i need to stop smoking because i feel my heart space is a bit congested. i want to practice do the L pose where the tail bone is in the air and the heart space is on the floor. ive been focusing a lot on loosening my hamstrings and that has given some nice results, but i still need to work on my hip opening for splits.

This class was really good! Crista is an awesome teacher, she has a relaxed upbeat style that I really enjoy. There’s a lot of hip opening, like the title suggests which I love and some arm balances too, though most of these are optional. All and all a class just on the verge of being intense but still doable. Definitely one I’ll come back to.

Hot Vinyasa, 75 mins; Restorative Yoga, 75 mins - 3/1/16

*Inhale* "Let..." *exhale* "go." My mantra tonight was to let go. Last night I did a thorough mental assessment of my life. I'm overjoyed with how far I've come, and so grateful for so so much of what I have. But then I realized that there are things I am not yet at peace with. Because I have not accepted these things or forgiven myself for them, I carry around this baggage unknowingly. After tonight I am one step closer to peace with the world around me and myself. And with that, good night. 🌙✨

Beginning Aerial Yoga, 75 mins - 1/11/16

I did the upside down thing. The thing was fun. Gonna keep doing the thing. Blah too tired to write too much, I've realized these have become shorter and shorter.

Hot emPOWER Yoga Flow, 75 mins - 1/9/15

Will. The third chakra. Today was all about my will. Your will can be your best friend and your worst enemy. It was 7 am class. I did it. I got up early and got there at 6:50 am, because I willed it so. I went through the challenging flow and didn't quit (which sometimes I do). I focused all my attention on where I was most willing to move, and where my body was determined not to go. It's made me wonder where I have let my will get in my own way off of the mat, in everyday life. It is this mindfulness that I start my weekend. Be well and love one another, my friends. May you live your life consciously and deliberately. Namaste.

Vinyasa Flow, 75 mins, & Therapeutic Aerial, 75 mins - 1/7/16

My first back-to-back night. Jessica kicked my tush in vinyasa, lots of core (which I love, and need), but guys…. I WAS ABLE TO DO CROW POSE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HIGH SCHOOL!!! 😆🙈 I CAN DO CROW. I think any sentence with the words "I CAN" is pretty damn awesome. My mantra that I intended for the evening was "Believe in me." It's amazing what the power of the mind is and how it can affect how we live in the physical world. Until the next time lovelies, this yogini is pooped. ✨Nighty night ✨
