#pranashama

This photo was taken on top of 200 foot waterfall. The view is breath taking! I was reflecting about something my shaman friend here in Costa Rica taught me. He said, there are 4 pillars to living a good life:

1⃣ love and respect of self
2⃣ love and respect of Pachamama (Mother Earth)
3⃣ love and respect for humankind
4⃣ love and respect for family

Without these, we can not thrive, and grow to our ultimate potential. What do you think? Do you agree? Tag a friend who you love. We are all interconnected. We are all one human family. Namaste ______

Feeling so grateful for the simple things in life. Earth, soil, sunshine, good friends, music, hugs, smiles, yoga, laughter… And my shaman friend painted this beautiful hummingbird on my new drum!
Did you know that hummingbirds are the animals closest to God frequency? ✨ _________________

Ask and you shall receive! Knock and the door is opened. Seek and you shall find. ✨✨ ___
What if paradise and heaven is alive here on earth in our hearts? Would you believe it if you were told that the only thing between you and the manifestation of all your dreams is belief? Step into the gushing stream of infinite abundance and release fear doubt and worry. Tune into the vibration of the creative source within and align with your highest truth. Everything and everyone wants you to succeed. And you define what that means. Success can mean happiness. It can mean oneness and connection. It can mean love and prosperity. You make the rules. You choose your path. And from there, open your arms to receive the Blessings pouring forth upon you. Be grateful. Every moment is a miracle if you surrender and stop resisting the flow of the river. Tune in and you will know the answers that you seek are all within you. #believe #miracles

Your decisions shape your destiny. Listen to your intuition. Check in with your gut. But in the end, always follow your heart. ____________________

This is the way to liberation. Go to the core of the core. Move beyond your fears. It’s in those moments when you feel the greatest pain, you discover the secret. It’s all in your mind. It always was and has been, self created. When you move beyond the duality of the mind, that is where true freedom is waiting there for you, like a long time loving friend. Freedom says, let go. Surrender. There is more joy then you could ever imagine waiting for you on the other side of fear. And what could before important then your joy and happiness? All you have to do is #trust

Here’s some #mondaymotivation Both of these pics are of me in nataraj/ dancer’s pose. Can you guess how many hours (years) of yoga practice it took to see this level of progress?

The greater transformation always takes place within though. The woman I was on the right was much less balanced, confident and clear about my focus. I hadn’t discovered my purpose in life yet and was just starting to find my way. The woman on the right I was clear, focused and determined to access my greatest potential and to share these gifts with those who would benefit from them. The body will one day pass away, so these forms are simply reminders of our progress. Can you measure compassion in a photo like this? No, not at all. But you can see that my commitment to the path of yoga is strong and that I hope to inspire you to give your time to something meaningful, that makes you feel better every day and that serves the greater good on earth. Namaste.

Talk about epic! A tourist walking by today took this pic of @epicself and I and said he would send it to me. I didn’t know if he would though.. But I just got it in email! I love the reflection in the sand. It reminds me how much life is always mirroring and matching the vibration of what we are sending out, thinking and believing. It’s so important to keep the mind and heart open to all possibilities, tuned to love, joy and happiness. People are awesome and so is life. #imsograteful #happyeaster

Today at the beach @epicself and I tried this partner yoga pose. I’ve never even attempted this before with anyone. At first, I was turned the other way, but was afraid I’d hurt her ribs. So I turned the other way and found a great stability with my hands on her hips. She held this wheel pose for a long time while I tried new positions and walked all over her belly! Sometimes it takes some playtime with someone to get to know how strong and supportive they truly are. And she is truly as great in real life as she is as an #Acroyoga base. Definitely the kind of rockstar angel I want on my team. ✨ I’m amazed that we had 2 spontaneous people register today for our yoga training immersion! There’s just one spot left if you want to hop on a plane and join us! We are starting April 12. You can register here >>> www.Tinyurl.com/costaricayogatt

Feeling so blessed to be here in this magical place. Even the sunset threw a love party for me to welcome my arrival! #CostaRica #puravida #pranashama #love Photo taken by a local tiko tonight (at Costa Rica)

