For the past 2 months I have had the honor through @sacredchillwest to be the yoga instructor for the North Atlanta High School Swim Team🏊🏽🏊🏻‍♀️. These four are a small part of a bigger group that makes up the team, but are the four that made it to the state level competition on Friday. Today was our last session together. If I am honest with myself, today was a tough day for me.....like exhausted, just trying to get through the day, thought about quitting kind of tough. Before starting the class one of the athletes said: "I just want you to know that I do that stretch that you taught us (Ardha Hanumunasa aka Runners Hamstring Stretch) every day, like religious". That put this biggest smile on my face and took my emotional and physical gas tank from empty all the way to full. At the end of the class, after "svasana" he was late to sit up. Then he says "wow, like I was really asleep. You put me all the way to sleep." Probably the best compliment you could give a yoga teacher. That gave me just enough to make it through the rest of the day and these last 2 CrossFit classes I have to teach. It's crazy how in the darkest hours God/Universe sends you a glimmer of light💡🕯🔦 to keep you going. The athlete and light in me bows deeply to the athlete and light in you all. Kill it at state on Friday. #namaste🙏🏾 #bowflex #blackboysteachyoga #yoga #yogaeverdamnday #yogaforathletes #sacredathlete #sacredchillwest #SCW #NAHS #mobility #flexibility #stretching (at North Atlanta High School)

Another week another Alignment Action from the #AlignmentJunkies @richard_rhucasey81 and @_carlybrown . This week it's all about firing up the muscles of our lower legs and feet. Toning the #calves, spreading the toes and lifting and strengthening our arches. We will be talking about the Balanced Actions of Muscular and Organic Energy as well as Ankle and Shin Loop.

I am so happy to announce my first ever yoga workshop entitled "Sacred Athlete: Stretch, Smash and Strengthen". Is been years in the making, months and months of studying, development and refinement. It a unique system that combines myofascial release techniques, yoga inspired stretches , and therapeutic strengthening drills to help heal injuries, put you body back into balance as well as refine and prepare your body for peak performance. If you have a body, then you are an athlete. So this is for yogis and athletes alike. And if you are someone who reveres mindfulness as a practice, is detached from results but committed to the process, then you're a "Sacred Athlete" I am so grateful to the mentors/teachers in my life like Gina Minyard who help plant this seed, @octaviaraheem who help water it and @rockyheron who continues to help me prune and refine this offering. Nothing could make me any happier than if you would join me on this journey. "The athlete in me, bows to the athlete in you. #namaste 🙏🏾" (Link for more details and to register is in bio) #bowflex #blackboysteachyoga #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #SacredAthlete #stretchandsmash #strengthen #sacredchillwest #SCW #flexibility #mobility #stretching #lululemon #lululemonmen @lululemonmen #lululemonHoMi #joblove (at Sacred Chill West)

@_carlybrown and I join together to make the #AlignmentJunkies. We have turned the 9:30 am time slot on Mondays and Wednesdays at Sacred Thread Yoga O4W into your weekly meetings where we talk Alignment and Actions. Join us for the next 11 weeks where our classes will be dedicated to breaking down and teaching specific Alignment Principles and/or Key Actions that will help unpack and deepen your understanding of a multitude of poses. Each week will be dedicated to a different principle/action and we will travel week by week from feet through the body all the way to the skull. At the end of the 11 weeks you will have an understanding and an infrastructure on how to align yourself in any yoga pose to help find the fullest expansion and expression of that pose. Join me Mondays at 9:30 am and Carly on Wednesdays at 9:30 am at Sacred Thread O4W. #bowflex #XCessiveGenius #blackboysteachyoga #blackboysdoyoga #yogayogaeverydamnday #STY #sacredthreadyoga #buffandbendy #swoleandflexy #lululemon #lululemonmen @lululemonmen #lululemonHoMi #joblove #thesweatlifeATL (at Sacred Thread Yoga)

"NOW...BEGINS....the exposition of #yoga" ~ Yoga Sutra of Pantajali 1.1 At this time of the year so many people are focusing on new starts, new intentions and new goals. They are deciding on the 1st day of the 1st week of the 1st month of 2017 that NOW is the time to BEGIN. Begin to eat healthy, get back in shape, start practicing yoga, start a budget etc etc. The commitment to BEGIN is commendable, but I am also encouraged that NOW doesn't have to be at the start of a new year, that NOW can be any moment in time that YOU CHOOSE it to be. That NOW can be at the start of a NEW BREATH, and that each moment is an opportunity to be your NOW, your moment to BEGIN or BEGIN AGAIN....and again and again if that what it takes. I want to say thank you to the 13 souls this morning that made my 9:30 am {Slow} Flow class at @sacredthreadyoga O4W their NOW. We worked on The principle of "Set The Doundation" grounding trough our feet, legs and hands, and "Opening to GRACE" aligning and finding length through our spine. We RECONNECTED to the foundational pose #tadasana aka #mountainpose over and over again, so we could RECREATE the actions in other poses and shapes. 2 more opportunities to practice with me this week. I would be honored if you made either of them your NOW moment. Friday 9:30 am "Flow and Be Still" and Saturday 11 am "BEGIN" both at @sacredchillwest #bowflex #blackboysdoyoga #blackboysteachyoga #SCW #STY #sacredchillwest #sacredthreadyoga #yogaeverydamnday #buffandbendy #swoleandflexy #eatclean #traindirty #lululemon #lululemonHoMi #lululemonmen @lululemonmen #joblove (at Sacred Thread Yoga)

Come TURN DOWN with me this morning , before you TURN UP with your family and friends tonight. Today's practice is all about LETTING GO. Let go, of anything you accumulated in 2016 that will no longer contribute or add value to your life in 2017. Let go, and make space for the intentions, possibilities and accomplishments you a believing for in 2017. We will breathe deep, letting go in the EXHALE to make space for the INHALE. We will FLOW a little, lay in STILLNESS a little, LETTING GO of effort being supported by block and bolsters. #bowflex #blackboysdoyoga #blackboysteachyoga #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #sacredchillwest #SCW #lululemon #lululemonmen @lululemonmen #lululemonHoMi #joblove (at Sacred Chill West)
