The baby that was cooking here is nearly 8 weeks old now and my yoga looks mighty different these days. I get on my mat for 10-15 minutes of asana just to feel my body, wrong things out, and start to reawaken some of the muscles that haven’t been used in a while. My practice continues to be something that mostly happens beyond the mat. As a new mom, I’m working on being fully present and conscious, cultivating patience, pausing and breathing, and filtering through all those new-mom feelings of not-enough-ness and shame. And even on the harder days, I’m welcoming the divine sense of being the whole world to this one tiny being. #8weeks #postpartum #pandemicbaby #fourthtrimester #yogimom #babyyogi #sweetpia #morethanasana #beyondthemat #liveyouryoga #yogalife #breathe #patience #presence (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGIbWB0FkHe/?igshid=roj7wnhwf7di

Been a long time coming. Grateful to the folks at @practiceyogaaustin for marching onward with this training and creating a path for me to complete this journey while pregnant during a pandemic. #keeponlearning #eryt200 #ryt500 #liveyouryoga #pregnantyogi #yogainthetimeofcorona #atxyoga #finishwhatyoustart #alwaysastudent (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD1zOajlFw4/?igshid=1p5dhyjx40wlo

Doing all the things... * Working on my 300hr. certification. * Growing a human. * Planning a move. * Looking for more work. * Figuring out how to rent out my house. * Constantly resisting the gnawing craving for donuts. * And still teaching a handful of zoom classes each week!

Truthfully, some days I feel kind of cranky about it all. I get cranky about not working as much as usual and not feeling as productive as I think I should be. I day-dreamed about taking one last great trip before the baby comes, and I get cranky setting those plans aside. And I get cranky just like any other human being about having the flow of my normal daily impeded and restricted, even if I can understand why things need to be this way. I’d love to tell you I never have to wrestle with negative thoughts or prickly moods, but I’d be lying. But I am at least learning how to have a better relationship with myself in those moments. My yoga helps me engage with my experiences instead of trying to deny them or change them (not everything needs to be fixed!) Turning to my practice helps me digest and metabolize the cranky and the prickly and hopefully convert them into a little more patience, a little more compassion, a softer heart. What does your yoga do for you? Wanna do some yoga together? 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️ You can find me in the @yogapodaustin zoom room this coming week: * Mon: 6:30p All Levels Flow * Tues: 12:00p All Levels Flow & 6:30p Yin * Wed: 3:00p VinYin & 7:00p Yin #zoomyoga #atxyoga #atxyogateacher #atxyogateachers #atxyogameetup #camelpose #pregnantyogi #22weeks #teekigirls #teekigram #manduka #liveyouryoga #selfreflection #selfinquiry #morethanasana #8limbs #feelingthefeelings #breathe #openheart #heartopener #trustthepractice #theyogamustgoon #yogainthetimeofcorona #stayhomestayhealthy #socialdistancing #vinyasa #yinyoga #vinyin (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_qBVuElSnp/?igshid=8zdshogq3cd5

You’ve been asking for online yoga nidra and I really can’t think of anything better to support us during these challenging times. So tell me, when would you be most inclined to pause for a 30-40 minute yoga nidra meditation? - Early evening during the week? Wrap up the work day and let your practice support you in switching gears. - Late evening during the week? Get dinner done, maybe get the kids off to bed, and give yourself this time to fully wind down. - Mid-afternoon on a weekend? Indulge in what weekends are supposed to be all about: relaxation and restoration. I’d love to take your preference into consideration. Comment below or dm me to weigh in. And stay tuned! Online yoga nidra is coming your way ✨ #irest #yoganidra #meditation #onlineyoga #trustthepractice #restanddigest #bestill #breathe #atxyogateacher #atxyoga #meditate #stayhome #dropin #humansbeing #easeofbeing #getgrounded #goinward #welcoming #awareness #doyourpractice #liveyouryoga #morethanasana #8limbs (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-dLurBlXgm/?igshid=zi8jbm9v8ji2
