QUE DICEN SUS

ESTUDIANTES

"Tuve la suerte de tener muchas sesiones con Jeannette, así como algunas sesiones grupales y de pareja. Disfruté aprendiendo sobre filosofía del yoga en las sesiones grupales y realmente disfruté haciendo yoga con mi pareja (no lo hace a menudo y está bastante impaciente ).

El conocimiento que compartió Jeannette me ayudó a avanzar en mi práctica. Ella es paciente y digna de confianza. Pude relajarme en mi cuerpo y mente para poder concentrarme en sentir los movimientos y mi respiración, disfrutando plenamente de la práctica.

Ella adaptó a las rutinas de yoga para mi cuando me lesioné la muñeca y, con su guía, ¡aprendí a pararme de Shirshasana!

Es una gran mentora, maestra y amiga ".

— Q Mae

"Se le preguntó a Buda qué había ganado con la meditación. Él respondió: '¡Nada! Sin embargo, déjame decirte lo que perdí: ira, ansiedad, inseguridad, depresión y miedo a la vejez y muerte".

I’m sharing a little experiment I’m doing with myself and going to create a series to take you on the journey with me. This is my journey and everything I’m sharing is based on my research on optimal breathing for athletic performance.

Some key take aways I want to share:
Mouth vs Nasal Breathing 👃🏼

When we inhale through the month the upper lobes of the lungs are filled this is called chest breathing. This type of breathing reduces the surface area inside the lungs which is available to absorb the oxygen.

Conversely when air passes through the narrow slits of the nose, its turbulence is increased, driving air deeper into the lower lungs and increasing the surface area available for the lungs to absorb oxygen. This type of breathing is belly breathing.

✨Nasal breathing is increasing your vitality by increasing your oxygen absorption.

Stamina⚡️
Now let’s talk about stamina, because nasal breathing increases how much oxygen is absorbed per breath this means there are fewer breaths needed in order to get the same amount of oxygen.

💥This means saving more energy doing the same work as someone breathing primarily through the mouth.

In addition to a more efficient use of lungs, nasal breathing also releases nitric oxide into the air your inhaling and once in the lungs. This nitric oxide enters the blood stream and begins to open up the blood vessels of the body. Allowing more blood oxygen and nutrients to enter the muscles during exercise.

💪🏽Meaning more fuel available for the muscles and better waste removal for muscle breakdown. Both of which increase stamina.

I’ll keep you up to date on my progress as I move through the weeks.

Do you practice nasal breathing in your sport activities? How has it affected your performance

Dear One,
it is time you know the truth.

It is not your practices
that are healing you.

They are merely
tools
to bring you closer to yourself.

The dedication,
the devotion
has always lied
in how often can you
come back to you.

How often
can you choose yourself
and trust what is?

✨For those that maybe feeling the weight of the world or disconnected. ✨

🔥 Have you been dreaming of the “dark man”?

In the book “Women Who Run With the Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estés teaches that these dreams appear when our psyche feels our creative fire is dimming — calling us to *wake up*, reclaim our instincts, and protect what’s sacred within.

In this week’s Contemplation Monday, I dives into how these dreams aren’t warnings, but invitations — to face the inner forces that dull our spark, take our creative work seriously, and trust our own artistic fire.

💭 What helps you rekindle your creativity when it feels dim?

🫁 Breathwork for Performance & Recovery

Your breath might be the most powerful training tool you’re not using. In this hands-on workshop we explore how simple, science-backed breathing practices can transform the way you train, recover, and focus—inside and outside the gym.

Through a mix of short lectures and practical drills, you’ll learn how to:
✨ Improve endurance and stamina with CO₂ tolerance training
✨ Boost recovery and reduce fatigue through nervous system regulation
✨ Sharpen focus and mental clarity for more intentional sessions
✨ Train smarter, not harder, by harnessing your body’s natural rhythms

Expect a balance of science and practice as we dive into the physiology of breath, then apply it through guided exercises like nasal breathing, pranayama, and recovery breathwork.

You’ll leave with practical tools you can use immediately in your training—and in daily life.
This session is designed for all levels: whether you’re a regular at @intentionalfitnessbrighton, new to breathwork, or a performance-focused athlete, you’ll walk away with skills to help you train with purpose, recover faster, and feel more in control of your energy.

