MEvolve Coaching by Nicole

Live Your Yoga Immersion January 2022

God had a bigger plan for this one- the third time experiencing the gift that this program gives people through the lens of a leader AND a student.

A week that I had expected to be of support, but was instead a co-leader; while I was going through my own transformation. I got to witness three amazing women get their yoga teacher certification, but beyond that got to see them go deeper within themselves.

You see yoga is an all encompassing practice. It goes beyond the beautiful poses you do on your mat. It is the communion of your mind body and spirit. It can be practiced in form of play, dance, hikes, gatherings. It’s whatever will support you in coming back to presence and in welcoming ALL parts of you. It’s being with your fears, and having courageous honesty on what you need in the moment. It’s looking in the mirror and start seeing yourself beyond your physical appearance. It’s finding balance in the chaos by embracing that chaos. It’s healing ancestral wounds with family and letting the walls down to truly open your heart.

I also got to witness all the gifts my fellow leaders bring to the world. The play and culinary of , the wisdom and medicine of , the magic and presence of , and the authenticity and knowledge of . Together we were able to create a beautiful experience for our fellow yoginis and boy did they sure show their appreciation. This is what I got to witness this week. This is what this yoga teacher program offers- and I know there aren’t many (if any) like this out there.

Thank you , , for trusting us in providing these students what you gave us 10 months ago. Thank you for creating a program that supports others in coming home to themselves and that being the biggest tool a teacher can ever have.

Amen. Aho. Namaste. IAOMAI. As hay. And so it is 🛎💚✨

✨The prayer that helped heal criminals in a psychiatric ward✨

This powerful ancient Hawaiian practice was used by Dr. Len, who without even seeing the patients, assisted in their healing at a ward of the Hawaiian State Hospital. The short end of the story is that he took it upon himself to review each file in an office of the hospital. In four years, the patients, who some were heavily medicated and in shackles, were able to walk free.

This is a perfect example that your inner work does not only help you heal yourself but also those around you (because we are all ONE). He would review each file and identify within himself how his own actions could’ve contributed to the patients’ mental challenges. Then he would use this prayer, with full intention and attention, to improve himself; and as a result he would do just that AND assist in the improvement of the patient.

Personal responsibility is something this world is not familiar with. There’s this tendency to think that admitting our wrongs make us weak… when in reality it adds to our power.

I encourage you to use this prayer every time someone wrongs you, and take responsibility on how you added to the equation. Take yourself out of the victim mentality, detach from the justifying stories in your mind, and rise to your power.

I love to use this technique with clients during our somatic sessions, and seeing the liberation and aliveness that is sparked as a result is priceless. From this space they are able and are more willing to take action toward their goal.

Forgiving ourselves for the judgements, actions, and misunderstandings of our past sets us free 🕊

The faint line of where land meets sea 🌅

As faint as the line between what your brain is registering as real and as imagined (there are MANY studies proving this).

Believe me when I tell you that you create your own reality ✨

In the past, I didn’t like to dream because of the disappointment I would experience if it didn’t come true. Such an innocent way to protect myself, but in reality I just shut myself down in the process. I know I’m not the only one in this, because I see the resistance to dream or visualize within my clients when we first start.

I feel as if society really took away the power of imagination and slaved us to a “practical” reality. To playing small and “smart”. At least that’s my story 🤷🏽‍♀️.

I am here to let you know you can play in both!

Your dream world is your manifestation muscle. In where you get aligned and center before you enter to visualize what it is that you want. To deepen it you get to discover what you desire beneath your material wants. Then start creating it with what you have today 💫

My Dare to Dream workshop supports you in this 🤓

Come back to yourself, and take the moment to dream 🌈

I want to support you in taking your power back and honor the inner child in you in mastering this skill 🤗

I promise it’s worth it.

✨for this or something better✨

Home is where the heart is 💚

A famous quote that I deeply misunderstood. I would hear or see this quote and think that it was related to my relationships. My family, friends, partners… they were home. This belief led to me giving my heart away. With what I know now, I realize that calling these people home was so unfair to them and myself.

