Life is made up of moments like these. Moments of pause. Moments of beauty. Moments of love. This life, this one we're living right now, is fleeting. In a blink, Honey's life will be over. In another blink or two or three, so will mine. Yet we spend each moment of each day speeding toward the next. Like the moments aren't short enough already. Like the next one will be better. And the next and the next. Until there is no more next moment. What then? When there is no more Honey, and no more Miette, and no more mom and dad and brother? What next moment is worth the loss of this one? What perception of a perfect video is worth the loss of this moment with my sweet angel dog? Is there anything better than simple moments like these? These are the moments that life is made of. Moments of pause. Moments of beauty. Moments of love. #jindomix #deafdogsrock #koreanjindomix #ilovemyrescuedog #nevergonnagiveyouup #jindo #yogateacher #yogainfusion #onlineyogaclasses #perfectmoments #justagirlandherdog #puppykisses #yogaathome #athomeyogapractice #yogaonline #yogainfusionacademy #behindthescenes #teachingenglish #expatinkorea #epikteacher #eslteacher #solofemaletraveler #girlslovetravel #glt 
😁 In-person classes are officially a go! Over the past few months, many people have asked me why I don't offer classes in person, and honestly it's because the majority of my students follow me on YouTube and live on the other side of the world! Which is pretty cool. But I think it's time that I opened up classes to the locals! So if you live in the Pasadena area and want to take your yoga outside, join a safe community, and enjoy some outstanding California weather, reserve your spot in the link in my bio! Spaces are limited to 15 people so that we can maintain social distancing and there will be no hands-on adjustments for that same reason. And as a special token of gratitude for joining me in practice, use code FIRSTTIME to get your first class for free! Can't wait to see you on the mat! Tonight's class at Singer Park on California and will be a vinyasa fusion flow. All levels welcome! #communityyoga #freeyoga #yogainthepark #parkyoga #yogainfusion #yogainfusionacademy #vinyasaflow #fusionyoga #yogateacher #yogainstructor #ryt500 #kundaliniyoga #upliftedyoga #losangelesyoga #yogainlosangeles #yogaclasses #yogafit #yogalifestyle #yogaeverydamnday #summeryoga #yogabody #summerbody 
We didn’t always have food… Not whole, natural food that you have to prepare and cook. The food that I ate growing up came out of boxes. Boxes in the pantry and boxes donated from churches and other charitable locations. My favorite was mac and cheese and ham and peas. Mac and cheese but upgraded! It was only when I was older that my mom told me she created that because that’s all we had left in the house. Surprise! I loved it! That couldn’t have worked out better. I was on free lunch at school, and have had teachers share their food with me. My special lunch for field trips was a bagel sandwich with lunch meat, cheese, and sprouts. Mom only got sprouts on special occasions. When she had to get a second job, mom got a job at Taco Bell. Reason being: if we can’t afford to buy food, then at least she could bring food home from work for us. We wouldn’t starve. And that’s what was important. We are all just doing our best with what we have in each moment. We are all just trying to get by. And we would all fucking LOVE to THRIVE. No one wants to struggle. But some people don’t know any other way to live. Changing is too hard, too intimidating. The steps are not always clear, and rarely linear. I’ve been working with coaches and trainers for the last 4 years to learn another way to live. I taught myself how to cook in 2013, by looking up recipes online and giving them a try. Presentation is still not my forte, and none of my vegetables are cut evenly, but I can make a damn delicious meal. And dessert. Including cheesecake baked in a toaster oven. I taught myself yoga in 2013 by following YouTube videos. And I taught myself about healing through food on my own when my digestive tract stopped functioning as it was meant to in 2014. We all have the power to change our lives. We have the tools at our fingertips. We can spend years and years learning on our own, or we can invest in ourselves and our futures and hire someone to teach us anything we want to know. We have the choice in each moment to stay stagnant in our world, or to try to break out and be better, do better. What choice will you make? #yogainfusion #healthyliving #expatliving #yogalife 
Let’s have a conversation around fear shall we? Fear is the reason that we have so much hate in this world. It’s the reason that people get stuck in all manner of mud (unhappy marriages, unfulfilling jobs, etc). It’s the reason that people don’t speak their minds or speak up for themselves. It’s the reason people miss out on the things they want. There’s all kinds of fear in this world. Fear of the unknown. Fear of being rejected. Fear of being abandoned. Fear of being laughed at. Fear of being wrong. Fear of dying. Fear is there to protect you. It’s your brain’s way of keeping you safe. If you’re afraid of getting hit by a bus you will never step outside and therefore you will never be hit by a bus. AKA 100% win for your brain. But that isn’t a life. Living in fear can only hold you back. It’ll keep you super safe, yes, but super super held back. We all experience fear. So let me tell you a little story about one of mine. I’m absolutely terrified of falling short or not living up to the expectations put on me (by myself and others). EVERY SINGLE TIME I plan something, whether that be a trip, an outing, an itinerary, a birthday party, or a snack, as soon as it’s over I am filled with fear and doubt. Was it good enough? Did I ruin it somehow? Did the other person enjoy it? Could I have done better? I spend the next few hours agonizing over the outcome and have even been known to call people up to ask if it was ok. Usually it blows their minds that I even have to ask. I focus so much on other people’s experiences that I forget to have my own. I want everything to be perfect for them. And if it’s not, I feel like it’s my fault. I feel like I fell short. Living in that fear is stifling. But awareness of it is the first step toward separating yourself from it. So identify something that you’re fearful of today and begin to explore what the fear is, what your brain is keeping you “safe” from, and begin to play with what life would look like without that fear hanging over your head. And if you’re comfortable with it, I would love to hear what fear you’re ready to let go of below! #yogateacher #lifestylecoach #mindsetwork #disneyland #yogafit #selfawareness 
Yoga completely changed the trajectory of my life. And I think it could change yours, too, if you let it. For me, I felt lost and had zero direction in my life. I took whatever next easiest steps were placed in front of me, developed shallow relationships based off of social drinking, and was absolutely certain there was something wrong with me and that no one I wanted would ever love me back. Yoga, the practice of yoga and the philosophies learned through that practice, gave me the space I needed to get out of my own head and into my body and reality. There is a practice in yoga called Svadhyaya or self-study, and it is one of my favorites. To study myself was something I had hitherto never thought to do. But through yoga, I have the space to observe who I am. To study one’s self is a beautiful thing. How your body moves, how your mind works, the connections you make, the way that your subtle body vibrates at different times. These experiences are divine. Before yoga, I was simply existing. And I wasn’t particularly happy. Or present. Would I say it’s always easy? HELL NO! But would I say it’s worth it? As cliche as it sounds...absofuckinglutely. Because yoga creates the opportunity for you to dig deep, to practice awareness, and to learn what it really means to experience the experience of the experience that is this lifetime. How did yoga change your life??

