A slow sun salutation, moving with the sounds of Venice🤎
Feeling immensely grateful to get to experience new places and to have the ability to move my body along the way. Every day practice has been different while moving lots, having jet lag and a stomach bug (lol) but every time I get to move is a gift so I'm trying not to be attached to it looking a certain way on my travels! Sending you all lots of pasta, gelato and love from here🫶🏻🍝
Today was one of those days where all I could do in my practice was this and it's taken me a long time to realize that that's OK!
Let this be your reminder to nourish yourself, even if your monkey brain chatter says otherwise!
Happy full moon in Scorpio!!! May you rest, nourish and do whatever feels best for you today🫶🏻
The first class of the chakra series is now uploaded on YouTube along with an intro video explaining my ideas behind this series of practices! The idea is to embody the yogic philosophy of the Yamas and the Niyamas so that we can better understand them!
Disclaimer: I am still learning and will always be, what I am sharing in these classes is from things I've learned from my teachers as well as my own interpretation + perspective of them. So take all that I say with a grain of salt as I am no master. I just want to do this series so that I can become a better teacher by practicing!
Over the next 7 weeks, one class will be posted for each chakra! I am grateful for my teacher @alexyogabarcelona for expanding my knowledge on yoga philosophy in his bilingual training! 🙏🏼
This may not look like much, but to me this made my whole world. This was the first time I was able to go through the first half of the primary series without being led with a teacher or with my paper with the sequence on it. Yes, I most definitely may have messed up the breath count on a few, missed a pose or mixed up the order in the closing sequence and still cannot do many of the asanas to their full expression, but nonetheless I did it! Something that I had been telling myself I cannot do, today, after a few days of not meeting my mat, I was feeling lost in what I should do, so I came back to this practice that is such an anchor, a rock. I said to myself, "why not at least try?"
This is one of those examples of how profound yoga is. While yes, asana isn't everything in yoga, yoga is everything in asana. Ahimsa in this case helled me to be compassionate with myself, where before I would have been much harsher. Tapas helped me to stay disciplined and to keep going even though I really wanted to stop and go get my paper as I thought I was "messing up." Santosa allowed me to be content with whatever the outcome is and to just be grateful for the journey the practice is taking me on.
I had been feeling stuck, unmotivated and uninspired to post on social media as I was feeling unsure of what to say or if what I have to say is important to share but once again this practice leads me in the path to just keep going, trying, falling and being as real as possible!
Thanks for reading this lengthy ramble and have a great weekend🤍