✨Contemplation Monday✨

It’s back y’all!! 🤣

Today I’m inviting you to contemplate about how can self-consent help us build intimacy with ourselves and others. 🌱

Breathscapes offered us a wonderful vehicle to journey with this concept. Most of us feel like we are in relationships with ourselves but perhaps we don’t take much time to pause and tune into the subtle messages that our body is sending us. 📳

These messages, whether it be discomfort or triggers, hold great insight into what we need and where we might be missing boundaries. They help us tune into our truth, understand it so that we can then show up for ourselves and let others know how to show up for us too. 🥰

The challenge is this week see if you can take moments of pause through out the week. Perhaps noticing challenging or uncomfortable experiences and tune into the breath to see what messages or answers are hiding there for you. What’s your truth in that experience? What do you or does someone need to do to show up better for you? How can you create greater intimacy with yourself and others through this insight?💡

“Mind is king to the body. Breath is king to the mind” - B.K.S Ianger.

Join us for The Breath, where you are invited to come into awareness with the landscapes of your breath. 🌬️

Pranayama is a profound yogic practice of exploring and expanding our vital life force energy. In these sessions, the breath is our vehicle to connect with the movement of energy. ⚡️

Throughout the practice, we’ll feel into various breathing techniques from classic pranayama, and kyrias, with an emphasis on trauma sensitivity and working towards nervous system harmony. Allowing you space to explore your unique relationship with your breath and energy flow at your pace. 🌱

Jeannette focuses on providing guidance and support for students who seek to find harmony within the intricate dance between professional obligations and family commitments that modern life demands. 🍃

In a society that prioritizes productivity and high performance, mindfulness practices are often used as tools for self-optimization. However, Jeannette invites us to shift our perspective of mindfulness practices to one that can help us reveal our raw and authentic experience of life - becoming acquainted with any discomfort as a compass for wellbeing and decision-making. 🪔

What you can expect:
✨ Lying, sitting, or standing with some techniques requiring more movement. (variations are available for most health and physical abilities, please speak to Jeannette privately to find out if this class is a good fit for you.)
✨Learn a wide variety of pranayama and breathwork techniques for nervous system harmony
✨A practice that creates agency, clarity, and connection through the power of your own breath.
✨No previous experience is required, there is something for everyone.
✨Opportunities to ask questions and share after class.
✨Trauma-Informed Sessions

✨ Student Shares ✨

Last Friday at Feel Good Friday’s (a new class I am Co-facilitating with the lovely @ke.linda_m at @finefeather.wellness) we guided participants through a rejuvenating and relaxing weekly wind down.

We meditated, practiced self message with @sage_holistic beautifully crafted message oils, drank cacao, practiced restorative yoga, immersed ourselves in a sound bath and nourished our bodies with a delicious Ayurvedic lunch. 🍲

One of the biggest takeaways our students had was about “Resting with a Purpose”. 💡

She shared “I normally struggle to rest because it doesn’t feel purposeful. But when you reframed it to taking Purposeful Rest, it feels more aligned and approachable.” 🌱

How many times have we bypassed rest because we felt like it was a waste of time? 🤚🏽

The truth is rest could be the catalyst for inspiration and creativity. When we rest we are shifting our bodies into a parasympathetic state, we’re clearing the way for ideas to come through.

I’ve created this list of reasons for why we don’t rest and ways that we can begin to shift the way we think about rest. These mindset shifts can help us transcend our conditioning for more productivity to more aligned to our true nature.

✨Rest isn’t selfish—it’s sacred.
✨Rest isn’t lazy—it’s the portal to your creativity.
✨Rest isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Remember every time we choose rest, we’re reclaiming our power and challenging a system that wasn’t designed for our wellbeing. Our rest is revolutionary.

Winter whispers truth to those who pause to listen ❄️

Look outside. While our screens flood with “new year, new you” messaging, nature shows us a different way. Trees stand bare, drawing energy to their roots. Bears embrace their winter slumber. Everything in nature knows this truth.

Rest is not a luxury - it’s a revolution against a system that demands constant motion. Moving us towards our truest nature.

This year, I opt for a journey that harmonises with nature’s timeless wisdom, rather than the clamoring demands of capitalism.

“Even in my attempt to rest, the mind searches for what’s next...”

Sound familiar? That constant urge to do more, be more, achieve more - it’s systemic conditioning.

