Truth is bigger than your lens. Possibility is wider than your personal experience or beliefs. Facts are broader than what you focus on. The more you step outside yourself to take in more perspectives, the wiser, calmer, and more resilient you will be. Don’t sell your own opinions and perspective as fact or full-truths, unless your opinions and perspective embodies the universal experience. Be curious and open, we all have more to learn and we can all expand by seeing each other as a part of something bigger than just our own limited point of view ✨❤️. . . . Experience is a great teacher, and the more your experience, the more wisdom you will embody. Come experience passion, sweat, and strength with me over the next few days. . . .

I woke up today stressed out. Not because anything is wrong but simply because I stopped my morning meditation practice. I stopped doing the nourishing act of starting my day with stillness, breath, contentment, peace and presence. So the little things that have been rolling off my back have now begun to stack and build into overwhelm. And I have learned from experience that beating myself up or spending time in defeat just takes me further away from what I want. Instead, I acknowledge my beautiful imperfections, embrace who and where I am now, and recommit. A recommitment with a little more power, purpose and direction. Sometimes it’s the simplest reminders that can shift us back on track, recommitted to what’s needed and wanted. I am grateful that I stumbled upon this beauty this morning. A reminder to slow down and connect with my inner environment rather than get caught up on the external. . . . Surround yourself with inspiration and you unlock your own reservoir of inspiration. Grateful for the inspiring community @orendasociety and their mission to support and inspire the next generation. Grateful for the many yogis, entrepreneurs, hustlers, and magic makers that I have the honour and privilege to play and work with all day long. Grateful for the wise words of those come and gone, and those who are alive and well, living their dream and spreading good vibes @blissology 😉. Thanks for lifting me up just by being YOU ❤️. . . . #slowdown #recommit #nourishment #selflove #createspace #mindful #meditate #grateful #support #inspire #leadbyexample #trust #focusonothers #selfcare #orenda #lovinglife #breath #grounded #beauty #fun #wegotthis #yoga #knowyourmachine #giveitwhatitneeds #lessismore

Reflecting on the joy and freedom I am so grateful to experience. I am intimately connected to the moment while aware of constant change, struggle in the world, and the fragility of life in general. I choose joy and happiness because it feels like the most efficient and pleasurable fuel, and I’m grateful to have that awareness. I want to create and experience big things in life and I know my unique path cannot be found by following anyone else or getting distracted by stagnancy rather than being focused on contribution. Sometimes life just flows and feels like pure nourishment, and I’m grateful that’s what so many days now feel like. . . . “It takes courage to open ourselves up to Joy. In fact, I believe Joy is probably the most vulnerable emotion we experience. We are afraid that if we allow ourselves to feel it, we’ll get blindsided by disaster or disappointment...In those vulnerable moments of individual or collective Joy, we need to practice gratitude“ Brene Brown in Braving the Wilderness. . . . Why you got to be so good at everything babe? 💪😘 Loving this new access point to a handstand. For anyone playing with their inversions, try this out! Walk your feet up the wall and find balance from there. The closer you walk your hands into the wall the more time you’ll get to practice finding alignment, and build your shoulder strength by walking on your hands ✨ . . #play #missingmiami #sunshine #joy #allthefeels #grateful #fun #vitd #full #playbig #create #mindfulness #mindbodycoach #strength #fitness #health #wellness #knowyourmachine #retrainyourbrain #selflove #bestself #practice #dopeame

Where your mind goes energy flows. Your mind hears and resonates with “I” and then sends energy towards whatever is said after, not discerning between “don’t want” and “want” or “already am.” Whatever comes after “I” will be the focus. So bring in positive affirmations, high quality thoughts and questions, and focus on gratitude. The chakra system does just that! Through seven main energetic channels, we focus on the empowering and enlivening concepts of what it looks like and feels like to show up as our best self. Each energetic channel is a reminder of who you truly are, what is possible, and your unique contribution in this life. . . . Chakra Pop is an experience of music, instruction, Movement, and mantras to get to know your chakra system while feeling the empowerment in action. Where there is awareness, there is choice. And where there is choice, you get access to freedom. ✨ . . . Two workshops coming up for you to come be a part of this magical practice. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Chakra Pop May 6 at 4pm, @yoganovastudio (sign up for mindbody) & May 29 at 1030am @azuridgeestate (link to register on main profile/ through my website) 🙌🏽. . . . Reach out with questions. See you soon 🤟🏽 #yoga #chakrapop #energy #learn #grow #build #musicismagic #love #strength #focus #retrain #dopeame Pic @wasif_m ❤️

