The most important thing to remember about yoga is that the practice itself is proof that we can do it. It has been done for thousands of generations before us. And, as we continue on our own journeys, we will continue to inspire others to step on the mat and take up the practice after us. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #yogaeverywhere #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #sthirabhaga #vasisthasana #armbalance #sideplank #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #yogamanila #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #advanceda (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_11lPPxc5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#CaroloftheBells "Impromptu Christmas Guarding" Now this is really a brave move for me. Hahaha I performed on the streets, with no practiced choreography, wearing a casual attire, the risk of being hit by vehicles, and weilding the flag against a strong holiday wind. 😂😂😂 Great shoutouts to @spintronixguard !!! It's because of you guys that I discovered my hidden passion in color guarding. I will be forever grateful 💪😘 Love and Light, -Geco- #yogaasanas #yoganature #mindfulness #calligraphy #mantra #GodisLove #yogainspiration #yogaeveryday #yogalight #YogaLove #igyogafam #meditation #myyogajourney #yogaphilippines #instayogi #fitness #nutrition #stopanddropyoga #gymnastics #yoga #colorguard #whenboredomstrikes #yogaplay #instayoga #internalyoga #wingchun #yogaformen #realmendoyoga #allyoucanyoga

This morning, my student Ingrid said, "Thank you for giving me a good start of the day with your class." And right away i thought to myself, "THIS. This is why i teach." The practice has impacted my life so positively that it just has to be shared. If one person's day is eased or improved because i have contributed to their practice, then all the waking up early, the work, the soreness and the sweat will be all worth it. Spread what you love and share your blessings. :)) (photo from yesterday's open house at @yogaphilppines ) #becauseyoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogaphilippines (at Yoga Philippines)

I read a sad piece article a few weeks ago about how hard it is to make real friends as an adult, but that actually runs counter to my experience, largely thanks to yoga. I’ve made many permanent friends in almost a decade that I have been practicing, my yearly trips to Mysore, classes that I conduct, and just hanging out at the studio. These aren’t “situational friends,” either, but people with whom I can have deep discussions, if the need for such a thing actually ever manifests. Adulthood places limitations on your social life, but yoga can remove them. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #mensyoga #boysofyoga #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #intermediateseries #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #suptavajrasana #backbends #grammerph #pinoygram #fit #fitspo #strong #madaboutyoga #igyoga #instayoga #yogaeverywhere (at Siargao Island Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch11FqHJ7_8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are all in our own processes of transition, release and surrender, yet in the midst of such intensity there is a reflection of hope amidst a sea of doubt and disbelief. We will see in the world what we have cultivated within ourselves. Yoga teaches us to have faith in our own ability to change and grow, to know and evolve our own values and literally to become the change we want to see in the world. Accordingly what change we can believe in is a direct reflection of our own strength and grace. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #mensyoga #boysofyoga #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #intermediateseries #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #yoganidrasana #change #grammerph #pinoygram #fit #fitspo #legbehindthehead #madaboutyoga #igyoga #instayoga #yogaeverywhere (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgPPuWWv4CF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are all living in uncertain times where the only thing certain is change. Most situations affect our routine functioning and demand us to adapt ourselves to that change. How willing are we to embrace big or small changes and adapt? Whenever there is a change around us, there needs to be a change within us, an inner preparation. The change has to start in our mind. If we resist the internal shift, we resist the external change too. It leaves us stressed and unhappy. Instead of sticking to internal comfort zones created due to past experiences or belief systems, let’s cultivate a habit of being able to change our habits. Flexibility increases our ability to adjust and adapt to different people and environments. Using our powers to accept, adjust, accommodate, tolerate, or mould are one decision away. Remind ourselves, I adapt to people and situations and flow with life. I know when to adjust and when to confront, and I use both powers the right way. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #siargaoisland #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #sthirabhaga #visvamitrasana #armbalance #sideplank #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #siargao #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #advanceda (at Sadhana Siargao) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVItrQrB6Nb/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's easy to keep chasing your tail and running in circles in this practice. There will be forever another posture to tackle, another posture to achieve some sort of level of success in. But when do you say to yourself that I am not the asana, this practice is not a series of accomplishments, this asana does not define me how do I learn the lesson that constantly striving to do more, to bend deeper, to push myself to the extreme. In actuality be taking me further away from my true self and from the essence of this practice. I am not the Yoga Asana. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #siargaoisland #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #yogaeverywhere #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #intermediateseries #strong #vrschikasana #islandlife #handstand #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #siargao #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Siargao Island Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1N2EwJLmE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
