I went skydiving today! Just kidding. This is as close as I'll ever let it get 😜 Took a class at @the_aviary_mpls with all the friends, had all the fun and did all the sweet moves. Sunday Funday for fitness junkies 💪🏼👊🏼💥 (at The Aviary Aerial Fitness)

I ❤️ Saturdays. Do something? Great. Do nothing? Great. Do a little bit of everything? Great. (at Minneapolis, Minnesota)

"Something my mat has taught me clearly is STAYING. Even when (especially when!) I'm working through something or when I'm annoyed, just staying in my body, with my breath, has been the place of great breakthroughs. Just before those moments of staying I was annoyed as hell. Inquiry tells me to WHY, asking the question then staying quietly and listening to the answer. Why am I mad, sad, annoyed and impatient? Answering the question is often remarkably freeing." - Unknown. I'm falling back in love with yoga. I'm finding ease instead of resistance. My mat calls and I'm answering. I'm allowing myself to stay. To cry. To breathe. To feel. I turned it off. I realized. I feared what my mat had to say. Morning yoga, guys, never been my jam. But today, today I stayed for 20 minutes (and oil pulled!), and it was indeed freeing. I'm not free from sadness, anger, frustration or the feeling of being completely lost. Not entirely. I'm just beginning that journey again. It's funny the cycles you go through. It's like life and death happen over and over again. It's like I'm a freaking cat (I wish 😜!) (at Minneapolis, Minnesota)

When yoga at @thefirmmpls kicked your butt over lunch and @werowmsp turned your legs into jelly, you sit in your car waiting for the feeling to come back, admiring how all of the @prana gear always coordinates despite a plan. At the end of the day, no matter how shitty the day, if I can move my body and feel my heart beat...life is good. Really fucking good. #grateful #exhausted #happy #blessed (at weRow)

Lately I've been going to yoga. And I've been closing my eyes while I move. It requires further communication with my insides. It's hard. I hate the feeling of the quiver but appreciate the calm that comes when I've pushed past that edge and found new space. It's phase after phase, and today is just a small piece of the big whole. It was hard to love myself today, but there's a fraction of a chance it'll be easier tomorrow. My Monday Mantra is what I should ask myself and better yet what I should answer myself. "But how can you love a person who is not whole?" "Because you, like the moon, are not only beautiful when you're full. In all of your phases and fractions and ivory white pieces, I love you." - @beautaplin (at Minneapolis, Minnesota)

Sunny Saturday's 😊❤️ (at Saint Louis Park, Minnesota)

#tbt to endless hours spent upside down in a teeny, tiny, barely-big-enough for a yoga mat space creating shapes. The only thing that's remained the same is Coach Lex, silently giving me cues while he kicks back and enjoys the show 😜

When in doubt, stretch it out. Found a new way to assist my back bends and make a valiant effort to lessen the distance between foot and head. #yogigoals

Throwback to summer sunsets that lure you from your bike ride home and pull you towards strangers gathering by the water to press pause and breathe this in. #tbt (at Cedar Lake Beach)

#tbt to when this dude was my age. Whoa, right? It's hard to imagine parents before they were parents. Daddy's little girl, in looks and in heart. As each year passes, it becomes easier to peek back at what once was. My insides don't tie themselves up in knots and my mind allows the faint but fond memories to sneak by the anger, panic and grief that once took up the bottomless pit of space between me and him. Three years later feels like forever and a day, and at the same time it feels like yesterday. Pretty cool how that works. I'm thankful for time. And thankful for random photo albums of this fucking face. Cheers to you, JD. Love you, see you, bye. #RIP #dearolddad
