Word of the Day: BEGIN People always ask me, "How do you stay so disciple in your yoga practice and fitness routine? How do you CONTINUE to stay so CONSISTENT?" My answer: the key to CONTINUING is to BEGIN...AGAIN, and AGAIN and AGAIN. Each day I step on the mat or into a gym I feel like I am just BEGINing AGAIN. And thats because I approach it with a BEGINNERS MIND and a STUDENTS HEART. That way there is always something new to learn, it hopefully never gets boring, and you're excited to BEGIN AGAIN, the next day. So don't worry about CONTINUING, just keep BEGINING. Thanks for the #WOD @baconeda. That #yogahour 202 class at @toughloveyoga a great way to BEGIN AGAIN. OAN: Just because you don't see me (in the video), doesn't mean I'm not practicing.

The Bhagavad Gita says "Yoga is the journey of the self, through the Self, to the SELF." Ever so often I get the time in my day to go on an adventure, to explore and chart the landscape of my body. I call it "Body Mapping". Each time I learn something different about my body and myself. I find places and muscles that I read about in books and seen in videos, and discover a treasure💰.....a new awareness of not only the muscle and where exactly it's located but how it maybe either strong💪🏾 or weak👎🏾, and the impact it has on my alignment. Today in the journey to find more #hamstring length I discovered exactly where my #pectineus muscle is. It's a small muscle but has huge impact as to how it helps to integrate and draw the thigh bone toward my midline. I discovered that my left pectineus is over stretched and weak. I have to engage that one more than my right to strengthen it, and when I do......POW💥, it changes the game for my #forwardfolds. This exploration in my body has enlightened the exploration of my mind. I realized that although I have a weak left pectineus, I have STRONG mental stories (rackets) that I tell myself, that are so strong and so negative that they pull me OUT of alignment and cloud my judgement of myself. There is what happened, then the story I tell myself about what happened. What happened is in the past, but I keep carrying around MY STORY about it, and that has a huge impact on my mental alignment. I have to let go and clear those negative through meditation. My question then to you is "How well do you KNOW yourself?" How often do you spend time with yourself, exploring the deep and hidden parts of your body and mind? Take some time to shine a light 🔦💡🕯, you might be surprised at the treasures you may find! Big shout to my mentor @rockyheron for the lesson in embodying anatomy and for the GREAT PNF Hanumanasana drills. Might play with adding blanket drills to then. Can't wait to see what I learn from our next online session. #bowflex #blackboysdoyoga #blackboysteachyoga #yogawithrocky #uttanasana #buffandbendy #swoleandflexy #eatclean #traindirty #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #bhagavadgita #lululemon #lululemonmen (at CrossFit Atlanta)

When you get asked to play in a National #Volleyball 🏐 Championship Tournament in 1.5 months and training for a 1 mile race series at the same damn time.Trying to get a little more "pop and hop"🐇in my legs to get ready so did this little #plyometric burner thanks to @damn8088. Watching this video I realize that I can still get some more hip extension. My hips are very "muted" on both the extension of the clean and the box jump. 400 m Run Buy In 5 RFT: 6 #PowerCleans 135lbs 6 #BoxJumps 30 in. 400 m Run Cash Out #bowflex #blackboysdocrossfit #blackboyslift #blackboysjump #blackboysplayvolleyball #blackmenrun 🏃🏾#crossfit #crossfitatlanta #eatclean #traindirty #buffandbendy #swoleandflexy (at CrossFit Atlanta)

"Show up the way you ARE...but leave how you WANT TO BE!" In the past year of my practice I have been very focused on increasing my #hamstring flexibility, it's a huge limitation for me. The picture on the left is from 35 weeks ago and the one on the right just a few days past. So it truly is a #transformationtuesday post. But there is a difference between CHANGE and TRANSFORMATION. Change can happen without you doing anything. Time will take its toll, we will grow old and the change isn't always for the better. Transformation however takes daily, diligent, disciplined effort and practice. An ACCEPTANCE of who you are at the present moment, but a commitment to do the hard work to make yourself better. #uttanasana aka #forwardfold #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #stretching #flexibility #mobility #eatclean #traindirty #mobilitywod #suppleleopard #romwod #swoleandflexy #buffandbendy #practicemakesprogress

Put my red "Yezzey's" 👟 on, got back in the saddle 🐎 to see if I still know how to ride. It felt to good to get under the bar...need a little more hip extension and shrug, but I am happy with it. LIGHT WEIGHT💪🏾....no really, it was light weight, it just feels heavy to ME.
