Mindful Living Studio global offers

Vessel Yoga is Mindful Living.
​
5 Stages of Vessel Yoga
1:   Aspiration (heart & head)
2:  Befriending & Clearing (cultivate discernment by developing compassion for self)
3:  Strengthening & Balancing (getting to know the body and what you need in your practice)
4:  Stillness Flow (calming the central nervous system to clear the limbic brain to heal the physiology)
5:  Oneness ​(effortless resting in the Field of Limitless Consciousness) 
All practices utilize a variety of movements and forms to develop the mind first for Executive Function. 
Perceiving the manifest world as a play of 
opposites with clarity is the first step. 
Then 
emotional & mental imbalances naturally begin to clear as we align & strengthen the mind & body. 
Stillness Flow is experienced with and without movement as the underlying Field. 
​During all practices we may discover Oneness always here now when we are clear and Present. 


Vessel Yoga begins when we turn to courageously look inside without trying to fix anything. This begins the renewal of mind. 
Vessel Yoga movements transform the chemistry of stress by infusing the body with fluid movements (micro & large) that release deep, unintegrated holding patterns.  Through the exploration of gravity and levity the shape of the forms spontaneously and organically reveal themselves.  These organic expressions are more beautiful and delicious than any form we may have seen or tried to create. 
This Yoga, Union, emerges when we let go of striving and judgment. 
Every posture is perfect when we are in balance. 
As the
institutum, the newest and largest organ discovered in the human body, 
​
clears the energy body opens and we experience mental & emotional balance. 
We become attuned to
 innate Wisdom as the Inner Teacher that is available to advise, comfort and heal. 
Presence or Being now guides life with ease & enjoyment as we remain in Union with It. 

From the Place of Plenty we then interface with the outer world bringing an enlightened perspective
​to transform what was perceived as a problem into a royal opportunity for right action. 
​
​"We cannot solve our problems with the thinking we used when we
created them."
​~ Albert Einstein
  
We enter this experience of Inner Mastery when we skillfully sustain an alert state of Rest regardless of outer circumstances.
We dwell in the hub of all possibilities, conscious of the manifest and unmanifest worlds,
willing to not act or act with right timing.


Functioning from a foundation of integration is a requirement for any leader. 
In Neuroscience this integrated hub of awareness is called the linkage of differentiated systems.
Leadership experts are citing Self Realization and Inner Mastery as essential development for any leader.
These have long been yogic terms.

The raw play of opposites offers a window into the quantum where the two worlds of matter and spirit meet.
Discovering and dwelling in this balanced, grounded yet expansive state is the practice.
Our best decisions flow from this spacious clear easeful state of engagement.  


Mindful Living is the renewed mind clearly perceiving conscious relationship with the seen and unseen worlds.
Vessel Yoga practices activates our innate skillful means by developing the learning lab inside.
When right conditions prevails Inner Mastery naturally develops.
It is the Fruit of the practice.

​ Programs & Services
​Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is the foundation of Vessel Yoga.  MBSR, created by UMass School of Medicine, has been the foundation of all my teaching since studying with founder Jon Kabat-Zinn in the 1990s. Vessel Yoga evolved as the mindful movement practice of MBSR in corporate, academic, community settings, and my private Mindful Living Studio.  Through specific micro movements and individually modified larger movements the interstitial body opens allowing prana or life force to flow through the thousands of microscopic nadis, or little rivers.  The interstitial is considered the newest organ in the human body recently discovered in the West but probably known in the East for thousands of years.  By clearing the interstitium physical balance is restored as mental and emotional conditioning dissolves allowing life force and consciousness to flow freely.  By becoming present with Presence inner doorways open to explore the quantum realm where all things are possible. The requirement is balance and ease. We can't make this happen. We can create right conditions. This is the mindfulness practice of Vessel Yoga.  
​
Coaching Programs - Develop mind, brain, & body to improve quality and function in the workplace and your private time.  May include all aspects of conscious living: diet, communication skills, stress management, career planning, problem solving, decision making, values clarification and other life skills.

"The one aim of this Yoga is an inner self-development
by which each one who follows it can in time discover the One Self in all
and evolve a higher consciousness than the mental, a spiritual and supramental consciousness
which will transform and divinize human nature."   ~ Sri Aurobindo, Integral Yoga



​When we know how to cultivate the inner landscape all things are possible.

The Renewed Mind opens the inner doorway
to a direct revelation of the subtle realm.
Where our reality is created.

By uniting the subtle and physical dimensions
Vessel Yoga Mindful Living practices rapidly improve quality of life

for mental & emotional balance, physical health,
spiritual awakening & 
life satisfaction. ​

​How?


​Through specific practices that rewire the brain and nervous system.
Clearing debris in the physical body allows bones, tissues and fluids to be restored.
The energy and light body can then flow freely through the physical structure.

We embrace practices proven to develop the mind as a regulator.

Once we understand Mind is not the content of thinking
we access the executive brain, tap free will, the witnessing Presence,
and 
discover an open window into consciousness as the Wisdom Nature.

We start here: Renewal of Mind.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Until we know how to renew of mind, where we look through a lens without judgment,
old patterns will continue to play out.  They appear real.  But they are not.
You will experience this for yourself.
As you practice old programming dissolves.
You become free.

By intentionally paying attention as life unfolds we begin to awaken.
As mind develops the inner view of witnessing Presence opens where 
now we can choose consciously to act instead of react to life.

