The Space Between Passion & Practicality

Amy & Janet in Sri Lanka!

It's the first of April and spring is here in the northern hemisphere!! Sunshine and hope! We spent the entire weekend in our garden and it filled my cup :)

I've truly been leaning into the inspiration of Spring and somewhere within me a new energy has been growing. It's been so refreshing, because having a kid and moving to a new country has really zapped me these past few years. Since Gigi was born, I've had to be much more practical than ever before. I have another 9-5 job, because teaching yoga freelance has not been conducive to mommy life. Even though you probably see me galavanting all over for retreats, I usually fly in and out so I'm not away for too long. Being a mom, strips you down the the basics! I'm doing my best to be where I am and being expansive within the boundaries of my current phase of life. 

But this year I've been feeling a rising of inspiration within me. It's been a long time since I felt this. Literally not since my daughter was physically being created inside me. Maybe it's Spring, maybe it's that Gigi is older and I feel more independent. Maybe by doing less teaching, I actually feel more inspired and passionate about it. When I'm on retreat, I feel so damn grateful and present. I've been doing my Mat Pilates teacher training in my spare (HAHA) time. I'm running my first yoga teacher's workshop on the Art of Savasana (come!!) I'm learning that my life is a balance of practicality and passion, sometimes swinging more in one direction than the other. Sometimes I'm saying no, but right now I'm saying yes. 

Life feels lighter. And with summer just around the corner, so is retreat season!! I hope we get to practice together IRL soon :) 

Much love,
Janet
