#chicayoga

Love, gratitude, looking at the bright side of life. There's always something to learn, to be grateful for. A smile or a good deed can make someone's day, including your own. What we are looking for is within 🌟 Acceptance, union, embracing who we are and letting go of resistance. We need darkness in order to have light. All, all that we are is who we are. The more we resist it, the larger it grows. Yoga=union Have a great weekend my loves 💖 #chicayoga #livinglavidayoga #ashtanga #yogavideo #yoga

Learning to breathe & flow with the waves & fluctuations of life. It's all good. The answers are already within you. Just sometimes they hide really well... This is what I say to myself, sealing it with: "what a wonderful world" 🌟🌍🌻 Transitioning from standing split to handstand, and falling back, and coming up.. Over and over 😁 practice and it all comes ✌️ #chicayoga #livinglavidayoga #handstanding (at Om Beats Studio)

Closing my practice this morning with #sirsasana also known as #headstand and regardless of how it looks I'd like to share something about it. This posture happens by the end of practice, which I'm glad not to share because it would be embarrassing. Why? Well, we are all humans and the goal of yoga is union of mind, body & spirit. If we were perfect and aligned we wouldn't need to practice, right? In my case, sometimes practice gets tough. Particularly now that I'm doing my best to commit to a 6 days practice no matter what's going on in my life. My body feels lazy and heavy, my mind is overloaded with thoughts and my spirit filled with emotions and feelings that are being healed. You put that together into a small portion of space (the yoga mat) and it can be overwhelming, particularly at the beginning of practice... Sometimes I connect so well body with breath and pay attention to my bandhas & drishti.. But some others I focus on doing my best and allow the energy to flow so it keeps me going. I offer my practice to the higher power, to the universal energy to keep me moving. And then, time passed & I am closing my practice. There is when I realize that what matters the most is doing it regardless of how it looks or feels like. Everyday doing the best I can. I choose to stop how I could be judged, as the only one judging me is my own self. It's about commitment and patience. Instead of evaluating what I did wrong or how unfocused I was, I choose to let go of the negative judgments and instead feel content with the fact that I practiced! Same with life. We all have relationships that need healing, we might have life events or things that happen that can put us down.. But in the mind it is all about where you place your attention. If you focus on the bad part of your day or cling into a tough relationship with someone/something instead of being grateful for something good that happened and the relationships that are healthy, then you'll always be under a cloud even if the day is sunny and beautiful. So just fill yourself with love. Love 💖 love 💖 love All you need is love Om ॐ 🙏 #chicayoga #livinglavidayoga

This was such a nice way to seal a beautiful weekend. Yoga on the sand, getting my hair wet, doing a little shimmy and laughing.. And after that a delicious dip into the ocean to swim and flow. Among the lessons of the weekend, I learned that letting go is love for yourself and others. Stop controlling and allow life to happen through you. There's so much beauty everywhere if we pay attention and focus on that good side. Now getting ready for what I manifest will be a productive week, sealing cycles, closing doors and moving forward towards my next stage. Everything flows 🌀🌈 Have a great week!! I love you 💓 #chicayoga #livinglavidayoga #beachyoga

"Take risks. Ask the dumb questions. Fail if you have to, and then get up and do it again" Jacqueline Novogratz. You see me, then you don't.. One foot here, another foot there and then they go away. Sharing what comes from the heart is the most important. Live up to that and give up caring what others will think or say. Each one of us has SO much to give, so much beauty. Why adapt it to fit others' needs? We ain't no clothes! Lol 😆 We are warriors of the light! ⭐️ Let's shine!!!!! 🔥🌟💫✨ Happy Friday night!

It's a matter of choices. If you choose to be your life and be happy regardless of others' opinions or approvals, you will. Recognize fear and insecurities as part of you, face them, understand them and work with them until you're able to let them go and set yourself free. Send love to those who don't get you or who want you to be a different way than who you are, but stop giving them the power to affect how you feel. After my home practice, diffusing some frankincense oil and disconnecting from the mind as much as possible, I decided to share some of my progress: dropbacks. Last month I was barely able to do them and, after practice it all starts to come. So, just practice and be in peace ✌️ And, don't forget to jam it 💛💚❤️ I love you Om ॐ shanti 🙏 🎵jamming - Bob Marley🎵 #chicayoga #livinglavidayoga

Now is the time to accept & love yourself. Each one of us is perfect as we are. We have gifts and flaws, light & dark but we are pretty awesome individual souls. Choose to stop imitating and comparing with others. Start finding your own truth by yourself. Connect within and realize that there's a place inside of you where your essence and the truth lies, and in that place everybody becomes one. Here's a sample of basic yoga sequence, Sun salutation A (surya namaskar A) while the sun came down. Allow the beauty of this practice to help you connect through your breath with that mystical place within. It doesn't have to be perfect, just to be felt. I love you & good night 💖 Om shanti ॐ #chicayoga #livinglavidayoga 🎵Midnight City - M83 🎵
