, and rewire the brain. With awareness, we uncover better options, improve how we function, and become more present in ourselves. For me, it’s not about doing more, but about moving differently—and that’s what makes it transformative.
What Do You Think?
I used to think habits meant boring routines I’d never stick to. But I’ve discovered that making tiny, mindful breaks part of my day completely changes how I feel. Just a few minutes of slow, conscious movement brings focus, ease, and energy. Small steps, done daily, truly add up—and that’s the kind of habit I can love.
Is Sitting Really that Bad for Us?
I’ve come to see that sitting itself isn’t the real problem—it’s how and how long we sit. Chairs fix our bodies into one rigid shape, while sitting on the floor naturally keeps us moving, shifting, and upright. Immobility is what harms us, not rest. That’s why I encourage short, mindful breaks and even a return to simple floor-sitting, so we can stay mobile, reduce stiffness, and enjoy more freedom in our bodies.
