A day late because I’ve been deciding whether or not I should post this. All I can see in this one are the negatives...of my alignment, form, hand and foot placement, my crazy hoodie. But hey, this was how my wheel pose looked last night. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Yoga isn’t all about the perfect picture pose. It’s about meeting yourself where you are 😌

Today I feel for my physical health.
*Trigger warning: Birth story details ahead!*

Right after Thea was born, I suffered from a postpartum hemorrhage. It required two epidurals, a quick wheeling to the OR away from my husband holding our brand new baby, a blood transfusion, and extra days in the hospital. It was scary and I was frustrated when my recovery wasn’t as fast as I had hoped it would be. But I have taken my rest and continue to take it easy—listening to my body and honoring it when it needs movement and when it needs rest. And for that knowledge I am thankful. 💙✨

No matter where you are or are not, you have the chance to make this moment in time & space a great one. While many places are going back into lock down for the holidays, it can be hard not to wish we were somewhere, anywhere else. When that feeling arises, lean into it, and remember to be present & mindful of all the wonderful things about where you are. 🙏

2️⃣ Friend / Standing Balance - Tree pose with prayer hands. My friends keep me grounded, rooted, all the while helping me to grow. 🌲

My first time doing a Yoga Challenge. This one is about gratitude—something I am always trying to cultivate for myself and teach to my children. The first prompt is Family / Forward Fold. I chose a variation of child’s pose with prayer hands. I am grateful for my children and that I get to be their mother. I am also grateful to be daughter to my mother, who provides endless support and love. 💙✨

NEW CHALLENGE!   Nov 17-26

There’s no time like the present to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for...especially this month in celebration of gratitude!

In this challenge we’ll be channeling our creativity to create a pose incorporating 🙏🏻prayer hands🙏🏻 each day, while also sharing about something we’re thankful for from various categories. Join us for 10 days of fun & gratitude ✨!

My New Moon challenge for myself? Teaching my first yoga class in 4 months. I was nervous, so I threw some Warrior 1 in my practice today to release Fear and welcome Confidence. And it felt so good to be back on the mat to lead and practice with my fellow yoginis ✨💙

🌑The new moon is upon us! It’s a perfect night to release things that don’t serve you and welcome new energy for the coming days. ✨ Now take a few seconds or minutes to close your eyes and sit with your thoughts. Lean into those thoughts, emotions, feelings, wherever they may take you. And now release them. What fills that void? Well, you have time to figure that out. 💛

✨Monday Meditation✨
