The circle. A sacred symbol with no beginning and no end. Humans have been drawn to circles since our time on Earth began.
The fall is upon us and with it comes change. Our intention this month is to silence the inner critic.
I am writing this as I sit in my ‘Getaway’ cabin in the woods. There is no WiFi and I haven’t touched my phone (it’s in the cell phone lockbox and TURNED OFF) in 2 days.

My name is Meredith, and I’m scared of inversions. (Cue the audience’s muttered, “Hi Meredith,” response).Yes, I’m a yoga teacher who still struggles with inversions.
Carpe Diem, a Latin phrase translated to mean Seize the Day. And most of the time when we hear Seize the Day, we envision ourselves jumping out of bed, arms reaching towards the sky, “I’m taking on the world - Living this day as though it’s my last!!”… We have all the energy to do all the things with all the people and then post all the photos to Social Media with the caption ‘Living My Best Life!

As we head into Spring, we notice all around us nature's transformation. Fuzzy buds on the trees, the grass begins to come back to life, the longer days. It's a season of renewal.
We are about to embark on a New Year and the typical resoutions come into mind, the goals, fitness, dreams, etc. But what if, in 2017, you reached beneath the surface and dove in to something deeper?
When I read this quote, my first thought was of a conversation I recently had with one of my friends. Amie, who is also a yoga teacher, was telling me about her recent skydiving experience in Europe.
