Some days be like 🤪 Namely wacky Wednesdays each week for me 😅

I recently watched Insideout 2 and realized it’s best to acknowledge and safely express each emotion. I know, rocket science. But it takes saying it and practicing it more than once to really feel its benefits. 💙

What emotion are you feeling today? 🤪

🤸‍♀️ did you know…

I’ve taught preschool and team gymnastics for over 15 years? And funny how teaching something can teach you so much more about the sport you grew doing.

Teaching, let alone teaching little ones who are learning to speak, helped me learn a template of communicating what it is my body feels and how to best communicate it to others who have possibly never felt it in theirs!

It’s how I was able to start teaching yoga and aerial yoga so quickly and have fun doing it!

As I entered the world of yoga as a student, I learned we are always students in any discipline. “Expert” means an experienced person; one instructed by experience.

No matter how long you’ve done something, never forget your student mindset. 💙 It is the only way we grew before and can continue to grow. 🌱

🙃 from gymnastics instructor to kids aerial instructor was a whole new world of teaching kiddos! 🤗 all still very fun…but in the air versus on the ground means gravity has a higher chance of winning if not careful.

I can’t wait for the day I get to resume teaching this flowing yet puzzling acrobatic experience to kids who want and need more movement in their life! 🥳

Though short, thank you for having me on as one of your lead kids’ aerial teachers 💙 should things shift in my future, you’ll be the first place I call home to this art of teaching! 🤗 Thank you!

🤠 when in Texas, wear a hat 👒

…even during heated vinyasa power yoga 😎🥵 joking haha I love heated yoga but WOOO! When you step outside of heated yoga into weather that is hotter than the room. That’s something to contemplate 🤓

Nonetheless, it’s been a sheer joy to experience the first few weeks of life in central Texas this year. And I look forward to the adventure and wonderful people I get to meet 🤗

Pincha variation 🙃

unpopular opinion in the teacher community: your arms do not need to be parallel, nor do your hands need to be on the floor. Pressing into the forearm by the wrist will keep you balanced more than any hand placement in pincha.

🐦 bird of Paradise standing versus inverted 🐦

This is a posture I have consistently been challenged with ever since I started yoga nine years ago!

💪 Side plank

Lift your hips above your shoulder height to protect your shiulder joint. If you cannot yet, then place your top foot in front of the bottom to find that extension.
Use your top arm as if someone is pulling it up to the sky. 🌌

Yoga isn’t easy. And it’s also not hard. Each posture takes you through what life is like. You have highs and lows. And the breath weaves these all together.

This can be similar to many forms of exercise, however, there is a lot more to yoga than the postures/asanas. One is the limb of the niyamas - the 5 personal practices in one’s life.

1. Saucha: Purity or cleanliness.
2. Santosha: Contentment.
3. Tapas: Self-discipline or “burning enthusiasm.”
4. Svadhyaya: Self-study and self-reflection.
5. Ishvara pranidhana: Contemplation of or surrender to a higher power.
