Mindfully designed reflections & insights to help you slow down, reset, and feel more grounded in everyday life.

Root to Rise 🌱

Hello April and hello to you 😌

Yesterday I was out walking when I heard the unmistakable sound of geese honking overhead and looked up to see them flying, returning from the south for the arrival of our northern spring. I immediately felt hopeful! A reminder that spring is a season of returning, reconnecting, and the natural rhythm of the seasons.

I’ve also been watching a hyacinth bulb that I “planted” in a clear jar, its roots stretching downward into the water before the stem reaches upward. Another reminder: before we rise, we need to be grounded. Roots first, then blossoms. I’ve personally been carrying this theme with me into the spring season….get grounded first, then set roots, then get ready to grow!

As spring is slowly arriving all around, here are some reflective questions for you to ponder during this season of growth:

What practices—big or small—help you feel grounded and steady?
Where in your life do you feel the need to put down roots before you can grow?
How can you nurture yourself this season so that you can rise with more ease?

With you on your wellness journey, as you root to rise this spring 🌱🌸💛

With gratitude, Steph

P.S. Take a little time for yourself this April—sign up for the next Restorative Yoga Series or the Yoga Flow & Flowers Workshop 💐! More details below ⬇️

As we ping-pong between winter and spring, I’ve taken matters into my own hands by planting lots of hyacinth bulbs indoors! 🪻
