🧘‍♀️✨ Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s sacred. ✨🧘‍♂️

As yogis, we often show up for others: holding space, teaching, listening, guiding. But remember, your light shines brightest when your own cup is full.

Here are a few self-care reminders from our team at Awakened Spirit Yoga for your journey:

🌿 Start your day with breath, not a screen
🧂 Nourish your body like it’s your temple (because it is)
🧘‍♀️ Practice just for you, no pressure, no performance
🌙 Rest is not optional; it’s essential
📿 Say no when you need to protect your energy
💛 Lean into stillness. That’s where the wisdom lives.

The more you tend to yourself, the more powerful your offering becomes.

🕯 “Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened.” > Buddha 🕯

This quote reminds us that sharing our light, our energy, our wisdom, our love, doesn’t take away from us. It expands what’s possible for others.

As yogis, we hold space not just on the mat, but in the world. Your light has power. And it only grows when shared. ✨

🌿 In a world that moves fast, finding stillness is an act of self-care.

At Awakened Spirit we know yoga offers more than movement. It’s a moment to ground yourself, to breathe with intention, and to reconnect with your body and mind. Whether it’s five minutes or fifty, showing up for yourself each day creates space for clarity, calm, and presence.

You don’t have to be flexible. You just have to begin. ✨

Prenatal yoga is more than movement; it’s a practice of, listening, softening, and trusting the wisdom of the body.

Through breath, gentle yet strengthening postures, and mindful awareness, prenatal yoga supports:

✨ physical strength & comfort
✨ emotional balance
✨ birth preparation
✨ sacred connection

and so much more..

Gratitude is a practice of awakening—an invitation to soften, to notice, and to be present with the abundance that already exists within and around us. In yoga, this practice is reflected in Santosha (contentment), one of the Niyamas, which teaches us to embrace life as it is, rather than always striving for what’s next. When we move from a place of gratitude, we shift our awareness from what is lacking to what is already here, opening our hearts to the fullness of the present moment.

On the mat, gratitude can be felt in the rhythm of our breath, in the strength of our bodies, and in the quiet moments between movement. Each inhale is a reminder that we are alive, each exhale a gesture of surrender and trust. Through breath, through mindful movement, through the simple act of showing up, we practice gratitude—allowing it to shape the way we move through our practice and our lives.

Off the mat, we can weave gratitude into our daily rituals by honoring the land that supports us, acknowledging the wisdom of our teachers and ancestors, and pausing to appreciate the small, sacred moments—sunlight filtering through the trees, the warmth of a shared meal, the steady beat of our own hearts. When we cultivate this awareness, gratitude becomes a guiding force, a way of being that brings us into deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and the earth.

💭in this moment, what are you grateful for??💭
