Return to your primordial nature, Feel the rustling under your barren feet, As they become revitalized, charged, full. Allow your feet to grow and sink, As roots would. Sense the transpiring of an electromagnetic exchange, And in effect, Founded equilibrium of your physical and energetic body. In connecting with the Earth, You connect to yourself. Seek Mother Earth; Seek Yourself. ? ? ✨ . ? @kaylynn_nelson #yogini #njyogacollective #practiceandalliacoming #myyogajourney #yoga #yogagirl #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeverywhere #yogagoals #practicedaily #yogaphotography #yogainspiration #yogafun #yogapose #yogapractice #yogalove #yogalife #myyogalife #yogacommunity #feeltheyogahigh #yogaaddict #yogachallenge #instayoga #poetryofinstagram #inspiredyogis #yogisofinstagram #njyoga #writing #poetry #awareness

Day 5 of  #12DaysofAsana twisted down dog ? . Begin in a slightly shorter downward facing dog and shift the weight into your right arm, pick up you left hand and grab onto your outer right shin. You can bend your elbow to deepen the stretch. Stay for a few breaths and then switch sides. . . As always be safe & listen to your body! Check out my co-hosts pages for their variations! ? ? @nikkicolella Outfit @liquidoactive Mat @liforme Mala @tinydevotions . . ?Hosts: @kaelyn_siversky @nikkicolella @sweat.in.gold @shanti_love10 .

People ask me “why” I do yoga all the time. Sometimes I come up with an answer that sounds inspiring and teacher-esque. But my deepest truth is this: yoga makes me happy. Every single day. #happyplace | @k.deer pants also make me happy ?❤️ #njyogacollective

We don't do it often but we should. As we begin to close out the year, we need to sit a reflect. Last night, I was giving a brief lecture on one of the Niyamas- Santosha (Contentment). Santosha basically challenges you to remain in a state of gratitude, which is the opposite of desire or lack. It is in a state of gratitude that we can bring in our blessings, foster growth. We do not need things to be different because our experiences have shaped us. I look at this picture and think… "Girl… You are one Badass! THIS is what it looks like to be 46 years old. THIS is what it looks like to be healthy and curvy. THIS is what it looks like to be a woman who has desire, passion, drive, and is in union of all that she is and embodies… I unapologetically always stand in my truth… THEREFORE, I AM YOGA." #latinayogi #latina #yogaschool #yogateachertraining #lohud #yonkersny #njyoga #njyogacollective #yogainspiration #bronxyoga #bronxyogis #nyyogalifemagazine #latina #latinastrong #setucommunity #proudtobelatina #latinasunited #boricua #trainwithus #boricuayogi #nuyoricanyogi #yoga #robertsturman #mannyvegaart

Yesterday I was tagged in two yogis’ photo captions after my morning at the studio, one right after the other in my notifications. One of them started with “Stopped for a moment…” and the other with “Took a break from…” and it just made me smile at the similarity. Today might be Monday, but these little yoga breaks can always be available to you. Take time for yourself today, to pause, listen to your body, and give yourself whatever it is you need, even if that just means to close your eyes and focus on your breath for a little while. ✨ #MindfulMonday . And if you’re looking for that break to be a little longer, like say an hour long hot flow class, join me at @tulayoga tonight at 7:45! ? . . .
