“Yoga Means Unity”—But at Whose Cost? “Your silence will not protect you.” — Audre Lorde

Not all silence is peace.
What does unity in yoga really mean anyway?

A new post on Three Cup Path.
✨Modern Rituals. Ancient Roots. Messy Magic.

What does that look like?

The Eclipse and the Inner Critic 🌙 Self-doubt casts shadows—try shining the light of compassion.

🌙 The Moon doesn’t rush back into the light, and neither should we.

On 3/14, the lunar eclipse reminds us:

✨ Self-doubt doesn’t mean failure—it’s just a passing shadow.
✨ Like the Moon, you are whole, even when you can’t see it.

The Power of Listening to Yourself Studies show that women are more likely to second-guess themselves. Confidence in your inner knowing grows with practice—and it starts with tuning in.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever had a gut feeling—then talked yourself out of it. ✋

Holding Space for the Dying Reflections on Love, Loss, and the Gift of Presence

Today, I reflected on how embracing life's heavier moments can move us. In accompanying loved ones through their final journeys, we encounter experiences that are both profoundly disruptive and deeply grounding. threecuppath.substack.com/p/holding-sp...

Find Your Center: A Guided Meditation 10 minutes. One strength. Shift your day.

✨ 10 minutes. One strength. A moment to reset.

We don’t always need to find strength—sometimes, we just need to remember it’s already there.

This meditation helps you reconnect with a core strength—the qualities that hold you up, even when life feels tough.

Resilience Starts Here: Leaning Into the Strengths You Already Have Positive psychology teaches us to start with what’s strong. Here’s how one strength changed everything for me.

When I first took the VIA Strengths Assessment, my top strength surprised me. I didn’t understand why it was considered a strength at all.

Turns out, it’s one of the things that has helped me navigate life’s hardest moments.

Sadly we'll likely see more of this.

“When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty."

-Baron de Montesquieu, 1746

Refuse. Resist. Ridicule.

We change things by what we do - by the example we show in the world of our beliefs.

What Do We Hold When There’s Too Much to Carry? When life overwhelms, the Three Cup Path reminds us to hold less, care gently, and tend to what matters most.

How are you doing right now? If one of your cups feels emptier than the others, what’s one tiny thing that might refill it—even a little?

Like Water on Stone, Yoga Softens Our Armor & Reveals Who We Are Not through force, but through presence. Not by breaking, but by softening.

We think change comes from effort, from force.
But even the hardest rock is shaped by water—
not by breaking, but by staying, by softening.

That, too, is yoga.

Why We Resist Joy—And Why We Can’t Afford To We silence joy in hardship, fearing it doesn’t belong. But what if joy is part of surviving?

Bracing for the worst, doomscrolling, holding your breath, and shutting out joy? You’re not alone. But joy isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.

Learn why we resist happiness and how joy fuels resilience.

PLUS, a 10-Second Joy Pause to break the cycle.

Joy is an Act of Resistance Resilience thrives in uncertain times through the power of joy.

Joy is not passive. It is not a luxury. It is fuel.

In a world that thrives on exhaustion, choosing joy is an act of defiance.

Today's newsletter is about reclaiming joy—not because everything is perfect, but because joy is what keeps us going.

✨ Read more + practice the Breath of Joy:

We survived the Great Depression. We can fight the Great Oppression—and ignite the Great Resistance.

Marianne Williamson made some really good points in her bid for DNC chair before endorsing Ken Martin. #liberalsofbucks

I keep seeing people respond to the presser today with "But the workers were white!" Don't fall into their trap. By arguing that these workers were white, you're still playing by their rules—you're accepting the false premise that DEI and competence are at odds.

Right back atcha! Overdue for face to face time!

Pretty sure it was just the takeover of POTUS and VP profiles

Slow Flow & Yoga Nidra: A Guided Practice for Inner Wisdom We begin with a reflective Tea Talk inspired by The Hermit card in the Tarot, followed by an audio-recorded yoga practice to nourish your mind, body, and soul.

Not only is it okay to retreat now and then, it's actually good for you.

The Hermit’s Call: Trust Yourself in 2025✨ The Tarot has spoken: this is the year of The Hermit. And honestly? I can’t think of a more perfect guide for the messy, unraveling times we’re living in.

Just joined Rednote—wow! Life in China is so different from what we're led to believe. The cultural interplay is amazing on the app (though I half-wonder if some of it is AI!)

When It Feels Like the World Is Burning Today, I felt a powerful urge to flee.

I started this Substack to share the messiness of life, but today wasn’t just messy—it was a complete shit show.

Your Practice for This Week Tying perfectly with our New Year's dive into self-worth, Demi Moore's galvanizing speech inspires our practice this week.

Feeling the weight of the world today? Take a few minutes for yourself with this grounding practice. You deserve it. 💛 open.substack.com/pub/threecup...

Put Down the Measuring Stick “…you will never be enough, but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.” - Demi Moore, Golden Globes acceptance speech, 1/5/25.

Demi Moore’s Golden Globes speech got me thinking—why are we still measuring ourselves against impossible standards? I wrote about my own “measuring sticks” and the struggles to let them go.

Curious? Take a peek:

In case you're having one of those days.
