Greetings Beloved Soul Everyone is in such a hurry. Like the rabbit in Alice In Wonderland. “I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date.” We’ve been programmed by modern technology to get it all instantly. Whatever it is. Lo and behold, I found this in one of my daily readings… It’s only natural to want a quick fix or an immediate solution to a situation. As one member jokingly puts it, “Grant me patience…
It’s Nurses Week and it’s also Year of the Nurse and Midwife in celebration of Florence Nightingale’s 200th Birth Anniversary. Today. May 12. I’m sitting here thinking about how challenging it has been this year for nurses. People all over the world are celebrating nurses and bowing to them in gratitude for the service they give but this wasn’t exactly what we had in mind for the year of the nurse. Nonetheless, I want you…
Tweet this image. Being the conscious, caring nurse that you are, I know you’re doing your level best to try and contain the panic that’s undoubtedly rising all around you while WHO officially declares covid-19 a pandemic. As your N95 mask gets snatched out from under your nose, I’m certain you are more worried about the spread of panic than you are about the spread of disease at this point. The effects can be devastating…
Nurses are ministers and witnesses to suffering. The practice of centering is where we always begin. The practice of yoga, the practice of finding your divine inner self and connecting with one another. I truly believe that I’ve connected with every one of my YogaNurse students through divine intervention. I see you. I am honored to be present with you, share your pain and your joy as we traverse through our common interest in changing the world of…
Yoga is a teacher and most of all it is a compassionate, loving and forgiving presence in our lives. As you can tell, I’m feeling sooo much love for this ancient eastern wisdom today and everyday. Okay, most days. Haha. I know, we all feel tired sometimes and resistant to our practice. What makes you feel resistant to practicing yoga regularly? You may start your journey into yoga with many fears about your appearance or…
In the YogaNurse tribe we understand these two things intimately. You are BUSY. I like to rephrase the stressful busy word with.. “I’m in abundant service.” You need help fitting mindful living into your abundant service schedule. Another thing we understand is that you have no time to prepare yourself a healthy meal every single day. You grab snacks out of the vending machine and eat junk food on the go. I have my fair…
YOGA FOR YOUR FEET. AHHHH-OMMMMM. Like the roots of a plant, our feet give us immense possibilities to grow and go to places we never likely thought of visiting. Without them, we can never walk from place to place, let alone fulfill our essential Nursing responsibilities. Unfortunately, we are often too busy to give our tootsies the much needed TLC. They’re so taken for granted that few nurses are even aware that April is the…

I read Facebook posts from my friends, including lots of nurses and see a lot of stress, anxiety, pain and suffering. I call this SAPS- in our YogaNursing model of care, cuz it plain saps the life force out of you. Had a long phone convo with my brilliant nurse buddy and best selling author Carol Gino, author of the much loved and controversial book- The Nurses Story. She read this to me over the…
This post is part of a collaboration with other nurse bloggers. Gratitude to RNFM Radio with Keith and Kevin who are hosting this round. Recently I was invited to be a speaker for an erudite group of Oncology Nurse Practitioners from Dartmouth Medical Center in New Hampshire. The nurse planner wanted me to help create better COLLABORATION + COMMUNITY. Ahh, right up my alley. As the founder of YogaNursing®, I teach how yoga which means…
