In a #Bind and need a #Valentine? Hit me up! My heart is abundantly overflowing with the love, strength, courage, and wisdom to all who share this path #healingthroughyoga. ❤️❤️❤️ Any journey can feel isolating, until we share an honest exchange of a truthful present moment. Some days, there are aspects of advanced practice that feel like they will never return. Binds are not a daily thing, but rather a depth that is appropriate for my body THAT day, that moment. We listen to our bodies, minds, and spirits and share in the advancement of our own perception. ❤️❤️❤️ Accepting the reality of my “new normal” helps to calm and ease the path before me. This soothes my soul on tough days and challenges me on good ones. ❤️❤️❤️ #Yoga becomes a path we all share, through time, generations, teachers, and students, we grow to find what matters most... So for this special day, I wish you most of all #Love topped with #joy #peace #ease #goodhealth #happiness and a hearty dose of #Namaste!! ❤️❤️❤️ @goodearthyoga Wearing: @aloyoga @petermillar @eccoshoes @tag https://www.instagram.com/p/B8jjwHVHNp8/?igshid=du8jqilj9jqa

It may be snowing outside, but the cast of @matildathemusical at the #worldclass #professional @actorsequity @penobscottheatrecompany is hot Hot HOT!!! 🎭🎭🎭 Rehearsal is a lot like practicing on your yoga mat. As an #actor #director #singer #dancer #writer #producer and MOST importantly a #YOGI, I am all too sensitive to the creative process both in yoga class and throughout the theatrical creative process. I would not be here #healingthroughyoga without the support of the incomparable @funnyshaffer and what joy there is in the discovery!! 🎭🎭🎭 Few things in life are as exciting as putting up a show. Hundreds of performers, artistic staff, administrators, volunteers, carpenters, audience members, families, local businesses, board members, technicians, producers, artisans, and media professionals all come together for a single purpose: to share the creativity of #art that brings the human spirit together. From the time we gathered around a fire as cavemen, women, children, and persons, stories give us so much more than mere entertainment. They enlighten, inspire, and yes bond through the joy of stories that inspire us to be better human beings... Just. Like. Yoga. 🎭🎭🎭 And when all is said and done, costumes stitched, sets constructed, tickets sold, lighting set and the stage is a glow, it is...LIVE! No going back. No starting over, just the pure energy and wave to ride, in the purity of the present moment. 🎭🎭🎭 It inspires me to push past the challenges in my life, because it is so much bigger than me. It is a part of thousands of years of history (there we go with that parallel of yoga) where live theatre is just as important as it ever was, especially with the exceptional and inspiring talent here today. 🎭🎭🎭 If you can make it or not to Maine, go see a show you love. Let the joy flow through you and see deeper into the meaning of the present, and #Lotus allow these rare gifts to continue inspiring our generations to come!! 🎭🎭🎭 Namaste yogis and stay warm out there!!

Much like the lot behind me, we are constantly under construction... Sometimes be build from where we are, other times repairs require demolition and starting over with a new foundation. Chances are, we will experience BOTH extremes, and everywhere in between throughout life’s journey. So what perspective will you bring when met with adversity... Resentment, blame, and anger? Acceptance, patience, and kindness? Perhaps both? My point is that we have a choice when #healingthroughyoga to use it as a blessing. Slow down and enjoy life. Unplug long enough to appreciate the choice you have to plug in when it serves your path. I love plugging into group yoga classes. No matter taking or teaching, talking or transforming, each moment I have to practice yoga is sacred. For it puts me in touch with a side of myself that feels good, no matter the bad that may come my way. One way or another, it will all be okay!! Namaste my friends and have a beautiful day!! . . .

In the absence of hope, there is still hope out there. Hope is just waiting for you to reach out and feel it. Just because you feel hopeless at times, it is okay. That is a normal feeling that people can feel all the time. It just might be your intuition, softly knocking at your door, politely requesting a bit more means #healingthroughyoga to heal, and feel the hope that awaits in the other side of this individual present moment. And now it is the next moment...special thanks to @jillianbrycee for helping to expand upon that philosophy during TT. What a blessed summer it has been!! And just like that, hope glimmers like the Colorado river flowing into the settings sun!! Now I’m gonna go #namaSTRETCH & breathe to #NamaSTAY!! . . .

So much attention inline is often highlighting the most exciting of postures to catch the eye. It is exciting to see such a beautiful celebration of yoga and the incredible work of those who have mastered advanced physical practice. But what about those days when our needs require a much more grounded perspective? ————— The primary purpose of asana, is to help the body and mind, process the things that our mind alone is struggling through. Nerve damage is a beast and can cloud my perspective like a Siberian snowstorm!! That is why #healingthroughyoga has become such an integral part of my life. To help sort through these moments and get back to the joy of the present moment. ————— So find the most simple of expressions: A breath. A mantra. A Sun A. A moment of gratitude. Happiness will not find you on its own. It is an exercise is living! And no matter how daunting the task, you are up for it! You can do ANYTHING you set your mind, body, and spirit in unison towards. Namaste yogis!! . . . . . . #yoga #igyoga #yogawisdom #yogi #yogalove #wellness #yogadaily #stretch #instayoga #yogainspiration #yogalife #yogaforeveryone #yogaeverydamnday #instafit #yogapose #yogafun #yogaaddict #yogisofinstagram #yoginspiration #yogajourney #yogaforlife #asana #yogagoals #yogateacher #goodearthyoga #yogawisdom #gay #lgbtq #instagay (at Studio City, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1edN9SDmbl/?igshid=1fgcas8mroh80

#sundaystretch — or let’s be honest, with yoga, everyday is STRETCH DAY!! 🎉🎉🎉 When elongating #muscle groups and opening up joints while #healingthroughyoga I like to maintain an activation in parts of the body we often forget while seated or elevated in the air: #feet In Supta Badha Konasana, I like to think of #kissing the four corners of my feet together and lifting my toes away. Finding strength and #isometric activation is part of my #physicaltherapy in working around nerve damage to activate other parts of my Manomaya Kosha, or outermost physical layer. There is nothing fast about this process, and good news, #yoga is forever... There is no rush!! Just the joy of working #onedayatatime to a happier, healthier, and pain-free life!! Namaste my friends and have a beautiful stretch today!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻☺️☺️❤️❤️🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♂️🕉🕉 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNuc5jHf3J/?igshid=cm35m9t86m82
