#hospitalyoga #Whyyoga ? 🧘🏽♀️To prepare me for moments like this when a facial skin rash (#cellulitis ) quickly sends me from doc to ER on Monday morning to now day 3 in the hospital. The last few days I’ve been at my most gorgeous looking like the elephant man to a facial gone bad.🤪 . Now that the fever is gone and I’m instructed to move so I don’t get blood clots, I did a little yoga after a stroll down the hallways. And, wow did it feel healing and yummy. I’m so grateful I have yoga deep in my bones, in my muscle memory and my parasympathetic nervous system. A variation of #janusirsasana, #ujjayi breath, and gentle #vinyasa flow instantly transported me to feeling #beautiful, spacious, #grateful, #healthy, and #connected to Spirit. Even hooked up to this IV antibiotic, sporting drab hospital garb, in this sterile room, I accessed my #peaceful #happy place. And, that feels like a #miracle. #Yogaheals , and this little hospital stint reminds me that we can yoga anywhere, without a mat and with limited physical capability. #unstoppable . Mentally, the yoga trained me to shift from attaching to my physical pain to observing. But, wow physical pain is a selfish stage hog. It was hard to shift to the observer. I lashed out some desperate requests to my hubby in the heat of my pain. Gratefully, my inner yogi would rise above the pain.🙏🏽 . About hospital life, I’ve had to make peace with meds pumping into my veins since I rarely take anything except for natural remedies. I’m ready to restore my gut health and immune system after all these antibiotics. It’s not a step backwards, in fact they might have saved my life. It’s another chapter and another story about the testament of the human spirit wanting to live and thrive! Hey, my gluten free lunch was polenta with squash and my almond milk is even organic. Seriously, things could be so much worse!! Taking it one day at a time and making the best of it. 🤗Wow do I miss teaching #yoga this week! I miss you all. Get to your mats, or on your hospital beds, and move and breathe! Namaste 🙏🏽 🧘🏽♀️ . ps watched the documentary “I Am Maris” w @yogamaris filmed at @justbeyoga You MUST watch! Thank you Maris!! 💖#inspiration#tbt Last week I passed a final test to make it official: Tier 3 1200 hr Certified Baptiste Yoga Influencer! 🎉 #YES !!! Beyond cueing yoga poses I impact and influence anyone wanting to discover their purpose in life and provide tools and structures to ignite that purpose. And, all of this starts with my choice to live a purposeful, intentional life. Each of us is linked together in this thing called life...we are all connected. I am here to live my best life and through my example, to influence you to do the same. I don’t NEED a piece of paper to tell me I make an impact in this world AND these 1200hrs of Baptiste Yoga Teacher Training took me through a transformative journey to self I can’t imagine I could have accomplished on my own! From not KNOWING my self-worth when I started this Baptiste yoga path in 2010 to NOW believing WITHOUT A DOUBT what I speak, think, and teach matters, because I matter!! #hellayes 💥 And, after 7 years of immersion in this Baptiste methodology, I’m equipped with mad skills to lead you through your own journey into power, on and off the mat! 🙏🏽💪🏽 💥😍 This certificate belongs to me and to my husband and daughter who cheered me on ALL THE WAY!!

Yoga. 💖🧘🏽♀️ . 915 Sacred Sunday - Baptiste Power Vinyasa @joyadublin 🙏🏽💪🏽🔥 . #weareallconnected #sacredsunday #yoga #vinyasa #whybaptisteyoga #hotyoga #poweryoga #powervinyasa #joyatribe #yogatribe #community #sangha #joyayoga #dublinca #goodmorningInspired by @yogainsideout (who was inspired by @trinaaltman ) I led my students in this crazy, funky sequence! ( #swipeleft for part two of the sequence) Totally not my normal vinyasa and yet it still generated the tapas (heat), required drishti (focused gaze), ujjayi (breath), bandhas (core), and vinyasa (flow). I loved how the focus on keeping the palms pressing in anjali mudra and pinning the block against the inner knee kept the shoulders integrated and the core engaged. The beauty of learning something new, especially if it requires intense focus, is the shift from thinking to sensing, to move out of your head and into your body. One of my students said “At first I just wasn’t having it, I couldn’t do it and everyone else was getting it, then something happened and my body got it!” Through vinyasa we get to practice being in resistance with a struggle to experiencing ease and becoming neutral and non-reactive. We created a space of curiosity, discovery and play. So grateful for these willing and playful yogis! Love our Joya yoga tribe!!! 💪🏽 🤗 🧘🏽♀️ . #yoga #yogasequence #creativity #proprioception #functionalflowyoga #hipmobilitywork #vinyasa #joyayoga #joyatribe #sanramon #eastbayyoga #whybaptisteyoga #sneakystrengthyoga . 🎥 @joya_yoga