I spent months in Brazil and the Caribbean learning this lesson: Even thousands of miles from hustle culture, that productivity pressure followed. Until I remembered what nature had been teaching all along:

Harmony is a delicate yet powerful dance between effort and ease.
Just like the breath itself - we need both inhale and exhale. Just like there are mountains and valleys, there too must be times of restoration then growth, contemplation for productivity, nourishment for there to be a bloom.

In my latest blog, I’m sharing:
- How rest becomes an act of radical self-care in resistance to harmful systemic structures.
- Why your resistance to pause has been deeply conditioned and is contributing to your stress and anxiety
- How ancient wisdom can support and help us heal
- Practical tools for honoring winter’s rhythm

“Nature offers us the medicine we need if we are open to receiving it.”- Robin Wall Kimmerer from Braiding Sweetgrass

There are 7 types of rest so the next time guilt creeps in about “doing nothing,” remember - you don’t have to sit around watching tv or laying in bed. Rest can be a creative practice of authentic being and soul nourishment, whatever that means for you. 🌿

Save this post as a reminder that:
- Your need for rest is wisdom, not weakness
- Winter calls us naturally inward
- True growth requires both action and pause

A little reflection and important reminder of what the journey looks like for us all! No matter how far along you are the work never stops and we continue to learn, forget and relearn. That the beauty of life. The continued impermanence for the self. Continue to challenge yourself and you will continue to grow. Be ok with being wrong and having to learn a new way. 🌱

✨Day 10 Anti-Avoidance Challenge🚀

Guys I made it to day 10! 🍾

Not going to lie it definitely was a challenge. There were times I wanted to make excuses for why I didn’t need to show up. 😵‍💫

However, I proved myself wrong and made it through the ten days. These 10 days I’ve seen my confidence increase, my perfectionism fizzle away and my creative juices flowing. 🌊

It just goes to show that when we actively choose to push through the uncomfortable emotions, and take small and imperfect action, we can really grow! 🌱

I’m so grateful to @andreakauen for supporting me and sending incredible motivational and reflection audios, I would not have the awareness I have of myself today with out you. Thanks girl!! 😘✨

Hit up @andreakauen if you want her to support you through a challenge like this! 🖌️

✨Day 9 Anti-Avoidance Challenge🚀

Today I’m tackling on my wind down routine! 🌙

Growing up I didn’t really learn healthy ways to wind down before bed and I’ve slowly been incorporating/testing different practices. 🌚

I decided to tackle this one in particular because it triggers my resistance and perfectionism. I decided I’m not going to think at all about what I’m painting and just let the brush lead the way. 🎨

This feels like such a great wind down tool for me because it allows my mind to take the back seat and I can focus on my breath and the stokes. 🖌️

This has been really important for my journey due to my insistent rumination during the night. Especially on nights I’ve got something big or important happening. I’m hoping this helps and it becomes easier to get to with time. 🪻

What does your night time routine look like? Share with me in the comments and let’s see if we can spark some inspiration for each other. ✨

✨Day 6 Anti-Avoidance Challenge🚀

I’ve made it to day 6! I’m so proud of myself 🥳🙌

Thank you @andreakauen for supporting me through this journey! Your words bring me back home to myself. 💕

Ok so by this point I’ve seen real shifts in my avoidance. I’m feeling less vulnerable to the negotiations and shame. I’m feeling more energy after overcome each task. ✨

The thing about avoidance that I’m noticing is that there’s usually a story I have been telling myself as to why I should do this thing, leading to the shame for not doing it which leads to fear of disappointing myself so my brain convinces me to avoid this task at all costs. The high expectations that I constantly hold myself to and the overwhelm it leads me to feel are what have held me in this loop. 🌀

What I see now is that when I overcome those stories and take smaller steps when things feel overwhelming, I actually feel more motivated and energized afterwards. ⚡️

I know it sounds simple but it’s taken a lot of mindset work along with planning to get to this point. I have to check in with what comes up for me and make adjustments when those challenging emotions come try to take the drivers seat. It’s meant I pause more before I take action. But when I do take action there’s intention and inspiration behind it. 🌟

This journey has already taught me so much about myself and it’s allowed me to restore a sense of trust in myself that was previously lacking. 💕

Have you struggled with this in the past or are going through this currently? BWT I think procrastination works in very similar ways. Let me know your story down below 👇🏽

