I’m participating in @oakmoontarot’s August challenge, and it’s starting off with a bang. What card best represents your inner skeptic? 8 of Cups. I felt this soooo hard. I feel this as a core piece of my #enneagram8-ness. There’s some part of me that believes I have to go at it alone, that somehow what I’ve been given isn’t good enough and I need to make it something more. It’s the #8’s passion of Lust for sure. Granted I can also see very positive things from this card. I wouldn’t be who or where I am today if it weren’t for my ability to push forward and break new ground. I’m excited to see how this exploration of faith and skepticism plays out for me over the next month. The next episode of #consciousconstruction talks in-depth about my recent struggle with faith and trust and this overwhelming feeling that I have to make things happen on my own. Tune in tomorrow! • • • #enneagram #tarot #enneagramtarot #yogateacher #atxenneagram #atxyogateacher #personalgrowth #skepticism #faith #oakmoonchallenge #8ofcups #eightofcups #spiritualgrowth #spiritualjourney #enneagramjourney #enneagrampodcast (at Austin, Texas)

Doing all the things... * Working on my 300hr. certification. * Growing a human. * Planning a move. * Looking for more work. * Figuring out how to rent out my house. * Constantly resisting the gnawing craving for donuts. * And still teaching a handful of zoom classes each week!

Truthfully, some days I feel kind of cranky about it all. I get cranky about not working as much as usual and not feeling as productive as I think I should be. I day-dreamed about taking one last great trip before the baby comes, and I get cranky setting those plans aside. And I get cranky just like any other human being about having the flow of my normal daily impeded and restricted, even if I can understand why things need to be this way. I’d love to tell you I never have to wrestle with negative thoughts or prickly moods, but I’d be lying. But I am at least learning how to have a better relationship with myself in those moments. My yoga helps me engage with my experiences instead of trying to deny them or change them (not everything needs to be fixed!) Turning to my practice helps me digest and metabolize the cranky and the prickly and hopefully convert them into a little more patience, a little more compassion, a softer heart. What does your yoga do for you? Wanna do some yoga together? 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️ You can find me in the @yogapodaustin zoom room this coming week: * Mon: 6:30p All Levels Flow * Tues: 12:00p All Levels Flow & 6:30p Yin * Wed: 3:00p VinYin & 7:00p Yin #zoomyoga #atxyoga #atxyogateacher #atxyogateachers #atxyogameetup #camelpose #pregnantyogi #22weeks #teekigirls #teekigram #manduka #liveyouryoga #selfreflection #selfinquiry #morethanasana #8limbs #feelingthefeelings #breathe #openheart #heartopener #trustthepractice #theyogamustgoon #yogainthetimeofcorona #stayhomestayhealthy #socialdistancing #vinyasa #yinyoga #vinyin (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_qBVuElSnp/?igshid=8zdshogq3cd5

Shift from movement to stillness to meditation. In these transitions are the skills of our practice that take us beyond making shapes into shaping new ways of being. This Friday, April 17, 6-7pm CST. Streaming live on zoom through Yoga Pod Austin. Not a member? Dm for info on joining our online classes. #vinyasa #yinyoga #yoganidra #irest #integrativerestoration #trustthepractice #transformation #practicemakesprogress #zoomyoga #morethanasana #8limbs #onlineyoga #stayhome #stayhealthy #pandemic2020 #nervoussystemregulation #atxyogateacher #atxyoga #yogapodaustin #stayconnected #liveyouryoga #practiceathome #$30for30days (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_DZ83SFcX0/?igshid=693eynx2caya

You’ve been asking for online yoga nidra and I really can’t think of anything better to support us during these challenging times. So tell me, when would you be most inclined to pause for a 30-40 minute yoga nidra meditation? - Early evening during the week? Wrap up the work day and let your practice support you in switching gears. - Late evening during the week? Get dinner done, maybe get the kids off to bed, and give yourself this time to fully wind down. - Mid-afternoon on a weekend? Indulge in what weekends are supposed to be all about: relaxation and restoration. I’d love to take your preference into consideration. Comment below or dm me to weigh in. And stay tuned! Online yoga nidra is coming your way ✨ #irest #yoganidra #meditation #onlineyoga #trustthepractice #restanddigest #bestill #breathe #atxyogateacher #atxyoga #meditate #stayhome #dropin #humansbeing #easeofbeing #getgrounded #goinward #welcoming #awareness #doyourpractice #liveyouryoga #morethanasana #8limbs (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-dLurBlXgm/?igshid=zi8jbm9v8ji2

Two chances to practice with me tomorrow! And now that I’m figuring out all this zoom stuff, it feels so much more like the in-person community yoga that I love so much.

