I haven’t posted in a while so here’s a little summary Costa Rica style! 🦥⁣
⁣
✨Traveled to the Osa for my birthday⁣
✨Visited the magical BaliRica⁣
✨Got hit by a wave and a tree⁣
✨Teaching yoga always⁣
✨Meditating every damn day⁣
✨Falling in love⁣
✨Coconut Oil = Less Mosquitos ⁣
✨Saw crocodiles. Didn’t like it. ⁣
✨Snuggling Nala Always ⁣
✨Dreaming out this beautiful life ⁣
⁣
And today at 430PM I’m teaching Full Moon Flow @encantadacr ⁣
⁣
Let’s come together as community and move with the moon and who we are! 🌜🌝🌛⁣
⁣
Love love and all the Costa Rica glitter to you all! 🌸

The universe wants to hold you, please let it. @yo

The universe wants to hold you, please let it. @yoga_girl ⁣
⁣
Reminder to self:⁣
It is okay to receive.⁣
⁣
A beautiful friend gifted me with guidance this evening.🔮⁣
⁣
So I’m writing this to say thank you for the beautiful gift and the opportunity to receive. 🙏⁣
⁣
I realized that I haven’t been sharing much lately because I’m moving through a lot at the moment. 🤸🏼‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
I’ve been feeling lost yet found more and more each day while juggling a health issue I never thought I would experience. 😝⁣
⁣
Turns out you can eat all the veggies, meditate and make all the shapes with your body and still get sick occasionally. 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
I’m really thankful for where I’m at on my journey and the plant paradise I get to teach in everyday. ⁣
⁣
I’m learning hard lessons right now and I’ve decided on a global level that I don’t like this pandemic. And that I can live and teach in paradise yet still be upset at pandemics. ❌⁣
⁣
It’s a thing. And it’s okay. 👌🏼⁣
⁣
It’s okay to have such beauty in our lives yet deal with the heaviness of being human at the same time. ⁣
⁣
So many people in my life right now are experiencing loss on some level and I just want to say I see you and I’m moving and breathing with you. ⁣
⁣
Life is hard right now for everyone on different levels and mindsets and I just hope that we’re all being extra kind to ourselves. 🥰⁣
⁣
What a beautiful life with occasional (or sometimes many) hard moments we all get to BE and love through.❤️⁣
⁣
I don’t have much else to say right now except this:⁣
⁣
You are supported.⁣
You are held.⁣
You are loved.⁣
You are loved.⁣
You are loved. ⁣
⁣
And that’s all that matters.💞

WHITE SUPREMACY IN YOGA ‼️‼️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

WHITE SUPREMACY IN YOGA ‼️‼️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I want to write something wise, inspiring and powerful, but all I can fathom and share right now is that it’s wrong to travel to other countries and take their cultures and heritage with us as an experience and then stay silent in the face of white supremacy. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s wrong to use terms like “Namaste” in our yoga classes while people from the country where this word originated are harassed, abused or murdered for living true to their culture and saying and using this word correctly when so many Westerners say and use it in a way that disrespects a country and culture or even worse profit from it. ❌⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s wrong to take what we want from a country and culture and then say nothing when a white man kills people from a country and people we ultimately profited from. ❌⁣⁣
⁣⁣
MY YOGA TEACHERS 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏾‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏿‍♂️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Are we talking about social equity and justice in our yoga classes?🗣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Are we teaching about white supremacy in yoga and how to eliminate it in our teacher trainings? ⁣⁣🗣
⁣⁣
Are we having those uncomfortable conversations when a student or teachers does or says something racist in front of us? 🗣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Are we using our voice and movement to uplift ALL communities and not just those with white privilege?
⁣⁣
Tell me ⬇️ below ⬇️ how you are using your privilege as a yoga teacher to be anti-racist and stand up for people who do not look, speak or move like you.🦿🦾🦻🏼👩🏿‍🦯🧘🏽‍♀️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Let’s inspire each other by using our voices for good and telling white supremacy that it has NO place in the yoga industry. 🚫🗣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Are you with me my yoga loves?🙋‍♀️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Are you ready to say fuck white supremacy and do everything in your power and privilege to defeat this in the yoga industry and outside of it too?🙋🏽‍♀️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Drop me a 🔥 then tell me what you’re doing to be an example of anti-racism in your yoga community. ⬇️

