ROCK THE VOTE - which is a right that people died for, and a responsibility. My mother taught me that on the other side of a right, is a responsibility.

Thinking of this place for my next global wellness experience! Thoughts?

Five Copper Petals Dramatically Enclose a Bamboo Yoga Studio in a Lush Bali Village — Colossal A recent project of IBUKU, "Lumi Shala" is a copper-coated structure with scalloped roofing that layers like five overlapping petals.

Well said! May we send all our healing ❤️‍🩹 prayers, energy, reiki, meditations for peace! Stop the hate!

For days now, I have sat frozen, staring at the horrible images of beautiful human beings, blasted and broken, all with hopes, dreams, and desires for a future that will never be realized. I grieve for these lives lost, and for the continued hatred that makes it possible to dehumanize one group of people toward the other and justify the acts of violence we are witnessing.

Someone wrote to me and asked, “Seane, as a yogi and a Jew, how do you reconcile this? On which side does your heart rest?”

On which side does my heart rest?

My heart will never rest until there is peace, justice, safety, equality, access to resources, dignity, respect, and love for ALL innocent people who want to live free. 

My heart sides with the early morning Jewish dancers celebrating the rising sun as Hamas paragliding terrorists float in the sky preparing for murder.

My heart sides with the countless innocent Palestinian citizens who exist under Hamas and Israeli rule and continue to live in pain, powerlessness, suffering, oppression, and abuse.

My heart sides with the Jewish families praying for the safety of their kidnapped friends and family and grieving their beloveds who were mercilessly slaughtered.  

My heart sides with the Palestinian mothers who cover their babies with their bodies to protect them from the bombing, who are thrust into darkness and without food, water, or supplies, facing a continued catastrophic humanitarian crisis that is not of their choosing. 

My heart sides with the Jewish people suffering from the endless anti-semitism that continues to threaten their very existence. My very existence.  

My heart sides with the Palestinian people who have absolutely no where to go. 

So I hold in my broken heart, my Jewish brothers and sisters. I’m so sorry. I hold in my broken heart my Palestinian cousins. I’m so sorry. None of this is right. 

I denounce terrorism and political supremacy in all forms and my heart will always side with those who want peace.

May God bless and protect the innocent and hold accountable those who put power, dominance, and terror over love, compassion, and unity. 

Shalom. Salam. Shanti. Peace. 🙏🏼

Remover of obstacles! May all BEings BE blessed!

🙏✨Happy Ganesh Chaturthi✨🙏

I got to help save a dog who was running in the middle of the road today. When I got home after returning her to her grateful owner I saw this sweet reel on my personal feed. I have been off social media for the most part as I have had some issues transitioning back into living in the States. All the homeless people here and mentally ill, addicted, and afflicted people on the streets break my heart. We are not taking care of our mentally ill or the homeless.

Sometimes I think we are more humane to animals than we are to humans.

May all beings be blessed and be taken care of.

September is a hard month for me with many anniversaries of people who have died, including my precious cat Luna who had to be put down on September 20th, 2017 - whom many of you will remember who practiced at Olive Yoga. The last years of Luna's life were spent in the present moment bliss of that sacred space. I hear it is still empty but our energy lives on from all the yoga, meditation, sound healing, Reiki, and community events we had there.

It is also the month my first niece Sky was born, what a gift. In addition, it is the month when Bhaktifest is hosted in Joshua Tree. It was back this year after the break from COVID restrictions. I got to see many people who used to attend Olvie Yoga and reminisce about our days at the studio. We carry all of this on in our daily practice.

September is also Su***de Awareness Month and I honor all who have succumbed to the burden of mental illness and those affected by the loss of loved ones to such a permanent choice: RIP Steve Shigley, Wendy Faith Rivka!

* My heart is heavy with so many losses that happened in September, but yoga makes it lighter. I lost my dad on September 6th, 1982 when I was only 13 and he was only 40.

I learned early to live life like there is no tomorrow. That is also practicing yoga!

I think the dog I helped today was a beautiful reminder of the Divine light and how we need to all take care of each other.

Maybe I need to get a dog?!

I love elephants! I do a plethora of waking alone…I am like an elephant 🐘!

Boundaries and awareness are important to make sure we are surrounding ourself in love and light.

So very true! I got trauma informed trained to heal myself and help others. I will implement trauma informed strategies at my Portugal Wellness Experience retreat and with my private clients.

If you cannot attend to retreat and would like to heal from within, which takes work, then please 🙏🏼 DM me to set up a zoom consultation. I’d love to help you on your journey to wellness.

I am a wellness educator. My goal is to help you become your own healer through a daily personalized practice.

I design each home sequence specific to your needs.

Namaste.

Practice with my teacher Kia Miller for the Solstice if you can. This will be a special offering focusing on the breath and chanting. 🙏🏼💝🕉️

I will be leading a special Free Summer Solstice class on Instagram this Wednesday, June 21st, at 5:30pm MT.

This is true! We must be ok with our inner journey as we self-reflect to self-correct. 🙏🏼

Happy Memorial Day! Blessings to all who have served❣️ May we honor all those who lost their Ives - to serve for others. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💖

I am getting excited for my pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago hike before my Portugal Wellness Experience.

We still have one room left for a solo adventurer, or up to three in the room! Views of the Atlantic Ocean to calm your mind, and a private pool to relax your body.

We will practice restorative yoga sequences to support un-plugging from your daily grind!

I will create an individualized practice for each participant to bring home - an 11 minute sequence to expand upon. The intention of this retreat is to create a space to explore what works best for each person, and how to continue the journey upon returning home.

I look forward to sharing the path with you. I will be blissed out from my pilgrimage along the coast of Portugal 🇵🇹 into Spain 🇪🇸 - back down to Lisbon to pick you up for our experience together❣️

I trust we will grow and flourish into the present moment bliss - the only moment that exists.

Namaste to your wellness 🙏🏻❣️
