VEGAN. YOGA. LIFE.

I’m a vegan foodie, yoga practicer and creative entrepreneur who’s constantly trying to find that balance between work and life, structure and creativity, knowledge and magic. Vegan Yoga Life is my venn diagram of awesomeness, a place where all of my passions meld and I find myself in the overlap.

"When you find the balance between your curiosity and your ability to surrender to the journey, you will develop trust in life. The trust is the key to the freedom you are searching for. All this bro aid, the whole reason you are jumping on this path is to find a sense of joy and happiness. Do things that make you laugh, and smile. Surround yourself with people that are full of love and joy. And when you are full of that love and joy you will be able to offer back those same feelings to everyone you come across." - Matt Giordano ---- (From @wanderlusthlwd Journal - teachers writing letters to their younger selves just beginning their yoga journey) #yog #yogaeverydamnday #yogalove #journey #curiosity #freedom #wanderlust #veganyogalife #yogalife #yogainspiration #joy #happiness #love #wanderluster #yogisofig

"I trust that the universe gives me exactly what I need at exactly the right time. Everything works out perfectly." (Awesome affirmation card by @beingtricia!) ----- Almost a year ago, I was given the opportunity to teach a weekly flow class @onedowndog. I had recently graduated from yoga teacher training and I remember being so nervous before every class. I would have my entire sequence planned out and written down in my notebook to reference during class. Even though it was scary, it's exactly what I needed at that time in order to learn and grow as a yoga teacher. Today I taught that class for the last time - because we're moving to Austin in two weeks! I will miss this flow class in particular because it was my first weekly class and there were so many people who would come regularly, week after week - a real community was forming. While leaving is bittersweet, I feel joy that my absence is creating an opening for another teacher(@caitran) to learn and grow. The universe is apparently adamant about sending me to explore some new adventure halfway across the country. I'm taking things one breath at a time and trusting that it's exactly what I need. #yoga #yogateacher #veganyogalife #yogisofinstagram #yogisofig #affirmation #mantra #universe #faith #awareness (at ONE DOWN DOG)

"I create my own experience. Whatever experience I am having, I am creating it, therefore I can change it." -@beingtricia (Own Your Awesome affirmation cards). --- I had a reminder earlier that in this constantly changing world, the only thing we have control over is ourselves and how we deal with things. And taking it a step further, like creates like. Knowing this, I wonder to myself what it is that I want to create around me? I want connectedness, love, joy, creativity and happiness. --- Lately I've made an effort to smile at everyone I see. It can be a little intimidating at first but it feels great! And it doesn't even matter if they smile back. I know I feel great when someone smiles at me so the least I can hope for is that it makes others feel good, too. If I can help one person feel better today then that is success! --- What are you working to create around you today?

"No man steps into the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man." -Heraclitus Practice recognizing the awe in everything around you because nothing is permanent. Everything is constantly changing and nothing lasts forever, "good" or "bad." Even we are changing with every breath we take. #change #impermanence #meditation #breathing #inspiration #quotes #veganyogalife #yoga #yogisofig #yogalife

"The things you oppose weaken you, the things you're for give you strength." From the Editor's Note in the very first issue of @driftwoodmagazine! So inspirational and I can't wait to pour through the rest of these pages. It's incredible the feeling of connection I have right now - there are people out there who are FOR the same things as me. I supported their kickstarter and helped send them strength. In return, I feel strengthened in knowing that I'm not alone in my desire to help make the world a better place by being vegan. #vegan #vegansofig #veganyogalife #veganism #veganlife #veganlifestyle #veganliving #veganmagazine #driftwoodmagazine #compassion #inspiration #govegan #veganreading
