Join me Sept 21-28 in Orada, Portugal for a yoga retreat of a lifetime! I’m assisting fellow Certified Baptiste Yoga Instructor, Kerry Armstrong in the beautiful hills of Orada, Portugal. Expect a week of morning and evening yoga, hiking, taking a day to explore the lakes and beaches 30 min away, experience essential oils, soulful music, and take time to be still and connect with self. 💖 . 🙏🏽 During our week together you will have the chance to experience European cultures such as exceptional home cooked meals, quiet evenings around the campfire and bright starry night skies. Our venue for the week is a countryside home called, Monte da Orada. Monte da Orada is one of the oldest buildings on documented records to stand in this beautiful region. The name Orada means “prayed for” and legend goes that many people came to this sacred place to rest, heal and recall their positive energy. 🙏🏽 . I’ve known Kerry since I started my @baptisteyoga Level One in 2013 and have taken her workshops during her Bay Area visits. She lives with a beautiful balance of power and peace and her presence is grounding and uplifting. I’m excited to assist her in this retreat and hope you’ll gift yourself this time of adventure and self care. 🙏🏽💖 . For more information and to book your spot visit kerryarmstrongyoga.com.I care more about peace than being right. ✌🏻 ☮️ 🙏🏽 . . #peace #inspiration #tuesdaytruth #choosepeace #quoteoftheday #yoga #meditation #transformation #goodmorning #danville .

Why do I teach vinyasa workshops? Primarily because I don’t want others to get injured, like I did, from unknowingly “doing yoga” out of physical integrity. For the last 6 years I have taught Vinyasa Fundamentals classes because I injured my rotator cuff from almost 10 years of yoga, long before I became a teacher. I loved the flowy vinyasa classes, which I started in gym fitness classes, but I never learned the proper alignment. I got caught up in the fun, high energy music, the awesome sweaty workout, but, I honestly didn’t realize how I was contributing to my torn rotator cuff, mainly from repetitive sloppy alignment in chaturangas. (NOTE: this is not a knock against gym yoga classes! This is just MY experience. I’ve taught yoga in gyms and know AMAZING teachers in gyms. 🙏🏽) . . As a Power Vinyasa instructor, I know firsthand the challenge of limited time to stop within a 60-90 min class to REALLY teach alignment. I speak to alignment when I teach but, it’s not enough time to individually create proper habits or break old habits. So every year I lead and encourage my students to step into a workshop. . I THOUGHT I was an experienced yogi before I took my first Baptiste yoga class in a studio and was blown away when I took my first Intro to Vinyasa workshop. That was over 15 years ago! When I became a yoga teacher I vowed I would do what I can to lead students to get the most of their practice, physically safe and connected to something bigger than themselves. . Never tried a vinyasa class? Feeling lost in group classes? Wondering if you’re creating the intentional physical posture of each pose? Confused about the names of the poses or how to do that Darth Vader breath?? Been doing vinyasa classes forever yet struggling to experience ease? Have an injury and curious if you can modify your practice for YOUR body? . My intention is to lead you into a more easeful and efficient practice to experience vinyasa, to flow with breath. I will observe each one of you and give custom feedback to encourage a safe physical practice to prevent injury through proper alignment. #swipeleft + ⬇️ for more deetsThe time to meditate is when you don’t have time to meditate. - Dr Dean Ornish .
