Yogi play time! I love getting upside down. A change in perspective can offer space to make more informed decisions. You don’t have to stand on your head for this insight— You can take a walk; lie on your back and focus on breathing; or just round forward and reach for your feet. Any type of physical action leads to a calmer reaction.

Fall back into great habits. #SundayStretchDay is back! Between grad school and grief—I could share an endless list of reasons why I let myself stray from the things that I know help me feel better. #Yoga #Meditation #Journaling all help me stay present, calm, grounded, and hopeful. I'm also TRYING to strike a #Balance between personal time and #socialmedia; quality vs. quantity; and plenty of inspiration! https://www.instagram.com/p/CjOF5mzpL-T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This weekend I took some time to get outside and explore Chambersburg! A huge aspect of the @wilsoncollegemfa experience is centered around collaboration and community, while creating—I was happy to immerse myself in the process of exploring farmers market's, thrift stores, and local businesses and restaurants! Thank you to @zbetty6 for driving & @kyleighpaulaxo for capturing this photo! How will you spend your #SundayStretchDay? https://www.instagram.com/p/CfjTg4LO2Yg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sunday mornings are lazy, sometimes I don't even get out of bed. And with legs-up-the-wall pose, you don't have to either! This stretch helps reduce anxiety, while reliving stress, stimulating circulation, and reduces swelling and tension in the feet, legs, and hips. Viparita Karani is an inversion, so just like those advanced #Yoga practitioners—who hold head and handstands—this pose has the same benefits! BUT you don't even have to get out of bed to practice. Now that's a fun #SundayStretchDay opportunity! I use this pose after travel, too—perfect for jet lag. Oh, and the best part? Holding this pose for 10 minutes, feels like a 3 hour nap! Revitalized and full of energy. I practice to maintain balance: #mind, #body, #soul! How do you tap into your full potential?

In between helping my dad @tony.shaffer57 w/ an epic estate sale and visiting with family, I found time to get a leg up. How will you spend your Sunday? Hopefully, you'll have an opportunity to get outdoors and stretch! I find #yoga helps with my mind, body, and soul—balance. #SundayStretchDay 📷 @abi.lafleur https://www.instagram.com/p/CdlNq7IO-xm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yoga by a lake? Absolutely! It's easy to fall into old patterns; make a habit out of trying new things. #Yoga gives me peace of mind & balance between body, soul, and creative energy. #SundayStretchDay (at St. Augustine Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcK_z6dOGFr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Eagle has landed. I breathe. I release. I move forward. #Yoga helps me find balance mentally, emotionally, physically, artistically, and spiritually. How do you cultivate peace? #SundayStretchDay (at The Westin Westminster) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbnFPLjutFl/?utm_medium=tumblr

I started the day off on the wrong side of the bed, feeling sad, overwhelmed, and angry— Then I splashed some water on my face, threw on some clothes and went for a walk with Lily and @amsannazzaro. Blue sky, sunshine, and fresh air—it's impossible be upset once you return to the present! I'm grateful for family, friends, and #yoga! The balance I crave emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, and creatively evolves on my "mat". How do you practice presence? #SundayStretchDay for your whole-body wellbeing! #PhotoCredit @amsannazzaro https://www.instagram.com/p/CbVSLxgpRgB/?utm_medium=tumblr
