Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate. I am so tired of prejudice, hatred, and stereotypes causing people to act in negative ways. What good will it do? Will it solve anything or take back what they have done? No. It just places you on a similar level of the origins of your hatred. I will always accept all people of all ethnicities, religions, social statuses, sexual orientations, etc....because to me people are people, some act bad and cause misrepresentations, but that does not mean that every person who looks like them or is from where they are is the same way?! If someone is good then theyre good, if theyre bad then theyre bad....it doesnt matter who they are or where theyre from.

🌍✨GAIA✨🌎 #YJGoddessProject Day 7 ➰ being named after the earth goddess Demeter, I feel I have a strong connection to Gaia, known as Mother Earth. She represents nourishment, is Mother to all, & the epitome of Global Love 💚🌏 Honored in the asana #Kurmasana or #TortoisePose 🐢 on one of my favorite types of earth 😊🌅🌊 Hosts: @yogajournal @siannasherman @mackenzieyoga @sonyayoga @allisuzanneshafer @andrew7sealy Sponsors: @kiragraceyoga @jeannevergerjewelry

🌙 ARTEMIS 🌙 #YJProject Day 6 ➰We express INDEPENDENCE, WILDNESS, & FOCUS with #pinchamayurasana in #archerpose in honor of the goddess of the hunt and wild, Artemis ✨💘🌙 I love the representation of this goddess, a powerful independent goddess that thrives in the freedom of nature and runs by the moon and trees. 🍃 This was pretty difficult in a small hotel space 😆but I tried imitating the bow and arrow that Artemis wields as she runs freely through the wild. She is a huntress, protector, and strongly associated to the moon, deer, and trees 🌲🍂💘🌛 Love embodying her wild yet focused power ✨🌟 Hosts: @yogajournal @siannasherman @mackenzieyoga @sonyayoga @andrew7sealy @allisuzanneshafer Sponsors: @kiragraceyoga @jeannevergerjewelry #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogi #yogalife #yogalove #artemis #sisterhood #igyogafam #igyogamovement #wild #balance #huntress #yogachallenge #benddontbreak #yogaeverywhere #hotelyoga #yoginidemi #namaste

🌹🌟VENUS 🌟🌹 #YJGoddessProject Day 5 with #yogajournal ↠ Today we honor and channel LOVE, SENSUALITY, & DESIRE from the beautiful goddess Venus in #ArdhaChandraChapasana a.k.a half moon pose with a bow 🌗💘 ☽✨☾ The Goddess Venus, also known as Aphrodite, is a goddess of love & fertility…she is associated with roses, swans, and even the stars, being she is known as “She who shows the way to the Stars” 🙌🏼🌟💫✨ I feel she is referred to as this because when one honors and expresses their innermost love and desires, then they feel they have the capacity to do anything, even reach for the stars 😌⭐️ As a cancer sign and moon-child, I have strong connections with this goddess…I wear my heart on my sleeve, even if unintentional. I may put on a feisty facade and try to act carefree and tough, but deep down I’m sensitive and super empathic. I feel deeply and love deeply, and I used to think it was a problem, but now in my (almost) 23 years of life, I’ve learned it’s the opposite…Love & Desire = Power, when directed in the right places 💖 One of my favorite quotes is “the greatest thing you’ll ever leave is just to love, and be loved in return.” So take Venus’ energy and express love…I promise you’ll feel better after 😊 DONT BE AFRAID OF THE FEELS PEOPLE, they are what make us feel alive…Honor the magical feelings inside of you by setting them free, and let the love flow you to the top ☝🏼️✨❤️🌹💫✨ ❥Hosts: @yogajournal @siannasherman @mackenzieyoga @sonyayoga @allisuzanneshafer @andrew7sealy ❥ Sponsors: @kiragraceyoga @jeannevergerjewelry

🌚💥#YJGoddessProject Day 4 ↠🌑KALI 🌑 This fierce goddess represents fearlessness, authenticity, sexuality, ferocity, and death, her name in Sanskrit means “She who is black” 💀 Her association with death and ferocity is a depiction of transformation on every level; her power of destruction of whatever no longer serves us clears the way for new life and purpose. Her mudras represent the protection and fearlessness of cutting out ANYTHING that brings us down. She reminds me of one of my favorite sayings “Do no harm, but take no shit.” Essentially, don’t let anything bring you down, not even yourself! Also, she reminds me that like the Phoenix, allow yourself to rise from the ashes and be reborn to your true, powerful self…a fierce goddess💪🏼💃🏻 ⚡️🔥🌑✨ ⋘ ⋙ Channeled this fierceness in #GoddessPose with the #KaliMudra above the head and the Kali tongue sticking out 😜⚡️⚡️🌚💀💥🔥 ⚡️Hosts ↠ @yogajournal @siannasherman @mackenzieyoga @sonyayoga @allisuzanneshafer @andrew7sealy ✨Sponsors ↠ @jeannevergerjewelry @kiragraceyoga
