Three days late—and here.

Hi, Subscriber First Name,

This was supposed to reach you Monday. It didn't—and the reason is the whole reflection. I spent the week so sure of my own rhythm that I walked right past the thing I do every week, until a coaching client caught me mid-sentence. I teach presence. And I missed my own.

Come practice with me.

Wednesday nights at Lighthouse Yoga Center in Brightwood:

• 6:30p ET | Vinyasa Flow | 60 minutes

• 7:45p ET | Restorative | 75 minutes

Looking for something to do Saturday morning? I’m subbing a double, also at LYC.

• 8:45a ET | Hatha | 75 minutes

• 10:15a ET | Flow | 60 minutes

While I enjoy teaching group classes, I love working 1:1 with a student. Through private lessons, I can provide personal design, individualized attention and accountability at your convenience.

Interested? As with coaching, we can do a free 30 minute alignment session to see if we’re a fit. Email me to set up.

Food for thought.

Patanjali names nine antarāyas—the obstacles that scatter the mind (sutra 1.30). Pramāda is one of them: the simple lapse of attention. He doesn't name them to shame us. He names them because they come for everyone who practices. The scattering isn't the failure of the practice—it's the reason we practice.

When was the last time you caught yourself?

Not to fix anything—just to notice the moment you're actually in, instead of the one you assumed. That noticing is where coaching begins. If something in this week's reflection landed, let's talk.

A breath before you go.

Tomorrow morning I'll make my coffee again. Same cup, same chair. And I'll take one breath before I begin—not because I've fixed anything, but because being late and getting caught is its own kind of waking up.

with love ✨, CATHERINE