I had a shift while on a hike with an old friend. I mentioned something about going home back to our campsite, and he subtly responds with “we are home” and touches his heart. That is what is true, wherever I am in the world… I am home. Because my heart lives in me and no other human could ever do a good job at taking care of it but myself. So, with this truth, my home has gotten radically remodeled in the last year by taking back parts of it that I gave away.

My home is now affected by my own thoughts, beliefs, and actions and not that of others.
Just typing that gives me a deep sense of empowerment and liberation 💥

I am now a witness to the patterns that lead to stories where I give my heart away, and I remind myself that the fullness and sense of belonging can be cultivated in this very moment. The only energy that can assist me in this is that of God, and no one else.

I learned that telling someone that they have my heart is a disservice to all.

All the people I get to share my love with are just bonuses to the experience 🥰

It took some time to truly understand this quote to its highest meaning. Then, again it was perfect timing 🙃

A healing journey is that of coming home and into your heart 💕.

What a good day to call myself a Certified Holistic Coach!

Another certification on the books, this program really supported me in acknowledging the value in community.

Radiant has been in my coaching journey from the beginning, but I did not start my certification process with them.

My first certification, a process I did mainly on my own, was focused on mindset coaching. I was still in a “I have to do this on my own and be practical”mentality. Looking back I realize that it was just what I could manage at that time as step toward my calling.

Not until my purpose stated getting clearer and my mentality shifted did the opportunity of this program come. The program helped me review all the mindset tools that come with a coaching certification and MORE.

It fostered a community of different coaches from different parts of the world and brought the opportunity to see and appreciate the differences in this industry. It holds a space for radical acceptance of what is true for the self and support for the shifts that happen when one takes on the journey of a holistic coach.

What gets me most excited about this field is that there is abundance in the ways people can find support and guidance in aligning with what is true for them. I was able to see this through this program, and for that I am so grateful.

I look forward to growing more into the being I was brought on this world to be, and to co create with the connections made in this program toward helping people wake up to their truth.

A special shout-out to Dez Stephens for creating this amazing program and the space for such a beautiful community 💕🙏🏼🌎

Cheers to learning and growing 💫

Hope you all are having - beautiful Wednesday ✨

A poem dedicated to me 🥰

At times I feel like I am making up for the many years I abandoned this little girl…

This year I invested in a year long program for the growth of my business. In which I came to find out that the growth would first begin with me…

I have completed 6 months of using coaching tools on my self, with the help of my peers, EVERY week (with 4 total weeks off) since January… and WOW. The amount of healing and understanding I have discovered does not equate to any financial investments or gains.

I found depths of myself I never realized I hid, and generated a whole different level of self love. The love I have for myself through my Creator. Deeply knowing what divine love looks like and understanding that my human self cannot equate to get there. I am blessed to have those moments of unconditional love rise from me, but know it’s impossible to me to always be at that level. Thankfully that love is always with me and holding my hand as I face challenges and places that activate my fear.

I wrote this poem after a spurt of inspiration from the book Be Love Now by . It felt so beautiful to write, feel, and believe these words. Now that I have completed 6 months of a journey of deep self discovery, as a celebration I am called to share it with you.

I know to some all this work seems unnecessary and perhaps overwhelming. However, if you give yourself a chance… you can open the doors to freedom from yourself. From the rules you unconsciously go by, from the lies you keep telling yourself, from worrying about the judgements of others, from running on a programming that no longer serves you.

It’s time for a software upgrade ✨

Trust me when I tell you that your soul is ready for you to get to know it 💚

Where do you want to start?

P.s. I want to give gratitude to my AMAZING support community, who have been through it with me as I navigate my calling. From family, friends, and co workers who see me as I am and continue to show myself to be. I love you guys

Santosha 😌 Contentment

This is a message I got this week after a short breath work session.

The ego can go to town telling us where we should be, what we are not doing right, ways we ‘failed’, and taking away from the opportunity to cherish where we are.

As a wing 3 in the enneagram, I can get lost in the art of doing and placing a lot of my energy and focus in getting things done. This is great, but only when it’s balanced with the art of BEING and stepping back.

This is something I want to keep very aware of, because due to this tendency I run the risk of experiencing burn out. Experiencing burn out takes away from enjoying what I am doing and really sets me back from moving forward.