@mantramagazine asked me, What was your biggest struggle and how did you come through..? I don’t know how to sum up all my response in 1 sentence, however the 4 car accidents I have been in over the years have been the near death moments that have woken me up and required me to get back into alignment, made me faithful to my yoga path and opened my eyes to the powerful world of self healing and transformation available to us all, if we will take the time to learn and focus on what is possible in every moment. This is what inspires me most. Everyone has the potential to change their life in a positive way. What about you? Has yoga helped you over come Sw big challenges and struggles? I’m writing a book so soon I will invite submissions if you have a great story to share, you could be featured in my next book. _____

The people we attract, the possibilities that we create, it’s all part of the great school of life. The only lesson we must master is unconditional love. Love yourself so completely and unconditionally that nothing will disturb your inner peace and happiness. Know when to let go, when to hold on and when to say it’s time to move on. That will open the door for what is truly meant for you. For what is trying to be born through you, and that is the most important focus. Your destiny has a plan. #trust ✨

When faced with stress or challenges, turn yourself upside down to see from a new perspective. It also can cure headaches and prove your mood. There is always a solution. Smile. Everything is a blessing.

This moment made my heart so happy. Kendra said she had a goal to do scorpion pose, but didn’t think she could. I told her, everything is possible. With some help and support, belief and faith, practice and dedication. So I assisted her and she did it on her first try. It happens every time. But I never get tired of this feeling. The way it feels when all the dots connect and someone experiences a breakthrough : PRICELESS. Nothing makes me happier then to show others their greatest potential. ✨ #shineon

“True beauty, the kind that doesn’t fade or wash off, takes time. It takes incredible endurance. It is the slow drip that creates the stalactite, the shaking of the Earth that creates mountains, the constant pounding of the waves that breaks up the rocks and smooths the rough edges. And from the violence, the furor, the raging of the winds, the roaring of the waters, something better emerges, something that would have otherwise never existed.
And so we endure. We have faith that there is purpose. We hope for things we can’t see. We believe there are lessons in loss, power in love, and that we have within us the potential for a beauty so magnificent, our bodies can’t contain it.”
-Amy Harmon

Flying and floating! ☀️ We captured this beautiful moment when I was giving Tony a private #supyoga lesson in the pool and he landed this flying crow on his first attempt!! It has been so epic to share #supyoga with @tony_f and what a joy to have this incredibly talented yogi photographer with us for this 100 hour/ 10 day #yoga #teachertraining here in Costa Rica. You have to check out his website and all of the amazing images he has captured. He’s a true world class artist. You may also see him at @yogajournal live events. If you see him in NYC or San Diego later this spring, be sure to go say hello and give him a hug. I’m feeling so blessed and grateful. Thank you for everything Tony!! You’re awesome! ☀️☀️☀️ _______________________________

Here’s a great #motivationmonday story for you! I’m sharing this photo because Diana ( @dvaciderayoga ) is such an inspiration. She came to Bali last June to train with me and got her 300 hour yoga teacher certificate. One day we went on excursion to try #supyoga. She was really afraid because she can’t swim. She’d never been on a paddle board or in the ocean before, but she decided to over come her fears and give It a try. I assured her we will be safe. The yoga board is a great life saving floatation device! So, she did It and had such a blast! Then after almost 1 year, she decided she loves sup yoga and came down here to #costarica to get certified in #paddleboardyoga! She is living proof what you can achieve when you say no to fear and say yes to life! Anything is possible. ✨ What about you? Are you ready to let go of fear to embrace the magical adventure that awaits you on the other side? #BeTheChange

Practicing and teaching yoga on the water is transformational. It requires beginners mind, focused presence, steady awareness, core power, stability, breath and connection. Courage and surrender. We learn to work with the elements of nature and go with the flow. Affirmation: I harness the power of the vast ocean, radiant sunshine and fresh clean air to co-create peace and love on earth. Namaste #BeTheChange
