First Oakland A’s Yoga Day! Congrats @maliaalicia and friends for organizing a fun event! My love of yoga + my hubby’s love of baseball and the Oakland A’s = dreams come true! #LOL 💚😜🤣🧘🏽♀️⚾️ Thanks @lululemon for the yoga mats! #NamasteAs #yogaday #oaklandathletics #sacredsunday#sundayfundayGetting upside down is fun 🙃😜💖🤸🏾♂️🧘🏽♀️🙏🏽 #tgif #BYSF #yoga #whybaptisteyoga #sanfrancisco #headstand #sirsasana #inversionjunkie #core #strength #balance #ujjayi #breathe #breath #control #drishti #meditation #love #baptisteyoga #practiceandalliscoming #yogisofinstagram #play #light #soulfood #soulshine #fridayfeels @meelsyoga #lululemon @lululemonsfI’ve had a morning full of feels. Everything is making me weep...good news about families and animals saved despite homes burning down, kids struggling going back to school, kids celebrating because they love the teachers they got, witnessing transformation of yoga teachers from Kenya helping others off the streets, off drugs...from a life of despair to a life of hope and possibility. Stories of suffering and joy are tapping my deep well of emotion and I don’t know exactly why I seem extra sensory today but, I’m grateful to feel all the feels. . . Then, I naturally gravitated to writing...in my journal, writing to you, and even on my computer I’ve started chapters of a book! What!! 😱😜 I don’t know where any of this is going but, I’m just allowing the thoughts, hopes, dreams, tears and joys to flow out of me. No judgment, no criticism, no goal or destination, just on the journey. This is my yoga off the mat, to flow in the river of creativity and to move and express in my body as my soul leads me, not in a defined posture, but in the freedom to just be...physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. My breath is easy and my heart is content. In this moment I am free of suffering and I’m grateful. Namaste 🙏🏽 . #yoga #vinyasa #flow #meditation #mindfulness #gratitude #thursdaythoughts #feelallthefeels #keepitreal #creativity #writing #whybaptisteyoga #disruptthedrift #spirituallyfityoga #soulfood #yogateacher #fitover50 #loveyourlife #selflove #empathy #compassion #indigochild #namaste . .
