We can choose fear, or we can perceive to be fearLESS... 🌵🌹 It all depends which direction we choose, & I choose the positive. I choose hope. I choose the light. 🌹🌵 I could be upset about something silly like laugh lines in n an aging face, or be grateful. For how else would anyone know I’m smilinng under my mask? 🌵🌹 We choose. We have the power. We can move mountains with faith; But we cannot do it, if we fall victum, to our own limitations. 🌹🌵 Sure, succulents have thorns, but so do roses 🌵🌹 How would You wish to see things differently from where you are? 🌵🌹 Namaste my beautiful yogi friends and I cannot wait to practice with you soon!

The best things along the journey of life, are not purchased, but freely given, not a commodity, but delightfully exchanged, not guaranteed, but freed. I am overwhelmed at the outpouring of support, and feel your healing positivity wash 🧽 vet me with reiki goodness and the Most awesome vibes!! 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for Kindness 🙏 Thank you for Love 🙏 Thank you for Friendship 🙏🙏🙏 The abundance of my blessings is overwhelming and I am excited for the new moderation and growth withing my yoga practice before me. 🙏🙏🙏 Change can be scary, however, when we know better... It is our perception that can change, and the Kleshas, or cycle of suffering, are mitigated down to mere data. Information before us, and yet still bliss, at our core to house. No matter how far we May feel from healing, struggle, or goals, Nothing. Nothing is possible without breath and Pranyama, or Life Force. And my the FOuRCE be with you yogis, 🤣 for it is only this generation, who will be able to deliver this philosophy and ease life’s troubles, Will all come down to Y. O. U. 🙏🙏🙏 How will you share the benefits of yoga, or your practice with others today? (at Los Angeles/Hollywood California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5GsCnDTt1/?igshid=1m75jjbnmrdpk

Hello my yogi friends, I’ve missed you so much!! 🙏🙏 As we meet the physical, mental, and carrying challenges of life, I am reminded that yoga is so much more about what we CAN do, rather than what we cannot... If we focus on the positivity of the moment, give our selves attainable goals, and dedicate the spirit to healthful momentum, there is the potential of wellness in our path. 🙏🙏 If we take a challenge that is TOO great, our bodies can form armor within our gross anatomy, circulatory functions, and other Koshas, which are simply mechanisms the mind-body is using protect ourselves from stress of any kind. 🙏🙏 If we open our hearts to the moment and accept where we are, when we are, then we have the potential to advance forward through the goodness instilled in our thoughts, and shared throughout the entire mind-body system. 🙏🙏 I am hopeful to regain the ability for full practice with my current treatment plan, and very much look forward to seeing y’all on the mat, in the studio, or IGTV in the near future when I can make that possible. 🙏🙏 So much love and Namaste my yogi family, Jeff aka @goodearthyoga 🙏🙏 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmS9Nwjdy0/?igshid=n01dz1k5pbl7

Think of your biggest goal... Now remember Life is progress, not perfection. You are exactly where you are meant to be on your path. Right this present moment. Can you find the joy in pursuing your higher self? Or do you become riddled with judgement... Neither is wrong, as long as it is honest. With pure awareness, we move forward. We try smarter, not harder. We try kindness, not hate. We create positivity, instead of falling victim to negativity; if we take the stand for better ourselves. 🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♂️ This is a challenging time for me. My body is riddled with advanced osteoarthritis, underlying injuries, and the residual effects of permanent nerve damage. 🧘🏻‍♂️ I stand for healing and wellness 🧘🏻‍♂️ I stand for positivity and empowerment 🧘🏻‍♂️ I stand beside my fellow human beings in insistence upon full equality 🧘🏻‍♂️ I stand for the spirituality in all of us, so deeply honored 🧘🏻‍♂️ I stand for hope in a better future, in deep gratitude of the abundant blessings I know to day. You are a blessing, not just to the power over your own life, but ALL the lives we touch. And while this time has led me to a more private self practice to navigate this time, I look forward to building the strength that will rise to meet any of life’s challenges with a cool and calm confidence. 🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♂️ I do so, because of what we’re share. Namaste beautiful souls! It is truly the brightest of lights that shines within me that sees, loves, honors, and appreciates YOU!! Much gratitude, Jeff aka @goodearthyoga https://www.instagram.com/p/CDT2WmEDeJK/?igshid=loi0jiad6u8q

