February '25

Like so many of us I have been feeling the weight of the world and our country strongly, and so I have taken to the age-old deep winter nurturing method of hibernation.

When emerging, in class I have been teaching a lot about building our core foundations so when the exterior structures around us feel shaky we have our deeper sense of self, truth and power to turn to. This isn't just something I am teaching, it is something I am working so hard within myself– the physical practice of rebuilding my core after pregnancy and birth but also the spiritual and mental practice of knowing that everything unfolding around and within me is doing so for me to become stronger and learn a deeper lesson.

Overwhelm is so often paired with a paralyzing sense of unknowing. Not knowing how to move forward, how to be helpful or impactful. Personally this is such an uncomfortable place for me to exist, in the place of the unknown. As a recovering control freak I like to know how things are going to go, what my role needs to be and the possible outcomes so I can work hard to try and make them unfold with as much ease as possible. However at this moment of my life the universe is serving up so many unknown I have no choice to surrender. And so, in the midst of this wild discomfort, I am working to turn to the things I do know to be true. I know that I am loved, and that I love deeply. I know that teaching fuels my heart. I know that this is just a moment and that it truly will make me stronger. I know that in a time of challenge, community heals the soul. 

If you too find yourself in a similar place of the unknown I encourage you to join me in the practice of leaning into what is known, what is your truth. What do you do well that warms your heart? How can you lean in to feel your strength?

If you need community, we got you.

Love you all,

Margot