✨Day 4 Anti-Avoidance Challenge🚀

Today my task is getting back to my work planning journal. I love this journal it’s so well designed but after a long time of not keeping up with it, I have landed in a toxic shame spiral. 🌀

The thing about empowerment that is rarely spoken about is that it requires safety! The brain loves familiarity and will prioritize it over new and functional habits. We must show ourselves that it is safe to take this new action and be seen in ways we may have previously not have been ready for. 👀

In the fine words of coach @andreakauen “The thing about shame is that it thrives in secrecy. It makes us believe we are the only ones experiencing this and convinces us that there is no point in trying. Avoidance is the escape door for shame.” 😈

This is a reminder to for me. I have nothing to prove to anyone. I am allowed to take imperfect action. Everyday, I get to choose to show up as this new version of me. 💕

What has been standing in your way of empowerment? Can you do something small today to prove to yourself you can do things differently? Comment a heart below to show some love to those tender parts of us. 🌱

✨ When Spirit Meets Action: A Return to Wholeness

Like two wings of the same bird, spiritual practice and social action were meant to dance together. One lifts us inward, the other propels us outward - and when they move in harmony, we soar towards profound change. 🕊️

I’m embarking on a new chapter in my teaching and coaching, one that honors this sacred partnership. Because to walk a spiritual path is to recognize our duty to all beings, just as fighting for justice is protecting their divine right to flourish.

Through years of practice and study, I’ve discovered that Ahimsa (non-violence) isn’t just about not causing harm - it’s about standing up, speaking out, and taking action with love and compassion as our compass.

This is why I’m creating spaces where inner work meets outer change:
- Monthly Root Down Rise Up gatherings
- 1:1 Empowerment Coaching
- Trauma-Informed Yoga
- Breathwork for Resilience
- Mindfulness Workshops

Join us December’s Root Down Rise Up Event as we explore HOPE - your holiday survival toolkit. 🌱

Together, we’re creating spaces where personal empowerment meets collective action.

Be sure to read my latest blog about this evolution at my link in bio.

✨Day 3 Anti-Avoidance Challenge✨

I decided to take on an easier task today and finally deep cleaned my shower curtain. This was one of those things you look at and say oh yea I have to wash that and then before you know it time has pasted. 😅

Something I’ve been trying to integrate more in my life is being more mindful of the cleanliness of my space and things. 🧼

Part of the way my anxiety and stress have show up is through avoidance. Like when it came down to studying for a big exam, those were the deep clean days haha 🥸

Mindfulness teachings tell us that one should do one task at a time and do a task as soon as you think about it or we are less likely to get it done. Are you guilty of this? 🫧

Thanks to @andreakauen for inspiring me to interrupt my patterns through small and big action. If you want to grow you have to break the patterns that are keeping you stuck. So here I am ☄️

What tasks have you been putting off lately? Tell me in the comments if this video inspires you to get your tasks ticked off your list today. 💫

✨Day 2 Anti-Avoidance Challenge🚀

Today was a big one for me! Lots of resistance fear and shame connected to old stories from my childhood.

Avoidance is not a sign of laziness as some people might think. It’s actually a nervous system response helps us stay safe. Our brains love safety and familiarity so when we interrupt these patterns we are creating new neural pathways. 🧠

Thank you @andreakauen for inspiring me to break these patterns! 🙌💕

Check out my new blog post on my link in bio or DM for the link. Let me know in the comments if you’ve been putting off any tasks because of old stories about what you can or can’t do. 🌱

✨Stepping In✨

Ok it’s time to get really honest with you. I’ve been going through a lot of growing pains lately. I’ve been move through a lot of shame guilt and resistance to showing up on here as this new version of me. 🙅🏽‍♀️

So I thought it might be helpful you show you my journey moving through these uncomfortable emotions because I truly believe that when we allow ourselves to feel them they can be a catalyst for change. 🌱

Today I am embarking on a 10 day anti-avoidance challenge with the lovely @andreakauen where the next ten days I will be sharing with you 10 tasks that trigger my resistance. In doing this I will prove to myself that I am able to overcome overwhelm and shame and step into empowerment. 🚀

Today is Day 1 posting on social media after a period of silence. Join me these next 10 days as I get though tasks I’ve been putting off. Let me know if the comments I’m not the only one going there this right now. 💕

It has never been more important than it is right now to lean on community. To embrace and hold each other up. To pause and grieve so that it can energize us to regroup.

