Tyger, tyger burning bright
Tyger Tyger, burning bright, 
In the forests of the night; 
What immortal hand or eye, 
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

And so begins The Tyger poem by William Blake. In many Asian cultures, we welcomed the year of the Water Tiger this month. Tigers have such a rep around the world, don't they?

It's said that a year that is influenced by the water element amplifies the characteristics of its corresponding Lunar calendar zodiac animal. So, 2022 is destined to be filled with strong spirit, health, and vitality since it's a tiger year! We got this, people.

I'm feeling that tiger vitality in the yoga courses I'm offering and with the cool courses my friends are leading, see below. And my little tiger roommate is doing great! Little Nabi kitty is the bestest and I'm so glad she's sharing her tiger-like energy covered in buckets of shedding cat fur with me. #partofthedeal #yearofthetiger

Also, I'm making these ridiculous, weekly, 1 minute videos of Korean Folk Tales featuring tigers. Here are the first two folktales, click each to peep:

Gayartri mantra yoga nidra virtual class

Mantra meditation during conscious relaxation is awesome
Join me from the nest of your home and deeply rest to the rhythm of chant 

The gayatri mantra is a set of sounds used by meditators to realize a higher state of consciousness symbolized by the sun. Practice at home as I chant, focusing on marma points in your body, like energy hot spots. This is a rare and unique practice! This beautiful gayatri yantra is by Yantra Wisdom.

The Yogi's Apothecary eBook Freebie
​Have you ever wondered about (or longed for) a deeper connection between your yoga & meditation practice and plants, food & herbs?

Did you know that some herbs have incredible abilities to strengthen your lungs for better breathing (pranayama)? And some plants can be used to prevent indigestion or fatigue so that you actually feel good enough to physically practice yoga.

There are plants to help you steady your mind so that meditation becomes easier and you drop into a supreme zone of bliss. Pretty incredible right? Brooke from the Wild Temple has created a FREE mini eBook from the Yogi's Apothecary where she shares what has been missing from our yoga & tantra practices in the West for too long. Click to get the eBook.
Meditation for your everyday life: 4-week virtual series with Kerry Maiorca
Wednesdays, Feb 23 - Mar 16 from 6-7:15pm CST
You've probably heard how good meditation is for you. But there's a dirty little secret that's rarely talked about: meditation doesn't work if you don't actually do it! For most people it just seems too cumbersome, time-consuming, or esoteric to incorporate in their busy everyday lives. 

If you're looking to start or restart a meditation practice that will work for your unique life circumstances and rhythms, this 4-week virtual workshop series will offer you structure, accountability, and simple but transformative ways to incorporate meditation and mindfulness into your daily life, no matter how busy you are. Each class will incorporate a presentation of meditation techniques, tips, and common pitfalls as well as a gentle yoga sequence to prepare the body for brief practices of meditation. No previous experience necessary. Register here.