“What hurts you, blessed you.” - Rumi 📿📿 How can you take the act of perception, and apply this insight to this present moment? 📿📿 Namaste and have a beautiful week ahead yogis, Jeff a.k.a. @GoodEarthYoga 📿📿 (at Los Angeles/Hollywood California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvfdHzjPsH/?igshid=1j3qscfwqiknr

With yoga, things are always looking up. Without it, we spiral down. 🌞🌞 There is no stasis. We are moving forward, or regressing back. Since the Big Bang, time is moving forward and there is nothing we can to do stop it. 🌞🌞 So honor where you are. Today. Think neither of trying to secure distant future, nor of regret for the past. Simply look up to the presence that gently beats with each cycle of breath. (inhale) “I breathe in” (exhale) “I breathe out” 🌞🌞🌞 What will you find in the quiet of this moment? See your goals. Feel their strength and flexibility. Settle into your own grounding energy and rise...to honor your higher self, and the person you know you can be. 🌞🌞 Namaste yogis and have a beautiful day!!

To chase the GU from your system, we must wring out our bodies, minds, and spirits. They work together crossing systems in a way yoga can support. Twist. And SHOUT it O. U. T. 🌈 🌈 🌈 (at Los Angeles/Hollywood California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBlokCXDqW5/?igshid=gf7nwm6p2prz

When we are truly centered in the self, we find that “self” is a collection of stories. Self, gives people an idea of what stories they want to tell themSELVES. We as humans connect with story. It is how traditions are passed from one caring generation to the next. Stories help to process, entertain, learn, memorize, share, listen, and be heard. If you have a story, and we all do, share it! Listen to others!! The. Let it go.. For we are not a haphazard assembly of others impressions. Or even our own. We are the soul that exists in between the chapters. We are the embodiment of energy and matter, manifested through the miracle of life and capable of miracles. Every time we eat, physical food is transformed into metaphysical energy. YOU can perform miracles. YOU are not destined for an ending not yet written. YOU have the power to define yourself and what you want. And if you need support, invest and n your yoga community and reach out! Live, Laugh, Love, and remember that only YOU have the power over your own actions. How will you use your story, to advance yourself today? Namaste yogis, Jeff aka @goodearthyoga (at Estancia La Jolla) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBioV7HjNr6/?igshid=olxzpq94qw1u

So much beauty in the world, if only we can slow down long enough to appreciate it! It’s not comfortable to see past conflict. It takes work. It takes coming to the mat with an open and un-attached mind. With a theme of freedom-from-attachment, we can better shed the systemic misperceptions of the past, to truly see things as they are. In that present moment, there is a divine truth, to calm and us see things as they truly are: #Vidya Or at least a purity of intention that will free our hearts, minds, and spirits, to join in unison, while preserving the independence of our individual and shared bliss. Namaste my friends! I will be back soon to offer: #FREE Vinyasa #Yoga Hosted #DAILY at 1pm @GoodEarthYoga #Livestream #IGTV Tag a friend you ❤️ Share #DailyYoga (at Santa Monica Mountains) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBf-aPaDUe5/?igshid=134keljgrzej4

What a blessing to meet new friends that inspire us in ways they do not know. Thank you @mittseely @alexisseely for inspiring early evening practice yesterday... MUCH Needed and thank you!! 🦋🦋🦋 Life is not as efficient as a line, the shortest distance between two points. If you ask a building contractor, they will tell you...there is no such thing as a straight line. 🦋🦋🦋 Somewhere between two extremes, there is always tour truth. Not what we think, fear, or even hope...but what is. 🦋🦋🦋 Perception gives us the gift of the present moment. For without attachment, is the only way, we can free ourselves to see clearly. Namaste yogis. Happy #Pride and keep up the fight!! #yoga4blm . . . 🏡 @estancialajolla 🩳 @vuoriclothing 👕 @lululemonmen 💎 @goodearthyoga 🧘🏻‍♂️ @calvmonster 🙏 @alomoves @aloyoga 🛠 @mandukayoga (at Estancia La Jolla) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdlJ6tjPa0/?igshid=m0hr3ngjdsic

