I almost didn’t write this one.

Hi, Subscriber First Name,

I sat down this morning with nothing to say. Then I looked at my week—the gym, the replanted herbs, bringing my car in for a tune-up—and realized that was the whole point.

Group classes are one kind of practice. Private yoga is another—shaped to what your body is actually asking for, not what the room needs. Sometimes the tending has to be that specific. It helps us turn inwards and learn to listen to signals from within.

Food for thought.

Yoga Sutra 2.42—santosa
From contentment, unsurpassed joy is gained.

Not the absence of wanting. The practice of not needing the next thing to arrive in order to be okay with what’s here now.

When the engine light comes on.

I mentioned getting my car checked this week. Why? We’re trained to do this—to notice the engine lights in our cars and, when lit, to take them into the mechanic to look under the hood, figure out what’s going on and help us decide what comes next.

What about when our own engine lights come on? When something feels off, and possibly off for awhile. We can’t name it, but we sense something’s there. What can we do?

Working with a coach is a way to notice our engine light and work with someone to get honest about what’s working and what’s not and where we might need realignment.

The everyday is where the good work happens. Know someone who could benefit from coaching?

One last thing.

Maybe the distance we are from you makes you think what we are doing is special, but we’re the same distance from you. And I’m trying to tell you—just trust me—you are special.

~Victor Glover from the Orion capsule, 240,000 miles from home

The everyday is what’s special and remarkable. When we realize this, we recognize that the unremarkable is 100% the point.

with love ✨, CATHERINE
