Taking a much-needed mid-week pause to sit with what needs to be listened to and to heal. Even though it’s just a few hours in between classes, it still counts. Self-care is not selfish. 🧘🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “The universe will put signposts in your life. You can either ignore them or embrace them. You can choose and wish for all the things you want, but the things that are coming to you, you will never be able to hide from and the things that you want so bad that are not supposed to be for you for whatever reason, they'll never come to you.” - Yul Vazquez Thank you @happyfingers for the beautiful, serene photo. 🥰 #wednesday #selfcare #healing #meditation #inward #deeplistening #zen #soulwork #lettinggo #recovery #rest #practice #tunein #workyourlight #yoga #silence #stillness

I miss this. 🏹 Can’t wait to do it again when my weekends open up in April. 🤗 In the meantime, last Budokon pop-up class at @334yoga tomorrow, March 30, at 9am. Please call ahead to make reservations if you wish to join! Osu! #archery #archer #target #practice #bullseye #weekendactivities #budokon #movement #osu #namaste #weekend #targetpractice #bowandarrow #warrior #yogi #yoga #movementarts

Today’s self-practice theme: Steady movement with grace. Find your composure in this ever-changing world by looking inward and connecting deeply with who you truly are. You are consciousness itself, aware of the shifts of each moment instead of being caught up with the fluctuations of life. Come back home by being present with what is here. Anicca. 🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🌷 #anicca #impermanence #momenttomoment #yoga #budokon #warrior #grace #gracefulmovement #mindfulness #awareness #remainawake #monday #strength #agility #steadiness #mindfulmovement #meditation #vipassana

Hi Monday! 👋🏻 #mondaymovement #yoga #wildthing #yogini #backbend #heartopener #asana #mindfulmovement #movement #womanempowerment #newweek #openheart

“The person who, already being on the way, falls upon hard times in the world, will not as a consequence turn to those friends who offered them refuge and comfort and encourage their old self to survive. Rather, they will seek out someone who will faithfully and inexorably help them to risk themselves, so they may endure the difficulty and pass courageously through it. Only to the extent that a person exposes themselves over and over again to annihilation and loss can that which is indestructible be found within them. In this daring lie dignity and the spirit of true awakening.” - Karlfield Von Durkheim 🧘🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We don’t need to fight our battles alone. We can develop the strength and resilience to face them and still lean on a supportive community that believes in tough love. Osu. 🙏🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Join us in learning and experiencing new movements and possibilities through the weekly Budokon Flow classes every Saturday of this month at 9am @334yoga! Slots are limited so please call ahead to make reservations. See you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #budokon #movement #yoga #flow #strength #resilience #zen #balance #spiritualwarrior #warrior #yogi #journey #meditation #osu #weekend #weekendwarrior

“It takes courage—this is often called the path of the spiritual warrior—to endure the sharp pains of self-discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.” ~ Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love #spiritualwarrior #yoga #meditation #strength #courage #journey #warrior #returntolove #womanempowerment #selfdiscovery #liberation #awakening

Happy International Women’s Day! It’s always the right time to honor and express the fierce but loving warrior within you. Osu! 🙏🏻✨🧘🏻‍♀️ #womensday #fierce #osu #femaleempowerment #transition #budokon #warrior #yogi #yoga #movement

“Free” is not free from feelings, but free to feel each one and let it move on, unafraid of the movement of life. ~ @jack_kornfield ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌷🧘🏻‍♀️✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Excited to announce that I’ll be teaching some special Budokon Flow classes this month @334yoga every Saturdays at 9am starting March 9! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Slots are very limited though so please call ahead to make reservations. 🤗 Osu! 💪🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fearless #freedom #budokon #movement #movementmondays #jackkornfield #yoga #meditation #flow #annica #popupclass #weekendclass #strength #animallocomotion

🎥 Cut to: March 2019. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can’t believe the first two months are over and we’re entering a new one already. 2019 is turning out to be so action-packed and I’m sure there are so many more crazy plot twists in store ahead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s both scary and exhilarating to live and be part of this ever-changing world, I tell you. So it’s very important to find composure amidst all these changes. I have a hard time with that, to be honest. There are days, I go to bed feeling awful or disappointed with myself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thankfully, not one but THREE, teachers in my life keep reminding me: “Begin again.” And this helps keep me grounded. Yes, each day is a new day - a clean slate - filled with all possibilities. Gotta make the best of every moment. Let’s do this, guys! ✨🌷🧘🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸: @citrusnap ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #anicca #beginagain #startagain #newday #newmonth #march #courage #resilience #composure #astheworldturns #change #impermanence #meditation

Currently reading: The Wise Heart by @jack_kornfield and within the first few pages, this line struck me deeply: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “... discover the power of the heart to hold all things — sorrow, loneliness, shame, desire, regret, frustration, happiness, and peace — and find a deep trust that wherever we are and whatever we face, we can be free in their midst.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I believe in our capacity to be resilient and expansive, no matter the circumstance. Sometimes, we may forget and be blinded by outside factors but ultimately, we’ll wake up to our truth sooner or later. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ May all beings be happy. May all beings be healthy. May all beings be safe. May all beings be free. 🧘🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #metta #meditation #lovingkindness #jackkornfield #thewiseheart #wisdom #resilience #yoga #backbend #inversion #openheart #kindness #strength #patience #hope #love #freedom #liberation

Stumbled into this year like whoa! Worked hard to keep my balance and in a blink of an eye - it’s already February! 👀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I didn’t expect January to be so fast-paced but I’m very grateful for all the memories and new experiences it brought. 🙏🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ February’s coming in quick too but will have a 10-day reprieve from all the hustle as I take my first-ever Vipassana retreat. 🧘🏻‍♀️🤫📵 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll be surrendering my phone, social media, (books, journaling, yoga, and speaking) during that time so if I’m not responsive from Feb 6-17, please don’t worry and kindly be patient. I’ll respond to my emails and messages when I get back. 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vipassana #silentmeditation #meditation #sngoenka #hustle #silence #retreat #socialmediahiatus #hermitmode #yoga

Pierce through the illusion. 👁🙏🏻🧘🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Very very grateful for all that 2018 had to offer. It was a year of letting go and really deep healing. It was very hard for many months - all the changes, endings, and illness kept disrupting my peace - but in the end, with the help of my beloved friends, family, and even strangers’ kindness, I discovered the beauty in resilience and starting over. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you, 2018, for everything. And hello, 2019! Welcome to the present moment. 🤲🏻🧘🏻‍♀️💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy happy new year, everyone! #zenmindbeginnersmind #yoga #illusion #reality #sunset #pigeonpose #swordmudra #newyear #2019 #2018 #lessons #growth #resilience #startingover
