How often have you heard, “don’t be so negative” or “don’t blow your top”? People are often quick to judge anything other than a happy, bubbly, perenially positive and optimistic outlook as “negative”. Anger, especially,...

cA recent video by a yoga teacher I follow said “interoception is everything!” In my yoga practice being in harmony with yourself is everything, that’s my end goal–to be in touch with how my body moves, my breath, and how I feel as best as I...

When I went looking for an image to go along with this article, I put “gate” into my favorite photo site. In my mind, I always think of a farm gate, or perhaps a white painted one around a garden. But this one, of a black fancy wrought-iron gate that is...

Meditation isn’t just sitting quietly and emptying your mind. It can also take the form of mindfulness, of being fully present in the moment. In my book, The Five-Minute Meditation Solution, I talk about moving meditations, such as taking a walk. However,...

The final of the five yamas, or the first of the eight limbs of yoga is aparigraha, or non-attachment. This isn’t a new idea in Hindu and Buddhist spirituality, though many in the west see non-attachment as living an austere life. They think it means having...

whAuthor’s note: This may be a rather long blog, but I hope you read it through as it talks about stimming as a natural behavior across species and grants some insights. Horses are a special interest of mine, so I love talking about the sacred herd. The image...
I am a nonbinary (pronouns: they/them), fat, queer, neurodivergent farmer yogi with fibromyalgia who loves supporting chronically ill, neurodivergent, and LBGTQIA+ individuals in a trauma-informed, safe manner so they can find their energetic harmony, feel loved, and learn how to crow & flow!
To do this, I use my skills as a yoga teacher, meditation instructor, reiki healer, and harmonic energy worker. We’ll also receive support from my sacred herd of rescue horses and flock of chickens (the inspiration for the Chicken Yogi way). Together, we’ll weave magic, harmony, and fun to lead you on a path so you can discover the bliss which comes from being able to crow your truth and flow with the universe!
