I am hopeful! ππ½β£οΈ When I reflect on stories from our elders, how they survived tragedies, wars and famine, I'm touched, fascinated and inspired. Of course the loss and devastation is tragic...and, reality-check, this is life, as a human on this planet. . β¨ I never met my lolo, my grandfather, in the Philippines, but, I remember stories of him getting trained to vaccinate the townspeople of his village because it was needed. With his 7th grade education, he inoculated for polio, rubella, measles, chickenpox, etc. I never had the privilege of hearing the stories directly from my lolo but, I listened and asked questions from my papa, as he recalled what he remembered as a kid. My lolo saw a need and served his community, his people. That's thinking like a hero, and in his case, a super humble hero. His actions have been passed down to me as my history. And, my actions I choose today will become my legacy. . β¨ What stories do you want to tell our next generations? About how you survived, thrived, contributed and inspired? Will you sew masks? Teach yoga and meditation to soothe anxiety? Deliver groceries to a neighbor? Donate to provide PPEs for our health workers? Create the #covid19 vaccine?! ππ½ . β¨ The actions you choose today will be your children's stories. π€ Wow, thinking about storytelling with my not yet born grandkids about 2020...that's exciting thinking my friends!! β£οΈπ₯° . β¨ Right now, I'm IN that "on the edge of your seat, can't put the book down" bestseller. When I'm close up IN it, the experience can seem big, EXTRA - magnified like in your rearview mirror. When I breathe in deep, then mentally zoom out my perspective with a huge exhale, it's pretty exciting to experience this epic chapter of life, together. β¨ Our actions will become our legacy. Our legacy will become our children's history. . β¨ Dwell in hope my friends. Step into what's possible. Switch on creativity and innovation. Stay at home. Wash your hands. Take action and be part of the solution! The answer to "How?" is YES!! ππ₯ Namaste ππ½ .

Pincha Mayurasana practice with a strap to learn alignment in the shoulders. π . . π₯ My left shoulder keeps getting stronger πͺπΎ and healing ππ½ from a previous car accident. This video is me in my personal practice to train my shoulder girdle and brain to learn true north alignment in pincha. It's been a slow, mindful, disciplined home practice to increase strength and mobility while preventing strain or injury. After a year of not experiencing much improvement in physical therapy I dug deep in what I've learned as a yoga teacher and my body told me what I needed to practice, I just had to listen and commit to do the work. π€ #slowandsteadywinstherace π’ . . π― Will I get back to 100%? Anything is possible and with the progress I've made, I actually expect to be better than before! Because of my injury I've discovered my anatomy and shoulder girdle in a new way. Before the accident I wasn't as keenly aware or curious about shoulders as I am now. From not even being able to do child's pose without excruciating sharp electrical pain to playing in arm balances and inversions today, YES!! Anything is possible! π― π This is a short one minute glimpse of my #homepractice which took me years to make! π€π€ͺπ . #believeinyourself #dothework #pinchamayurasana #forearmbalance #yogastrap #yogavideo #yogatutorial #myyogaminute #yoga #balance #yogaeverydamnday #practiceandalliscoming #yogapracticenotperfect #whybaptisteyoga #fitover55 #shelterinplace #stayathome #covΔ±d19 #yogaforanyone #nevertooold #nevertoolatetolearnππ½ . #mondaymotivation #quoteoftheday #mayaangelou #inspiration #meditation #yogaCreate space for something new...in your practice, in your perspective, in your life! The answer to "how?" is YES! Thanks for sharing your practice, Sarah, flowing to this morning's @baptistepoweryogasf online zoom class with me. π Movement is medicine. Your body is your temple. Shift your mental seeking for what is possible instead of what is wrong or what is missing. ππ½π§πΎββοΈNamaste ππ½ . #yoga #whybaptisteyoga #poweryoga #powervinyasa #movementismedicine #yourbodyisatemple #selfcare #selflove #getonyourmat #yogaeverydamnday #grateful #community #sangha #shelterinplace #covid_19Be intentional in creating your space, inside and out. ππ½πΈ Join me in my home studio this Sunday 930am! Keep reading... π€ . . Look for what's working. See the good. I looked for what was missing in my home studio and I "saw" the desire for color, joy, and beauty on my altar...and, in my life. HOW would I make that happen? Instead of seeing what is missing I reframed to ask "What is possible?" My kitchen is full of orchids and I hadn't tended to them in months. As I watered and pruned I realized they would be a perfect addition to my home studio! It reminded me that I don't have to look far to see beauty and the possibility of joy through being intentional in creating my space. That's my theme for this Sunday's 930am @baptistepoweryogasf LIVE Power Vinyasa online class: Be intentional in creating your space, inside and out. I can't wait to connect with you!!
