POV: the stretch that hits just right when you’ve been lifting a 6’1 young man around the house !
About 20 years ago my life was imploding, I was a single mom taking Charlie to every Dr who would let me in… Finally one said, “You need to go to yoga.” I think my response was somewhere around “WTF?’ Do I look like I have time for yoga?!” She said “No, you need to breathe!”
Many years later I still keep coming back to that advice & my favorite mantra, Om Mani Padme Om. In Buddhism it refers to the jewel in the lotus that rises from the mud. One may argue my reference, but in this case, the jewel is about spiritual awakening, but also clarity & compassion. The mud is our human experience, maybe our hardship or stress. None of us can escape the mud. We cannot change the mud. But without the mud would there be a lotus?! It rises above the mud with grace & beauty & doesn’t wear the mud it’s been through.
This week I am in some mud. I find myself living on adrenaline, tightening up, pacing, worrying. But in the moments in between, I remember to take a conscious breath, to feel my grounding, the lift up, one breath at a time, & rise above our circumstance, to grow with clarity & compassion.
I use this same thought on my mat. We know often yoga & life are parallel. When we are in q challenging pose or hold, or in the mud, what are our patterns, do we grip, tighten, shorten our breath, lose our focus? Can we make the conscious choice in the moments in between. Maybe it’s why I love transitions, it provides us the opportunity for that choice. When we live in a fight-or-flight pattern, this sounds impossible. But like in yoga, it takes practice and consistency. The practice is to notice & acknowledge the mud, not become it. Each breath is a choice. We rise not by force but by awareness. Close your eyes, feel the earth, slow the breath, imagine the stem rising with every breath, lifting, blossoming.
We are not the mud we walk through. We are the lotus tbat grew from it.
Let’s lotus up!
See ya on the mat! 💫

A spontaneous mini-retreat!! I am hosting the RETREAT WEEKEND of your life! Zaca Lake in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley in Central Ca! Only a 2:45 drive outside of LA, a small distance from the heart of Santa Ynez & Los Olivos. A unique heaven like no other, we stay on a 320-acre private sanctuary surrounded by the Los Padres National Forest. Rich in Native American culture & a home to a nature and wildlife reserve. Gentle rolling hills dotted with ancient oak trees lead you to the entry of Zaca Lake, the gateway to the San Rafael Wilderness. A rare, natural spring-fed lake is at the center of the property. Nestled under a canopy of redwoods, a series of cabins line the north side of the lake. Every building has been meticulously restored to immerse you in spa-like comfort & luxury.
.
We begin each day with a yoga practice & meditation. You may know Kristina’s usual approach strays from the traditional , but see Kristina’s more gentle practice as she organically blends breath & yoga with tradition. Other rituals will round out the retreat throughout the weekend including ceremony, added yoga, & a special guest for meditation. We end each day with an exquisite meal, dining in the cocoon of the redwoods.
One evening we will get to indulge in holistic treatments at the Lavender Barn Spa at The Inn At Mattei’s Tavern, an award winning spa with a thermal experience of sauna, steam, hot tubs, cold plunge & outdoor baths. Each guest will choose either a 60 min massage or facial.
Deepen your yoga practice, get out & explore a new world, reconnect with your self & your own peace and inner-being before the holiday craziness begins. We are going to have the weekend & the relaxation of our lives!

Happy Friday, yogi’s! Thanks for sharing practice with me this week! I haven’t posted in a while because of a bad knee. I mentioned, I was asked,”What is the universe trying to tell you?’l 😂 so I’ve slowed down a lot in 2 months, used it as a nice challlenge, slow and steady, I kinda like it 🤪. (The knee is still wrapped )and I tend to dislike these vids as it looks like I’m not straightening my leg! It’s the dumb broken kneecap that is still swollen… oh well!)

Have a wonderful weekend, all! 💫✨♥️

See ya on the mat! 💫