It has never been more important than it is right now to build systems within those communities to support the needs of the community. To find ways around the limitations of the system at large.

It has never been more important then it is right now to show up for one another. Because we are not alone. We can come together and overcome whatever gets in the way. We are stronger together.

As we move forward let us not forget the strength of the many. Let love build and strengthen our communities. Let them be our source of hope.

“Hope is a state of mind, not the state of the world.” - unknown

May we continue the work because it’s what needs to be done not because of the results that come from the work.

🍁Moving into Autumn🍂

I’m starting to feel the autumn vibes hit. This is my favorite season because it’s an invitation to let go and shed. 🍂

During this micro practice, I walk you through a series of breathing techniques to help you shed the excess, let go of the pressures of the day/week/month and return to your center. 💨

Self-care practices like this are radical acts of resists against a system that relies on constant production and growth. This is an invitation to slow down and release the need to be anywhere or do anything. 🧘🏽

Let me know how your landing into fall 👇🏽

For those of you who were put down for being sensitive or feeling too much. The truth is your sensitivity is your gift to the world. Your sensitivity is the lighthouse for humanities problems.

Sri T. K. V. Desikachar of The Heart of Yoga shares with us; “Someone who is searching for clarity becomes sensitive because the eyes must be open, even if what they see is sometimes very unpleasant. Someone who is searching feels and sees things long before other people do. They develop a special insight, a particular kind of sensitivity. We would see this positively - this insight or sensitivity can be as useful as a warning light in a car. It tells us that there is something wrong and we would be wise to find out what it is. Someone who is searching for clarity always sees more suffering than someone who is not.”

I’m curious to know how you feel about what is being said here. Who can put most sensitive community members help us identify what is going on. Can we, as the sensitive one calibrate this sense to harness true change in our communities? Should we?

Flow and Breathe Half-Day Retreat 🌿

Okay, it’s time to be real with you. Life’s be chaotic and the pressure heavy. Let’s be honest, I know I’m not the only one. So much tragedy, pain and sadness in the world right now. Our attention has been focused on the external and for every good reason. We can’t stand by and not take action but we also can’t forget to take care of ourselves or watch ourselves burnout in the process. 😮‍💨

Attuning to our inner peace and restoring balance for ourselves is paramount during this time. We can’t continue fighting and standing against violence as we slowly allow ourselves to wear down. It’s time that we rest, recuperate and reconnect so that we can continue to show up stronger, smarter and more United than ever. ⚛️

This is why I created the Flow and Breathe Half Day Retreat. This is for individuals who truly want to step away from hustle and flow into slowness. For those who want to build a healthier and more sustainable relationship with yourself, for a more supportive lifestyle. 🦁

Join us for a intimate exploration of our connection to the breath, movement and our nervous system. This half-day retreat will take a deep dive into the belief systems, obstacles and afflictions that perpetuate suffering in our life. 💫

It’s a time to tune in and observe how our external world can be restructured when we let go of the distractions and stimulation that the modern world bombards us with. 🧠

What to expect:
🌬️ Deepening your breath awareness,
🤸‍♀️Restoring mind-body connection for greater creativity and intuition,
⚡️ Exploration of the Yogic Kleshas for renewal and resilience,
😌 Enhancing your systems for physical and emotional restoration,
♾️ Integration practices so you can create long lasting change in your life,
✨ Boosting overall well-being.

When: Sunday, August 25th, 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Where: Jing Institute of Massage, Brighton

✨This is “Yoga off the Mat”✨

1. Ahimsa (Non-violence):
💫 Ahimsa encourages us to practice non-violence towards ourselves, not just physically but also mentally and emotionally. When we set unrealistic expectations, we often engage in self-critical and harmful thought patterns. When we are embracing Ahimsa, we can cultivate a kind and gentle inner dialogue. We start recognizing that we deserve the same compassion we extend to others.

2. Satya (Truthfulness):
💫 Satya involves being truthful with ourselves about our capabilities and limitations. Unrealistic expectations often stem from a distorted perception of what we can achieve. By practicing Satya, we can begin to meet ourselves where we are at. Setting more realistic and attainable goals that align with our true selves.

