Alive in Thailand

hello from

tuscany!

hello

my favorite humans!

I’ve just finished up our first Goddess Retreat in the spectacular Tuscan countryside, and am now beginning the second! This second Tuscany group is my 11th retreat (omg???) and that realization has created space for beautiful reflection. I wrote up this Goddess Manifesto on one of my flights to Italy/sitting in my very favorite coffee shop in Florence – and I’ve since realized that it’s applicable to our whole community, not just my wonderful groups of goddesses❤ Because truly, this is what I’ve been trying to build/create since I opened the yoga underground 15 years ago. And I’m just feeling so honored and grateful and excited and free.

NEXT GODDESS RETREAT!

in our magical community – full of goddesses, kings, and everything in between, everyone…

…is supportive, loving, and kind. I think sometimes when we’re traveling through this life, and we’re so so damn tired — sometimes we need a sweet reminder to be gentle with ourselves and others. Think about creating an atmosphere that is opposite gossipy mean girl high school vibes, ya know? That’s what goddesses do. (And that’s all I’ll tolerate! xx)

…is willing to go with the flow! Life almost never goes exactly how you plan, and the more flexible you’re willing to be, the better time you will have — I promise.

…only speaks neutrally/positively
re: their own and others bodies and food choices.

this is so important!

we do not use movement as punishment! we move

for the joy of it!

we do not have to earn food, earn the right to eat, or earn the right to

enjoy our food!

we remember that food is not morally good or bad — it’s just trying to keep us alive and help us

enjoy this human experience!

in this magical, underground community,

everyone:

…is respectful and loving of others’ religious beliefs — and in fact, a good rule of thumb is to steer clear of religion and politics!

…goes out of their way to make sure all of us feel loved and included so that we all feel safe and comfortable trying new things and being open & vulnerable.
