  • “Yoga pro...heal thyself.” Versions of this phrase have been swirling in my head these days. When the sky fell on March 15th, I truly thought we’d only be on pause in NYC for two weeks! In retrospect, this was pretty naive. Shortly thereafter, it was time to take a hard look at my privilege. It was clear how systemic advantages kept me more safe than others from both the virus and from economical ruin. I got a little lost in both my good actions and my old behavioral and emotional trappings. ☝️About the actions... They are not enough, they have not ended, and I have accepted that to live my convictions and provide anything of value on this world, I need to continue to humbly refine my actions and creations. Always. Throughout my life. ✌️ Now onto to those trappings... Despite the ability to get good food and to continue my self care, a lot of my good habits went out the door when I started working from home. 🕳 But the one trap that is perhaps most dangerous to me is self blame and shame. As @alicramer @jyoti.yoga.healing reminded me in our recent interviews on the @premayogainstitute insta, we must Be soft with ourselves right now. We must be kind. There is no other way. This is in part why I chose these ladies to lead our #AyurvedaandImmunity CE Course this Nov. 4-18 - Yes, because of course we need a strong immunity with the #Rona and #fluseason around! But also because I knew I needed an Ayurveda refresher - in hands perhaps more gentle than my own. ✋🏽🤚🏿 Thank you already, Ladies. Thank you @myayurvedllc. I’m so excited to study with you! And if you want to join us - just follow the link in my Bio. We need this community support of our health now more than ever before. #healyourself 📷 @reneechoiphotography

  • Asana pictures on Instagram...are we doing this anymore? 🤣 Some of the colleagues I admire have stopped with the #asanapicturesoninsta - and some have doubled down. Personally, I feel a picture can catch the feeling - how a mindful asana practice can feel simultaneously freeing and at home. 🌱Asana practice still feels like coming back to my body - and, frankly, I need that. 📷 Plus I work with a straight-up artist, who is also a yogi, to catch a moment when I am not working on my laptop in sweats and a scrunchie or holding down the Covid pandemic couch with my dog. ( 🐕 + 🛋 = temporary 🦠 diversion). 🙇‍♀️ I concede that we are facing some huge problems, so I am a little bit “meh” about #yogapics these days. My role as a teacher is not to be entertainment. But the purpose of this picture is a lot lighter than these musings...I just wanna tell you I am teaching #yogainthepark on Sundays as long as I possibly can! And if you wanna feel a bit like what @reneechoiphotography managed to catch in this pic - and if you actually managed to make it this long into my musings, then the time has come to meet! 11a Sunday with social distancing in effect. 🗺 DM me your email for the map & release form...I will send by the morning but it’s basically the 72nd St. entrance on the East Side. $20 ifyou can or less if you can’t. #practiceon

That’s why we need to get together - move the anxiety, build the strength, and set the record of our thoughts straight. Suggested donation $20 or pay-what-can. Email info@premayogainstitute.com for the liability waiver #compasspose 📷 @reneechoiphotography

  • It won’t bring her back to post these, but that shouldn’t stop us from trying. We have to pick up the mantle of justice and equality she left us and carry on. #notoriousrbg #rbg #irreplaceable #tosleeptill2021
