It’s Sunday and I’m trying very hard to care about anything other than coffee and getting back into my bed. ————— Lotus Lesson Of The Day: Sometimes it’s about slowing down. To much of anything will throw your equilibrium off. There is great value in rest and moments of empty space. ————— News Flash👀, Yoga Teachers are human and get caught up like everyone else. I’ve been so incredibly busy for the last year honestly. Living by my calendar to remember the most basic of things. I work full-time as a Manager and teach Yoga weekly. I’ve attained additional certifications in both last year and now looking to shift my career to a director level plus kick off my yoga program in 2019. I’m driven, I get it. I’m also encroaching upon feelings of being burnt out. Needless to say, I was gently reminded that things are out of wack and I need to make some adjustments. I need to rest. I need to be replenished. I need to restore balance. ————— All aspects of the 8 limb path help to bring you home to some aspect of yourself. So, this time around, I want to open the window to my world and my practice. I hope you find a jewel or two on the journey to inspire you. —————— #melanatedlotusyoga #lotuslessonoftheday #yoga #yogaoffthemat #8limbsofyoga #divinefeminine #yoga #blackyogateacher #blackyogacommunity #blackwomendoyoga https://www.instagram.com/p/BuRksEkn66j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jiviyvznh427

My Power Is More Prominent Than My Pain

My Power Is More Prominent Than My Pain

“My power and persistence are more prominent than my pain.”

Sometimes we see ourselves and are reminded of all of life’s unkindnesses. Perhaps some of us can’t see any type of existence beyond them at all. In the middle of any painful time, it’s difficult to look beyond that moment and all that it encompasses. No, our trials and tribulations are not easy, and every situation is not within the…

I Am Fiercely My Own

I Am Fiercely My Own

“I am my own.”

Niyyirah Waheed wrote, “I am mine before I am ever anyone else’s.” Sometimes the journey of self-acceptance can come with the need for approval or even a sense of inclusion with those who matter most to us. For a lot of people self-acceptance is based on a broader acceptance from the more prominent tribe. In cases like that, who you are still can become stifled. There is a…

“I accept myself fully and recognize that every part of my journey has been for the benefit of my becoming.”

Self-acceptance is the most liberating feeling that I hope you either have or are working toward. In no way are we perfect or have to be to understand how amazing we are flaws and all. What if we threw off familial and societal ideas about how we should act, look, speak, think, dress or…
