simple shui | at home. with life.

just over a year ago, i returned to hot yoga.

and ever since, i have gone at least once a week.

which is long enough to observe patterns + tendencies.

especially when it comes to someone’s first time in the studio.

the heat is suffocating. nothing quite prepares you for it.

and the 26 poses generate their own stifling heat.

90 minutes of this gets to you: emotionally, physically, mentally.

first timers often try + leave class. sometimes the instructor lets them; other times they encourage them to just sit it out. “do nothing else but endure the heat today.”

yesterday, two people walked out. and a lightning thought struck me: this is their edge + they are walking away.

when we wonder why nothing changes regardless of our intentions, this is the moment to watch for – where are we being pulled to our edge + when we get there, are we walking away?

how much faith do you have in the universe? because when an assignment to grow shows up, we have to do the work. not question it. and definitely not walk out on it.

i see this all. the. time. in my shui practice.

on-the-fence clients still wondering whether shui really works. i mean, it just doesn’t seem logical, right?

normally, i will share a client story. i have plenty of those.

but today, we are going to look at someone who lives this every day.

ME.

with shui by my side, here’s what twenty-fourteen has gathered for me so far:

i fell into a kindred community who rallies me daily with encouragement + kind words + boundless energy. the kind of people i can’t imagine having never known. and who remind me what a delicious treat good company is.

i’ve been featured over at MindBodyGreen 5 times this year. and those articles have been shared 43,000 times. full stop.

every site i sent articles to this year has published my work. every. single. one.

i bought my dream car this summer.

my clients all year have had FABBY results – some SO juicy, i can’t tell you until very important papers are signed. squeee!

those simple shui videos i get so nervous to make? they’ve been seen in over 100 countries. i mean, shui in oman? c’mon!

and while i’ve been working, people have been watching. like ABC Carpet & Home who tripped my world with full-tilt delight when they invited me to lead simple shui workshops in their store throughout twenty-fifteen. and asked me to speak at one of their biggest events in the spring.  h o l y   l o v e .

i know how to create the best possible energy in a space that attracts the best possible things into our lives. and that is playing to the edge. because with every inspired opportunity that has shown up for me, i’ve had to wrestle self-doubt + do the work + trust the process. and what i know for sure is when i lean into the shui, everything just keeps getting better + brighter.

and it can for you, too.