3. Santosha (Contentment):
💫 Santosha teaches us to find contentment and satisfaction in the present moment. Constantly striving for perfection can lead to perpetual dissatisfaction. When we practice Santosha, we begin to appreciate our current achievements and state of being, fostering a sense of inner peace.

4. Tapas (Discipline):
Tapas involves cultivating self-discipline and resilience. While it’s important to strive for improvement, Tapas teaches us to do so with a balanced approach, avoiding the extremes of overexertion and burnout. Notice that discipline here is about balance in know when to rest. Rest is also an essential component of being productive.

5. Svadhyaya (Self-Study):
Svadhyaya encourages us to engage in self-reflection and personal growth. When we regularly take time to pause and reflect on our thoughts and behaviors, we can identify patterns of unrealistic expectations and work towards transforming them.

6. Ishvara Pranidhana (Surrender to a Higher Power):
Ishvara Pranidhana teaches us to surrender our egos and trust in a higher power or the universe. This principle helps us let go of the need to control every outcome and reduces the pressure of meeting self-imposed expectations. When we shift into doing things without expectations of an outcome we might let go of so many fears and anxieties attached to what we do.

🪷 Which of these are you currently practicing?

🌟 Breaking Free from Harmful Expectations 🌟

We often place unnecessary, unrealistic and harmful expectations on ourselves. These expectations often lead us to stress, anxiety, a sense of failure, unworthiness, non-belonging or isolation.

❗️I see this way too often in yoga spaces. Imagines of “advanced yoga” as a physical posture that resembles contorsionism.

🙅🏽‍♀️ We become vulnerable to these types of expectations. They end up causing harm and leaving many people out, most of who could really benefit from an authentic practice.

It’s time we collectively call these systems out when we see them. Set up systems for ourselves to stay clear of harmful expectations. We also need a supportive community around us to help us normalize these new ways of being and working.

Awareness is the first step towards change.

We when look deeper into Yoga’s Eight Limbs, they teaches us self-compassion, acceptance and self-inquiry. Embracing the Yamas and Niyamas helps to guide our actions and thoughts. While the Kleshas teach us about the obstacles and afflictions on our path.

All of these bringing us back into wholeness with all parts of us and into awareness. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Here are some practical tips to start implementing today:
✨ Set realistic goals
✨ Practice self-compassion
✨ Celebrate small victories
✨ Let go of the need for perfection
✨ Always Do Your Best

Remember these affirmations:
“I am enough as I am.”
“I honor my journey.”
“I release the need for perfection.”
“I am curious to learn more.”
“I am trying my best.”
“I can rest without being ill or being exhausted.“

Join us in our next Root Down to Root Rise Up to dive deeper into overcoming harmful expectations, build community and organize. Let’s grow together on this journey towards self-realization and empowerment! 💖

💫Contemplation Monday💫

Wow have I been on a bit of a wild rollercoaster over here. 😮‍💨

One thing I’ve learned on my journey is that the messages you need most will come in the most subtle ways. So while listening to my favorite podcast @sabiduriapsicodelica, I was invited to reflect on in important concept of control vs surrender and how this dynamic could be impacting my outlook on life or my current experiences. 🤔

This invited me to reflect on my most recent challenges and conflicts.
💥Is there something that I’m refusing or resisting looking at or working on at the moment?
💥Could I be trying to revert to old conditioning/patterns at this moment, that are be limiting my ability to manage a situation or conflict? (This is usually due to nervous system dysregulation.)
💥Could I surrender in a situation and conflict? Acknowledge my place within that situation as the person refusing to work on themselves or the person observing or experiencing the other going through their own process. (This one takes a significant amount of emotional intelligence!)

When I go through the process of exploring these dynamics in my own life experience, the places I may be experiencing a lot of stress or turmoil, what unfolds is quite beautiful but it’s also quite hard.🪷

🌷 I realized the situations I felt attacked, not good enough, not seen, were maybe the same situations where I either needed to speak up, set a boundary or needed to take responsibility for reverting back to my old patterns.
🌷 I could see where in certain experiences the conflict had nothing to do with me and more to do with someone else’s process.
🌷 I acknowledged where I could assume self-acceptance and responsibility for what’s mine. Whether that be my attitude or my participation.

All of life is an exploration. When we shift into spaces of feeling like life is happening to us. Life will feel out of control. 🌪️

As soon as we come back to knowing that we get to choose the response, we will take life by the raines and make it our own. 🐎

Empowerment is not only about standing confidently when you are doing great. It’s also about owning all the ugly, challenging parts of you. This is evolution!

