Mindfullness

May is mental health awareness month and therefore a very meaningful month for me. My current role as the founder of WellBe, a board certified patient advocate and a speaker on the topic of wellness and a holistic approach to health, all stemmed from losing my mom to suicide in 2010 following her battle with […]

We have reached out to the lighthouses in our teaching community to share some succinct, actionable insights with our community, as well as to call on us to be bold and envision how this shift can create a better world. Because extraordinary times call for extraordinary leadership.  COPING IN THE PRESENT Moving is a way […]

There’s an anxiety epidemic happening right now. Sometimes it’s loud. Sometimes it’s silent. But no matter who’s experiencing it, it’s always uncomfortable. And it doesn’t have to be. As someone who has experienced debilitating anxiety take over my mind and body, I’ve felt both — the loud and the silent anxiety. I’ve heard anxiety tell […]

Depression is tough. It can be all-consuming, and feel like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. But according to luminaries Russell Brand and Marianne Williamson, it doesn’t have to define you. At Wellspring, these two leaders shared a stage to talk about how to keep your light shining throughout the darkness. What […]

Read our Wanderlust 108 London 2022 Event Cancellation FAQ’s here  THE HEART OF WELLNESS These days, we think wellness is about more than how you practice, what you eat, or how much you sleep. In fact, it’s about more than you — it’s also about us, about our communities, our societies, our politics, and our […]

On a gray, rainy, intensely foggy late spring morning in New York City—the kind of morning that puts the goth in Gotham—I wondered just who gets up to slosh around in the snow muck and navigate grimy, puddled subway tunnels to make their way to lower Manhattan for a fitness class. On this bleak and […]

At Winterlust Taos 2022, we yoked the yin of practice with the yang of adventure… We embraced the exhilaration of chill as well as the warmth of the fireplace with friends. Between all these polarities, we were invited to find *presence* by our gifted guides: Elena Brower, Gina Caputo, Donovan McGrath of Amplified Yoga and […]

There are no better eyes through which to see Winterlust than Amie Engerbretson’s! Not only is this world-renowned pro skier, but as the daughter of a cinematographer, she’s inherited the eye and the know-how to capture the thrill of a fresh-tracks descent. We were so fortunate to have Amie lead ski sessions at Winterlust—and hop […]

Turns out having your own tribe might be better for you in terms of your health, rather than just accruing likes on your latest Instagram post. Adolescent times are tough: You’re getting to know yourself, facing the impending (and inevitable) “awkward” stage of pre-teendom, and likely pushing back against your parents—all the while taking on […]

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis about a year ago. I knew that I’d had hypothyroidism (I was told by my naturopath that since my mom, dad, and my two brothers had it, it made sense that I had it too) since I first got a full thyroid panel at the age of 20. Ever […]

Healthy has many definitions: “in good health,” “ not diseased,” “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.” But what does healthy really look like? We could argue that a healthy person has to be a certain weight, age, or body type. Yet, there is a unique and delicate balance of internal and external […]

On the outside, blood oranges look like any other of their thick-skinned, citrus comrades. You might even walk right past them in the grocery store, never knowing that this stunning variety of fruit has a striking red flesh and berry-like sweetness inside. And even if you are a blood orange enthusiast, perhaps you’re unaware of […]

In the past ten years, the power and potential of a healthy digestive system have garnered much attention. And though a new(ish) trend, the importance of this system is nothing revolutionary. It was a mere 3,000 years ago when the father of natural medicine, Hippocrates declared, “All disease begins in the gut.” Fast forward to […]

What would your 8-year-old self say to you today? Would you score a double high-five and a big ol’ smile? Would this young version of yourself be proud of the path you’re on, the decisions you’ve made, and the things you hold to be most important in life? Growing Up At some point in life we […]

Night after night for over six months we would all gather. 500 of us crammed in a room, sitting on the hard, cold, marble floor, chanting in a call and response format. Singing kirtan. Evening kirtan at the ashram was by far my favorite time of day. After hours of karma yoga (which often consisted […]

These classes were a part of the 21-Day Meditation Challenge with Light Watkins. Kickstart your meditation challenge and by purchasing the challenge for permanent ownership! Mantras are a powerful tool in meditation, especially for those who might be new to the practice. Meditation isn’t easy—it’s difficult for the mind to automatically negate all thoughts. We’re distracted by […]

Take some time to reflect on the elements of your dream. How might it relate to the question you asked? Perhaps it doesn’t make sense yet, and that’s okay. Just keep opening up communication. At some point, there will be a more consistent dialogue. As you begin to engage in this process in a consistent […]

Yoga begins now, in the present moment. Not the past, not the future, right now . . . and now . . . and now. Part of the mental discipline of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness is that we must do it consistently so that we build an impression in our mind. This impression compels us […]
