Who said yoga is full of complex poses? In our practice, a smile is the simplest pose you can pull yet often the most inspiring 💛

Reminder that resting is just as important as doing the work. It’s not only okay to take breaks, but necessary!

Have a lovely weekend Yogis! 🙏🧘‍♂️

Overthinking? Write it down! This not only brings calm but helps give you a clear path on what steps you need to take to make things better.

Happy new month yogis, may we get that much closer to smashing our life goals…together! 🙏

One of the best parts about being a yoga teacher isn’t just giving out the instructions, but doing the poses with the class to show them that we’re in this together and yoga really is unity! ♥️

Teachers, what’s your favorite thing about teaching?

Meditation is not about stopping your thoughts from happening, it’s about observing them without conflict and learning from them. Seeing what role they play in your life and whether you feel like they are helping you move forward or holding you back.

Meditation is not fighting who you are, but bringing a light of awareness to it that allows you to acknowledge, accept and take the necessary action 🙏

What does meditation mean to you? We’d love to hear your thoughts 🤗

Movement is a form of mental health because when we move our bodies, we also move emotions through our bodies allowing them to be released as opposed to being stuck.

A lot of common phrases even show us how emotions are tied to the body eg When feeling a lot of pressure, we say “I’ve got a lot of weight on my shoulders”.

Feeling stuck? Move! Stressed? Move? Anxious? Move…whatever the difficult emotion…just move! 🙏

Some days, wellness is doing a workout that gets the blood pumping…some days, wellness is lying down and taking rest.

Wellness will look different on different days but the most important thing is that we always keep wellness in our day to day. 💯

What small or big acts of personal wellness do you engage in everyday?

14/07/2025

We have BIG dreams of changing the world with the wellness of yoga but we also know it takes small steps to get there.

Here’s to changing the world, one asana at a time 🙏✨

What if we not only work on the challenges that are facing humanity now, but we empower the next generation(s) to be better at preventing those challenges? 🤔

Empowered children become inspiring adults! ♥️

Here’s how to get into Warrior II pose aka Virabhadrasana 2 :

🔴 While facing the long side of your mat, stretch your arms straight out from your shoulders and make your feet parallel to each other in a wide stance. You want your ankles to be approximately beneath your wrists.

🔴 Make your right foot and knee turn to face the front of your mat.

🔴Then place your left toes in an angle slightly inwards toward the upper left corner of the mat.

🔴Next, bend the right knee and stack it over your right ankle.

🔴Balance out your weight evenly between both your legs. Press down through the outer edge of your back foot.
Keep your shoulders over your hips.

🔴 Reach strongly through both arms toward the front and back of the mat and turn your head to look past your right fingertips.

🔴 Hold it here for about 5–10 breaths.

🔴To come out of the pose, exhale as you press down through your feet, then inhale and straighten your legs.

🔴Repeat on the other side.