Renewed mind aligns us with wisdom, purpose and vision.
Beliefs and perceptions change our physiology.
Reshape the brain.
Clear and enliven the physical body.
Restore fluid & stable movement.
We reclaim health of mind and body.
Through Being as Presence.
​

As we change our perceptions of the inner environment.
DNA codes express greater health.
We are more alive.  Present with Presence.
Enjoyment of Life becomes our foundation.
How we live life moment to moment with balance.
Regardless of outer circumstances.

That's the science.
​
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"The term Yoga itself means to unite, combine, harmonize or integrate.
A truly yogic approach is inherently an integrative approach,
harmonizing body, prana, senses, mind and consciousness. It cannot be reduced to the body alone.
A yogic approach to healing is not a specialization or a side-line technique but requires a synthesis of all levels and aspects of healing.
That is why classical Yoga has an eight-fold approach from lifestyle practices and values through asana, pranayama to samadhi.
If we reduce Yoga to asana, we are not practicing Yoga or an integrative approach but falling into the same trap of mainly focusing on the outer material reality and losing track of the inner reality of prana, mind and consciousness."   ~  David Frawley

​​"What a shock!  Coming to my senses after being shaken awake by encountering a timeless woman with a keen intellect, unusual wit, dynamic seasoned passionate teacher, coach and facilitator with an orchestrating presence. With the skill of a compassionate yet commanding military drill instructor she swiftly took action to ensure a simple but intense curious exploration shaped the foundation for our objectives. What could be intense debilitating humility cultivating the inner landscape is explored for spiritual awakening. She spontaneously ignites multidimensional learning weaving harmonious lessons inviting us to bridge outer with the infinite inner world. This engaging playful paradigm is teaching me how to live in my body and perceive multidimensionally. I'm waking up!"                                  ~ Anonymous

For 25 years as owner and director of Mindful Living Studio (MLS), I've offered education & training to groups, academic, corporate wellness, and private coaching clients.  Before becoming an entrepreneur, I held executive leadership positions as I simultaneously studied holistic healing arts.  I received initiations into mystery paths.  Neuroscience and quantum physics nourish my endless curiosity and explain what I experience in the inner world.  The joy of observing people awaken as they get out of pain, find hope & tap the power of faith is my passion.  Some say I've walked in the world undercover as a mystic easily perceiving things invisible to others.  As a sensitive and intuitive I am able to perceive multidimensionally.  We all can.  My unique talent is quickly detecting what's out of balance and discerning a skillful way forward that mindfully integrates mind, body and being.  

I created MLS to offer an enlightened life perspective and empowered way of life to anyone ready and willing to pursue balance by changing what isn't working.  For several years, I've had a wait list.  Individuals study with me for many years and corporate assignments have run deep and wide.  Through a slow organic attrition process space is now open for a few coaching clients to meet via technology.  Through technology, MLS Global expands outreach to better serve humanity providing self-paced eCourses and retreat Immersions accelerate development and spiritual awakening for embodiment of Life Satisfaction.   Broadening my scope to planetary comes as spiritual direction to go to all the world.
 
​​I live what I teach.  It is a practice.  I get up when circumstances knock me down.  Resilience is developed through mindful living.  Life is bold, sweet and inspiring as I'm cruising through my 60s stronger, wiser, and fit for duty!  Not bad for a high school dropout, single mom on government assistance, & cancer survivor, who became curious about how people change their lives and thrive.  Formal education brought honors followed by a graduate degree.  Along the way I discovered Yoga, a range of Holistic Healing Arts, and studied with indigenous medicine teachers.  As an education and training professional I served in military and civilian settings:  officer cadet school, banking, healthcare, and as a contractor with UArizona School of Medicine offering alcohol and substance abuse prevention for the US military.  I retired from teaching in academia where I designed and taught courses to develop Mindful Living skills (Yoga and Inner Mastery).  As an entrepreneur for over 25 years I support all willing to learn Mindful Living skills to access inner resources, climb out of life pits, avoid burnout, create meaningful lives of purpose, thrive with health, vision and enjoyment.  I'm an earth sculptress creating teaching gardens, healing space designer, and art of all kinds.  I'm a world traveler as the great mystery muse directs my steps to places near and far.  I am married and have two children, three grandchildren, two great grands, along with two spoiled cats and a school of gold fish.   

In my life journey, I devoured endless resources on consciousness.  Tough before the internet made it easy.  My insatiable thirst for knowledge was wet through ancient wisdom teachings, comparative religions, and quantum physics.  Transformational practices of Yoga and other mystical teachings offer a time-proven path to cultivate life balance and spiritual awakening.  Science now can measure how these practices rapidly reshape the brain, rewire the nervous system, awaken the energy body, and more.  It's an exciting time as more individuals feel the call of the quantum world to embrace the realm of all possibilities with a noble heart, steady mind, and balanced Vessel.  We can transform ourselves and the world.  It is a choice we each have been given the opportunity to make when we know it is possible.  

Vessel Yoga is a culmination of my studies and many years of practices that support human awakening to tap fullness of our Divine potential with enjoyment and ease.  I have received many initiations to carry these consciousness teachings.  I am continually humbled by the bestowal of this honor.  I am founding Ambassador for Take Back The Garden (TBTG), a conscious business initiative to reclaim balance in individuals, the human family, and all relations.  Funded by MLS Global profits, TBTG is an experiment in conscious business inviting the human family to come together to free us from limiting beliefs and behaviors while cultivating balance.   more
