Community Conscious Yoga & Wellness Center

Definitely one of the more unexpected photographs that's come my way. I was working in a women’s prison and the last person I would have thought to rock a Vashistasana was the Deputy Sheriff. But we got to chatting and she mentioned she was about to complete her teacher training. I was like, hold everything, I ain’t never shot with a Sheriff. And it occurred to me, the world is changing.

“I No Longer Pray For Peace”
By Ann Weems

On the edge of war, one foot already in,

I no longer pray for peace:
I pray for miracles.

I pray that stone hearts will turn
to tenderheartedness,
and evil intentions will turn
to mercifulness,
and all the soldiers already deployed
will be snatched out of harm's way,
and the whole world will be
astounded onto its knees.

I pray that all the "God talk"
will take bones,
and stand up and shed
its cloak of faithlessness,
and walk again in its powerful truth.

I pray that the whole world might
sit down together and share
its bread and its wine.

Some say there is no hope,
but then I've always applauded the holy fools
who never seem to give up on
the scandalousness of our faith:
that we are loved by God......
that we can truly love one another.

I no longer pray for peace:
I pray for miracles.

Living our Yoga means living with an ability to communicate with honor and respect. Open hearted, open minded, open handed.

Love this from my friend Anaya

Yoga Nidra Video 20 Min Find a comfortable position for yourself and take 20 minutes for relaxation.

I sometimes forget
that I was created for Joy.

My mind is too busy.
My Heart is too heavy
for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the Sacred dance of life.

I was created to smile
To Love
To be lifted up
And to lift others up.

O’ Sacred One
Untangle my feet
from all that ensnares.
Free my soul.
That we might
Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious.

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.

This

TO THE WOMAN WHO IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY
To the woman who has lost her spark.
To the woman whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.
This is for you.
This is to remind you whose daughter you are.
This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day.
You didn’t sign up for that.
Remember when you used to laugh? Sing? Throw caution to the wind?
Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.
You can get that back again.
You really can.
And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.
It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.
Being brave enough to stop sometimes.
And rest.
It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be. Some of that is good, some of that is not.
There are parts of you that need to be brought back.
And if anyone in your life is not okay with that… they are not your people. Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.
So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no to things that don’t.
It’s really pretty simple.

Gratitude to the Unknown Artist

Ladies! I am really excited to begin a new * Joyful Journey Workshop* and Yoga series entitled, “Living In The Flowing Grace Of Christ”. My intention is to weave mindfulness, Movement, and meditation together in such a way that we truly feel supported to live in the flow rather than just survive it. With everything we have encountered in the last few years, living and leaning INTO each moment with HOPE is crucial spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, AND energetically. With that in mind, these workshops will incorporate personal an interactive prayer. Non - evangelical ( nor preachy) in nature, ( not my focus or style), ( they are personal & practical), this progressive personal growth workshop series will be once a month on a Sunday and last for 2 hours and limit attendance to 4 yogis in each class, thus I may have 2xs a month. I am also available to extend this series to interested yoga studios for a larger class/workshop series. ( Co-Ed)
$25, 2 hrs.
Let me know of your interest either by messenger or comment section.
💜 🧘‍♀️ 🙏

Excited to start off 2022 with Yoga & First Responders.