No one likes to get sick, right? Over the coming weeks, to protect me AND you, I will be avoiding hands-on assists and adjusts and decreasing use of props in my classes. And don’t be surprised if you catch me washing my hands before and after class and using copious amounts of hand sanitizer. I hope you will please join me in taking reasonable precautions: - When using props, use a towel as a barrier between you and a bolster and give your blocks a wipe down when you’re through with them. Or bring your own if you have them. - Make sure you come to class with clean clothes to practice in. - Wash your hands after practicing. - And dear, dear, students and teachers alike, please don’t come to class sick. Please don’t use a group class to “sweat it out.” If you’re feeling like you could be coming down with something, stay home and get medical care as needed. #fluseason #stayhealthy #dontspreadgerms #stayhomesick #cautiousyogi #atxyogateacher #classpassatx #weareinthistogether (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UT47jFQBq/?igshid=10uflp96vsx2x

I like keeping busy. I've always been someone who's got their irons in a lot of different fires. It seems as though I happen to know a little something about almost everything. But trivia doesn't pay the bills. I've felt a strong pull in my life over the last several years to go deeper, to become excellent at something, to master a craft. I believe I am truly engaging in that process now, but the place where I seem to always get strung up is this: to focus on one thing means to not focus on all the others. Ugh. I met up with a friend who mentioned the idea of "digging too many wells." While I had never heard the metaphor before, it resonated immediately. You only have so much energy and if you're digging 20 wells, none of them will be deep enough to get you what you're looking for. So, now I'm in the process of leaving some wells behind and focusing on my one big well. Which is scary. Doing lots of different things makes me feel like my options are open, like if one thing doesn't work out I have others. But I know from experience that's not how things work. What are you focusing on? What are you choosing NOT to focus on? What's this process been like for you? Let me know in the comments. • • • #yoga #realyoga #wellness #diggingwells #enneagram #enneagramyoga #enneagram8 #enneagram8w7 #selfknowledge #selfstudy #svadhyaya #getreal #yogafortransformation #atxyoga #atxyogateacher #yogateacherinspiration #faithfullylgbt #queeryoga #energy #personalgrowth #focus #determination #excellence #masteryourcraft

"There is activity in the stillness, and stillness in the activity." Can you feel it? Sometimes it just all feels like activity. In this fast-paced, crazy world staying grounded can be a full time job. I've been keeping my nose to the grindstone with my practice to keep myself from floating away in all this mess. If you feel like you need a little more anchoring as we move into the holidays, let's chat about some yoga and lifestyle coaching. I can help, because I've been there, too. Work, relationship, kids, friends, parents, holidays, politics, it's enough to drive anyone crazy. Yoga helps us to take it all in stride. If you're looking for a little more stillness this holiday season, yoga may be your answer, and I can show you how. • • • #yoga #realyoga #yogaforbalance #yogafortransformation #stillness #meditation #faithfullylgbt #queeryoga #atxyoga #atxyogis #atxyogateacher #privateyoga #lizardpose #stretch #breathe #svadhyaya #yogacoach #coaching #lifecoach #enneagram #enneagramcoach #enneagramyoga

I've been busting my but this week. Between studying, hustling for new clients, starting my internship, sick kiddos, and lots of driving to make up so extra cash, I am beat. Thursday (that epically terrible day I had) I was driving and picked up a guy headed to the Thinkery for the adult game night. We hit it off and spent most of the ride laughing. Then he gave me this. He actually spent money to have these printed up so he could hand them to people. It was such a bright spot in my week and I'm so grateful we crossed paths. Sometimes we all need a reminder that we're fucking awesome. • • • #yoga #realyoga #yogaforlife #fuckingawesome #endsameness @lyft #austin #atx #atxyoga #atxyogateacher #yogateacherinspiration

It's easy to look at the world right now and want to throw up your hands in despair. There's no gentle way to put this: It's a fucking shit show. Looking out at the world, it's so clear to each of us that if only certain people would do something different everything would be so much better. We're so quick to point fingers, placing blame, assigning fault. But here's the kicker: Nothing changes unless we change. Nothing will change unless YOU change. Nothing will change unless I change. The problems in the world aren't problems "out there," they're problems in our hearts. Do you want things in your life to be different? Don't change things or circumstances, change YOU. Open up, look deep inside, and heal the wounds you've been ignoring, change your perspective. If you're sitting around waiting for someone else to change to make your life better, I guarantee you that you will be miserable the rest of your life. All real change starts from the inside, and then our lives reflect that inner change. Let's get real, this is hard shit. It would be so much simpler if *someone else* would just figure it out and act right, but then there will be another person or situation that "needs to change." The only REAL way to happiness and contentment is inner work. It's being willing to shine a light on all the places inside yourself you'd rather keep hidden. It's hard work, but this work pays well, better than anything else. It's the real deal. I am determined to be the change I want to see in the world.