🧘🏻‍♂️ 🌳 If you cannot stand and fight. Sit and rest. Do what you can. Just like yoga, reset your calm. Your ease. This will serve you and give you power to weather your practice. 🏊🏼‍♂️🌊 Do not fight to find the balance, fight to stay calm, and use your voice when and how it matters. How we express is our own choice, and I honor all forms that have to be stated loud and clear. ❤️🥰 Reserve what you need to move forward and celebrate the strength and unity of our voices. This is a time to change. A time to listen. A time to speak out. A time to collect and use our combined strengths. 🕉📿 And if you need some love, positive yoga vibes, or an ear to listen... @GoodEarthYoga is here. Squatting in the the sand of Mother Earths healing energy. 🌎 🏥 Namaste my beautiful yogi friends!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CBbIga8DVA7/?igshid=en6n76isxzfn

Wherever we go, let us do what we can to make a difference: In the way we speak to one another. To the door held open for a stranger. To the non-required ‘thank you’. To smiling in your eyes behind your mask, And the continued efforts of equality every. For as we fight, the Trump administration is working on legalizing the discrimination of our #lgbtq family during #pride. Don’t take my word for it, but find your cause and fight. Fight TOGETHER. All lives do matter, but we must fight, with love and kindness if I have to!! Lol, with #love #kindness & #equality always in ALL WAYS #Yoga4BLM (at Huntington Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBYQD6wDEqO/?igshid=1cndpzmp5fq2f

Looking back on the past several weeks, how can one recap, whenwe are just learning to understand: 🦋 How to listen...differently. 🦋 How to share...differently. 🦋 How to support...differently. 🦋 How to grow...differently. Is there anything harder than change? 🦋🦋🦋 It takes A LOT of pressure to make a diamond. Or what is it about gravity, that inclines a star to implode, before exploding. Earths core does not melt effortlessly into its molten core. Gravity is an opposition of forces. Both sides. NOT human nature. We hold the power to tip the scales of justice, and use our shared resources to do so. 🦋🦋🦋 Now is the time where we have to get back to work DIFFERENTLY, together DIFFERENTLY, and holding ourselves accountable DIFFERENTLY. Conversing and listening in a new way. 🦋🦋🦋 Technology supports us and hurts us. We are flooded with images, and while I will practice in silence for the next week (no 1pm Daily officially) you may see me there for the live surprise. I read what was out there and have been blessed to... Make new friends. Support organizations in need. Find #Yoga4BLM to remember that even from the four corners of my mat, we can change. From within, or without, just change. 🦋🦋🦋 Embrace the good. Feel our strength. Know my love is real and that I am not only here to listen, but act in having uncomfortable conversations (for my life is filled with comforts) talk about hard things (because yoga brings me ease) and celebrate the beauty of a unified strength that will no longer rest in the face of social injustice. 🦋🦋🦋 I stand with you. Not silent, but listening, speaking, donating, offering, praying and loving ALL of my brothers and sisters with a desire in their heart to create a better tomorrow for us all!! Namaste and I will be here. Reflecting, practicing, and finding the beat way to appropriate the limited physical resources I have while #healingthroughyoga. And if you want class, or lease seek out and search free classes from @alomoves @joshkrameryoga @ashleygalvinyoga @andrew7sealy @caleyalyssa @larugayoga @timsenesiyoga @fightmasteryoga or @goodearthyoga past series. 🦋🦋🦋 Namaste!!

Yoga, we know as the “union” of body, mind, and spirit. It is not one pose or another, it is not a breath exercise, or the act of non-harming itself. It is a philosophy to me... 🕉 🕉🕉 It is a path to wellness. It is the joy we seek, and the energy with which that joy is shared. It is the love that unites us. It is processing the pain that can separate us. It is the strength to ensure that which we never imagined. 🕉🕉🕉 As we focus on large and small issues, I take a personal challenge to look even deeper to all areas of my life: What else can I do? How may I can contribute, and if not with money, what energy does the world need. 🕉🕉🕉 Yoga is the conduit by which you not only feel better about yourself, but we project our best selves outward to encourage goodness in others. 🕉🕉🕉 Be the light you wish to see. Celebrate the good, and never keep another genuine compliment to yourself again. Share a kind word with a stranger, and see the friend you make in the world. 🕉🕉🕉 And if you want to join, FREE Daily Community Hosted Yoga... @goodearthyoga is here at 1pm (PDT) to grow, flow...and GLOW: You. Are. Awesome. Let’s celebrate with YOGA!! (at Los Angeles/Hollywood California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBN-vwBDnZu/?igshid=1espobdnhlehp
