About this video

<p>July (or Joo-lye depending on who you ask) is here and my oh my what a year it has been. Welcome to a new season, dear friends. I am right there with you, riding the waves of the world and holding on to the light. This month we join to ask questions that help us think and move towards what matters most. <strong>What gives you a spark?</strong> What relationships or pursuits are life giving? (Be prepared to also observe those that are not.)</p><p><br></p><p>In this vlog, I offer some contemplation questions and affirmation prompts for the month ahead. Courage comes up. As well as paying attention to the order of operations so that you can be AVAILABLE for the sparks in a whole way. I am energetic as I share this month from Washington State where I have been caring for myself, working remotely and studying more about the brain and the spine! (Seriously, I am coming home with some new obsessions that I cannot wait to play with in practice with you.)</p><p><br></p><p>Stay tuned for more new content here, including our first YOGA THERAPY video with the head of Practice Yoga Austin School Of Yoga Therapy, Emily!</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you for being here, it means everything.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Poem read:&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><em>The Patience of Ordinary Things</em></p><p><em>By Pat Schneider&nbsp;</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>It is a kind of love, is it not?</em></p><p><em>How the cup holds the tea,&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>How the chair stands sturdy and foursquare,&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>How the floor receives the bottoms of shoes&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>Or toes.
