#Repost @nextlevelom ・・・ Feeling safe and secure through poses like this is what Acro Yoga is all about. In it, we practice: . 🔹 Trust // this is strengthened within your partner, and within yourself as you engage and explore points of contact . 🔹 Communication // we ask for what we need from our partner in order to find the right connection 🔹 Respect // we each have the right and the power to say, "down" or "this doesn't feel good" . A consistent Acro Yoga practice helps to strengthen these values outside the classroom to help us in our day-to-day. . Explore Acro yoga with us in Costa Rica this December 2-7 at the @danyasa_yoga_retreat 🌴 . . . . . #nextlevelom #acroyoga #acroyogalove #aerialyoga #supyoga #natureheals #livebreatheyoga #partneryoga #livelifeblissfully #naturelovers

(2 minute read) The words we choose to express ourselves will change as we grow. Our vocabulary becomes greater, our knowledge becomes broader... And I accept that I will continue encounter moments of learning. . Last year during a workshop, I suggested that my students tap into their "Spirit Animal" as part of an exercise. A bright and kind student/friend took time to educate me after the class about this term. That it is an indigenous ceremony practiced by some, not all tribes, wherein an animal spirit is bestowed upon a tribe member through sacred ritual. It is not an online quiz or something one can bestow upon oneself. From that day, I have excluded the term from my vocabulary in the context of exercise/game playing. I try to share my learnings each time "Spirit Animal" comes up in a misguided situation. . There are words and phrases that were once jovial among friends but as our society awakens to more love and kindness, we learn that what we once said can be harmful, hurtful or offensive. . Are you aware of the words you choose to express yourself? Do the words "gay" or "retarded" come up loosely in conversation? Can you broaden your language to adopt words and phrases that do not hurt or offend? Do you have the courage/strength to share what you have learned with others if these words are expressed in your presence? . I personally struggle with the latter. When I hear friends or colleagues choose such words, I find myself waiting for an opportune moment to share my learnings. Only to find that I have waited too long and the conversation has changed or ended. If anyone has tips on how to approach these lessons more effectively, please share in the comments below. .

The type that helps you build a relationship with yourself so strong that you begin to find solace in your own company. For me, it's yoga. . What kind of movement practice brings you closer to who you are?

Sunsets in Sayulita . If chasing sunsets around the world were a job, please sign me up. They are absolutely breathtaking. The sky, the water, and this earth never cease to amaze me with their beauty. They inspire gratitude from within. . Grateful for my health, my family, my friends. Grateful for the love I have shared and the lessons I've learned. Grateful for understanding that the clouds will part after any storm. Grateful for knowing my worth and choosing to never settle. .

Take that leap of faith. . It's true that as we become more seasoned, and as years pass the idea of change can become daunting. We can get set in our ways and settle for routine. We can feel more cautious and perhaps fear or a sense of responsibility prevents us from "living the dream". . What if we took a chance? What if we shook things up? What if living the dream can be made closer to reality than we think? . Take that leap, friends. What is the worse that can happen? You learn more lessons? You grow? You become closer to who you want to be? . #hanumanasana

Time flies Spend it wisely

We bend so we don't break. ~ I once saw this quote about a woman's strength and ability to adapt but I think that everyone can relate to it. . In the book by Viktor Frankl, "Man's Search for Meaning" he writes, "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." This allows us to dive a little deeper beyond the opening line of this post. This incredible book chronicles the author's experience in concentration camps during World War II. In it, he describes the method he used to identify a purpose to feel positively about and imagining what it would be like to embody that outcome. Another quote from his book that is referenced often in personal development books today is: . "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." . Whatever situation we are in, we can look to the future, near or far, for something even more positive. We can let go of any negative thoughts, anger, or resentment that weigh us down today, so we can feel lighter tomorrow. . How do you bend so you do not break? . 📸: @millertimeyoga

There are the 5 stages of grief and how they can potentially show up according to the Kübler-Ross Grief Cycle: . 🔹Denial / avoidance, confusion, elation, shock, fear 🔹 Anger / frustration, irritation, anxiety 🔹 Bargaining / struggling to find meaning, reaching out to others, telling ones story 🔹 Depression / overwhelmed, helplessness, hostility, flight 🔹 Acceptance / exploring options, new plan in place, moving on . Often we only recognize these stages after we have gone through them. Sometimes not at all. This is okay. Just know the sadness doesn't last forever, the heart will feel strong again and acceptance will come in due time. . Here's to acceptance 🍫 . #Repost @ryanpernofski ・・・ it’s been this kinda week...

ℙ𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕝𝕖 𝔽𝕝𝕠𝕨 . . . This program features the skills and movements of traditional Filipino folk dances to complement a yoga or movement practice. . Pictured here is the "Singkil (pronounced "sing-keel") Fan Series. The techniques used for fan play: . 🔸warms up the wrist & shoulder joints 🔸 strengthens the forearm and shoulders 🔸 builds endurance and stamina in the upper body . The basic fan play technique used in this series is what the soloist does in the folk dance called "Singkil". This story has many versions, but the one I am most drawn to is the one about the princess lost in the forest who gracefully traverses the shakey path of fallen bamboo during a storm. . 📸 @mariaiscelphotography 🎨 @mango_peeler 📍 @lululemonto