This is why these words can serve me as a daily reminder that slowing down and enjoying the now is crucial to living a well balanced life. It reminds me that tomorrow is not quite promised, and my attachment to these expectations I create for myself only take me away from celebrating what I am already creating.

Santosha is explained in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as an attitude of contentment, and it attributes to a practice of self-training (Niyamas) into a way to experience wholesomeness. What we innately already are… When we live from a space of Santosha, we can experience unexpected happiness, mental peace, and pure satisfaction… or in short JOY.

So I invite you to let go of the expectations that you hold so high, that sometimes feel so heavy. Take the load off for a minute, or a while, and give yourself the permission to experience JOY with what is already here.

What you ate this morning, getting to feel the sun, reaching out to a loved one, sharing a laugh with a stranger, taking a small step toward your goal, saying I love you, getting to wake up in the morning… these are just a few things you can savor if you are having a hard time experiencing joy.

Share in the comments how you are living from santosha (contentment) today

Happy International Day of Yoga🧘🏽‍♀️

Yoga used to be something I would admire from afar, but felt like I could never do.

Stories went like…
“I’m not flexible”
“I’m not patient”
“That won’t keep weight off”
“Looks impossible”
“I don’t fit into its expectations”
“If I can barely stand downward dog how can I stand this practice?”

It wasn’t until I started shifting the way I chose to live and started experimenting new things that could support me in that shift, that I realized all those stories were lies.

Several visits to Korsi Hot Yoga , and a trip to Vikasa Yoga later, I had found the healing art of this practice and started a true loving relationship with my body.

I realized that what I admired can also be mine. That I am worthy of what calls my soul, and it doesn’t have to be something I just admire from afar.

2020 came with the opportunity to advance my new love for this practice in a yoga teacher training that deepened my connection with myself. I had realized that yoga is WAY beyond poses on a mat. I found it to be another outlet to find my truth.

Now I am using this practice to help others find the deep wisdom their body holds, and working with my beautiful teacher Misti Dian to create a space where ANYONE can practice yoga and discover what living their yoga means to them💚

I am eternally grateful for the people and experiences this practice has brought and will continue to bring 🙏🏼

How do you live your yoga?

🔆Life as an entrepreneur🔆
Doubt is inevitable… at least for me. It is something I face on almost a daily basis. Sometimes I let it take the wheel, but most times I come back to my faith.

Faith in the love that my work is based on. Faith in the WHY I created this business. Faith in the whispers I receive from my Highest self. Faith in the evidence that I have always been held and looked after. Faith in myself and purpose.

When I come back to what is TRUE, doubt dissipates, and power is embraced. Then I can take the action that is required of me.

I know doubt just wants to protect me from the unknown. I just have to remind it that there is a bigger force already taking care of us, and that we are held.

Life feels effortless when I surrender to the higher force at hand. When I know I am a co-creator of my reality, and it’s not all on me.

What about you? Will you let faith take the wheel?

✨C O M M U N I T Y✨
Just completed an amazing week of being of service to four amazing beings, as they embarked the transformational journey that lives in .

On top of that I had the PRIVILEGE of hosting my Dare to Dream workshop to students. Funny thing is that I had no idea I was doing an in person workshop to a much bigger crowd than expected until less than 48 hrs before the event.

My public speaking muscle was tested and It was that easy 🙌🏼

My take away of this week is the knowing that I can do it all. I can be of service, I can teach, I can guide, I can work hard, I can have fun… these are all things I GET to do and I GET to enjoy. ALL thanks to God and the COMMUNITY that supports me.

Trust me when I say we are not meant to do life on our own. We are brought here to share our gifts with others and support each other’s dreams.

I feel abundance in ALL areas of my life, but especially in that of community. I have been gifted with an amazing family, life long friends, astonishing co workers, and now this… my IAOMAI family. This is Grace. This are the gifts that reap when you say yes to your soul’s calling and humbly walk in the path God has for you.

Wake up to your essence
Trust it
And thrive

Showing up for yourself 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏾🙋🏼‍♂️

What does that look like to you?

When, during the day or week, are you dedicating time for your SELF?

Many of us are willing to do things to please others, to meet our responsibilities, to fulfill our roles, to meet expectations others or society has of us, to go by an agenda.

