Surrender
Posted on April 26, 2020 by Caryn Emme
I used to think surrendering meant giving up. It used to mean letting go in a negative way…you know, wave the white flag because you’ve lost the fight. I’ve been challenged with the idea of surrender in my yoga practice. So much of yoga… Continue Reading “Surrender”

Five Years of Writing
Posted on April 13, 2020 by Caryn Emme

Finding Ease When Things Get Difficult
