Sometimes I think it’s easier to say what yoga is not more than I think it’s possible to truly explain what yoga really is. Yoga is not just a physical practice. Yoga is a mirror that guides you to the truth self. Yoga asana is not an exercise or a stretch. Fitness and stretching are the byproducts of the practice. Yoga is not entertainment, distraction or denial even though yoga can be fun and joyful. Yoga is a spiritual discipline that seeks your highest liberation. What is yoga to you? What isn’t yoga to you? In this age of everything goes, some people are afraid of setting some guidelines about what is and isn’t yoga. Giving everyone permission to do everything and call it whatever they want may not truly serve their spiritual path. Sometimes what we need is a clear light to shine on the path so we can discriminate between what is true and what is untrue. But then again, I am an Ashtanga Yoga practitioner and I can’t help it if I believe at least a few guidelines are good for the practitioners and teachers to follow. Keep practicing 🙏 Next workshops: Mysore week and Adjustment clinic in February @miamilifecenter and then Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and Cincinnati.

“This is a day and time of receptivity, grace, enlightenment, and ultimate liberation. May you be inspired for the highest.” ~ @sadhguru 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏻 . . Day 5 of the #Gratitude4Friendship #yogachallenge is any Kapotasana or #pigeonpose. 😊 Sadhguru’s quote arrived in my inbox yesterday morning following a moment of pure bliss. 💫 Bliss as in, no happiness from outside world, but a feeling of love within. It was temporary, just like everything is, which I love because it makes me cherish those moments even more. 😌 It also inspired me to reach deeper in Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana. 😁🕉🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🌱🗽 . @zenagoy My mat @onzie My bra . 💜Hosts: @valquiriafo @skinnydoberman . 💜Sponsors: @umtokdarte @inspirarcamisetas @ffcentrodetreinamento @sashka_co @c2v.accessories @insideoutsideoutsidein @vayumudra my #leggings 😍 Poses: . 1.

I ❤️ NYC. This city is so special. Did you know I lived here for two years and that NYC is where I took my first ever Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga class? Whenever I come back it’s always so amazing to feel the energy everywhere. I’ll be back next year in May to teach and you should come practice 😊 Bodysuit @lululemon #lululemon #lululemonambassador #thesweatlife Photo @ifilmyoga #yoga #compass #yogi #kinoyoga #nyc #yoganyc #nycyoga #newyorkcity #compasspose 💕 (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClBgH9Pu24M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Channeling powerful heroins with braids in their hair 💕 And just like that I’m on the way back home. It’s a wrap for this trip to NYC. More fun things to come. So many people have asked where they could practice with me, but this wasn’t a teaching trip. I’ll be back in the fall for classes. Next workshops: Mysore week and Adjustment Clinic @miamilifecenter next week. Then Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and Cincinnati.
