Power Yoga Flow Sequence Filmed in Greece with Sole Yoga Holidays

This past week I was in Greece hosting a yoga retreat with Sole Yoga Holidays. 
The air was clean and fresh in the open yoga studio and I felt inspired to film this power flow sequence.

I hope you enjoy!

Got Yoga?

Besides the amazing health benefits of inversions such as increased blood flow and circulation, core strength and an increase in immunity, inversions are just so darn FUN! 

So, get out there and get your yoga on!

I Bend...

 

keep bending (and with joy!)

Lesson for the Day...Bend Over Backwards...

Sometimes our life lessons come when we least expect them to. One thing I am working on this year is to help and do what I can, when I can. But, not lose myself in the process. Not feel that I have overextended myself. Not feel that I am getting nothing in return. Not feel regrets or irritation when I do more than I should. 
I am sure we have all felt this way at one point in time. I do not mind bending over backwards. But, now it will be within reason!

How Are Your Chakras Today?!

7 Chakras from crown of head to base of spine!

Chakras, in Hindu metaphysical tradition and other belief systems, are centers of Praṇa, meaning life force or vital energy. Chakras correspond to vital points in the physical body i.e. major plexuses of arteries, veins and nerves. 

Notice how my heart chakra (I LOVE) is larger than the rest. I didn't realize it until after the photo was completed!!
I hope your chakras are all aligned today!

If Your Dreams Do Not Scare You...

...They're Not Big Enough! What do you all think of that? (That is ME, by the way!) This pose used to scare me. Change used to scare me. Being alone used to scare me. Writing my first book was scary. Not because of the content, but how others might react. And that's ok. It is that bit of fear that pushes me along to be the best that I can. Everyday!

Today, I am #70,869 on Amazon Kindle!

Doing a Little Yoga in the Bamboo!

During a gorgeous hike through Mill Valley, California my friends and I discovered a little magical walkway filled with tall, green bamboo stalks. What a perfect backdrop for some yoga!
