•Remember, honesty and responsibility within yourself is the best path to understanding and controlling external situations. •Pare down what you are doing and really focus on what needs to happen for you to make progress.

Spent a luxurious 3.5 hrs yesterday in a Chakra painting workshop at @poweryogacanada It was an unbelievably meditative and a much needed dose of #selfcare (at Power Yoga Canada Etobicoke)

Vino Vinyasa Vacation

Earlier this month I went on my very first yoga retreat, hosted by Power Yoga Canada. It was a short weekend retreat up at Cleveland’s House in Muskoka, and although I could probably have stayed for the whole week (or two, or three) what I got out of the my short time there was amazing.

I could probably wax on about the trip, and yoga’s benefits, and get super mushy and cheesy, so instead here are the highlights: 

I did not one, but TWO handstands. I cannot even express how empowering that feels especially for someone who is terrified to go upside down.

I really went for it with the rest of my practice too. I managed to hold crow for 10 seconds, a personal best (before falling on my face) and I came the closest I ever have to doing bird of paradise.

The theme of the week was “intention to action” – which meant awesome actual doable work. It’s great to say: “I want to be closer with my family” or “I want to have more energy”, but what does that look like for you? What actions are you going to do to achieve those desires?

I went there knowing absolutely no one, ended up carpooling with the coolest yogi who had tons of stories about the last retreat she went on, roomed with another woman who had just started doing power yoga, who’s first reaction to meeting me was basically “well, glad you’re not a serial killer”(EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING), and had awesome dinner time conversations with people from all over the province.

One of the facilitators never said “but” – he always said “and”. It’s quite literally taking a negative term and presenting it in a positive way instead. I don’t know if he even noticed he was doing it, but and word nerd that I am, I definitely noticed.

The studio was UNREAL. It’s in a boathouse, so you are quite literally floating on water while practicing.

Plus, who would want to leave sipping white wine at a lakeside resort after a full day of yoga? Namaste right here.

Life can become mundane, if you aren't seeking for new limits, pushing to pass boundaries, and opening up to creativity and experimentation ✨ ✨ bringing mindfulness, creativity, and desire back into my practice, knowing full well it will also show up off of my mat 🙏🏻 practice daily- strive for more.

usually when im in #pinchamayurasana i need my hands to be planted (gripping tightly) to the ground, & straight (hands lined up with my elbows) HOWEVER, my beautiful bæ @samanthalynneskinner had suggested i try holding my hands together, so theyre not only creating a triangle-but also pressing against each other.. I FINALLY DID IT BABE! 😂👍🏻 still super shaky but SOOO FREAKIN happy i was able to get this😌🙏🏻✨ #fromwhereisweat #pycoshawa #poweryogacanada #torontoyoga #yoga #asana #yogainspiration #yogachallenge #yogalove

i CHOOSE over i WANT. i am not lacking anything, i already have what i need to accomplish what i am CHOOSING for myself! i choose to love, live freely, and express myself honestly to my fullest extent. i choose to love myself, i choose to be present & dedicate myself to serving others🙏🏻 i choose my spirituality, i choose creativity, i choose peace. • one of the most powerful things we have is choice. everyday we choose who we are and what we stand for. we are granted choices to decide for ourselves what we make of our own life, in all situations we have CHOICE. choose wisely and 'want' less. 💚🌕🌊 #gandabherundasana #ichoosehappiness #fromwhereisweat #pycoshawa #poweryogacanada #chinstand #torontoyoga #yoga #asana #yogaeverydamnday #yogainspiration #yogatransitions
