Learning to pause through Kundalini Yoga
What began as a personal practice in 2014 has grown into a path of teaching, learning and service. Writing this from Sri Lanka, where I am doing my second year of three-year Level 3 Kundalini Yoga teacher training. Even as a facilitator, I am still learning how to...
Pause Before You Push
This weekend brings a Full Moon in Taurus on Monday, October 26, and the start of Mercury retrograde on Saturday, October 24. In astrology, Taurus is associated with money, security and what we value. This Full Moon invites reflection on how we use our resources, what...
Why We Chant So Much in Kundalini Yoga
If you have ever joined my classes, you may have wondered about chanting in Kundalini Yoga: why we do it so often, what the words mean, and whether you need to follow a particular religion to participate. In Kundalini Yoga, we use chanting as a bio-neurological...
October 2026 Powerful Dates to Watch
If October has felt unusually intense, you are not imagining it. One of my favorite astrologers, Alex Myles, names six powerful astrology dates this month when wishes speed up and hidden feelings get spoken. Tomorrow is the second of those days. So why don’t we work...

I found this photo of myself from six years ago, when Rebel Yoga, the yoga studio I co-owned in Makati, was still open. Inside that black bag is my 38-inch Paiste Planet Earth Gong. The gong alone weighs about 42 pounds. Add the stand and my other equipment, and there...

One Clear Step This Virgo New Moon
Today is a New Moon (at 11:27 AM, Manila time), and it is in practical, resourceful, and detail-oriented Virgo. Its energy supports learning, improving our skills and doing things with care. It can also bring out perfectionism, so the invitation is not to get...
Adapting to Change When Plans No Longer Make Sense
The heavy rains and flash floods of the past few weeks have changed many of our plans. Sometimes the weather makes the decision for us. But these disruptions have also made me think about something larger: how do we respond when circumstances change and the plans we...
A Meditation for the Pisces Full Moon Eclipse
Today, August 28, 2026, brought a Full Moon and partial lunar eclipse in Pisces, the final sign of the zodiac. The Full Moon peaked at 12:18 PM Manila time. The eclipse itself wasn’t visible from the Philippines because the Moon sat below the horizon at that hour. The...
Can You Trust Your Intuition?
Trust your intuition. We hear it all the time. But how do you know if what you’re feeling is intuition, fear, or just overthinking? We have more information than ever, which makes it easy to keep searching for more answers before making a decision. But sometimes what...
