Sometimes over the years, I’ve felt that mothering was my biggest block to keeping my yoga practice alive.
But then I realized I was my biggest block. Mothering was just an added pressure to problem solve and find a way to practice yoga despite the changes my kids have brought to my lifestyle.
Here are a couple of older photos of them playing with yoga blocks. Kids will make toys out of almost anything? Can I step into that same creative mode and make yoga practice out of seemingly simple moments? Maybe I won’t have yoga pants on or even a yoga mat to practice on, but can I still step into that practice even for just a few minutes a day?
Check out my recent post, Yoga Blocks: No, not the props, as I explore what blocks me from practicing yoga. What about you? What keeps you from practicing, and how do you work through that?

Last weekend I taught 4 kids yoga classes at KidFest Chicago @ 💚. So happy to have been trained by KAY and currently working for BBKY, LLC
After years of teaching yoga to adults, when I finally started teaching kids in 2013, I saw yoga with new eyes. Didn’t Einstein say something like, if you can’t explain it to a 6 -year-old, then you don’t understand it? I kinda feel like this about yoga😅
And these kiddos are my “gurus,” my teachers. Funny, people ask me if I do a lot of yoga with my own kids. The answer is no, not usually. But earlier this summer as we drafted our family summer bucket list, she said she wanted to do more yoga as a family! So there you go. She totally keeps me in line that way 🥰

I don’t know about you, but I get burned out toward the end of winter. I know the is technically on Friday, but it doesn’t feel like that here in Chicago.

Read my latest post, Modern Burnout, if you’re feeling the same. And/or, give yourself permission to kick back and take a chill pill (what’s your favorite R&R activity)?

Speaking of peek-a-boo…as we enter spooky season I’ve been wondering what scares people when it comes to yoga. Do you have fears or anxieties about yoga? Maybe just some hesitation? Read my latest post called Yoga Worries (link in bio).
Also, tomorrow at 11:30am Central time, join and I for a Substack Live discussion on how poetry and yoga can help us deal with fear and anxiety - a great topic for Halloween, don’t ya think? Link to the Live in my bio, too 👻
