Babies know how to be present. 👶🏼 Very present. As I work not only on being the Momma I envision for Emma, my website is also almost wrapped up. Blogs, my retreats and next classes will all be available by September. Here’s an article I wrote for @the.art.of.education @rachelscottyoga website, a practice I use when I recognize I’m stressed, or worrying about past or future possibilities. We all do it. What we choose to do ABOUT it once we recognize it, is up to us. https://www.rachelyoga.com/2018/07/filling-up-your-energy-four-tips-to-slow-down/ Link can also be found in my bio. #yogalife #howslowcanyougo #babies #girltime #inspired (at Squamish, British Columbia)

This isn’t my postpartum body, it’s just my body. ☝️ Before Emma, I had no idea how powerful childbirth was. To watch myself shape shift, labour and birth an entire other body, and rebound back to me has been incredible. By far the most challenging physical feat I’ve accomplished thus far, labour was a tidal wave that took me with it. Everyday our bodies are supporting us, and yet we often mistreat ourselves with judgement, agendas or abuse. I couldn’t have experiences like I’ve had without making my way to the mat through all my struggles to reconnect yet again and again. Hello old friend, my how you amaze me. Here’s a little dance for any breastfeeding mommas who need to keep it real ✌🏿 #yoginis #yogainspiration #whileyouweresleeping #stayinspired #bodypositive #lovequotes #newborn (at Squamish, British Columbia)

Anybody else doing yoga inside today? Just over six months, baby is a welcome addition to the flow. Be not fooled, some days prenatal yoga looks a lot like a nap. Still feeling great, and baby loves to boogie. 👶🏼👌🏻❤️ #twosacrowd #babybump #getyourgrooveon #play #yogalife

I can only credit my grown as a teacher, to the growth I’ve made as a student. I make mistakes, I lose faith, I repeat old stories to myself, BUT I catch myself more these days and return to the wonders life has for us. Often it requires slowing down enough to notice them. If you’re needing that reminder, join me April 29th on Bowen Island for my last retreat before baby. “Embody” is an opportunity for you to return to your sense of wonder. 🙏🙏🙏 Link in bio: #beekeeper #ilovecutethings #springhassprung #yogainspirations #lover (at Squamish, British Columbia)

And just like that, Full moon Easter weekend is over. 🌝😳 Had to use a little of my blue steel energy (picture #2) to smooth out the rough patches and return to trust and faith in the eye of change (picture #1). Think my crop top days are on hold while I watch this moon belly grow. So amazing. 😍 #beyoncebelly #ridethewaves #rockyourcurves #yogalife (at Squamish, British Columbia)

I love rainbows 🌈 but not like most girls 😋 I love rainbows because they remind me of my partner, and a story he told me when we first met. Of a small patch of colour on his grass that he went over to inspect and admire, a prism or reflection of light he just happened to catch. And that’s how I think of him. Catch your moments, whenever they show up to dazzle you. #drivingfauxpas #dazzled #lovequotes #seatosky #colourmehappy

My pooch. So subtle.... I think she wants to definitely be packed for vacation. 🌞 The keepers of the Home, of rhythms and sometimes consistency. She’s getting a bit clingy lately, hard not to miss your best friend even on vacation. 🏖 🌊

You might not grasp this image right away, but it’s my partner digging me a path home at 11:30 pm last night. @jovesque I just read in my Women of Vision National Geographic Photographers on Assignment (great book) that fiery passion fades as couples develop lasting bonds. I believe what you get from a relationship is a result of what both people put into it. And those things keep changing. All I know is fiery passion shows up without plan, but watching your partner freeze his butt off for you is pretty special too. 💋 Apologies to all the yoga students I couldn’t get to today. #lovequotes #stayhumble #yogainspiration #truthtalk #yogaphotography (at Squamish, British Columbia)

Feed yourself! And don’t apologize for it. Food is still wrapped in myth, guilt, perfection scams, diet tips and plain bad habits. Don’t let one of the pleasures of life, AND the fuel that literally makes up your body stay in the closet. Almost everyone I know has or has had eating dilemmas. Reach for a healthier relationship by finding a mentor or surrounding yourself with healthy eaters. My favourite foodies love food, variety, health, and a heck of a lot of sauces!!! #dinnertime #stayinspired #feedyoursoul #loveyourself #gratefulforoptions

Our winter napping has begun! I use to fight with myself often about how much I did or didn’t get done in a day. Ever witness your thoughts and realize you aren’t exactly supporting what you DO accomplish? My latest yoga edge is leaning into TRUST and ABUNDANCE. Plenty of time to get things right, limitless choices, love and energy flow through me when I relax. This means I’m free to aim high or lay low any given day of the week. #freeyourself #yogawisdom #stayinspired #yyogalove #bestfriend #dogwisdom

HELLO SUNSHINE!! My eyes 👀 and heart are so happy to see this lighting on my way to teach. Honour the little ways your day is uplifted. #stayinspired #sunworshiper #blueisblue #beautifulbc

The difference between a good day and a bad day, is you. 🤗 This is my first attempt at being cute after 2 days of Kleenex duty, with a pounding head, and a leaky faucet of a nose. Let’s just say I’m not the best sick person, when I crave pizza and can’t have it. 😢 What I DID do was yield to my body, speak gratefully to the boyfriend, and vow to create greatness when I was well. Reach for the highest place to put your mind, even on your lowest days. 🙏🏼 #yogitruths #stayinspired #risingsage #feelingmyself #stillkindasick #highervibes
