In my perspective, gratitude practice is not about bypassing anything that’s going on or sugarcoating; on the contrary it arises from allowing ourselves to feel everything. The more we open to feel our grief, sadness, anger, fear, and despair, the more space we open for gratitude, expansion, joy and love...

Asked to write about Uma Dinsmore-Tuli’s Yoga Nidra and Womb Yoga workshops this weekend at Yoga Tree, I sort of had trouble deciding which to choose. So I didn’t.

I had the opportunity to speak with Inbal Sansani, Women’s INpowerment Coach, when I needed to hear her words the most. Incidentally, the message that stuck out for me was how important it is to trust that we have all we need, both internally, and as guidance from the universe. If anything, because of the way this interview came in...
