🌊 Good morning, lovers! . . I am super excited to about partnering with my friends over at The National Museum of Women in the Arts (@womeninthearts ) for next months first “Untame the Goddess: A Journey to the Sacred Feminine.” . . Sunday, March 8th 11am - 12pm we come together in honor of international Women’s Day to harness the divine feminine nature that exists within us all. We connect deeply to self and one another to show our gratitude for the ever present power of motherhood, sisterhood and womanhood. By acknowledging and unleashing the goddess energy within ourselves we acknowledge our capacity to liberate, transform and create and set the tone to birth our fullest potential using Asana, Pranayama, #Kundalini and Adi Shakti Meditation. . . Guides: Sihnuu Hetep & Nandi Gabremedhin (@busu_ma_yoga77 ). . . This event is FREE to you with registration. #SeeLinkInBio to save your spot. All We look forward to the awakening with you all! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #yoga #yogasihnuu #nmwa #smithsonian #yogadc #dcyoga #internationalwomensday #femininedivine (at National Museum of Women in the Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8glMoKF4O6/?igshid=1xkeqjk3raih

✨ We often fool ourselves that we are concentrating because we fix our attention on wavering objects. B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life . . It’s such a challenge to find stability in our outer world. Just when you think things are coming to a stand still, the veil of illusion is lifted and something else comes along to shake things up a bit. It feels like we are back at square one trying to find solid ground. This is a common theme because no matter how stable things look on the outside, life is a constant shift. Things are always changing and evolving, so nothing will ever be still enough to allow us to catch up. . . The stability that is constant and real is internal. Our capacity to stand firm and resolute as life throws challenges our way is the stability that is most fortifying. We can decide how to respond, when to let go and when to ride the wave of understanding and spiritual expansion. We all have the option to focus in, root down and rise up.

✨ Eka Pada Raja Hanumanasana...say that 5 times fast. Speaking of fast..How are you challenging yourself this week? I'll start. 🤗 . . This morning I went to my 9:30am class in a rush and realized after class that I didn't have my car keys on me until it was time for me to head to my next class in another part of the city. After walking for about 20 minutes looking for a gas station or police officer that could help me, I contacted AAA. They let me know that it would take about 60 minutes (that's anxious people language for a full hour) to get someone out to help me. My mind started to race again. If I didn't do something I would likely miss my class. I needed to move. I assured Adrianne that I would be a few minutes late for class, at most. I was determined to fix this situation as quickly as possible even with a phone battery of 9%. I thought about Ubering, I thought about missing AAA and I thought about my now 7% battery and I remained still. As challenging as it was for me to do nothing but wait, I did just that. And now here I am, writing this post from the inside of my car, charging my phone while my keys were inside of my bag. I missed class, but I take a moment to just be and understand the importance of slowing down and pacing myself even when there are things to do. This is the yoga that counts the most, the kind you can apply to your everyday life. How are you practicing off of the mat today? Happy Monday, Yogis!! . . ❤️ Sihnuu . .

✨ Every move we make on this path is fueled by faith. I didn't step into yoga as a line of work with a solid plan or business knowledge 🤦🏾‍♀️. Although at times I wish I did, I think falling and getting back up a few (read several) times has allowed the fire within me to burn even stronger. I've been rejected, shut down, doubted and felt shame. I've sat alone and thought about giving up. I've silenced those defeating voices in my head. I've stepped into that space where I'm ready to learn and open to expand. I'm learning lessons and growing more business minded every day even as I've fought against it in the past. At times I grow impatient with my progress but I still have a ways to go and I'm going at the pace that suits me best. I'm turning my passion into a full blown lifestyle and it feels pretty legit here. I'm grateful to to be surrounded by and have the support of other souls on fire. . .
