Your breath is the 🔑 to exploring your body (, heart, and mind!) more deeply! Peep my stomach in my chin stand- i deepen my backbend using a slow and steady breath. 🌬 Perfect example of how to sync your mind, body, and spirit during your practice and test your limits. This concept of connectivity is gonna be all up and through #LoveHealsATL this weekend! 💙 Connected to ourselves, connected to one another, our community, our world, our ancestors, the universe... All through love. If you're in the area make sure you sign up!

Feelin like a straight bad bitch with my new tote!😍🎉 I have some special events coming up (the jet setting kind 😌✈️), and i wanna let EVERYBODY know from my uber driver, strangers in the airport, hotel concierge, folks at conferences, and beyond to know what im up to. And giiiiiiiirl THEY 👏🏾GONNA 👏🏾KNOW👏🏾. But for real, its so exciting to be 100% invested in myself for a change. It hasn’t come easy. Honoring my voice, manifesting my dreams, trusting my journey, all that shit has been HARD. But worth it. I am worth it. 💯 And y’all are worth it too! I have some announcements coming up in the future to prove just how much i fuck with y’all and support YOUR dreams, YOUR voice, and YOUR journey. Bet. 💙💙💙 #selflove #lacyprogress #yoga #blackgirlyoga #healing #fitness #dream

Meditation helps me navigate my trauma. In certain situations, when i get suuuper stressed out i disassociate. That means i can hear you, but im not listening, im not thinking, im not able to talk, i don't remember shit afterwards, im not processing the world in or around me- im just gone. It's been really difficult learning the root of where this comes from for me and even harder learning my triggers and how to avoid and deal with them intentionally. The breath i have found in my meditation helps me bring myself back to the present. I dont do this shit to be cute, like yoga has saved my life. Its not the poses, but the reconnection with yourself that occurs as a result that holds the power. When i blank out, ive found i can slowly ease myself back into the present by following the familiar breath ive become so intimate with in meditation. As an upcoming therapist and yoga teacher, experiencing this skill in myself has made the practice of being present even more meaningful. .

My name is kala, and I feel responsible for people's feelings and their state of being. 🤦🏾‍♀️ The universe has been consistently asking me to address this (and ive been consistently avoiding dealing with it! 😂). Although it comes from a good place, me deeply caring about how people are feeling and wanting to be there for them, it is an incredible and impossible burden to believe that it is my fault if someone isn't happy. So my current challenge is to learn how to "detach with love." 💗Its a concept that comes up a lot for loved ones of addicts. Although my story doesn't include someone suffering with addiction, ive been playing this role to my own detriment since i was a child. Its hard for me to wrap my head around detaching but still caring, but maybe i can parallel it to the nonattachment yoga asks of us. 🤔 im figuring it out slowly and trying to be gentle with myself as i unravel a lifelong role, where it comes from, and what it means. . 🎶: @young.sparks #yoga #yogi #yogateacher #yogaeverydamnday #blackgirlyoga #health #healing #exercise #fit #fitness #selflove #selfcare #lacyprogress #fitgirl

This posture was a reminder that im self-taught. Of course ive been to many yoga classes, but every "advanced" posture you see me in is the result of a lot of time and experimentation at home (aka lots of falling 😂). Today i understand this headstand variation MUCH more. It has always been so difficult for me! Heres the not-so-secret secret i learned:.... keep your hips stacked over your shoulders, dummy. 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️ Yes! I was reminder to protect my foundation while transitioning. #Yoga101 Nothing fancy occurs if you dont have your basics set up. Once i focused on the placement of my hips instead of desperately trying not to fall over, it just worked 🙌🏾✨ For a moment i was mad that this was the key i needed this whole time. If i had a teacher i could have easily found comfort in this headstand ages ago. But i love being self-taught. The intimacy of my practice is so unique because of it. It just may take me a little longer to get there! 😬👌🏾 #yoga #yogi #yogateacher #yogaeverydamnday #health #healing #exercise #fitness #fit #selfcare #selflove #lacyprogress #progress