“If you find yourself having to regularly indulge in consumer self-care, it’s because you’re disconnected from actual self-care, which has very little to do with “treating yourself“ and a whole lot to do with parenting yourself and making choices for your long-term wellness” ~Brianna Wiest . . . You’ve got everything you need already inside of you, and it is waiting for you behind your mind-chatter, behind your negative self-talk, and on the other side of your impulsive reactions. There are only *****2 spots left***** in The Orenda Movement (Sunday April 29, 930-5pm @friendshipfitnessyyc) where @dunnebells_ and I are going to lead the way with vulnerability to support you in your experience of letting go of what weighs you down to create space for who you truly are. Don’t hesitate much longer, we want to create some epic shifts with YOU ❤️ . . . #guidedmeditation #vulnerability #yoga #chakras #knowyourmachine #knowyournourishment #createapath #uniquepathway #retrainyourbrain #bodyweightfitness #mindfulness #mindfuleating #mindfulliving #bestself #selflove #selfcare #bethechange #community #strongertogether #mentalhealth #fun #experience #yyc #workshop #balance #wellness #health #healthyyyc

My book is my story of mental health struggles that plagued me for most of my life, reaching a tipping point when I got to SDSU on a full ride basketball scholarship and realized my happiness wasn’t going to arrive just because I was achieving big goals. I became focused on learning about my mind and body, opened my mind to yoga and meditation, and slowly practiced my way to retraining my toxic self talk patterns to become centred in a growth mindset with compassion and patience. Once I overcame my struggle I became transfixed with supporting others. My book is my gift to the world. A tool of inspiration and how-to for everyone to become the balanced and wise leader this world needs them to be. . . . I would love to get this book in the hands of young teens who are at the beginning of their struggle and wise professionals who need the tune-up and reminders to be mindful of the nourishment their mind and body needs so that their mind works with them, and not against them. . . . Reach out with questions or if you are in need of support. Mental Health is my passion and I would be thrilled to support you in any way to continue spreading the good vibes of health and wellness. You can get a copy on amazon, or in Calgary @lole17th, @livyogayyc and @chaptersindigo Chinook Mall. Ebook and audio book coming soon 🙌🏽❤️✨ . . . #mentalhealth #mystory #vulnerable #growthmindset #overcome #retrainyourbrain #bethechange #selflove #knowyourmind #knowyourmachine #weallhaveastory #herosjourney #impact #chooseyourstory #selftalk #practice #nourishment #create #corevalues #riseup #speakup #support #wearestrongertogether #passionproject #grateful #fun #dopeame #book

Some mornings I meditate for 30 seconds, others I am able to drop in and sustain for upwards of 10 minutes. I don’t compare and judge myself based on how others meditate or for how long, because I am my own person and I am focused on listening to my own body and rhythms. Sometimes 30 seconds of meditation feels like a huge accomplishment and it’s the reminder I need to slow down and connect with the silence behind the noise. Sometimes 10 minutes flies by and I find myself connected with my expansive container-ness rather than being stuck in the meanderings of my mind and the limitations of my body. Each day is different. And just as there is no perfect diet that everyone should follow, meditation is also a unique expression and practice that is yours and yours alone. Don’t get stuck in thinking that it needs to look a certain way. Just take a moment to pause, to notice your mindchatter from a witness seat, and bring your breath to your focal point. The practice expands from there. Don’t compare and judge your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 100. Do you. Start from where you are ❤️🧘🏽‍♂️✨. . . . #meditation #love #slowdown #connect #notice #calm #breathe #witness #youaremorethanyourthoughts #expand #listentosilence #behindthemindchatter #peace #contentment #chillout #calmdepths #reservoirofenergy #knowyourmind #letitbe #startsomewhere #letgo #myview #miami #grateful #bestself #dopeame