Every body is a beach body!! But do you feel comfortable in yours? Because it doesn't matter what shape or size you are in this moment, what matters is that you recognize and appreciate where you're at and where you're going. That you know how to eat best for YOU and your lifestyle and your goals. That you practice movement in a way that nourishes YOU. That you learn how to experience your existence in a way that EMPOWERS you. We cover all of that and more inside YIA. If you're ready to support your beautiful beach body, leave me a 🏖️ and let's talk about how YIA could be your next right move toward your health! #yogacoach #lifestylecoach #expat #expatliving #beachlife #beachbody #jindomix #koreanjindorescue #dogbeach #yogateacher #yia #yogainfusionacademy #virtualwellness #healthylifestylecoaching #yogafit #healthylifestyle #plantbased #strongisthenewsexy #selflove #womenhelpingwomen #womenempoweringwomen #teachingenglish #internationalteacher 
Here’s how to live forever! 🤩🤩 🍉 If it’s not good for you, get rid of it. If it’s around, you will be tempted. You will fall back into old habits. You will find it harder to step forward toward that which is good for you. This goes for food, drinks, social expectations, locations, and people. Don’t stay stuck in what’s bogging you down. Surround yourself with people, frequencies, thoughts, and food that nourish you from the inside out. 🎵Everybody, rock your body, everybody rock your body right! And what I mean by that is move move mooooooove that body like it’s the only thing keeping you alive. Cause it is. Guess what guys! Without a body you’re just a soul floating around looking for a home. The soul needs a body and the body needs to move to be healthy. It was built to move and groove and dance and jive. So find a movement style that brings you joy and practice it. Daily. 🧠 Master your mindset. It doesn’t happen overnight, and I would honestly say it’s probably going to be a lifetime of work for all of us (but we want to live forever, right, so we’ve got enough time to work on it). But mastering your mindset is a GAME CHANGER. Not only can you change your quality of life, but you can completely change your perspective on EVERYTHING. Because the life that you’re living is simply your PERCEPTION of the life that you’re living. 🤯🤯 Nothing is real! Ok, that might be an exaggeration but it’s kind of true. We are all looking at life through the lens of our experiences. Change that lens and everything changes. 🙏 Practice gratitude. Cause if you’re gonna be here a good long time, you don’t want to hate it all do you? ⚡ Finally, everything is energy. Align yourself to the energy you want and keep leaning into it. Fear is an energy. Boredom is an energy. Discontentment is an energy. Settling is an energy. Upleveling is an energy. Succeeding is an energy. So find the energies that you want to embody and immerse yourself in them. This kind of rings back to that number 1 up there, don’t it? Have you got any tips for me? I would love to know what you do so that you can live forever!! #jindomix #koreanrescuedog #yogainfusion #yogateacher #healthylife #health

Have you ever lost your bra strap in your back fat? I have. I lost it in a little lingerie store in the south of France (not the cool south of France, the middle of nowhere south of France.) The bra was cute, I put it on, and suddenly half of it wasn’t there anymore. It was the first time I really noticed my body. The first time I think I ACTUALLY saw it. And I didn’t like what I saw. Have you ever felt that way? Have you ever caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and thought “I could do better?” You are not alone. So I, like you perhaps, went home after that little escapade and decided to make a change. To start working out. But how? How do you start working out when you’re alone in a foreign country and have never worked out before? Online Yoga, that’s how. 35 minutes a day. All online. All at home. All from a competent teacher who made this working out thing fun. It all started with a YouTube video. A 15 min plank abs class that changed my life. In 6 months of consistent, but not overly ambitious, work, I lost 15 pounds. Over the next two years I brought it down another 10. For the past 5 years, I’ve maintained a consistent weight, a weight that is healthy for my body. Which means it’s doable. It’s a doable thing. It’s not some magic formula. It’s consistency. In movement, nutrition, and mindset. If I can do it, friend, so can you. The question, now, is: are you ready to change your life? If so, leave me a “YASSS QUEEN” in the comments below and let’s chat! #yogateacher #yogainfusion #yogainfusionacademy #yia #yogaathome #youtubeyoga #solofemaletraveler #expatinkorea #teachinginkorea #teachingenglish #eslteacher #englishteacher #yogafit #yogalife #yogalifestyle #plantbased #plantbasedlifestyle #intuitiveeating #ayurveda #holistichealth #fitteacher #expatteacher #expatlife #teacherlife
