Benefits of teaching full time: I can’t wipe the smile off my face

Feeling abundant, grateful and inspired these past few months.

-One day you’ll meet the happiest version of yourself and it will all be worth it-

Launching our six week program on April 24th! See you in the hot room crew

Beyond excited to be collaborating with Altius Velo in April for a six week recovery yoga program. First session April 10th, let's go crew!

Practice anywhere anytime all the time: your yoga practice travels with you outside of your studio space and off your mat. One of the biggest elements in my practice is playfulness and exploration. Sometimes in a studio space I get hyper focused and find myself in serious practice mode..

Remember it’s important to bring back play… take your practice elsewhere… Dancers pose on ice, this was a fun shot!

Practice your craft: post teaching play is what keeps my fire going.

Playing around with the current state of my own practice breeds creativity when I sequence classes. Offering fresh, empowering and inspiring experiences in classes is a huge aspect of teaching for me.

Teacher yes, but always a student; learning growing and playing around

More block talk!

Floating half moon or Ardha Chandrasana is a balancing posture that involves rooting through your standing leg and floating the other.

Creating balance here can be found through alignment of your hips, and shoulders.

You can use a block underneath your supporting hand when working on stacking your hips on top of one another.

When you are ready to play with your balance simply remove your hand from your block

Let’s talk practice expectations… sometimes we map out this idea in our heads about what our practice will look like or feel like, because we’ve done it before. Then it doesn’t occur the way we thought it would.

As a yogi and instructor I’ve experienced some days where I flow through postures with ease and other days I’m falling over in tree pose.

The beauty of a yoga practice is that it is simply that…. A practice. Let go of what you think your practice should look like. Surrender to what it is today, meet yourself where you’re at.

It is what it is

The space of change is actually quite beautiful. It’s like you’re staring at a clean slate and you really get to determine what happens next ❤️

What are blocks for anyway? When I first started my yoga practice I viewed blocks as me not being strong enough to hold a posture.

Blocks are now a must have for my practice especially during a vinyasa flow.

Blocks provide extra space for your shoulders and chest, think of it as an extension to your arms! Providing stability in postures such as downdog but can also make advanced postures, such as float throughs or crow more accessible.

New to blocks? Try them in your downdog!

New beginnings 💕🧘‍♀️

On Friday night this room was completely full of souls flowing their hearts out. I had no words to describe how beautiful it was to watch these humans move and breathe together.

One of my students described class as magical and I couldn’t think of a better way to sum it up.

Still can’t believe I do this for a living 🧘‍♀️💕

Happy 1 year to my second home ❤️ I’ve watched this place grow from the ground up and it’s unbelievable.

Thank you to our dedicated community and wonderful souls who fill this space. You keep this place going and thanks to you we are adding 20 NEW CLASSES IN NOVEMBER 🧘‍♀️❤️

Absorb the benefits of practice: Savasana allows the body to absorb and integrate the benefits of your practice into your muscle memory, mind and nervous system. It allows the physical body (heart rate, blood pressure etc) and nervous system to return to baseline. It also feeds into our practice.

A pose that involves linking the hands (or sometimes a hand to a wrist) in a process that rotates both the shoulders and the torso is called a bind. This link causes the body to be “bound” and held as a container, and therefore constricted in some ways by the arms and hands. Binds require flexibility both in the physical body — in order to come into and maintain the pose — and in the mind, in order to stay present and sustain the pose.

If you’re looking to go physically deeper into a pose and increase the effects of rotation, binds can be an excellent way to do this. They also offer a different way to explore and experience alignment by forcing you to make adjustments to make the pose work. Binds allow you to be curious, to play, and to be your own teacher — in other words, they’re fun!

Connecting to breath: one of the most beneficial things I’ve done for my teaching is spending a few moments on my mat connecting to my breath

Spending a few moments either in downdog or savasana before teaching allows me to feel engaged to the breath of my students during class.

Your breath guides your practice, everything is linked with inhales and exhales. So if you haven’t yet today… breathe

Benefits of backbends: backbends are known to be strong energizing postures, they tap into the circulatory and nervous system by increasing blood flow.

Wheel is one of my favorites, my back body feels strong, my arms and shoulders are engaged and lit up, which helps with stronger flows and arm balances

As a yoga teacher it’s not very often you get to practice alongside your students…

Tonight I had the honor of teaching a small class of two souls where I practiced, and they followed with little instruction and such grace.

Unbelievably humbled ❤️ thank you fam for letting me continue to share my passion with you
