The devil beckoning me. Zoom in.
The fear. The anxiety. The discomfort.
I embrace it all because of it leads me to the other side of 🌱

Here are a few facts about me that not many people know.

😊 I never quit on anything
🚫 You will never hear me say "I can't " I will always give my 💯 to any given situation. I focus on my effort, not the end result.
📚 My soul food
🍽 I love to try all kinds of cuisines as long as there are colors in them (my kind 🙃 🫐🍆🌶🫑🥦🍄🍊🍍🍉)
👫Met and married by husband in a week. He was born and raised in the US. Me, India. Celebrating our 25th next month. (Almost killed each other in the first three years 😳 🤣) And, adjusted in two different cultures than my own upbringing.
🤓I never went to college like "normal people". Started working full-time at 18. And, eventually accomplished my goal of getting a college degree 👩‍🎓when I was raising a 2yr old and pregnant with the 2nd one, and with 4.0 GPA
🤸‍♀️Favorite yoga pose is and not for the obvious reason (it is challenging and people think it is fu***ng badass) but because, it is meditative for me. I actually close my eyes in this pose, weird huh 🤔 😅
💅🚴‍♀️I am a certified nail technician and spinning instructor
🍷 I have completed wine course. Never graduated..story for another time 😉
😌I take risks, adapt and change to any life situation without much resistance. Grew up in a strictly conservative family, on my own at 18 in the scary world of struggling to keep a roof over my head, learned trade skills at my work to grow in the industry with an open mind and zero ego (had some amazing mentors), met and married a stranger in a week, found my way in a completely different culture, tried all kinds of careers, lost 100lbs with sheer hard work, found my footing amidst husband's job loss humbly embracing food stamps, moved across states undertaking a huge uncertainty of husband's new job opportunity, changing lifestyle habits to navigate perimenopause, and now leading a yoga retreat in beautiful Costa Rica with some amazing humans. There will be many more adventures in the future which is very exciting to me.
Life is an adventure. Be bold. Embrace change. Keep growing and evolving. Sky is the limit.

Practice doesn't need to be an elaborate hour long practice.
First, we have to understand why we practice.
From my personal experience, this is what I have understood
✨️to keep the spine flexible
✨️to enhance lung elasticity with proper breathing during the entire practice. This is a big component of practice that gets ignored and/or neglected because practioner is usually too caught up in nailing a pose. Unfortunately, it is the teacher's job to pace the class in a way to teach and allow students to actually pay attention and refine their breath during transitions and during the holds.
✨️understanding proper alignment to ensure the energy that we are generating through our breath is actually moving throughout the body seamlessly.
✨️staying in a pose for a few cycles of breath to observe the complete cohesion of mind, body, breath as one unit, aka

🧘‍♀️Some days, I have extra time and I follow a certain direction for my practice

🧘‍♀️Some days, I have limited time and I know what feels like home- rope (hanging ) (⚠️please learn from an experienced teacher)

🧘‍♀️Some days, I follow a simple sequence like this which gives me all the benefits (shown above) in less than 30 minutes.
(downward facing dog)
(upward facing dog)
(headstand)
(chair supported backbend)
Chair twist
(chair supported plow)

⚠️Without mindful presence, intention and sense of direction, all practice is futile.⚠️

The steps to a successful practice
🙏Intention and benefit (why am I doing a certain pose and what are the benefits)
🙏Alignment (making sure all channels are open to receive the or )
🙏Holding the pose and becoming still for a few slow cycles of breath.
🙏Breath awareness and slowing down the breath to calm the nervous system.
🙏Detached observation

These steps when done with mindful presence will culminate in or union of all that is ✨️🧘‍♀️🙏

The only ingredients needed for a practice 🙏
✨️comfortable clothing- no need for fancy yoga clothing. Anything in which you can move comfortably is sufficient.
✨️ - why am I doing a certain pose? What am supposed to receive from a certain
Be curious. Be inquisitive. Reap the benefits of your time and effort by exploring the benefits of what you are practicing.
✨️ - be fully present. Feel the breath, feel the body, feel the energy move in the amazing temple called the human body. Only when you are fully present, you are doing . Everything else is external bu****it. Yoga is the union of mind and body and breath is the gateway.

In my previous post, I mentioned how as I became quieter, I was able to listen more...to the subtle messages of my body.

Our bodies are always speaking to us. First the messages are subtle. But, the outside noise is too loud and we can't hear anything. Then the messages become louder but we still can't hear. The outside world and all its noise in the form of shoulds and coulds, constant comparisons, fear of judgments or ostracism, and chasing accomplishments or aesthetics to fill a deeper void prevents us from tuning into our inner worlds. No wonder, no outside fix can ever fill the void within. The next best thing is new only for a while until its charm fades off and we are on to chasing something else to continue to feel desirable or successful or accomplished..aka chasing temporary satisfaction to get a false sense of safely and security and worthiness.

Hate to break it to you..if you want forever peace, it is within you, within reach, at all times. You just need to become still. Become still, stop all movement.
I like to use the analogy of horses, reins and a charioteer.
Our mind is the 🐎. Without reins, they have no sense of direction and everything is chaotic. You are the charioteer. When the reins are held, horses behave. Similarly, our mind needs something to hold on to.

Breath.

