The Pain. The Love. The Brokenness. The Healing. The In-between. The Journey. The Arrival. Give thanks for it all, because it takes all of it to walk in your light and purpose.

Your pain like you pleasure is sacred. Transmute that shit like the alchemist you inherently are. Remember and reclaim your strength, your power, and your heart. •

I welcome the feeling of joy within my heart. I give the highest thanks for creating the space needed for what serves my highest good, I am ready to accept the gifts to come. I welcome the light into spaces that need it and warmth in all others. I welcome the abundance that is life to flow to me and offer thanks for the blessings. I welcome peace into my mind, heart, and spirit allowing it to release the remnants of what isn’t serving my highest good. I welcome love in all of its forms to fill my life, heart, mind, and spirit. I welcome the resonance that love creates within my life. I welcome my rising, embrace it, honor it, and consecrate it. So be it, it is so. Ase. •
Peace & Love 💛

It’s Sunday and I’m trying very hard to care about anything other than coffee and getting back into my bed.

Lotus Lesson Of The Day: Sometimes it’s about slowing down. To much of anything will throw your equilibrium off. There is great value in rest and moments of empty space. •••••••••••••••
News Flash👀, Yoga Teachers are human and get caught up like everyone else. I’ve been so incredibly busy for the last year honestly. Living by my calendar to remember the most basic of things. I work full-time as a Manager and teach a couple of Yoga classes weekly. I’ve attained additional certifications in both careers last year and now looking to shift my career to a director level position plus kick off my yoga program in 2019. I’m driven, I get it. I’m also encroaching upon feelings of being burnt out. Needless to say, I was gently reminded that things are out of wack and I need to make some adjustments. I need to rest. I need to be replenished. I need to restore balance. •••••••••••••••
All aspects of the 8 limb path help to bring you home to aspects of yourself. So, this time around, I want to open the window to my world and my practice. I hope you find a jewel or two on the journey to inspire you.

My intention before guiding every yoga practice is

My intention before guiding every yoga practice is that my students get from me what is needed in that present moment. Sometimes, even the best of us doubt our skills, effectiveness, impact, and a myriad of other things. Hopefully coming back to know that what comes from the heart, is truly received by the heart. I vividly remember after teaching my second karma yoga class after finishing my 200-hour teacher training the feelings I felt when Alex at @yoganook said to me you are a yoga teacher. It’s amazing how long I doubted my worthiness to be called such because of my own desire to be perfect. During my 300-hour teacher training, those doubts resurfaced only to find that all of us from teachers to studio owners had the same feelings. The difference was seeing the desire we all had to be impactful with our skills. That was beautiful to me! My own shift from wanted to be perfect to wanting to be as impactful as possible in providing tools to help communities (particularly black and brown) heal generational, societal, communal, and cyclical traumas. I’m thankful and humbled by the journey. I also salute all of you who show up day in and day out doing the work. I see you, I honor you, I value you, and your very existence makes this world a better place! It’s been dope to realize I am what I said I wanted to be. -Love & Light

Letting go in your practice can sometimes be as hard as the practice itself. -
Thankful for my ability to let go and be open to the experience of the beautiful souls in this picture and those missing from the picture who were a part of my recent 300hr teacher training. It’s surprising how impactful simply sharing your story and listening to those stories can be. I’m appreciative, humbled, and moved by our truths, tears, love, and laughter. Thank you 🙏🏾 -
