Intentional Space: Living a Life Immersed in Mindfulness

Mindfulness, consciousness and awareness: Sam Eibling strives to embody these qualities in her daily activities. As the co-owner of Bloomington’s well-regarded cookware and foodstuff shop Goods for Cooks, and a practicing yoga instructor, Eibling has found a way to mesh her two occupations into a harmonious life.

As a yoga instructor, Eibling has been involved in various trainings since 2008. This March she took part in Yoga, Purpose and Action Leadership Intensive, a program developed by the organization Off the Mat Into the World. Participants reconnect, refine or define their utility in the world. The principles Eibling has cultivated are reflected in her business practices such as carefully choosing the items offered in her store; many are artisan pieces locally handmade from natural materials, suitable to be passed down to future generations.

I recently sat down with Eibling as she shared a few insights she has gained from this program. Read more. . .

Can Yoga Save The World?

Recently I was invited to write for The Limestone Post Magazine, a local online magazine celebrating Bloomington, Indiana and the surrounding area.  As any of my friends can tell you, I am in love with Btown and all it has to offer.  Often taken for granted by life-long residents, and not as well-known outside of the mid-west (unless you follow basketball), Bloomington is a hotbed of intellect, music, art, culture, cuisine and comedy.  To my friends back in Denver who asked why in the world I would move away, I described my town as a little less weird than Boulder, CO and without mountains.  But honestly, without a doubt, this is where the deepest part of my heart resides.  Limestone Post gives me an opportunity to share my thoughts and views on the things I love most and introduces me to other perspectives about this place called home.  Click on the photo above to read my first article.
