August 4, 2019

The Lord's Prayer can be recited beautifully while practicing the Sun Salutation. The act of praying while moving is very powerful and brings deeper meaning to both the prayer and the movement. Even if you are not used to or comfortable with the Lord's Prayer, you can replace this prayer with any words that speak to you.

New Moon Morning Meditation: Aligning with Your Deepest Desires

Meditation

The New Moon is a sacred time of new beginnings, self-reflection, and intention-setting. As the sky clears of moonlight, we, too, have the opportunity to clear space within ourselves—to let go of the past and make room for what we truly desire.

On this beautiful morning by the ocean, I led a New Moon Meditation to help us pause, breathe, and listen deeply to our own hearts. With the soft rhythm of the waves and the fresh morning air surrounding us, we embraced stillness, tapped into our intuition, and allowed our deepest dreams to rise to the surface.

Three Important Qualities to Develop

What are the three qualities I think are most important to develop? Meditation, yoga, and self-care.

Developing Ability to Take Risk

I was asked a question about taking risks as a part of an interview with Bold Journey Magazine. This is my take on risk.

I believe to take risk you have to find courage. To find courage you have to acknowledge what’s at stake and determine that what’s on the other side of the risk is worth taking the leap. Courage means taking action despite the feeling of fear and without any guarantees.

Meditation or Mindfulness? What's the difference?

Have you ever wondered about the difference between meditation and mindfulness? They are often used interchangeably but there is a difference between them.

Meet Krista Oakes - An interview for Bold Journey

I was featured in an article for Canvas Rebel after being referred to them by a friend and colleague. The magazine highlights local creatives. They asked me a few really good questions and I wanted to share them with you here.

Finding Stillness in Yoga

I use the term "stillness" a lot in my classes. Right from the onset of a class, I'm encouraging you to settle in to stillness. And then I encourage you to breathe deeply feeling your breath as you settle into the stillness. But have you ever tried to experience stillness while moving when you're NOT on your mat?

Yoga and the Law of Inertia
