#mindmakeover

I no longer force things. What flows, flows. What crashes, crashes. I only have space and energy for things that are meant for me. #IamOneMind#nextlevel#mindmakeover

"We are what we eat"- that phrase applies to more than just our physical bodies. No matter how you slice it, your mind is always consuming something. Make a conscious effort to make it consume what you want before it consumes you. Just a little bit of weekend motivation 😏 #thefouragreements #selfimprovement #mindmakeover

I'm back from a jam-packed week of happily learning about Chinese Medicine and Myofascial Release with @yoga_medicine and I can't wait to start applying all that I've learned! Come see me this week? I've missed you!! And check out my upcoming Myofascial Release workshop in October! All happenings @raffayoga ✨💖☯️🔥🌿💦💎🌎 . . . . . . #chinesemedicine #ymcatskills #ym500 #yogamedicine #vulnerabilityisstrength #yogaeverydamnday #goldengemini #goldengeminiyoga #sparkleitup #dontmissout #yogainspiration #mindmakeover #natureismedicine (at Raffa Yoga & Urban Sweat)

"What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?" | from 'Hope for Now' by City and Colour. 💎 In Chinese Medicine, the element of metal is associated with characteristics of precision, strength, shining, inspiration, structure, taking in and letting go, sitting with and processing grief, and knowing one's value or worth. Do you feel valued? Have you added value to another person's life or to the world? I believe that we all have unique gifts. Gifts individual to each of us that only we, as individuals, can share with the world. I'm still learning what my own gifts are and how to find my own voice and path to use them for good and to make positive change in people's lives. But think about, we may never know the impact we have on others. But I do believe in the possibility that singing one song, teaching one yoga class, smiling at one person, saying hello, being kind, or just being present for a friend has the potential to make a profound difference in someone's life. If we strive to add value - true value - to another person's life or to the world, can we fail? I'm willing to take that risk. ✨💎✨ 📷: @sophietashkovski 👗: @kiragraceyoga . . . . #ymcatskills #goldengeminiyoga #goldengemini #yogamedicine #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #practiceandalliscoming #practiceyogachangeyourworld #mindmakeover #sparkleitup #dontmissout #metalelement #ym500 #cityandcolour @cityandcolour_official (at Menla Mountain Retreat)

How do you nourish yourself? What do you need to feel that you have enough and that you are enough? Today in our @yoga_medicine training on Chinese Medicine, we learned about the Earth element. A main characteristic of this element is nourishment, feeling grounded and being supported. Do you know how to nourish yourself? Nourishing ourselves is not about what we think we're supposed to do. It's about figuring out what we need individually to heal ourselves. I'm still figuring this out but I am pleased to be able to say that after years of trial and error, I am beginning to have a much better idea of what I personally need. And it's not always about doing more - which I've continuously done for years. For me, it's about doing less, finding joy in what I choose to do both personally and professionally, tending to true connections with friends, new and old, and being present. Meditation has been a key player is my journey and trust me I am still at the beginning of this path, but I walk this path most days feeling (maybe for the whole day or maybe just for mere moments) supported, grounded, and most importantly nourished. I am just so incredibly grateful to be here. 🌿💚☯️ . . . . . 📷: @sophietashkovski #ym500 #yogamagic #yogainspiration #goldengeminiyoga #goldengemini #sparkleitup #dontmissout #yogamedicine #yogamedicinefamily #yogamedicineteacher #mindmakeover #communityconnection #connection #earthelement (at Menla Mountain Retreat)

My path to early morning @yoga_medicine practice. Calm, still, quiet, introspective and simply beautiful. 💚 . . . . . . #ym500 #raisethebar #yogaeverydamnday #yogainspiration #yogamedicine #goldengemini #goldengeminiyoga #sparkleitup #dontmissout #mindmakeover #connection #communityconnection (at Menla Mountain Retreat)

A still moment captured. Morning sun shining. Heart open. ☀️💖☀️ Historically, I have not been great about building a 'home' practice. I just preferred going to a studio. But I started a daily 'home' practice while traveling in Australia since it was challenging at times to find a convenient studio or class. This daily morning ritual has made such a huge difference for me. I feel so good in my body that I have maintained this daily practice since getting back to the States. It requires getting up extra early but I find it so incredibly worth it. The house is quiet, the sun is rising, I start the day feeling strong, steady, and focused. Free from mental distractions....even for just a few moments. A few heartbeats. A few breaths. This. This is a daily deposit in my "Wellth" account.

"And when the challenges come, I hope you remember that anchored deep within you is the ability to learn and grow. You are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. Like a muscle, you can build it up, draw on it when you need it. In that process you will figure out who you really are — and you just might become the very best version of yourself." -Sheryl Sandberg 💜 . . #goldengemini #sparkleitup #letitshine #yogamedicine #yoga #mindmakeover 📷: @kadrikurgun
