Some days you can’t be so ginger and you really have to crank that self adjustment.💫

The best 💖

Matsyasana - Fish Pose, with blocks

💝 Crack your heart open. 💝

The best way to start your morning (5:45am in the studio) is with a block on middle height running vertically between the shoulders along the spine and a block at the highest height positioned horizontally under (the base of) your head. 💕

Often your yoga teacher will cue intention setting at the beginning of class. This is an excellent time to ask the cosmos a question - you’ll have your answer by the end of the hour. 🎐

Yogini AM : Cold brew + pink coco H2O & whip🤎🩷🩵

Sick of it

Yoga for nausea - calm the nervous system. 

It is so complicated let us discuss it ad nauseam and get nowhere?! Let’s not: the truth will feel effortless. 

It will not always be easy

Virabhadrasana A - Warrior I Pose

Virabhadrasana A - Warrior I Pose

I birthed my four babies at home and I have always known intuitively never to speak about it in common company. When your life challenges conventional - conformist - foundational beliefs, the threatened masses will act out (and sometimes with virile hostility). Thinking ‘differently’ from the majority is a sure bet side effect of a consistent yoga practice and is mostly fun, but on occasion you will feel confused, misunderstood and alone (or even outcast and humiliated when you are the more outspoken type). Welcome to rare and lasting inner peace and outer beauty! No one said it would be easy. 💖

PS :  If you are not having these black sheep issues - get thee to more yoga classes! 🤭😋🙃

Try-not-to-cough Asana: during some (a handful at most, hopefully) yoga classes all you are doing is trying not to cough. And on those days that is more than enough.💗

“Happy New Year”

Natarajasana - Dancer Pose beauty 🦢 

Natarajasana - Dancer Pose

“Happy New Year”: Buried alive in the bustling routine of family life, I find myself awkward, unprepared, and downright stumped when presented with normal adult socializing and interacting. When in debilitating doubt, which I currently am (obvious names, places, and details completely eluding my overcrowded brain), just BE KIND (not witty or smart or most accomplished or pageant beautiful). Simply begin with an easygoing “Happy New Year” and do not shy away, because a second chance - another opportunity to connect - may not present itself in the near future. 

What are you building?

Add flourish to your asanas. 🐚 

Everyday around 10am, for eight days straight, our family of six, (with cousins in tow,) headed to the beach. My youngest, age 3, would promptly ask me to “build a road”. We scooped, dug, piled, grated, patted, and decorated gaping holes, super highways, winding rivers, picturesque villages, connecting tunnels, long islands, creepy faces, and even a giant sea serpent monster. What were we making? We never knew. We just kept constructing.
