Over the past 15 years, I’ve created countless playlists to accompany yoga classes, quiet evenings, and reflective mornings.

Last week, I went back through them all and gathered a "best of":

Here, I share the biggest misconception I see in the yoga world: that we should only use yogic practices to heal. Follow the science. Work with doctors, therapists, physical therapists—whatever supports your well-being. Use the tools that your inner wisdom and good sense guide you toward. #yoga

At Onward Light, we offer an optional post-class gathering called Communitea — a few minutes to connect, reflect, and get to know one another as humans, not just usernames on a screen.

It’s quiet. It’s cozy. It’s never required.
But it’s often the place where new friendships start to bloom.

#yoga

Lately I’ve been sitting with this phrase:
“Good things are always happening to me.”

Not as a way to ignore the hard stuff —
but as a way to *hold it with more balance.*
To not miss the good that *is* here —
even if it’s quiet, even if it’s small.

Behind every yoga practice, there’s a story.

However your story is showing up in your practice today---tenderness, fatigue, resilience, energy, or hope---it belongs here. It's welcome. It's just right. 🕯️

Grief and love are so often woven together.
If you’re carrying both right now, you’re not alone. 🕯️

If you could use some extra support today, feel free to comment here.
And if you have a little extra light to offer, you’re welcome to leave a few words of encouragement for someone else. 🌿

A variation on the usual gratitude journal. “Good things are always happening to me.”

✨New blog✨

A major surgery, a COVID infection, and suddenly, my body was unrecognizable.

In that stillness, something unexpected emerged—a quiet light, leading me onward.
