"The true alchemist doesn't change lead in to gold ; they change the world in to words!" -William H Gass ___________________________________ Trying to write the world of #ayurveda into simple words that hopefully befall upon open minds and compassionate hearts 💗 at @raghunathyogi 300 hr Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with @supersoulyogachatham out at the @govardhanecovilliage (there is still time to sign up and join us!!!!__________________________________Ayurvedic Medicine is such an amazing, simple and majestic topic, and I love teaching it! But it's one of the hardest things to teach for me... ___________________________________ So many intricately designed layers of the self and so many perspectives and points of view on body and mind.... and how it, we, you and me, we all fit in to this amazing material word which is all fueled and made alive and well by spiritual energy, force, intelligence .... ahhhhh..... It's so brilliant and so vast, yet so simple when you step back and take it in... ___________________________________ And I am blessed and grateful to be given the task to write words that put this world of "LifeKnowlwdge" in to poignant perspective.... ___________________________________ It's thrilling and horrifying all at the same time.... to experience the gift of sharing ancient knowledge and seeing the light bulbs inside go -->ON<-- , but hoping and praying to the gods that I don't f*ck it up with my simple little human mind and incorrectly or under-delivering the depth and power of this knowledge!!!! __________________________________ #dharma #dharmashakti #dharmayoga #ayurveda101 #lbc #longbeachyoga #yogalbc #writing #teacher #yogateacher #readers #readersareleaders #learnersareearners #wellness #holistic #holistichealth (at Rose Park Roasters)

Happy Sunday!!!! __________________________ It's always a circus in my house!!!! Especially with these crazies! __________________________ Trying to whip these boys in to shape here.... looks like they still need a lot of work, look at how many times they stick there tongue out at the camera... 😳 LOL 😂 love my crazy boys! One day they will grow up to be exemplary yogis (I hope) 😆 #yogafamily #familylife #familylifejuggle #welcometotheprocess #momlife #momyoga #yogalbca #dharma #dharmashakti #dharmashaktiyoga #longbeach #longbeachyoga #lbc #citylife #familycircus (at Downtown Long Beach)

I think I like this place because of the constant reminder of "welcome to the process" LOL!! ___________________________________ Nah...it's actually the matcha with #homemade coconut milk!! ___________________________________ Honestly, it's all the above AND the awesome crew and owners they have.... it feels like community there, and I see a lot of folks from the community getting their fix at @roseparkroasters !!! __________________________________ But seriously this was me all week, trying to get back in the process of city life, and most of all, my life here in the city.... ___________________________________ Being gone for 3 weeks on the other side of the world, and holding space for all the travelers from around the globe, took a toll on me (I am not complaining, I am EXTREMELY grateful for the gift) __________________________________ This trip taught me to really really slow down and how important it is to listen to AND tend to my body and what it needs... ___________________________________ My apologies for not being present to teach yoga at all this last week or weekend, learning to honor my needs as well as considering the needs of others has been a lifelong struggle. I have finally learned how to put myself first when it really counts, when it really matters ___________________________________ As a recovering people pleaser, this is a triumphant moment for me.... self care is one of the biggest signs of how much you truly love and care about yourself. Because, you see.... To care about something and to care for something are two very different things!!! ___________________________________ And I feel like I am finally beginning to CARE FOR myself... Hence, the week off after my return from Nepal and India. ****************************** I'll be back at teaching this week: Tuesday at 545 chanting and 6pm for Shakti Vinyasa Yoga __________________________________ Please take care of yourself, the world needs you to be in a GOOD place right now, you know what I mean? 💗 #wellbeing #wellness #selflove #selfcare #matcha #tea #longbeach #longbeachcoffee #dharma #dharmashakti #matchaeverydamnday #welcometotheprocess #yogalbca #lbc (at Rose Park Roasters)

Yoga on the bluff, or as they like to say at Takure Camp, "the other bluff" it's a 3 hour hike up to Gupha Dada, where you can get a great view of the Himalayan peaks. The picture doesn't do it justice to those mountains peaks... __________________________________ Feeling truly blessed to share this trip with some amazing souls, but this lady right here, my sister, I love you so much @ms.bee___ and I am so eternally grateful you made it on this epic journey. It was truly magical! Love you 😘 ___________________________________ #consciousimpact #cometonepal #dharmashakti #dharma #shakti #himalayas #yogainthehimalayas #himalayanmountains #blessedlife #landofmystics (at Takure, Sindhupalchok)
