flow and sculpt with me, weekly @ymca_charlestown & with FLX @residencesatwinthropcenter! by @flow.with.hope

Hi everyone! Welcome to @flow.with.hope!

I am excited to use this space to share my experiences as a yoga instructor and celebrate movement together!

A little about me and my yoga journey: After earning my 200 HR RYT in 2021, I taught vinyasa style yoga for several years, mainly focusing on mindful movement, guided meditations, and inner-stillness. Recently, while living out west, I decided it was time to add in some strength so I completed my 50 HR Yoga Sculpt at CorePower in Seattle, WA!

After a few year hiatus from teaching and completing my master’s @brownpublichealth, I am so excited to be back and teaching yoga/yoga sculpt throughout New England!

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned thus far is that our greatest strength is built in moments of stillness and that there is a deep stillness within our strength—a beautiful combo of traditional yoga and yoga sculpt that I hope to bring to your mats!

Follow along to learn with me; I’m so grateful you’re here :) by @flow.with.hope

I’ve gathered together some of the most impactful books and authors I’ve come to know and love over the years.

May their words inspire you, as they have inspired me, to live a life that mirrors our mat.

Swipe to learn more —>

Journey to the Heart by Melody Beattie is a testament to love, loss, and all the small moments in between. Melody wrote the majority of this book while on a cross country road trip, seeking peace and respite as she navigated grief and trauma. She offers daily meditations, 365 days worth, to illustrate that love, joy, loss, and pain, are all the same. In a world inundated by so much heaviness, her journey teaches her (us) that the human experience is quite rich—that two things can exist at once, and that there is room for spiritual renewal even during times of unquestionable uncertainty.

Signs by Laura Lynne Jackson and Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom explore the depths of grief and creatively remind us that we are all connected.

Signs helped me feel connected to the invisible but very much real world around me. After losing a loved one, Signs taught me that love does not end with loss, it just changes how we give and receive it.

Tuesdays with Morrie grounded me in the profound reality that we are all we have. Time with each other is the most important and raw experience we have as humans, and it is a gift that should be shared, documented, and honored as sacred.

Signs and Tuesdays with Morrie are not your traditional yoga books that teach you how to hold a pose for impressively long lengths or how to float above your mat. These two books are stark and simple reminders of what the whole point of being alive is about—togetherness in all forms. And to me, that is yoga.

Untethered Soul and The Yamas and Niyamas are two books that helped me understand the historical underpinnings of yoga and the guiding principles of a life on and off the mat. I’d recommend these two books to someone seeking ways to better understand the connection between mind, body, and spirit, especially from a philosophical and ethical standpoint. by @flow.with.hope

our senses are deepened when we travel. We become more aware of our surroundings and tune into how we feel. I saw, I felt, and I was surrounded by so much light on my recent journey.

getting out of our routine can help us slow down enough to notice where we are—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

✨there is light all around and within all of us. ✨

Stay tuned for my fall teaching schedule :) by @flow.with.hope

The spiral has become a reoccurring symbol in my life. It serves as a reminder that no path is linear, and that our paths mirror those of nature. We are all connected, learning, growing, and expanding—together, as one collective.

In my yoga practice this past week, an instructor told us that our “bodies are vehicles for relief.” He said suffering is inevitable. It is a guaranteed part of the human experience. Our bodies, however, are our vehicles for relief.

How can we soften? How can we relieve suffering through our bodies?

…movement, collective breath, and community all help us continue on our spiral. I believe that our bodies are designed to carry us through these ever-evolving inward and outward journeys.

My hope is to use my yoga practice and yoga teaching as a foundation—a landscape—for us to relieve suffering through movement and breath.

#yoga #mantra #mindfulness by @flow.with.hope

Presence—to be where your feet are physically and mentally.

…this has been the intention I offer at the start of each class for the past few weeks. Presence. Oftentimes (me most of the time) our mind is in a million places at once. Rarely is our mind exactly where our feet are.

Teaching yoga and sculpt has confronted me head on with the reality that most of our yoga practice happens off of the mat.

Breath. Collective movement. Noticing the micro joys of each day. These are all ways yoga—on and off the mat—have helped me be where my feet are.

I offer you this mantra as a reminder to practice yoga everywhere! To embody presence is such a gift.

…and all these beautiful yogis in these photos are proof and a reminder to me that presence heals. Presence meets us exactly where we are. And oh how wonderful that is!

May & June: a celebration of love, friendship, and the joy of movement 🤸🏽‍♀️

I’ve been thinking a lot about yoga meaning “to yoke” and how transformative collective breath and posture can be.

Cheers to more movement this summer!! ☀️

what a gift to sculpt in the sun!

…oh, and movement is definitely magic!

Mountain Pose (Tadasana) — the perfect embodiment of spring 🌸

…Tadasana has us ground down through all four corners of our feet while simultaneously lengthening, reaching the crown of our head up towards the sky to create one long line of energy.

The first signs of growth happen beneath the surface, invisible to the eye but felt deeply.

🌸🌸🌸

Stay tuned for more sculpt and flow opportunities coming this spring and summer! :)

It’s a “yoga practice” and not a “yoga perfect” for a reason💡✨

…rewinding through some of my most unaesthetic moments in my current yoga practice that makes it all worthwhile.

sometimes yoga happens off the mat too! 🧘🏻‍♀️

…I experienced outdoor contrast therapy for the first time while living in Washington (@fyresauna ) and immediately fell in love with it! Alternating between hot and cold temperatures has some amazing health benefits for both our mind and body. Most notably, it helps me come back to my breath—an element of yoga we have no matter where our mat may be.

…very grateful to have experienced @firewatch_sauna here in MA with some lovely friends 🔥❄️ by @flow.with.hope
