what i learned on my mat this week:
just BE- don’t force don’t judge just BE
authentically who you are and watch all of the light and magic shine through you ✨ #mayiinvertalot #viralreelsシ #viralshorts #AyurvedicWisdom #VinyasaYoga #tulsi #ayurveda #yoga #yogatips #downdog #viralreelsfbpage #vlog #viralvideoシ
santosha is contentment - how can you find contentment in your life? not from things but from within
contentment used to be scary to me what i thought was complacency or a non-growth mindset but it’s really the opposite it’s what helps you grow
appreciate and accept what you have who you are and grow from there

top tips for downward facing dog 🐶
i think downdog gets forgotten about sometimes bc it’s such a foundational pose that the ego gets in the way of making adjustments
if your hamstrings are tight walk the feet closer to the hands even put a little bend in the knees
press your chest back towards your thighs keeping your ears in line with your arms so you don’t arch the back
pull your rib cage together tucking the pelvis forward / under
think of spinning the elbow creases in and forward to allow the shoulders to externally rotate and stay engaged
save for lataaa🫶🏼

pratyahara- withdrawal of senses
this involves withdrawing the senses from external stimuli and turning attention inward- fostering greater control over one’s mind
but i think an important part of this inner work is not to withdraw or ignore the senses it’s to withdrawal from the attachment to the senses
we attach ourselves so often to external stimuli allowing these things to control how we feel or how we react
pratyahara is the practice of withdrawing from the attachment to the senses allowing the senses to still be there passing by - and deep down we’re creating this heightened sense of awareness to our mastery of the mind

the crown chakra, (sahasrara) is the seventh energy center in the human body’s chakra system - its located at the top of the head and is considered the gateway to cosmic energy and divine consciousness
this chakra is linked to the pineal gland and the cerebral cortex, influencing our perception of reality beyond the physical realm
when balanced, the crown chakra allows for a deep sense of inner peace and spiritual insight
imbalances in the crown chakra can manifest as feelings of disconnection or an overemphasis on material concerns
inverting the body is believed to reverse the flow of energy and increase blood circulation to the head 💜

intention setting :
some things to consider before setting powerful intentions 🪄
- find a quiet space
- breathe deeply and settle into your space
- reflect on what truly aligns with your purpose
- express intentions gently
- focus on the emotions they evoke
- let feelings guide actions naturally

2023 was filled with so much growth - i can not wait to see what 2024 brings 🪄
in Ayurveda, setting intentions before consuming food or drink is a mindful practice involving focus on positive thoughts, gratitude, and the energy you want to imbibe in your meal
this can enhance the overall experience and potentially influence digestion
i do this a lot with food and especially with what i drink - it feels “easier” to do this with things i know are good for my body mind and soul like this clean energy elixir from @gardenofflavor the ginger and tumeric also aid in digestion and warm the body 😋
helpful cues in forearm stand -
these have all been game changers for me!!!
-stack / shift shoulders to stack over your elbows, a lot of the time we don’t shift forward far enough to gain weight / pressure in the forearms leaving us weak or wobbly
-press up and out of the shoulders not letting them shrug / drop, this helps with creating the muscle needed to support yourself in forearm stand
-keep the core tight pulling rib cage together as you kick up so you don’t dump into the low back
those are just a few of my favs!! what helps you? i have a whole video breakdown of forearm stand when you subscribe to Experience Bliss link in my bio!
a few of my favorite transitions to take and how i cue them 👇🏼
from balancing half moon start to slowly bend your bottom knee and lower your lifted toes half way back on your mat
land the ball of your foot first keeping stability in your core and ankle then land the heel of your foot so the toes are pointed out
as your landing the lifted leg start to bend deeper into both knees sinking into goddess keeping knees over ankles
from goddess simultaneously plant your hands to the mat, lift your hips up and turn your toes in and heels out to come into a wide leg fold

awaken your sacral chakra 🧡
how can you tap into your creativity, not just in your thoughts, but in the act of generating abundant, beautiful energy?
our sacral chakra connects deeply with our sense of worthiness, which is intricately linked to our ability to be creative and experience pleasure
if we lack a sense of worth, it becomes challenging to fully embrace and embody the wonderful energies of creativity and pleasure
affirm : my creativity is a powerful force within me, and I express it with confidence 🧡

guayusa for the win from @gardenofflavor 🎃🧡
why guayusa over coffee especially before yoga? bc guayusa enters the blood stream slower than caffeine from coffee leaving you with a zen like focus vs anxious and jittery
when i would have coffee before yoga my mind would be alllll over the place and feel really flighty vs this elixir i feel aware and grounded 🧡

what yoga means to me
i haven’t thought about this honestly in a long time
i spent most of this year on auto pilot just going through the motions no matter how hard i tried i just felt like i couldn’t get a grasp on things
even my practice i would come and go not thinking much at all but i think that’s why i love this practice so much because you can show up as you are no matter what and no one has to know how you feel off your mat
connecting to this knowing of showing up as you are on your mat is freeing and is slowly grounding me again- that’s what yoga means to me 🕊️
