Subbing for Sean 8am tomorrow morning! 🤗 . And “Have a day.” No “Happy Friday!” or “Have an amazing day!” No pressure, no expectations. I started out in a funk this morning and I shifted into simply having a day. Doesn’t have to be good, great or amazing. I’m going to have a day, and that makes me feel better. 😜Variations of Goddess Pose, utkata konasana, are sometimes called Spider Pose...is there a sanskrit name? I don’t know and to me it doesn’t matter. Does it feel good in my body? Does it invite strength, vitality, clarity, calm and connection to self? That’s what matters to me. It’s funny how yogis can sometimes get judgy, criticizing others because something is not “real yoga.” It makes me ask “Is criticism or judgment of others’ practices ‘real yoga’? Is it only yoga if it’s taught in sanskrit? Or if you chant or burn incense? . . I know what works for me and I remind my students that ultimately each one of us is our own inner teacher. If you don’t agree with another’s practice, why not just lift them up by letting them be and you do you? Words I need to hear myself to keep my judginess in check. . . These words by Tara Brach often remind me to practice compassion. This is my intention for you when I teach and for everyone. . . May all beings be free from harm. May all beings be held in loving presence... Filled with loving presence. May all beings touch great and natural peace. May all beings be free. Namaste... . . #yoga #wednesdaywisdom #utkatakonasana #goddesspose #spiderpose #compassion #hipopener #hipstrength #kneestrength #anklestrength #eastbayyoga #vinyasa #yinyoga #yogisofinstagram #fitover50 #inspiration #quoteoftheday #tarabrachDo what makes your soul happy 🙏🏽😎🌊🧘🏽♀️ . . . Except for cheering on my daughter at her national dance competition (she and her studio did AMAZING by the way! 🤗), a week in a concrete jungle is not my cup of tea. 🤷🏽♀️ Every day I made time to read my chick lit book, or meditate, or yoga in the hotel gym, or hit the beach. It’s amazing what some beach time does for my soul...and sanity. . . Feeling out of sorts, lethargic, resentful, or edgy? What will you do to feed your soul today? Treat yourself to self-care...you’re worth it! 🙏🏽💜💜💜 . . . #sacredsunday #yoga #treepose #vrksasana #beachyoga #naturegirl #oceanlover #feedyoursoul #dowhatmakesyoursoulhappy #inspiration #soulshine #positivevibes #self are #crystalcove #littlecoronadelmarEvery sunset is an opportunity to reset . . #socal #sunset #newportbeach #naturerocks #pacificocean #quoteoftheday #positivevibes #yoga #meditation #inspiration #gratitude #lifeisgood“Yoga allows you to find a new kind of freedom that you may not have known even existed.”- B.K.S. Iyengar . #happy4thofjuly #freedom #yoga #handstand #quoteoftheday #bksiyengarGood morning! Check out this paddle boarder! She’s flyin’ by that container ship! So inspired by this woman, to paddle through the waves, with the wind in her hair. I don’t know her yet she made an impact on me. Through her living with vitality I’m inspired to do the same. How do I impact others through my actions and energy? Are you playing big or thinking small? What if you believed what you do and say matters, like really believed it in your bones? I matter. You matter. Just by being our beautiful selves, we matter. #namaste 🙏🏽❤️ . . Friday Journey into Power with me 9:30 and 12:00 @baptisteyogasf 😎😍 . . #tgif #friyay #fridayvibes #yoga #inspiration #positivevibes #paddleboarding #goldengatebridge #sanfrancisco #bysf #baptisteyoga #poweryoga #hotyoga