Focus on the breath while sitting still and notice how the mind behaves itself, becomes quiet and suddenly, you have no chaos. Everything is peaceful. You feel your body from the inside and feel it's aliveness from within. You tune into your body's energetic systems. What a miracle to experience that 💫
Sustain this practice frequently throughout the day and notice the ripple effect in all areas of your life and your relationships.
Our body needs our attention. It is not a machine that is being abused day in and day out to fulfil all our egoistic desires and goals. It will do everything we want but only if nurtured and given the right dose of "quality" sleep, "quality" nutrition, "quality" hydration, sunlight, "quality" movement, and mindful presence.
✨️Become still and notice the wonders of your amazing body. Love it, speak kindly to it, and take care of it ✨️

It is all about
Stagnation is the root cause of all disease.

I was a detox fanatic. I have tried all kinds of detoxes and diets. But, as I learned to become quieter, I have been able to listen to my body and all its subtle messages.
This is what I know now. Everything is energy aka
I am part of nature and everything that sustains life on Earth is what sustains me and my body.
Our bodies have five kinds of energies or as per the yoga scriptures
These energies are responsible for moving our blood, lymph, food, nutrients, oxygen, water, urine and faeces
When these energies don't move due to poor breathing, poor diet, lack of movement, lack of hydration, we end up with chronic health issues.
When was the last time you took intentional deep breaths?
To be healthy and full of vitality, we need to ensure we spend sometime each day taking mindful deep breaths, eat plenty of fiber to mop up toxins and bulk up the stool to ensure the bad stuff leaves the body and to hydrate well so our cells are saturated and things keep moving inside our bodies.
This is not a fad. Our health literally depends on it.

It is our responsibility to take care of our hardworking, amazing, and miraculous bodies ❤️

I used to run. Not a lot. It was just a phase when I had lost my weight and I was surrounded by high achieving athletes who have accomplished competitions.
Very quickly, I learned it was not for me. My ego was shattered.
Thankfully, I had a meditation practice that helped me recover quickly and choose yoga instead.

As an ardent practitioner and a teacher and practitioner, I learned the connection of the nervous system and the breath with the body.

Our muscles can either contract or lengthen. When we run, lift weights, bike, or play sports, our muscles contract. When muscles contract, our heart rate goes up to keep up with the physical demand. When we stretch the muscles, our nervous system NEEDS to relax (breath slowing down, temples relaxing, throat relaxing, jaw relaxing). When we become mindful of this, our muscles begin to relax which can be anywhere between 30 secs to one minute and sometimes longer for some individuals who are not in tune with their inner mechanisms.
Now, here is the dilemma. What I have understood is that our bodies are designed to run only for two reasons- catch food or run from predator.
All the pounding on the pavement or treadmills are not for everyday. Of course, one can do marathons or ironmans but there is a specific training protocol which lasts for a certain amount of time. I see people (all age groups) running for stretches of time thinking it is a cardiovascular workout. Unfortunately, it puts a lot of stress on our joints, heart and small ligaments and raises our heart rate into an unhealthy range where our cortisol rises and stays elevated for that amount of time, sometimes even hours after. For younger people, they are resilient and bounce back fast. Older people, a whole different ballgame. When we lose our hormones, we already struggle with stress and when we elevate our heart rate into the bad range, it increases our cortisol and increases the visceral fat. We do better with sprints for short time with full recovery or low heart rate long walks.
We need cortisol. This hormone helps us to navigate through the daily life processes. Too much cortisol, bad news for mind and body 😕

has saved me, literally.
In 2010, I was spiraling out of control with severe and (hyperventilating). I needed help, bad. A voice in my head said, meditate. I listened.
That was the beginning of my journey but the seeds were planted when I picked up books on the lives of , and Lord in my tender years.
, , , all came much later, as I learned to to the flow of life and stay open.
Meditation is not some hokey pokey thing. In my years of sitting practice, this is what I have learned
🧘‍♀️ the practice helps us to observe our thoughts instead of "becoming" our thoughts
🧘‍♀️the practice helps us understand the root of our suffering aka, our thoughts on repeat that become that we allow to run our lives
🧘‍♀️the practice helps us to recognize the space between a thought and an
🧘‍♀️the practice helps us to become self-aware by recognizing our
🧘‍♀️the practice even helps us to see the bigger picture of life, our , our oneness with our planet and all its inhabitants
🧘‍♀️the practice teaches us compassion towards self and others releasing judgements because when we understand ourselves, we understand others
🧘‍♀️the practice teaches us to love ourselves, unconditionally, and that love emanates, radiates and pours out from our deepest core out into the world to help others stuck in the darkness
🧘‍♀️the practice teaches us to forgive our ancestors for they did their best from their place of knowing and ignorance

For all these reasons and more, it is a non-negotiable daily practice ✨️
I also like to read in the morning with my cup of ☕️ I do not pick up my phone for at least two hours after I wake up. I am very particular about how I start my day to be present and grounded before I open myself up to the world. And, I like to sit on the floor during these rituals to keep my hips supple. And, it just feels organic and natural. Even my husband sits on the floor with me when we enjoy our coffee ritual.
Side note, reading helps to strengthen neural pathways to keep sharp cognition, focus and memory 📚

Sometimes a probiotic drink becomes a Friday night drink. It doesn't have to be an alcoholic beverage just because it is Friday.
This is another big change that has happened as I am getting older. People who know me know that I am a wine . I have actually taken the wine Sommelier course only because I wanted to explore my wine passion.
But, sometimes, I swap my weekend wine with a
and probiotic drink and I am ok with that.
Flow of life.