Reflection time📢

I’ve recently been caught in a dark time. It’s been tough showing up and being the leader I need to be right now.

I’ve been giving my self space, time in nature and lots of self-care.

The theme I keep coming back to are the expectations I place on myself. As a leader of my community, a wife, a sister, daughter or as the sole provider of my family.

What does it mean to play all of these parts? What is necessary and what is an illusion? What is causing more harm and what is nourishing and replenishing?

These are questions I continuously asked myself as I peel layers and layers of conditioning for a culture and society that is so focused on more.

Where do the expectations I have for myself end and the others begin?

What are those external expectations for and in support of?

In my heart I truly believe that we have all that we need already within us and when in doubt we have each other. It is these connections that bind us into CommUNITY.

So than why is it so hard to feel like what I am doing is enough, am I enough, is this enough?

Now that I am coming out the other side, I see clearer than ever that this pressure I feel is pure conditioning. I am enough and in fact My value is not related to anything external. My value is inherent.

I create and share from a place of love, compassion and honor to the spectrum of human experience. I am setting a boundary to allowing those expectations rule over this truth.

Do you feel this way so times? Like the world is attacking you or judging you? Maybe they are but that’s only if you believe that you are not enough already.

Let me know in the comments that I’m not allowed to hear. We are way more that the expectations and labels we place on ourselves.

Happy pride! 🌈

Contemplation Monday 💫

I recently heard a student comment “I like doing meditation but without the spiritual aspect.”

We need to talk about this. While I understand why some people might want this, it is an example of cultural appropriation!

Are you checking in with the way you’re practicing? Are you actively seeking to deepen your knowledge about the practice or the culture it comes from?

When we engage with ancient, traditional or scared practices, like yoga, and we water the practice down to only the parts we feel comfortable with, this is cultural appropriation. We are causing harm, we are disrespecting the people and the culture that it comes from.

Ways that yoga tends to be watered down:
🙅🏽‍♀️ Treating yoga as a solely physical practice.
🙅🏽‍♀️ A Practice that includes shame or ridicule. Moving past your limits to impress.
🙅🏽‍♀️ Not Acknowledging where the practice comes from or its cultural history. For example, yoga was illegal to practice in India during British rule.
🙅🏽‍♀️ Misusing scared objects or language.
🙅🏽‍♀️ A white person who ignores oppression leading the practice.
🙅🏽‍♀️ Removing the spiritual aspect.
🙅🏽‍♀️ Treating yoga like a commodity.
🙅🏽‍♀️You’re only thinking about your own personal gain.

How can we do better within our practice or within the circles we practice with?

Yoga Yama Ahimsa tells us that we must call this violence out when we see or hear it and stand up against it. We can do this in kind and compassionate ways, but we must speak up and educate ourselves more about it.

What are you doing to learn the history and culture of yoga? How are you honoring yogas roots?

💥The Ramifications for Authenticity🐦‍🔥

Authenticity is such a buzz word these days. We all want to be more authentic, of course! However, have you ever contemplated on why we aren’t more authentic?

I love the description that Miguel Ruiz makes in his book the Four Agreements. He states that as adults we have been domesticated through a punishment and reward system. 🐄

As young children, we are free, we are wild and inquisitive. Not a care in the world but to be in our truest nature. 🤸🏽‍♀️

Our true nature or authenticity is conditioned out of us as we grow older. We are taught what is acceptable and what is weird. We hold each other accountable to these conditions everytime we judge others. And in an innate effort to fit in, be accepted and a part of the tribe (a survival instinct), we conform to the status quo.🕴🏼

It is this deep seeded survival instinct that makes it hard for many of us to show up authentically. However, it’s not the end all be all. We can unlearn this conditioning. We must shift out of it as an act of radical love for all beings. 🔥

For those of you that feel like the black sheep, the outcast, the weird kid, you’re not alone!! We were put on this earth to bring this unique light, perspective and vision to the world. We are a unique shade in the large spectrum of the human experience. Our authenticity is an act of rebellion against the force of oppression that are causing so much violence in this world. Yoga at its roots helps us explore all aspects of ourself. 🌈

We can lean into this true Self, with the right resources and community by our side. As Miguel Ruiz puts it, we can shift out of domestication by “Being impeccable with your word. Don’t take anything personally. Don’t make assumptions. Always do your best.”

