A swimsuit in a snowstorm? 👙❄️


Hi, Reader —

Time change in Montreal (and other eastern time zones). Do you feel it in your body?

I’m still in Costa Rica with the family, but heading home next week. I’m happy to return to longer days and more light, even if the weather is still unpredictable. March in Montreal is wild! We can be basking in warm sunshine one day and bracing for an ice storm the next.

These times of year always remind me why I’m fascinated by the idea of seasonal living. One of my teachers is known for saying, “You don’t wear a swimsuit in a snowstorm!” How we choose to enact each day makes a difference depending on the season we’re in.

And how often do we intentionally mark these moments of seasonal change?

Spring Equinox is around the corner – a moment when day and night briefly meet in near balance. It’s a reminder of equanimity, of striving for steadiness and alignment even when perfect balance is a bit of a myth.

And with the equinox comes the next edition of The Imprint.​

The Imprint is a five-day meditation container where we pause together at the seasonal threshold — to stabilize, create calm, reset energy, and re-orient before stepping fully into what’s next. Each quarter, I create a sequence of meditations designed to meet the moment for the season ahead.

And in many ways, it’s meditation, simplified.

You don’t need to figure out what technique to use or create some impossibly pristine conditions before you start. You simply press Play (or “Join” if coming live), and the practice begins, with guidance every step of the way. For five days, we move through a daily rhythm together – breathing, moving, focusing our attention, and letting the practice do its work.

Our next Imprint begins March 16, and registration is open now!

As spring begins to gather momentum, The Imprint is an efficient and easy way to pause and mark the shift consciously. I’d love to guide you through this season’s practices.

So much love,
Sara

P.S. Did you see my email on Sunday? I explained an important shift in how you will receive the recordings, starting this session. You can continue to practice with recordings all season long when you join my membership! Try three months, and receive The Imprint plus so much more! Otherwise access to the recordings ends on March 22, the equinox weekend.

P.P.S. If The Imprint isn’t for you this spring season, you can click here and I’ll skip you on the next few emails. I will send one more Sunday night just in case you change your mind – and you’ll still stay on my list for everything else I share.

Hi, Reader — Last weekend’s Mother’s Day practice with Kimiko was so beautiful: a room full of amazing women, and holding space for the mothers within us and around us. Through the lens of Kundalini yoga, Mother’s Day can open into something wider than one role or one relationship. It becomes an honouring of the mothering current itself – the part of us that nourishes, protects, creates, listens, steadies, and holds life as it changes. Some of us mother children. Some of us mother through...

Hi, Reader — Early May, and the city is literally in bloom! I love it, and not just because it’s also my name!! 🌸🌸 I love seeing the cherry blossom trees in NDG – they are so iconic for this time of year. And Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend, too. I have to admit, I’m a bit funny about Mother’s Day. I LOVE all the holidays. Going wild with decorations is my jam, the fun and whimsy of it all just lights me up. And with Mother’s Day, there is also something about the Hallmark aspect that...

Hi, Reader — Here we are in the last week of April! We’ve had beautiful sunshine, I got to share a wonderfully intimate Imprint gathering on Saturday morning (after a fun and slightly rowdy Katonah session before!), the Habs are hanging in there, I’m feeling much better – and in my little corner of the world, things feel very alive right now. I’ve said it before: I love this time of year! Renewal, hope, fresh inspiration. Things are blooming, and there’s real desire in the air – a forward...
