// we are all wired for heartbreak, for failure, for screwing up. we are also wired for strength, overcoming, true happiness and universe-shaking great love. do not skip the f$&@ing struggle. for it is the-in-between stage, the dark room in our human process, where we develop the tools to cherish our light. we learn wisdom through experience, compassion through loss, acceptance through shame, happiness through sadness. we are an abundance of stardust + our work is to remember we are on a forever self discovery. we are here to learn the journey of love. // by: danielle doby of @iamhertribe // all together on this journey... COME together at @unityyoganyc tonight at 5:45pm and 7pm. there is no end, the journey is the purpose. #poetry #unity #unityyoga #hiphopyoga #harlem #yogisofinstagram #yogateacher #mytribe #yogafamily #journey (at Unity Yoga)

This week in all of my classes, I've been talking about purpose. I returned home this past week and I always go practice at the yoga studio where I first stepped onto the mat in 2010. I stumbled into this thing we call yoga because I had hit rock bottom. completely and utterly alone and empty. and that first class, that first journey changed my path forever. I have not left since. I will be honest, since then I've seen rock bottom (or very close) on my mat one or two times over... but it's always been there and has never left me alone or without hope. some days, I'm flying and other days I want savasana in the first five minutes. I've spent months in deep dark valleys and still the practice has held me... I've climbed slowly up to the top of some battles where I can look out across the horizon and see many more peaks and trenches and I know... I can always come back here. so what is your purpose for your practice? why did you first show up to the mat? what keeps drawing you back again and again? today, it may have been because you vibe with Miguel. maybe it's because you wanted to loosen your hamstrings. maybe it's because you want to tone or tighten or yada-whatever. maybe it's because you were bored. whatever brought you, too bad... you cannot leave without being changed. the poses are just building blocks... steps to build upon to show you so much more. to show you that if you keep showing up, you will nail a side crow... and you can also nail your negative thoughts. if you keep showing up, you may eventually be able to stand on your chin... or you will learn that you are perfectly, divinely imperfect. if you keep showing up, your body will respond in strength... and you can also face the demons you battle. show up. be changed. embrace purpose. wherever you are, you are never alone. // @unityyoganyc and @y7studio students, you inspire me to tears. I bow to every single one of you who showed up with purpose this week. #floweveryday #inspiration #purpose #havepurpose #faith #rockbottom #hope #yogisofinstagram #atribecalledsweat #unity #unityyoga #yogateacher #reflections #northcarolina #yogafamily // reflections: what is your purpose?

"…I realized that I wasn't standing at the magic tree anymore. I was standing at the place they call "bittersweet". That place that, if you could find it on a map, would be the mountain that sits between happy and sad. And I thought bout how when you stand on that mountain, you can almost feel God's hand on your head and you just know, deep down inside, that even if you don't understand everything that happened to cause those mixed feelings, you still know there was a good reason for them happening. …then I smiled and reminded [Aunt Verdella] of what she and Winnalee had both once told me. That you have to go on believing anything's possible, or else, what's the point?" // from "The Book of Bright Ideas" by Sandra Kring // that place of bittersweet, of uncertainty, of not really perfecting but not exactly failing... that place of love-so-deep it causes you to hate, that place where "home" seems so foreign, that place that we all know very well but sometimes fear... that place is where you are held, supported, Divinely appointed. come to that place, be in that place. // SO HAPPY to be home with you on the mat NYC! meet me TONIGHT @unityyoganyc : 5:45pm & 7pm or TOMORROW @y7studio for #hiphopwednesday : 12pm / 4:30pm / 5:45pm 🙏🏼 #yogaeverydamnday #yogisofinstagram #scorpion #pinchamayurasana #forearmstand #home #unity #unityyoga #y7yoga #ATribeCalledSweat #weflowhard #hiphop #hiphopflow #hiphopyoga #newyorkcity (at New York, New York)