What’s your prospective on this? How are you acting in rebellion to the status quo?

💫Contemplation Monday☀️

Expansion through the practice of BEING🌳

How can sitting for a breathing or meditation session help us settle into being. How does it change from one environment to the next? How does our perception of being change between the two? 🏞️🌇

I tasked my students with taking their practice to a busy park or beach to explore what comes up. What they came back with was beautiful.

Tears from a realization that for the first time they felt like they could just be. Sit in the flow of their breath. Trust and surrender to the chaos around them. Observe their stillness through all of it.

Keep in mind this was an on going practice and not something that happened through one experience. A consistent practice was needed for this feeling to arise. A lot of frustration was overcome and a lot of discomfort was felt.

“After that practice, for the rest of my day, the effect lingered. I was able to stay present within myself, even when the environment was stressful. I finally felt connected to my own energy.”

The truth for many of us is that maybe we are stuck in familiarity with disconnection and stress that we forgot what peace, stillness or contentment or even our own energy feels like.

I personally feel like breathing has guided me back to these senses. It has grounded my body in my ability to shift out of uncertainty and chaos to contentment and trust.

Anyone else notice this for themselves? Would you try this?

Happy Earth Day Beautiful Beings! 🌎🌍🌏

May we be reminded of the incredible home we live on, provider of nutrients, support, art and so much more.

When I am feeling lost and disconnected my favorite thing to bring me back to nature is to BREATHE 🌬️.

It’s a sure fire way to remind me of all the beauty and wonder that surrounds me.

How do you connect and honor nature?

🌝 Anyone else have an intense full moon this weekend? 🌕

I usually don’t share about my experiences so soon after the event but this one feels different. This is my personal experience, take it or leave it. 💥

A strong urge to pivot and purge a flood of emotions came up this weekend. I can’t remember the last time I’ve cried so much. So many thoughts going through my mind, self-doubt, grief, and vocalizing what hasn’t been heard. It was a cathartic experience. 🌪️

In the moment, the emotions just wanted to be witnessed. I didn’t really have a need to resolve anything. I felt safe to release. It felt welcome to embrace the sadness 🧸

When I was over, I had an overwhelming sense that some things needed to change. I felt like I had been under some kind of spell to perform and hold back my my authenticity. To suppress my intuition and keep going. 🪞

Was it my ego, trying to keep me safe? Was it a colonist, capitalist culture telling me it needed to be a certain way, at their time? I don’t know but what I do know is that I have been librated. 💫

I have been given the choice to stay the same or to push the limits, set my own rules and step into the unknown. Embrace a new sense of fearlessness and experimentation. This is my playground and I want to share it with you. 🎠

I no longer what to play small, worrying about what others might think. I am here to express my own version of this human experience. Sometimes slow, steady, messy. Other times well designed, written and eloquent. I want to play more and take life seriously less. I want to embrace my childlike nature, curious, playful, bold and brilliant. ✨

I’m still figuring out exacting what this means for the future but I know that I will be doing it my way 💪🏽

🚩Using Your Practice To Avoid Your feelings 🚩

When I was early in my journey, I definitely used to use my practice to avoid feeling challenging emotions. It can be a “healthier coping tool” for relief than alcohol, scrolling social media or bingeing on TV. 📺

However, there are some fantastic tools out there that do help us express challenging emotions in health ways. We just weren’t taught them when we were going up. 🌪️

One of my favorites, the primal scream. 😮‍💨

I’ve stockpiled my favorite tools and packaged them into extra resources in the Rhythms Of The Breath program. Along with so many of the resources from my favorite podcasts, books, websites and apps to help you on your journey. Knowledge is power. And the more you know the better you are able to support yourself and the less scary the journey.🌱

📣 No tools however, are better than professional help from a Mental Health Professional. This course is not here to replace treatment or diagnosis. 🙅🏽‍♀️

This course is a great supplement to your work with a Mental Health Professional. There’s no shame in asking for help. We all need a team of experienced people on our side as we navigate the ebbs and flows of life. 🌊

If you’re looking for tools to manage your daily stress and anxiety through holistic practices, look no further than the Rhythms of the Breath to help support you on your journey.

We start Sunday February 25th. There are 6 spaces left. Registration closes at midnight Friday. ✨💕
