#tbt to the time @sao_mai and I closed out 2018 with a candlelight flow at @theyogashaladc. It was fitting to end the year at a new spot since I visited over 17 (!!!) new studios throughout the year, in DC and across the country. Im so grateful that I have the opportunity to travel and fit in my practice. Here’s to even more new studios in 2019!! 🤸🏼‍♂️✨🧘🏼‍♀️#getonyourmat #yogaacrossamerica #vinyasatravels #theyogashala (at The Yoga Shala) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsernkihO-3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8h46c3kyk8gu

Ever wonder what a #mysore class looks like in high speed :) Here is a tiny clip from a morning mysore class at #theyogashala #collegepark one morning. As you can see the teacher moves about the room helping students in various capacities. As a new student or beginner, the teacher would literally be by your side helping to introduce the foundational postures and concepts to you and stay close by to work with you as you take direction and practice on your own what's being taught. Over time that new student becomes a more seasoned practitioner and can do much of this on their own, with the guidance of the teacher to monitor their progress, practice and focus and to provide physical assistance in the form of adjustments in #postures that they need help with. Many people are intimidated by the mysore method because they do not understand it. As a new student to #ashtanga #yoga and specifically the mysore method of teaching, you DO NOT need to have any clue what you are doing to join us; we almost prefer you don't so we don't have to unteach you any bad habits. If you've been contemplating checking out what this stuff we do here at @theyogashala is all about, #doit! We have a killer two week intro special for $40 for two weeks of unlimited classes for you to come experience this mysore style of instruction, our shala, our programs and our teachers. You'll find there was nothing to be intimidated about. I'm here with the Kaidster, who is 6 now ;) and I'll be teaching this morning from 6:30am-8:30am; Shelby will be here 8:30-10:30am and Miss Heather will finish the day 5-7pm. Have a stellar day ahead! #yogaeverydamnday #doyogaeverday #doyoga #itsalocalthing #loveorlando #acollegeparkthing #gratitude #teach #yogaclasses #yogaforbeginners #advancedyoga #centralflorida #doer #happiness #inspire #letsdothis #nofear #orlando (at The Yoga Shala - Ashtanga Yoga Studio)

सुप्तकूर्मासन Supta-Kūrmāsana Sleeping Turtle Try to be like the turtle - at ease in your own shell. Bill Copeland Good morning #orlando. Its another day and I'm grateful to be here at #theyogashala #collegepark to sit in silence, move with my breath and then help others do the same. I'm here teaching #mysore 6:30-8:30am this morning and hope to see you for practice. Please remember to message me via Facebook, email, or instagram if you would like to join us for early morning practice so I can give you the code to enter. I'll be here teaching #ledprimary tomorrow morning and will resume teaching the early mornings next Tuesday. Dash will be subbing for me on Monday. Today's #TBT photo is from 2004 at the old Winter Park Yoga. It's hard to believe so many years have gone by since I started my practice on those floors. Full of #gratitude today as I prepare to take practice for the zillionth time. Have a wonderful day ahead. #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #centralflorida #loveorlando #doer #dreamer #practiceyogaeveryday #doyoga #fitgirl #followyourdreams #happiness #inspire #letsdothis #memories #nevergiveup (at The Yoga Shala - Ashtanga Yoga Studio)

करान्दावासन Karāndāvāsana “Through my love for you, I want to express my love for the whole cosmos, the whole of humanity, and all beings. By living with you, I want to learn to love everyone and all species. If I succeed in loving you, I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth... This is the real message of love.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh, Teachings on Love Yesterday morning while I was practicing Kaiden woke up and wanted to come do yoga and meditation next to me. His interest in and excitement for yoga is something I want to let happen naturally in the hope that he will have a practice of his own when he grows up. I know I will treasure these memories for the rest of my life. Today I want to dedicate my practice to @vixquintero Not only was she sweet enough to take these keepsakes I'm able to share with you this morning, but she also patiently spends time with Kaiden teaching him yoga when he is interested in learning; and she is always willing to take my son to school for me each and every single day I have him. Victoria, I hope you realize the incredible impact you are having on Kaiden, I hope you realize how much he absolutely adores you, and I hope you know how appreciated you are by he and I! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your presence in our lives. Kaiden and I are here at #theyogashala #collegepark and we look forward to welcoming you for practice. #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #gratitude #centralflorida #doer #dreamer #fitgirl #followyourdreams #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #orlando #thecitybeautiful #loveorlando #happiness #family #inspire #kaidensthebest #kidsareamazing #friends #letsdothis #nevergiveup #mysore #memories #practiceyogaeveryday (at The Yoga Shala - Ashtanga Yoga Studio)

टिट्टिभासन Ṭiṭṭibhāsana “You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting – over and over announcing your place in the family of things.” ― Mary Oliver Good morning world and happy Monday from #theyogashala #collegepark. I thoroughly enjoyed a delightful weekend with Taylor Hunt sharing his knowledge and passion with all of us at @theygoashala. Kaiden is here with me sleeping soundly in the kids room as I prepare to sit down to contemplate mediation :) and take practice. We both hope to see you this morning for class and we wish you a profoundly fulfilling day ahead. www.theyogashala.org #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogaclass #bird #centralflorida #doer #dreamer #fitgirl #followyourdreams #gratitude #healthyliving #inspire #letsdothis #mysore #nofear #nevergiveup #orlando #practiceyogaeveryday (at The Yoga Shala - Ashtanga Yoga Studio)
