Recently, I have been having important conversations with dear friends about mental health. . When we busy ourselves with work & responsibilities, our energy can be easily depleted. Often we find ourselves lacking proper sleep, and forgetting to eat healthy so it is inevitable that we feel affected mentally. . I have experienced burnout a number of times - it shows up like depression, anxiety, or irritability. There is an interesting article circulating right now that speaks to fitting less into our day so we can improve our creative flow. Check it out in my #linkinbio under "Food for Thought". . It's okay to feel like crap every once in a while, 'tis the beauty of balance. When the scale tips in favour of darkness for too long, reach out to your tribe - the people who "get you" so you can talk it out. The answers don't come quickly, but they do come. I promise. . Self-love is all fine and good, but if your light is burnt out, the support of your community can guide you out of the darkness. . If you need it, let me be your light - send a DM and I can support you as best I can, or at the very least be someone you can vent to.

My friend @growinchangin shared this artist's work and I couldn't be more in awe. . When was the last time someone's art made you stop and take notice?

The importance of cross training is not commonly instilled in yoga teacher training or in a yoga classroom. In fact, it is often understood that #yogaeverydamnday should be the norm. From a physical standpoint, solely practicing yoga or any modality where your range of motion is limited to a certain plane on a day-to-day basis can cause injury in the long run. This is why you hear about football players practicing ballet. . In 2015, 90% of my schedule was teaching aerial yoga. Without hesitation, I would demonstrate poses to help my students understand where to take their bodies. This made me very limber. One day, laying on my side in bed working on my laptop, I sat up and something moved in my hip. I couldn't stand up without a lot of pain. That night, I tried to use a foam roller to work whatever flipped out of place in my hip back into place. Things got worse. I couldn't stand up straight. It hurt to walk. After seeing a sports medicine doctor, I learned that my sacrum was out of place. This is now a common occurrence for me. . While I love yoga because of how it's helped heal emotionally, spiritually, and mentally, I understand that I must be critical of my physical practice to prevent injury so I can continue to feel balanced and healthy. . To support my yoga practice, I have included weight training to build strength in opposing muscles groups used in yoga, along with short sprints to improve cardio health. . My advice for every movement enthusiast is to keep an open mind to the introduction of new modalities in your fitness regime. Find balance in ALL that you do for your mind, body, and soul. . #livebreatheyoga with a #patientpractice

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 (1.5 min read) . Not gonna lie. I am a hopeless romantic. Doesn't matter if my heart has gone through the heartache it has, I still believe that a soul quenching, romantic love exists. Always have, always will. However as I have become more seasoned, the way I accept love has evolved significantly. . Over the summer, I went on a date and we shared stories about our friends, our families. After a while, he brought up an interesting observation. He smiled as I beamed about the amazing people in my life and said, "Wow, you don't need a boyfriend." He continued saying that everyone in my life treats me so well, that any man that tries to enter my life would have to outdo what my friends and family do for my heart, my mind and my soul. . It's true. I have the best people in my life and I don't need a boyfriend. To have shared a perfect love with someone and to let go of it out of respect and love for one another is a game changer. While I would love to share a relationship with someone, I have zero intentions of settling for less than what I deserve. . When a woman puts real time and real work into healing herself from the turbulence within, red flags in potential suitors are minded immediately. 🚩Insecurity, 🚩low emotional intelligence, 🚩commitment issues 🚩 poor health choices - these are just an example of the things that can be picked up within the first couple of dates. Ain't nobody got time for that. Love yourself hard before you venture out to find a partner. . All I know is, when romantic love re-enters my life, he's going to be loved back by a Queen. . #neversettle 📸 @basem.salieem

It is remarkable what our bodies can do when we make time to explore movement. . There was a gym that I used to teach yoga at where, during the day, we had a core group of students who were 65 yrs + up. They were my favourite students because they were dedicated to their practice in such a way that made the 20 yr olds that came to my class feel intimidated. . One of my students shared with me that the reason there was such a high population of senior members is because they were all retired and had made friends at the gym so it's where they would go to socialize. Brilliant, right? . Do you remember a time in your life when you were stronger? Or even when you could access a wider range of motion? How awesome would it feel to explore your range of motion? Remember, you don't have to be flexible to do yoga and you don't have to be strong to weight train. These practices help you get there and there are a TON of yoga & fitness instructors who are waiting get you on your way. .
