Yoga is my escape… it is the breath of life….
I found #yoga nearly two decades ago but it took me quite a while to turn the physical activity of yoga into a spiritual journey that I now find helps me go within to find my escape and my peace.
This is tonight’s yoga flow. I’m practicing arm balances, building strength, and aim to fly out of chaturanga dandasana and into a foward fold with straight legs. It requires a lot of shoulder strength and a very tight core to pull your legs through to the forward fold position.

I got certified as a #yogateacher in 2013 when I wanted to learn more about the practice of yoga and I wanted to challenge myself to go deeper with it. Since then it’s become a not only a true passion but also a way of life for me.
From the yoga breath to the deep sighs of release to the sweaty # #vinyasa flows… #yogaismylife. It’s funny, I was in the gym the other day and I let out a loud sigh in the locker room, not a bad sigh, just a release for me and a woman in the locker room with me said, “I hope it wasn’t a bad day.”
Sighing for me and letting the breath out through an audible breath is just that… a release. Too, often, we Americans are taught to be quiet, keep it in…to me that’s straight up BS!
Sigh it out. Move the stagnant breath through your body and out. BE ALIVE and in this MOMENT.
Namaste 🙏 Love, light, and hugs!
