Yoga with Julia

I read somewhere recently that the best thing you can do for yourself is “increase your surface area.” Go to a new park, go to the movies alone, try a new hobby, take a class on something new, talk to a stranger. The wider you spread yourself, the more chances you have to find spontaneous joy.

I spread myself out by going to Bali for my 300-hour YTT. It is far from home and I’m gone for a while.
I am also in a more traditional yoga setting.
I spread myself further and woke up at 2am to do a sunrise hike up an active volcano, Mount Batur, with someone I had just met but who I can now call a close friend.
I fed a monkey!
I felt volcanic steam on my face.
I relaxed in natural hot springs.
I went to a family-owned coffee plantation and chatted with the locals so much that they asked to sit at our table the whole time.
I wasn’t hungry, but decided to join three lovely ladies in my program for lunch, where we sat for hours just chatting.
I got a Balinese massage.

I spread myself very wide yesterday, and the joy I am finding is overflowing.

I hope you can try something new and find a brand new kind of joy this week❤️

Happy International Yoga Day🕉️
“Yoga” is a sanskrit word that means to join or unite. When you are practicing yoga, you unite the body and mind. Beyond that, we unite with like-minded yogis and bring more peace to the world—and that is something to celebrate!
It falls on the summer solstice because it is the longest day of the year and is associated with ideas of light, balance, and renewal.☀️

Grateful as always for the yoga community I am lucky enough to be a part of❤️
