this moment is enough 🌿

Dear Reader,

This week, I want to share a beautiful reflection written by our instructor Julia Bridges. It’s a sweet reminder that transformation doesn’t always need to be big or bold. Sometimes it happens quietly, in the pause between breaths, or in the space where effort softens into ease. Her words capture the heart of Yin — the dance between expansion and surrender, fullness and stillness.

Take a few moments to read her reflection below and let it guide your week:

“Caterpillar
Butterfly
Wings open
Legs out
Heart wide

Shine like a star!
Take up space, yes,
But don't be afraid
to then get small.

Pause.

Ask myself...

Is this moment just enough?

Does this one breath fill me up?

As my worldly cravings cease
Let the spirit reign in peace.
Even if it's only fleeting
gather it up, draw it in,
hold it dear,
Myself in Yin.”

With love and gratitude,
Liz

Read | This powerful article serves as a reminder to us all to slow down, listen deeply, and treat our physical experiences with the compassion and attention they deserve.

Try This | Even small doses of novelty, such as taking a walk down a different street, going on a day trip to a new place, or saying yes to an unexpected plan, can refresh your mind and lift your mood. Research shows that new experiences activate the brain’s dopamine and learning systems, helping you feel more present, curious, and alive. You don’t need a big getaway; you need moments that interrupt routine and invite surprise. Routine keeps you steady, but novelty reminds you you’re still growing.

Where in your life are you being called to soften, pause, or simply breathe?
