💜A little student love. Thank you @jessisjamboree 🕉Yoga Therapy is personalized and so can look different for each person. Basic virtual sessions include touching base about what is happening with the individual who is showing up, use of discussion, intake and assessment forms to get an idea of Yogic practices that may support that individual in whatever it is that they are looking for out of Yoga Therapy. During sessions the Yoga Therapist and Student have a conversation,

💜When we practice the second Yama Satya and live in truthfulness- there is nothing to fear. Our life becomes an open book and this leads to freedom. Yamas are always applied in thought, word and deed. They are also always under the umbrella of non-violence, meaning all that is practiced is under the guise of "do no harm" to self and others. 🌟I personally live my life in alignment with core virtues of Love and Truth. When I truly began applying these two things to how I th

On this day, just before Valentine's Day, I am being pulled to share this experience with all of you again because it is a huge influence on my yoga teaching. Just the other day I was walking to a park in Collingswood NJ and ran into one of my teachers who I studied under during my 200 hour and it made me realize that it has been 7 years since this life changing experience. Some of you may not know that as part of my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Beyond Asana in 2014 I

💜The reality is that the world we live in is a messy place, as is the mind. We can however change both of those things... 🌟We can do this by choosing to live consciously with integrity in alignment with high vibrational energies such as non-violence and truthfulness. When we begin to shift our internal perspective in this way we radiate those high vibe frequencies out to everyone we encounter and this is how we change the world- by adding kindness and compassion. 💜In

☮️Happy Thursday. I hope your week has been outta this world, I know mine has been a bit strange... 🌟To lighten things up I decided to share the sticker a friend/student sent me back in December, saying it reminded her of me. I love so much finding out how others see me. This small gift makes me giggle and smile every time I look at it. It's pretty representative of how I carry my unique Self in this world spreading peace and love. @kgio36 you see me ✌ 💜 If you'd like to

When I was younger I used to judge my physical appearance harshly. I didn't like my hair, my face, my body- I always thought that in order to be beautiful I needed to look a certain way- according to magazines, tv, movies, etc. This resulted in anxiety, negative self talk, harmful behaviors and a cycle of consistently making bad choices with relationships, food, and substances. I didn't like myself very much, I treated myself like shit, chose relationships with people who

💜The first step in feeding your Spirit is acknowledgment of its existence. Allow the false messages you received as a child to fall away and become more of who you used to be before the world told you who you were. You are a unique drop of the Divine in human form, allow your authentic Self to shine. 🌟When I was a child I totally knew I was a spiritual being. Inherently I felt my connection to everything in nature- the stars, the moon, the mountains, the ocean, the trees

Feeding of the intellect seems to be big in our culture. However, I personally believe it is overwhelmingly saturated with lower knowledge and Ego led absorption. Which then leads to low vibrational humans spewing anger, hatred, resentment, bigotry and righteousness all over others. This is not how Yogis feed the intellect. Above all a Yogi seeks knowledge that is true, beyond dogma and cultural conditioning, the Yogi stays curious, open and practices discernment. Yoga phi

Warning: This post is about suicide prevention.  It's important to talk about. This time of year can be hard. Combination effects from shorter daylight hours, the cold, and the holidays. The holidays are not holly and jolly for many. Especially those who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief,  loneliness, and sadness. I understand because I was dealing with all of those feelings once and sometimes those feelings come back. Not so much these days because I've done a lot

🦋Yoga Philosophy gives several Paths of Yoga/Union and it is non-dogmatic, which means it can support any person's religious practices or be a stand alone spiritual practice. This is what makes Yoga so beautiful,  there is no "only one right way"  to even engage in the practice itself. 🌟There are as many ways to come to oneness with the spirit within as there are unique individuals on the planet. Rigidity in beliefs and condemnation of other's beliefs is what drives separ

We are energetic beings. Each of us vibrates at a frequency. High vibrations are love, kindness, compassion, truth, joy, gratitude, generosity and peace. Low vibrations are hatred, anger, resentment, jealousy, lies, aggression, greed and fear. We are literally the things we consume, the thoughts we think, the words we speak and the actions we bring forth. It is important to begin to understand this. The average person left unchecked is in constant energetic flux influenced

I've had a very strange day. Upon my 1st social media scroll of the day in I saw a post which led me to learn about the Legend of Turtle Island, an indigenous people's creation story about how the land of America came to be. The story invoked in me deep feelings of sadness because I have lived on this land my entire life and I had never heard it before. I then started researching the real 1st American Thanksgiving story...the other story I was not taught as a child. Within me

💜I used to search outside of myself for love and was consistently disappointed. Then one day I discovered that I need not look anywhere but inside myself for the love that I seek and then the whole game changed.

How can you truly love and accept anyone else as they are if you don't do the same for yourself? 💜Self-love is top priority on a spiritual path.  It consists of intentionally carving out time for yourself by yourself so that you learn to know, understand and accept yourself just as you are. It also means celebrating how far you've come, checking in to see how you can support yourself moving forward, as well as the process of removing from your life thoughts,  behaviors and r

Why I teach in a trauma informed way.... Almost all humans have experienced some type of traumatic event. Trauma ranges in how it's experienced and is extremely detrimental when it happens in early childhood,  ages 0-6. Traumas large and small leave their traces in a person's being,  and lives in the brain and the body long after the traumatic incident/s occurs. A very crude explanation- basically what happens during trauma is that the nervous system responds in "fight,
