8-3-1 yoga

8-3-1 essentially means ”I love you”. Throughout my practice and my life I have always tried to keep that idea of ”putting love” into everything I do. I think that it is an important part of life and part of yoga to keep the idea of loving life and loving each other at the forefront of our minds

Woke up walking in the woods this morning. Sunrise and the sounds of animals waking up. Beautiful moments in nature. . . . No one showed for the 6:30 am meditation walk - they missed something truly beautiful. Hope i get more people for the 9 am walk. #831yoga #madisonoutdooryoga #madisonparks #olinturvillepark #butfirstcoffee (at Olin Park)

Grateful for beginnings today. For every journey there is a moment of the first step - the first moment you started to believe in something, in yourself. Grateful for those little moments that led to something great. . . This photo is from my first day of teacher training. . . . #gratitudebfy #grateful #831yoga #greatbeginnings (at Bliss Flow Yoga)

Grateful for my yoga practice today. It may not be perfect and I may not succeed every day getting to my mat. I've started the process, though, of self discovery of which there is no turning back. And for that I am eternally grateful. #gratitudebfy #831yoga #gratitudeeverydamnday (at Bliss Flow Yoga)

Finding gratitude everyday. Each of these objects at my desk represent three very good friends who have lifted my spirits just by being in the world. So grateful for these people and countless others that brighten this dark world. #gratitudebfy #831yoga #gratitudeforothers #gratitudeeverydamnday
