  • The word asana means a steady comfortable seat for meditation. The asanas, the physical yoga postures, were created in order for the body to be able to sit in a comfortable and stable meditation seat for long periods of time, without pain or resistance, in order to train the mind to reach the ultimate state of enlightenment or samadhi. Perhaps we could say to come back home to this ultimate state. There is no place outside of us that we must reach for. It is more about moving inwards and coming back home to our true nature. . Can you begin to feel this same sense of comfort and stability, in all your physical yoga postures, the asanas, in situations in your life, in being with others or being with yourself, being with your mind or with your thoughts, or being with your inner space. . This is the practice, coming back home to who you truly are. Through deep guided meditations, our Body Flows retreats will assist you in tapping into that place of inner stillness and discovering or experiencing your steady and comfortable true nature of being. . We’ll also have fun and connect as a community of friends, exploring nature and embracing the world around us and all that it has to offer us in this lifetime. We look forward to seeing some of you in Maui next weekend, and even more of you in California, Colorado and Mexico this Summer and Fall! https://bodyflows.com . #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogalove #yogalife #stillness #meditation #asana #enlightenment #truenature #yogaretreat #retreats #bodyflows #bodyflowsretreats

  • Practicing Lord of the Dance Pose, Natarajasana, cultivates within me a feeling of openness to the world, a sense of expansion and oneness with the universe, and a whole realm of new possibilities. . I was never a dancer growing up because I was very inflexible, uncoordinated and double jointed as a child and I lacked the finesse and gracefulness required to be a dancer. . Through yoga, I began to find the hidden dancer within, a sense of openness to others and the world around me, perhaps maybe even the finesse and gracefulness I did not previously feel, and a deeper connection to something greater than myself. . How does yoga make you feel? Have you ever felt a sense of openness and awakening in a yoga class? Have you felt more connected to others or to something greater than yourself? How does this feel? 💫 . I am so grateful to be teaching this practice of yoga, and helping others to cultivate this deeper connection within. The physical yoga postures are only one step along the path towards the ultimate samadhi and oneness. 🙏 . At a Body Flows yoga retreat you may experience something similar for yourself. Join us in Mexico, Oct 8-12, on this gorgeous beach at @playaviva . Message us with any questions. We’d love to hear from you. 😊 . #playaviva #yoga #yogateacher #yogaeverydamnday #yogalife #yogalove #yogamexico #retreat #yogaretreats #bodyflows #bodyflowsretreats

  • In Buddhism, we should regard every living being as our mother because we have had many past lives and rebirths, and in every past life we had a mother and they were also reborn, so every living being today has the potential to be our mother, and so we should feel kindness, gratitude and love for every living being, so Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! 😍 . Photo gratitude to @alokrockwater and to @anjmahen @brittarael @acro_carolyn for the beautiful yoga fun and friendship at #playaviva 🙏 So honored to be going back there in October to lead our Body Flows Mexico beachfront yoga retreat.

  • Ardha Chandra Chapasana variation challenges the body and mind, and cultivates a space of inner awareness and a deeper level of consciousness if we focus inwards. . Iyengar said “The process of relaxing the brain is achieved through asana. We generally think of mind as being in our head. In asana our consciousness spreads throughout the body, eventually diffusing in every cell, creating a complete awareness.” - Light on Life, B.K.S. Iyengar . In which asanas do you most feel this state of complete inner awareness? . #yoga #yogateacher #yogaeverydamnday #yogaoutdoors #nature #yogaretreats #bodyflows #yogalove #yogalife

  • Take a few moments to close your eyes, bring your awareness inwards, notice your breath, slow down your breath and slow down your mind. If any thoughts come into your mind, visualize those thoughts being like clouds in the sky, drifting in and drifting by, and gently come back to the sensation of your breath as you inhale and exhale slowly. Become aware of your thoughts, be the witness of your thoughts, like a watcher of your thoughts, as if they are outside of you, because your thoughts are not who you really are, so begin to see them as separate from yourself, and then continue to bring the awareness inwards, and notice your breath, slowing down your breath, slowing down your mind… . We’ll be publishing an article soon about this state of bring the awareness inwards and withdrawing from our senses, including the benefits of doing so, and we’ll also be sharing some guided meditations soon so you can practice for yourself, so stay tuned for these helpful resources coming soon on bodyflows.com! . #yoga #yogaretreats #retreat #meditation #mindfulness #breathe #breathmeditation #yogaeveryday #contemplation #yogalove #yogalife #bodyflows