At what level are we willing to just be with ourselves?

Give our souls the chance to speak up and express in what ways it wants to be honored ?

No rules. No should’s . No how’s. No expectations. No story.

Just essence.

What we are without our roles, our looks, our careers, our desires, our beliefs?

Whole 💚

I invite you to take some time.
Place your hands on your heart
Let deep breaths gently close your eyes
Be with your breath and with your heart
And say out loud
“I am willing to show up for myself”
Louder.
One more time.
Stay here and receive the response of what that looks like for you.

Write it down on your journal, in the comments, on a post it, anywhere.

Showing up for yourself is the best gift you can give yourself and others.

Namaste 🙏🏼

🌿S U R R E N D E R🌿

The art of surrender is one that can bring a lot of resistance for our modern day society.

We think that by having control of situations we are keeping everything in order and safe... sure, but at what cost?

Attachment to control creates suffering in our present moment in order to have a predictable future...

Something that is not here yet, and it’s not even guaranteed .

What would happen if we were willing to just surrender to what happens in the now?

When life throws us curveballs, let’s adjust to what is present versus suffering due to the attachment to what was “meant” to happen.

AND still take action with what we have today toward what we want to create tomorrow.

Life can be effortless if we CHOOSE it to be. It’s all about the choices we make every day, what we decide to give our energy to, or how we decide to respond to our thoughts and outside circumstances.

Are you willing to surrender, and believe that everything that happens in your life is there for you as a resource ?

The Universe is always conspiring for you 💫

Hello to my beautiful followers 🤗⁣
⁣
I wanted to take some time to introduce myself and my mission around MEvolve to my new followers 💫⁣
⁣
I am certified life coach, and yoga teacher, with the mission to hold space for others to discover the power of their truth. Through mind, body, and soul integration practices, I guide others through the powerful journey of meeting their inner wisdom. As a result, clients experience a sense of self and use this transformative energy to create the life they are here to live. ⁣
⁣
My God given gift is the ability to create a safe container for others to explore within. My own yearning for self, and the desire to be of service, has led me to study and practice the different ways this can be done. With this knowledge, I am able to meet people at the exact point that feels safe for them to start. We are all one, yet we are all unique, this is why non judgment and acceptance are key in the relationship I hold with my clients. ⁣
⁣
This inside out method, not only sets you up for success, but it also allows you to cultivate endless possibilities that shape out the way you live your life. I invite you to discover the deep knowing that has always been within you. ⁣
⁣
What’s does living with purpose mean to you? ⁣
⁣
⁣
Peace. Love. Light ⁣
Nicole 💚⁣

My words of affirmation 🥰⁣
⁣
These words were lovingly said to me by 10 amazing fellow coaches, as I received my Yoga Teacher Certification. I have them now in my office to see everyday, and to keep watering the seeds I have been planting for my life’s mission.

Now I want to share them with you and also have them in this Instagram profile to look back to 🤓. The energy behind these words is what is building MEvolve, my dream to create the space for others to powerfully come back to their inner truth 💚⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Thank you , for the idea on how to share these words that mean so much to me 🥰

Yoga-Coach Certified⁣⁣
I never thought how much this piece of paper would mean to me. My yoga practice has taken me in depths when it comes to my mind body connection. However, the journey for this certification has taken me in depths of my soul. I am eternally grateful for all the work put into this program and for the way my peers showed up. I know offering these teachings will impact my clients in amazing ways, because it has happened to me. To live yoga is to live in union, it’s not just a fancy pose on a mat. It is integrating all parts of you that bring you peace, and acknowledge to then let go those parts that disrupt the union within. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
My goal is not to only be a yoga teacher, but to bring yoga within my coaching practice. To create the container for my clients’ body to tell them what areas are holding them back. To help my clients witness their power when they allow all parts of them to authentically show up. To show my clients the sacredness their bodies hold. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This week has been transformative to say the very least. Each day felt like a week because of how accelerated the healing was, the authenticity within the group, and the amazing container IAOMAI Retreats held. Love and guidance was present in every corner, and we were all committed to do the work. Thank you ⁣⁣Misti Dian and Jason Krupek for being you.
