#welcometotheprocess

Happy Sunday!!!! __________________________ It's always a circus in my house!!!! Especially with these crazies! __________________________ Trying to whip these boys in to shape here.... looks like they still need a lot of work, look at how many times they stick there tongue out at the camera... 😳 LOL 😂 love my crazy boys! One day they will grow up to be exemplary yogis (I hope) 😆 #yogafamily #familylife #familylifejuggle #welcometotheprocess #momlife #momyoga #yogalbca #dharma #dharmashakti #dharmashaktiyoga #longbeach #longbeachyoga #lbc #citylife #familycircus (at Downtown Long Beach)

I think I like this place because of the constant reminder of "welcome to the process" LOL!! ___________________________________ Nah...it's actually the matcha with #homemade coconut milk!! ___________________________________ Honestly, it's all the above AND the awesome crew and owners they have.... it feels like community there, and I see a lot of folks from the community getting their fix at @roseparkroasters !!! __________________________________ But seriously this was me all week, trying to get back in the process of city life, and most of all, my life here in the city.... ___________________________________ Being gone for 3 weeks on the other side of the world, and holding space for all the travelers from around the globe, took a toll on me (I am not complaining, I am EXTREMELY grateful for the gift) __________________________________ This trip taught me to really really slow down and how important it is to listen to AND tend to my body and what it needs... ___________________________________ My apologies for not being present to teach yoga at all this last week or weekend, learning to honor my needs as well as considering the needs of others has been a lifelong struggle. I have finally learned how to put myself first when it really counts, when it really matters ___________________________________ As a recovering people pleaser, this is a triumphant moment for me.... self care is one of the biggest signs of how much you truly love and care about yourself. Because, you see.... To care about something and to care for something are two very different things!!! ___________________________________ And I feel like I am finally beginning to CARE FOR myself... Hence, the week off after my return from Nepal and India. ****************************** I'll be back at teaching this week: Tuesday at 545 chanting and 6pm for Shakti Vinyasa Yoga __________________________________ Please take care of yourself, the world needs you to be in a GOOD place right now, you know what I mean? 💗 #wellbeing #wellness #selflove #selfcare #matcha #tea #longbeach #longbeachcoffee #dharma #dharmashakti #matchaeverydamnday #welcometotheprocess #yogalbca #lbc (at Rose Park Roasters)

Day 18 of #powerupchallenge although I am feeling like I have very little power right now LOL. Check out the amazingly strong and graceful hosts @dylanwerneryoga and @ashleygalvinyoga as thy make this look like no big deal to do at all. ------------------------------------------ My feet should lift and float right above the ground as I bring them forward through my hands. I fee like my feet are gonna float up at any moment, but.... They just don't. So all I can do is work with what I got today and I had to add a little hop to get my feet forward. 😝 """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Showing up on my mat everyday to give these cool yet very challenging practices a try is the easy part, posting my practice publicly and being okay with where I am at in my life and my practice is the hard part.... But to me, that's the real inner work. So, here it is... •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• @codyapp @aloyoga #dharma #dharmashakti #yogini #innerrevolution #workinprogress #welcometotheprocess #yoga #dharmayoga #lbcayoga #yogalbc #longbeach #longbeachyoga #longbeachyogarevolution #yogarevolution #shaktiyoga #shakti #doingmybest (at Downtown Long Beach)

Post teacher meeting at the studio, all giggles and Kirtan practice in the background. Sharing Day 12 of #powerupchallenge with @dylanwerneryoga and @ashleygalvinyoga with some of our most recent Teacher Trainer Graduates and now teachers. Today's #challenge was Handstand Pike... And we are obviously all working on it! #workinprogress #welcometotheprocess I was giggling so much and the grunting and groaning... But I only giggle cause I know the process, and I love the willingness and effort to show up and give it a go, give it a try, no matter how our bodies perform... All that matters is that we show up and we make an effort! Well done ladies @shannybalammy @boatyoga @haleyshappyplace . So blessed to have you all round, you bring so much amazing laughter and goodness in my life ✨💗✨😜✨🙏🏼✨.
