Thinking, Connecting, Learning, and Growing – Our Most Inspired IG Moments of the Week

We decided to get our LEARN on this week, New Jersey + IG style.

Here are the posts that taught us something new, shared inspiration that helped us grow, and totally helped us channel something special in our classes.

First up – a little bit of Mala love, plus an invite to an amazing workshop at Honor Yoga North Brunswick.

The Mala is a strand of beads traditionally used for counting during meditations. Today, many yogis wear their Mala as a necklace or bracelet as a reminder of their personal and spiritual intentions. Join Krista Lynn Eggering, Spiritual Facilitator and Jewelry Designer for this fun inspiring workshop. Each person will individually make a Mala Necklace (using wood beads and semi precious stones), talk about the meaning of a Mala Necklace, the spiritual qualities of gemstones, mantras and healing techniques through the Mala. While beading, Krista will also guide participants through a reflective reading using the Doreen Virtue Healing With The Angels Oracle Cards. Beautiful beads of spiritual quality will be provided to create your personal Mala necklace. Please bring a journal and pen if you wish to take notes.

And now, onto a moment of getting real. raise your hand if you’ve had that moment of “My belly. Out and about for Instagram to see.”

Vulnerable moment: When I first saw this photo, I thought "There's no way I'm posting that! Look at my belly!" And then a wise friend (@rannarae) said "I love that photo with your belly." So here it is. My belly. Out and about for Instagram to see. I'm not what I imagined a yoga teacher to look like. I'm thick. I've got a big butt and a belly roll. But that doesn't change how much I love teaching and practicing yoga! So why should I care? Can anyone relate to the struggle? #mywords #myyogajourney #yogadaily #yogateacher #yogabody #myyogabody #phillyareayoga #newjerseyyoga #njyoga #njyogacollective #yogaforeverybody #yogaforall #yogaforbeginners #myyogalife #yogajunkie #yogagram #beagoddess #beyourself #thestruggle #selfimage #bebrave #letitallhangout #thickyoga #thickandcurvy #curvygirlsrock #curvygirl #curvywomen #curvyyoga

This information is SO good! What vibe do you need? What do you want?

View this post on Instagram

Vibes, vibes, vibes. It’s such an overused word right now, but the truth of the matter is that understanding and working with vibrations is potent medicine. What some may refer to as vibes can also be referred to as spirit, energy, essence. Everything has its own and when we begin to notice how they interact together and with us, it’s as if we have some superpower (yep, and it’s called presence and intuition). When we begin shifting our lives and begin healing, we can feel the need to avoid anything with “bad vibes” and while this can be important boundary setting, we also must recognize that vibes shift and allow everyone and everything to be as they need to be in this moment. .