Did you know my dream is to open a yoga hostel? 🙋‍♀️🧘‍♀️🌎 ⁣
⁣
Not only do I want to open this magical space, I want to give back and serve! 🙏⁣
⁣
My dream is to serve immigrants and refugees all while holding space for travelers and yogis.⁣
⁣
I have it all written out in detail so I can speak it into existence everyday. ❤️⁣
⁣
This month, I’m giving myself permission to speak and move my dream into existence. 🤸🏼‍♀️⁣

T R A V E L A N X I E T Y 😱⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

T R A V E L A N X I E T Y 😱⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This is so real and for the first time in six years I’m experiencing it. 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
✈️ I arrived in Panama and the country was on lockdown. I’m talking cops and the army outside pulling anyone over and searching bags inside the vehicle. I’m talking the inability to get food because nothing was open and no one was allowed outside. ⁣👀 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
✨I miss Costa Rica so much and my beautiful boyfriend. I have this crazy fear that I won’t get back into the country I love and be in the arms of the person I love. Crazy fear I know, but it makes me lose sleep. ⁣🤪⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🦠COVID is a mental health crisis and we aren’t talking about it at all. My mental health is struggling. My depression and anxiety have come back in full swing multiple times over the past year and I know we ALL can relate to this. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
So what do I when the world feels like chaos and my mind follows?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🧘🏼‍♀️ I sit and breathe deep⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
💪 I move my body ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👁 I look for the magic ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🧠 I silence my mind ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
❤️I open my heart ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Earth happens to be my favorite planet and I’m sure it’s yours too. 🌍 ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
We’re just going through a global healing and the best part is that we’re healing together. 🥰⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Keep traveling. Keep loving.⁣⁣⁣
Let yourself feel and heal.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Because feeling is healing and we could all use more healing.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Love love love you all! 💚⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Next stop: Costa Rica📍🇨🇷 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
P.S. Panama is absolutely worth traveling to especially Panama City! Don’t ever let one travel experience take the beauty away from a country! 🇵🇦

I once believed love was black and white but it’s golden 💛⁣
⁣
I’m falling in love and I want to share this adventure but maybe just maybe I’ll keep it mine. ☀️⁣
⁣
What is falling in love?⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s sitting across the table from your future lover and meeting their soul on a rainy night in Costa Rica. ⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s having to quarantine for the first time together and not knowing how it will go, but then it goes beautifully all while you’re trying to survive this crazy life.⁣
⁣
Or maybe it’s figuring out my relationship blocks and being loved MORE because I’m human and deserve to be loved in all of my moments.⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s ferry ride adventures that end in hostel pizza places on a late night in a town we don’t know. 🍕 ⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s trust and truth and humanity and nothing I ever dreamed of but everything my heart needed. 😍⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s arguing and disagreeing, but at the end of the day knowing that I am his and he is mine and we are us and our love is what they wrote books about and shouted off of mountaintops.📚⁣
⁣
WE. What a word I never thought I would use yet here we are loving this magical life together. 🙏⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s learning that I have growing to do and having someone there to support me in it. Yeah. That’s it. 🥰⁣
⁣
I’m so damn happy that I don’t even have a word to explain the human I’m becoming. 🌞⁣
⁣
He makes my entire being feel loved and I can’t wait to love him for all the days to come.⁣
I can’t wait. 💖⁣
⁣
Okay the end, but actually it’s just the beginning of a love that is so powerful it will set the whole world on fire and then put it out.⁣
⁣
Darling you are my lover. 🔥🌍
