🌾3 Small Habits That Keep Me Grounded

1️⃣ I pause before immediately responding! Especially when I'm stressed, frustrated, or emotionally activated. This one took me some time to practice but my communication has improved and my nervous system thanks me too 😏 Pause. Breathe.

2️⃣ I get outside. 🌿 Even a few minutes of fresh air, sunlight, walking, or simply standing barefoot in the grass can help me reconnect with the present moment. With it being summer, I could live on my back deck, in my gazebo and swinging in my swing ✨️

3️⃣ I check in with my body. 💫 Instead of waiting until I'm completely depleted, I pause, one hand to heart ❤️, one to belly and ask: What am I feeling? What physical sensations are coming up? What feels heavy or stuck? What do I need? What would support me the MOST right now?

What is your favorite, go-to way to ground? 🌿

☀️ WAKE UP & FLOW IS HERE TO STAY...🧘‍♀️✨

When we launched our Wake Up & Flow Morning Yoga Series back in June, it was a bit of an experiment..

We decided to try an early morning class for the month of June and see what happened...

Well, YOU happened!! 🤍

We've had a wonderful group of yogis showing up all summer long, rolling out their mats before the day gets going, and creating a little weekly morning yoga routine of their own ✨️

So we're continuing Wake Up & Flow into September! 🎉

We'll continue taking it month by month as we move into fall and winter, keeping an eye on participation as seasons change and schedules shift.

☀️ WAKE UP & FLOW
📅 Thursdays
⏰ 5:15–6:00 AM
🧘‍♀️ 45-minute all-levels yoga

Svadhyaya is one of the Niyamas in yoga philosophy and is often translated as self-study or self-reflection.

It can look like asking:

🤔 Why did that situation affect me so strongly?

🤔 What patterns keep showing up in my life?

🤔 What do I need right now?

🤔 Am I responding or reacting?

🤔 What beliefs about myself am I carrying?

🤔What am I learning about myself through this season of life?

➡️ The important piece: self-study ISN'T self-judgment!

We're not studying ourselves so we can find everything that's “wrong.”

We're becoming curious enough to notice ourselves with compassion!

👉👉 What is this season of your life teaching you about yourself?

🌿 Mindfulness and Yoga wisdom in day to day life! One of my fav topics 🥰

What if mindfulness wasn't another thing you needed to add to your already full todo list?

What if it was simply learning to be where you are?

This week, I'm bringing some of the wisdom of yoga and mindfulness off the mat and into everyday life!

We'll explore simple ways to pause, notice, reflect, stay grounded, let go, rest, and respond to life's stressors a little differently.

Because yoga isn't just about what happens when we step ONto our mat....it's about how we move through our lives!

Here's what we're getting into this week ➡️➡️➡️

✨ A 30 sec mindfulness practice you can take anywhere
✨ Svadhyaya, the practice of self study
✨ Simple grounding habits for busy days
✨ A journaling question for reflection
✨ What yoga can teach us about letting go
✨ Why rest is a powerful form of selfcare
✨ And one of the biggest lessons yoga has taught me about stress

You don't need more things to do.

Sometimes, you simply need an invitation to pause, notice, and come back to yourself!

Join me each day this week. 🤍

You are not supposed to feel exactly the same at 45 as you did at 25!

And yet, so many of us spend yeaaarrrsss trying to get our bodies, energy, metabolism, appearance, and lives back to the way they used to be!

What if we stopped asking:

“How do I get back to who I was?”

And started asking:

“Who am I becoming?”

Midlife can be a transition.

And transitions can be uncomfortable.

The things that used to work may not work anymore.

Your priorities may change.

Your energy may change.

Your relationships may change.

Your body may change.

And that doesn't mean something has gone wrong...

It means you're entering a new chapter!!

Maybe this season isn't asking you to become a younger version of yourself.

Maybe it's asking you to become a more deeply connected version of yourself.

One who knows her limits.

One who listens.

One who knows when to move and when to rest.

One who doesn't need to apologize for changing.

One who understands that slowing down isn't losing momentum.

It's choosing where to put your energy!!

There is so much life ahead of us.

We don't need to spend it fighting the woman we're becoming! ❤️

🪷 3 ways yoga can support you during hormonal changes 🪷

Let's clear something up first:

👉 Yoga isn't a magic button that “balances your hormones.”

But it CAN be a powerful tool for supporting your body through seasons of hormonal change!!

Stress regulation 🌿

Yoga combines movement, breath, and awareness in ways that can help us shift out of constant “go mode” and create more opportunities for the body to settle. A few moments of slow flow, gentle movement signals to our body to begin softening, releasing..

Better recovery 🌙

Not every practice needs to be intense!

Gentle and restorative yoga can give your body movement without adding more stress or demand.

Deep, intentional breathing brings together the body and mind to begin slowing down simultaneously. Back to a more balanced state!

Stretching and allowing the body to release stored tension, making space for breath to flow more easily.

Body awareness 💛

Perhaps one of the most underrated benefits of yoga is learning to notice what's happening inside of you!

Am I tired?

Am I tense?

Am I holding my breath?

Do I need movement?

Do I need stillness?

That awareness helps us make choices based on what our body actually needs instead of what we think we should be doing.

And that's especially valuable when your body is changing!

Yoga isn't about forcing your body back into an old version of itself..

It's about learning how to support the body you have today!! 🌿
