Happy 1 year on T! ✨👾🧚‍♂️💐 A year ago I had tiny lil eyebrows, a bob, and was halfway through Invisalign.

It’s been a beautiful journey. And a great excuse for a selfie dump :3 by @yoga.goblin

I started lifting seriously in 2024. We had just come back from finally visiting Brasil together, after many years of navigating American citizenship for my wife, and right in the middle of a post-B*lsonaro presidency. We were safe, at home, and felt like we could finally explore the city that my wife grew up in.

Now two years into my fitness journey, and the 1st round of the general elections in Brasil is over. And with it, our heart sinks. I feel disheartened, but at the same time I feel fueled.

Fascism wants discouragement. Fascism wants disregulation. Fascism wants you to be weak.

Strength gives you confidence. Strength gives you freedom. Strength gives you what you need to push on.

That being said, strength need not come from lifting. Strength is mental, spiritual, physical. You can decide what being strong means to you. 🫶🏽

With Autumn leaves falling and a new season incoming, how are your joints doing? The cold can bring about some pains and discomforts, so why not adapt your yoga practice to give your joints a break!

Here’s a few ways in which I modify my practice on the days my hands are feeling extra sensitive. I invite you to explore them all, even the ones that aren’t my favorites. One or another might feel better in your body than in mine!

What’s your favorite modification?

Showing up for yourself sometimes feels like half the struggle. For those days, I take it slow and steady. In the end, what matters is that I got a chance to move and have a mind, body, and spirit connection. Have you moved your body today? 🫶🏽🧘🏽🌸💫

“Sadhana means spiritual discipline. It implies a dual aspect that the discipline itself is the fulfillment. Like a drop of water eventually shapes a rock, the consistency of practice over a period of time brings the change and fulfillment. Sadhana is the consistency of our daily practice.“ - Deborah Adele, The Yamas and Niyamas

Feeling a little tight after hours of tending to your Stardew Valley crops? Maybe a bit of chair yoga can provide some relief! Here’s a few of the stretches you can do to move your body when it’s been maybe one too many hours on the computer.

With this I’ve only scratched the surface of the many yoga poses you can do with a chair. Have you ever tried chair yoga?

Feel like you want to deepen your dancer’s pose? Here are 5 poses/sequences that might help you get there! What we aim to feel is engagement in our legs, deep stretch in the front body, and lightness as we practice our balancing.

Have you tried any of these poses? Let me know what you think!

PS. Anyone else excited for hoodie season?

Rise and grind ❌ Rise and stretch ✅
Take a moment this morning to move your body before clocking in. You deserve five good minutes to stretch and relax before starting your day. Your nervous system will thank you 🌸

Practice self ahimsa: show up for yourself, and treat yourself with kindness 🫶🏽💕🌷☀️

Ten years ago, my practice used to regularly be soundtracked by Apple Music’s Metal for Yoga playlist. Although the sound of Metal has changed throughout the decades, the Prince of Darkness was undoubtedly one of the major influences of the genre. 🦇

When doing my daily practice, I tend to choose a vinyl from our collection to be a part of the flow. In today’s choice I honor past me, who found comfort in an atypical yogic playlist.

You deserve rest. No need to “earn” it, no need to only seek it at your limits. Rest and slow movement will always be there for you, without judgement. So take some time today to explore what that might look like for you today. 🌸💕💫

Feeling major nostalgia of my YTT experience, so I decided to practice the sequence I worked on with my team (shoutout @paigecavert & @catie.wofford for being literally the best). Going back to movements that were done with people you admire always feels good. 🧘🏽🌸💕🫶🏽
