ATTENTIVE HEART

Journey On And Off The Mat

[attentiveheart]

This pose is just fun..it's.just a pose for me not an asana where it has something to teach me internally or spiritually. Let's not confuse fancy poses with a yoga practice taught or practiced with truth and authenticity and with a deep desire to grow. You can still learn yoga poses but it's how you practice, it's who you practice with, and who is your teacher that will help you embark and stay on a path of learning, practicing and embodying the roots of yoga. Ask questions, listen to your body, listen to yourself and stay curious. Be your own guru, be your own best teacher✌#nogurus#criticalthinking #youareyourownbestteacher

After 30 something 😉 years of my life I am starting to understand and feel more at peace with my personality traits. We don't have to change and be like someone else. Even if we admire that person we will never be like them. We can only hope to learn the most from those people and incorporate them into our life's but we should never argue with our deep core essence. I am adventure, I am movement, I am music, I am learning, I am silly, I am sensitive. And I am ...... fill in the blank...... #selfrespect#selflove (at San Clemente, California)

New Moon. New intentions or re-ignite your intetnions. I have had to shed commitments, activities jobs either because my body is speaking to me and it can't do it, and others. because it doesn't line up with my values. It is difficult to remember what is it that we truly want and what we stand for when the world ouside is telling us that more is better, that we need to be as successful as this or that when in reality we don't even know if that is exactly what we want. So in this new moon I remember and reignite my intention to always stay true to my highest value which is to honor and be of service to whoever is present in front of me. Be of service either in the form of a yoga teacher, or as Spanish teacher, a friend, a colleage, it doesn't matter. What is your intention for the New Moon? #newmoon #sageburning#istinklikesage

#tbt Colombia 2014 when I went to meet with dad after 6 years of not seeing him. I miss it and him so much. Who or what do you miss right now? Feeling nostalgic😌 but happy. (at Colombia)

I just came back from taking one of the most physically and mentally intense breathing practice. My body felt cold, my eye lids twitched and I almost passed out. These are all normal with the #wimhofmethod of breathing. I'm exploring this.method because of its reducing inflammation and strengthening the immune system. I'm super stoked to learn all about it. #breathe #breathingpractice

Relaxing Wednesday morning! Time to clear energies and be.gratefull for everything I have right now. What are.you grateful for today? Take stock of all the good in your life. Namaste. #rituals #gratitude

🌔"Let go". Ya heard that before? Specially in a yoga class right? Letting go is not an action. It is a process. Through awareness we notice, observe feelings, thoughts, etc.that are not for the highest good. But we have to cultivate compassion as those things come up, then we can forgive and finally we can slowly begin to let go. On this #fullmoon instead of thinking of letting go, can you reflect.on what part.of yourself or who can you forgive? Start there, and see.what happens next🌔 #letgo#moon#womensmoonlodge

When women weave their spirits together forming sisterhood and sharing stories, skills or plainly being there for each other we reawaken and remember the power and grace that is within us. #women#grace#sisterhood. Tag your soul sisters to remind them of the deep connection you share with them. (at Montezuma, Costa Rica)

My favorite quote of the week: "be a classy woman with a little bit of hood and a whole lot of universe." Say yes if that's you!!!!😎❤😎 #woman#be

[attentiveheart]

Being soft, feminine and vulnerable is not how I have always been. Even though I grew up surrounded by women I seemed to reject.showing the divine feminine side like nurturing and caring. I thought those "girly" qualities made me weak and that being more of a tomboy, powerful and independent made me strong. I have shed some hard walls and opened my heart as I've learned that to honor fully the gifts that come with being a woman are not weaknesses. Crying is not a weakness, being soft or being a "girl" is not a weakness. Being vulnerable and shwoing pain and emotions is in fact powerful and shows the deep and strong connection we feel towards the people and the world around us. I can say now I love all that comes with being a woman. #yoga#divinefeminine
