Yoga and Hippie Stuff

Happy day of gratitude everyone! I'm grateful for Mother Earth 🌎 Sending you blessings and peace from Berkeley! #fall #leaves #outdoors #nature #yoga #yogi #yogini #pose #yogateacher #thanksgiving #outside #asana #dancer (at Tilden Regional Park)

Gratitude is not about you having more than someone else. It's not about some ego driven acknowledgement of what you have that others don't. Gratitude is humbleness, it's knowing that compared to the vastness of the universe you are a miracle being. You are small and in that smallness you are infinite and whole. Be grateful for your voice, your body, your grace, and your power to create. Be humbled by the fact that you are a soul with a purpose. Be grateful but not at the expense of other beings. #grateful #gratitude #thanksgiving #humble #humbled #yoga #yogini #yogi #yogateacher

Boyfriend made the bed today!!!! 💁 and then I messed it up again 😏 #lol #madethebed #amazing #incredible #unbelievable #netflixandchill (at Berkeley, California)

Opening up the hips, releasing tension and emotion, and gaining a hella good stretch in the process! I notice when I am tense this pose hurts A LOT, but when I relax and breathe then my hips open wider and it's not painful. The body is an amazing vessel 🙏💖 #yoga #yogini #yogi #yogaheals #yogaandchill #sandbags #weightbearing #stretch #baddhakonasana #pose #asana #yogateacher #practice #release #letgo #breathe (at Berkeley Yoga Center)

Smooth yoga practice to finish off my day. I taught my teens class today and felt so appreciative of them. I really love what I do and it makes me so happy. I hope everyone can be aligned to their purpose and find what makes them happy. #yoga #yogini #yogaheals #simpleposes #realyoga #realyogabodies #real #handstand #simpleposes #night #peace #grateful (at Berkeley Yoga Center)

Spending time with my animals is by far my favorite thing to do to de stress and gain a sense of calm. It gives me a chance to place things into perspective by allowing them to teach me presence and contentment. Compassion is a great gift 🙏🐶🐾 #walk #dogs #pets #love #compassion #dogpark #trail #bayarea #berkeley #mindfulness #marina #eastbay #california (at Berkeley, California)

I've been feeling some intense anxiety lately, so I practice #dolphin pose to find my strength, to keep myself challenged, and to remember to remain flexible and not rigid. Also a prep for pincha mayurasana, this pose is one that never fails to get me back into focus! #yoga #yogini #yogaheals #realyoga #simpleposes #realyogabodies #practice #asana #pose #strength #anxiety

Birthday flowers still going strong! And I got my handmade necklace today, blue apatite stone to help me get clear and focused 💫✨ Blue always reminds me of my favorite place in the world: the beach! 💙 (at Berkeley, California)

My perfect day? Yoga & Chill 😜 #yoga #uttanasana #forwardfold #realyogabodies #realyoga #simpleposes #asana #practice #chill #yogaandchill #hangout

Taught a workshop for the holiday season today and it reminded me of how much this practice can be such a life saver!!! Reminding ourselves of our own power to take challenges head on with wiser and more impactful action. I love this yoga practice so much! #yoga #pyramidpose #parsvottanasana #grateful #practice #yogaheals #peace #simpleposes #realyoga #realyogabodies #holidays (at Berkeley Yoga Center)

Yes, let us mourn for those who have lost their lives innocently. Let us mourn for Paris and all the trauma they have experienced. Let us also mourn for Syria, Palestine, Congo, and all our neighboring countries who also experience trauma on a daily basis. Let us mourn with the world but never forget to find the light even in the darkest of days. "Amour la lumier de l'obscurite qui suit". #prayforparis #lettherebepeaceonearth #peaceinthemiddleeast #peace
