The terraced landscapes of Bali are endlessly mesmerizing. Everything about this place - the food, the people, the colors, the energy is spell-binding. So looking forward to the next magical journey ahead. 

Movement is therapy

Whether we call something a yoga pose, gymnastics, fitness, or martial arts, at the end of the day, becomes irrelevant. There is so much crossover between the disciples of body movement, sports, artistic expression, and meditative movement. What speaks to me most is the effect it has on my physical being, my psyche, and my clarity of thought. When executed properly, I always get taken back to the moments of competitive sport and how a basic centering with breath was absolutely critical to performing my best on a given day. Moral of the story - when your body and mind move congruently, amazing things can happen, both in practice and what ensues in your life afterwards. Carry on. Move beautifully. Feel good. Be you.

This is essentially a big part of what I teach my students and clients. If you'd like to join me, reach out to me at heedfitness@gmail.com to learn more about my public classes, workshops, retreats, and private coaching sessions. In the meantime, carry on my friends. Move as you were intended to perform, exist, and think beautifully.

Yoga/Acrobatics Retreat with Naheed Radfar Costa Rica

Costa Rica, here we come! Leaving Tuesday on  red eye flight, we'll be exploring Arenal Volcano, the hot springs, and Monteverde Cloud Forest before heading down to the Nicoya Peninsula to Anamaya Resort, where the Yoga/Fitness/Aerial retreat will be lead by myself (Naheed Radfar) and Christine Van Loo. I'm super excited to feel the hot humid weather and to explore movement meditation and acrobatic play in an idyllic setting with friends, love ones, and new people with whom relationships are bound to thrive across the span of many years. Travel on my friends, near or far. Life's journey is a constant staple. Recognize it, enjoy it, appreciate it. It has been a few years since my annual pilgrimages outside the country. I used to leave at LEAST once a year, sometimes MOVING all the way to Africa (with my cat, yes, I said it, my cat), for near two years. The rest will be for another blog post. But for now....I am off in two sleeps away to Costa Rica, where the locals say Pura Vida. See you on the other side my friends! xo
