Bella Vita Yoga

Spring flowering vines and trees are blooming now! This Wisteria is so fragrant, I wish you could smell its heavenly scent. As I went in close to get the photo it was intoxicatingly hypnotic!!!! As if she was saying don’t go, stay for awhile and linger around some more. 😌😍

The sunrises lately here in New Mexico have been so pretty. This was around 7:00 am and it only lasted a minute or so. 🌅

I take after my mom, she was so good at making something from nothing. I made this curry soup with pork and vegetables from a dinner the night before. It was crockpot slow cooked Chinese pork. Along with Jasmine rice. To make the soup I added lots of fresh vegetables, beef stock,curry paste more curry and turmeric and some of that jasmine rice,to get a wonderful orange color I added more curry paste to taste. I topped with fresh cilantro chopped peanuts and sriracha.

This succulent container I planted a couple years has finally really filled in nicely! They all started as small little 4 inch pot plants. This indirect diffused morning and early afternoon light seems to be the perfect sweet spot! It’s a mixture of succulents that we’re giving to me from a fellow gardener. I like how they co mingle together completing each other as they sunbathe blissfully.

Homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup. All fresh organic ingredients! Made with nutritious homemade chicken stock. Also made our own homemade crispy crunchy spiced tortilla strips, topped with fresh avocado,cilantro, Mexican sour cream with a squeeze of lime just before serving. Delicious 🤤 tortillasoupmovie 🇲🇽

I was captivated by this beautiful garden area in front of The Bistro At Encanterra. This is Queens Creek just outside of Scottsdale Arizona. 🌴🌳🌲🎄🍀☘️🌿🌱🎋🍃🍂🍁🍄🌾🌷🌹🌺🌸🥀🌻🌼 🌳 🌺

Little bright colorful arrangements I made for the clinic today in between classes. They really brighten up the office and everyone’s day!!! 💜 ❤️

I’m super excited for my interview with Yoga Jounal Magazine tomorrow!! Nervous and excited!!!
I’m also happy to be talking about all the things I love, Yoga, meditation, chakras and my newest interest sound healing.
I’m new to sound healing but very interested in all that it does. I recently acquired a heart chakra sound bowl and have been using it on my students in the studio during chakra meditation. There are so many emotional and physical benefits. Wish me luck and hopefully it will be something they are interested in.

I am very excited to have the wonderful opportunity to be interviewed by yoga journal magazine! This will happened in about a month or so. I’m so honored and excited I can’t keep it in! This is a small studio where I focus on one or two individuals at a time. I have always been a one on one person so it completely works for me and my students. One to One actually happened and went this direction because of the Covid pandemic. Since then it just wound up being something that just stuck and worked out for the best. It was almost meant to be. A silver lining. I enjoy doing one to one yoga and smaller groups of 3 or 4 very much. I am also learning at this time more about sound therapy and how sound waves can relax the body and mind. My studio is inside GD psych services in Rio Rancho New Mexico. 4200 MedowLark Ln. Ste. A1

Starting our class this morning. Vinyasa slow flow.

Watching these balloons float by is never dull! We see them during sunset and sunrise around 5:00 pm. This one is from the Indian Cultural Center. It looks especially beautiful against the blue sky.

A beautiful sunset fades through the winter trees adding a backdrop of colors to their dark silhouettes creating a dramatic contrast and then fading into winter darkness.

Christmas time is here!!! I love decorating and making the house look festive!!! ❤️

65 degrees in December!!! I really don’t even need a jacket!!! Crazy!!! The sun is shining and it’s gorgeous out! I’ve begun to start the decorations outside, lights etc and I’m just in awe of the weather here this year. ❤️

Happy thanksgiving!!! practicing gratitude not just today but every day is essential for me. Also being ok with not being perfect. This photo shows me after I’ve fallen out of hand stand on the beach. I’m learning to let go of perfection and ego and be ok with being a little messy. Perfection isn’t really real. For me I continue to practice gratitude 🙏🏽 and mindfulness and just try to have fun while practicing yoga and not take it so seriously. Be silly have fun. Of course be safe and mindful not to hurt yourself.

This hot air balloon was taking a sunset tour. The early fall evenings have been so mild. Perfect for a balloon ride. It just happened to land across the street!!! Had to run over and get a quick pic and watch the people disembark. This always looks so much fun to me but I have yet to try it.

New Mexico sunrises are beautiful! This one slowly changing from pink to orange!

Hot air balloons landing in the distance is always a fun way to start your morning!!! I love the sound they make, there’s something so magnificent about it! I guess it’s one of the reasons they call New Mexico The Land of Enchantment!

Stunning fall colors today!!!! 🍁🍂

Enjoying a last bit of summer weather here in Arizona 85 degrees and glorious Bloody Mary’s by the pool…… heavenly. 🌵

This is some of the floral pieces I created for a summer wedding in Scottsdale Arizona. Yes it was very hot there but fortunately we were in cool and comfortable air conditioning!! Keeping those flowers cool, calm and collected. On the left is the bridal bouquet and on the right is maid of honor bouquet. Everything was white on white with sage green accents. ❤️ 🌺🌸🌺

A beautiful autumn day in Corrales New Mexico. This is one of the most beautiful places I think in New Mexico! Just about 15 minutes from me. It feels like I’m walking inside a painting!! New Mexico is so gorgeous in fall.
