This quote has been coming up again and again this week. And it's so simple and so obvious, but it's something I have to remind myself of all too often. . I know it's not just me, though. Because I scroll through IG and see people portraying themselves a certain way and it seems like it's just to get approval or validation from others. It's okay to fall into that trap from time to time (like getting into an advanced pose & sharing it on social media – guilty!🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️), but if you're acting a different way on social media than you do in your real life, then something is wrong. You're only doing yourself a disservice by not being authentically you. . But it's not just on social media that this issue occurs. Tell us you haven't replayed a moment in your head a thousand times when you wish you said, did, acted a different way to avoid embarrassment. How many of us can think of a time where you wanted to share your opinion, but maybe the company you were with made you think twice and hold back? How many times have you not done something or not dated someone or not texted someone back or not stood up for something because of the fear of how other people would see you or what they would say? News Flash: WHO CARES?! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ . Every time I catch myself stuck in that mindset of worrying about what's in other people's heads, I am reminded that it doesn't matter. In the wise words of Dr. Suess, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." HEARD. THAT. . Let's share a little love 💕 and support with the people who are rocking exactly who they are, just as they are.

T H A N K G O D D E S S… – practicing gratitude has been a game changer. Practicing and teaching yoga has helped me on the journey from feeling fear and jealousy to being inspired and grateful for the incredible people in my life and opportunities that way my way. It has even helped me take risks I would not have 10 or 15 years ago. – Along with by gratitude for your love and support and I have FREE AUDIO CLASSES ON MY WEBSITE. They are perfect if you want to be led through a guided asana or meditation practice, can't make it to the studio, or are traveling. My flight attendant students love them!

Little dense chocolate mouthfuls of yum. Perfect bites for a #catering #saturday. Gluten free, but that’s not why we eat the- Its the luscious #callebaut chocolate with whipped organic eggs and espresso. . . . . . #spoonfeed #getinmybelly #forkyeah #yum

A little somethin' called effort and ease helps find that moment of balance. Both Dani and Anna teach tomorrow! Catch one or both classes! Or maybe even josh! Classes start 8am Saturday!
