Mourning this space already 🥲

I’ve had to make some changes to my space today so I decided to record my practice for old times sake.

It does make me a bit sad to lose this specific part of my home for my asana practice (the sunlight specifically), but there is so much *potential* for the space I’m creating - and that’s exciting 😌.

Stay grounded, stay present, stay kind.
This is the real practice that will change you from the inside out. It’s a lot harder to exercise when you are in real-life scenarios (where you can get triggered / like Music Festivals!) But that is also the practice - maintaining effort, diligence, and patience in the presence of the people you love is an act of compassion. 👯‍♀️

It’s all about the intention behind the action. 🫶🏼

Music festivals can be a catalyst for growth in many ways:
▫️acceptance of others (and ultimately yourself)
▫️patience (esp. in bigger crowds)
▫️creativity through self expression & movement
▫️curiosity & inquisition
▫️overcoming the fear of being seen or social anxiety
▫️connection to your body through dance
▫️connection to others through play. to name just a few!

What are some ways feels healing to you?

Self Expression👇🏼
▫️ It is SO important to maintain a good flow of energy not just *within* our bodies, but also when it comes to inward & outward energy.

▫️At the root of any imbalance, there is either EXCESS flow or DECREASED flow of energy (blockage).

▫️In Ayurveda, Udana Vayu is a subdosha of Vata (air & ether element - I have earlier videos about this!)

▫️Udana Vayu is responsible for energy moving UP & OUT of the body.

▫️It governs self expression, speech, growth, communication and regulates breathing.

🤍One reason I love music festivals is for the self expression i witness in others and the freedom I feel to express myself too🥹

There’s no magic formula to expressing yourself, but makeup, clothes, jewelry, art and body adornments are things i love to witness and celebrate at music festivals.

Minimalist approach👇🏼
▫️I will admit It may be easier for me to not need anything new because I’ve collected pieces over the years. 👕However, I tend to focus on buying items that will last instead of fast fashion 👌🏼 🌏 ❤️‍🩹 (that’s something *everyone* can do - even if it’s one piece/year)

i’ve been holding off on sharing about my personal health because i don’t want my account to be about that (and for privacy)
.but as i share candidly it feels like i’d be hiding it if i don’t address it.

the reality is that every decision i make is impacted by how it affects my health. i have come to a point where i don’t have to dig myself out if extreme discomfort/imbalance and instead make decisions that allow me to “maintain” my health☺️ 💃

p.s.: when i say “doing everything by the book” i mean MY book. (don’t come at me for the redbull in my previous vid 😆)

the take away here is the last bit.

- it’s no longer a decision based out of fear🫶🏼
. and there’s a Patron bar on the grounds, so I might make a visit today tbh. We’ll see ☺️

this is part of *my* journey..

i’m not saying it’s right for everyone but i’m getting comfortable with identifying & accepting what is right for me in the moment - unapologetically 🥰
