May has been off to a busy start. I recently returned from my retreat in the Dordogne region of Southern France. It is breathtakingly beautiful there and the villages, castles, countryside are a source of inspiration.

We might all be short on time, but developing self awareness can be as simple as taking a minute to look inward and notice your processes and patterns.

The Mia Minute is a place for students, clients and myself to come together and learn how to work with energy. Many of us have not been given these tools, and while we may have a very committed asana or meditation practice, often when we are triggered and emotions bubble to the surface, we simply don't know how exactly to process and release them.

February is the month we think of love, whether we like it or not. There are heart shaped boxes of candy, ads to remind us of the love or lack of love we have in life.

The holidays took me on some inner and outer adventures and I had to skip the December newsletter. I definitely felt the need to go inward for another layer of metamorphosis.

I have landed in the UK, but it’s taking me some time to feel at ease in this new land. Change as much as I seek it, can be the catalyst for change in places that were dormant and undiscovered.

The Processing Playground is a place I created as a yoga teacher and life coach for my students, clients, myself and you, to come together and learn how to work with energy. Many of us have not been given these tools.

As I settle into my new life, there are moments I yearn for the old. When it passes I remember that the fear is temporary, and the love is why I am here.

The heat is on! Summertime magnifies the intensity of all the shifts we are experiencing. When we go through shifts in our personal lives, it helps us look at things that we have outgrown and no longer need to hold on to. It’s a potent time to declutter and make space for the self.

How is your summer unfolding? Many of us want to live in the light and feel good, while that’s understandable it can also create an attachment to happy.

Next may, in the Southwest of France, I’ll be hosting a Yoga retreat in collaboration with The Travel Yogi and I want you to come! This 2019 retreat will run from May 11-18 and is suitable for all levels of Yoga.

Going into Darkness: Are you willing to sit in the dark? In the darkness of the caves of Tulum we were told by a shaman, “Remember, the darkness is not scary. The darkness and the silence is from where we come.”

Good Vibes and Bad Vibes. All Vibes Matter! We lean into the good, but there is likely more to learn from the "bad".

Rinsing and processing... we can have a lot of trash that accumulates inside of us. We are not even aware of it. If it is not emptied or processed it can literally stink up how we see life.

What does aging mean to you?

When resistance comes up, you find fear. When fear arises it is just an indicator that we need to pay attention.
