18 years ago, you came into this world and made my heart bigger than I ever knew it could be.

And now, somehow, my baby is 18. 🤍

Adison, watching you become who you are has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. Strong, beautiful, determined, independent, and completely your own person.

Yoga teaches us that our children are not ours to hold onto. We are here to love them, guide them, walk beside them for a while, and eventually trust them to follow their own path.

That last part isn’t always easy for a mom. 😊

As you step into this next chapter, my wish for you is simple: trust yourself. Listen to that quiet voice inside you. Choose the people and places that bring you closer to who you really are. And always know that no matter where life takes you, you will always have a home, a safe place to land, and a mom who loves you beyond measure.

Happy 18th birthday, Adison. I love you more than words could ever hold. ❤️ by @chiefyogini

Awwwww Adison Turco something beautifully yogic about this moment….last night a new chapter for my girl, and a new practice for me.

Aparigraha!!! to love without holding too tightly. To trust that what we’ve nurtured is ready to grow in its own direction. And to remember that letting go doesn’t mean loving less. I’m practicing that lesson a little more deeply. 🤍

May you trust yourself.
May you stay rooted in who you are.
May you meet this next chapter with curiosity, courage, and an open heart.

And may you always know that wherever life takes you, you carry a piece of home within you.

There are places on Earth that stay with you forever.

Egypt is one of them.

It is a land that doesn’t simply ask you to see it…
It asks you to remember who you are.

Every temple, every sunrise over the Nile, every sacred space has transformed something within me. It has challenged me, awakened me, and reminded me of a version of myself I didn’t know was waiting.

Now, I have the honor of returning—not just to Egypt, but with a small group of people who feel the call to experience it for themselves.

This isn’t about checking a destination off a bucket list.
It’s about answering something that’s been whispering to you.

✨ If Egypt has ever pulled at your heart…
✨ If you’ve felt there is more waiting for you…
✨ If you’re curious about what this journey could become…

Join us for our FREE Egypt Retreat Information Session
🗓 This Thursday
🕢 7:30 PM

Come hear the vision, ask your questions, and discover why this journey has the power to change more than your passport.

Sometimes the greatest journeys begin with simply saying yes.
10% off till 7/31 ✨🎉

Some things are simply received.

Time with Adi who is becoming a remarkable young woman. (Miss u meema)

Conversations without an agenda.

Walking without a destination.

Watching the sun disappear into the Mediterranean without reaching for my phone.

Italy has a way of reminding you that presence is its own form of abundance.

Maybe the greatest luxury isn’t where we travel.

Maybe it’s finally having enough stillness to experience where we already are. taken in Ischia, Italy by @chiefyogini

Congratulations, my beautiful girl. I love you beyond words, and I couldn’t be prouder of who you are becoming. May you always trust your inner compass, honor your truth, and remember that your light was never meant to fit into the world….it was meant to help illuminate it. Be a lighthouse! by @chiefyogini

This morning I was at the gym working on handstands when an older gentleman walked over, watched for a moment, and then casually kicked up into a handstand.
And held it… longer than mine … lol
Afterward, he introduced himself as Paul Budline.

I learned that he is the current Guinness World Record holder for the oldest person to perform a handstand. On May 5, 2025, at 74 years he set the record after recovering from hip surgery. Even more inspiring, he has reportedly been practicing handstands daily for more than 50 years!

What struck me wasn’t the record itself.
It was the reminder that extraordinary results are rarely the product of extraordinary moments. They are the result of ordinary actions repeated consistently over time.

One handstand a day.
One workout at a time.
One practice at a time.
One choice at a time.

I have a smile in my face today because I know from my own practice that the goal isn’t just to live longer.
The goal is to remain capable, vibrant, curious, and strong throughout our lives.

Today’s reminder: consistency compounds. The person you become 10, 20, or 50 years from now is being shaped by the choices we make today.
Keep showing up. by @chiefyogini
