Let this be a reminder that every day is a new opportunity to change your habits, prioritize your health, build a life that makes you happy, let go of what keeps you back, and believe in yourself.

It’s never too late for a reset.

In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, there are two practices that come to mind:

The practice of Aparigraha is about non-possession and non-greed, specifically letting go of attachment to material things and the craving for more.

The practice of Vairagya is a broader concept of non-attachment or detachment from emotional and mental things, such as desires, expectations, and wished outcomes.

In conjunction with pranayama, or breathing, and daily asanas, or movement, we can begin to see each day as a new opportunity.

“Breath of Joy” is dynamic breathing technique designed to boost your mood and energy, increase oxygenation, and stimulate the nervous system. It is something I love to do first thing in the morning while grounding or as a mid-day pick-me-up to clear stagnant energy.

This breathing technique is a three-part inhale through the nose, synchronized with arm movements, followed by a single, deep exhale through the mouth.

Contraindications: Not recommended for individuals with certain conditions like high blood pressure or eye issues. If you feel dizzy, open your eyes and focus on a fixed point on the ground.

Our November rooftop yoga and mimosas event at Baia did not disappoint! From 80s workout attire to the whole rooftop nailing half moon, it was the picture perfect morning. We focused our intention on clearing our hearts so that more goodness and love may enter for the new season.

Pencil is our next date for December 6th. See you there, yogis!🧘🏻‍♀️

Perfect Sunday morning with these yogis at The Barn at Parker’s Creek. We focused our intention on the following quote and what it meant to each of us individually:

Yoga does not ask you to be more than you are. But it does ask you to be all that you are. ~Bryan Kest

With this saying, we removed all barrier and thoughts about who we should be and pushed ourselves to all that we could be…with our breathing and our movements. Props to all yogis that removed the barrier of “I can’t or I’m scared” and tried crow for the first time!!

And congrats to Ilona Blake for winning the free ticket in our giveaway!

Isn’t it funny how we went from dreaming of becoming professionals with degrees to just wanting to be free, full of life and happy?
