Continue to strive to show everyone your true self. It is beautiful!

“What I liked about the rainbow is that it fits all of us. It’s all the colors. It represents all the genders. It represents all the races. It’s the rainbow of humanity.” — Gilbert Baker

Our student Beatrice is on an amazing trip through Africa and other countries. I wanted to share this experience from her as I was so moved by it:

"We passed thru the Doors of No Return and I felt the pain of my ancestors as well as their pride in my successful return as a "free black woman". I shared a beautiful and magical moment when a white woman approached & hugged me. She began to pray in a language I didn’t understand. It might have been Fulani, Wolof or Twi. The gesture was so powerful it overcame any language barriers. A prayer always sounds like a prayer. It evoked such a calmness and I was immediately comforted. Our humanity is in desperate need of more love and prayer regardless of language or denomination. That lady was not on my tour. I had no idea who she was or where she came from. One minute she as there and then she wasn't. Perhaps she was an angel..."

May we all have moments of grace like Beatrice experienced.

Great reminder of what we talk about at the studio. Kindness to yourself matters!

To all women who have nurtured so many souls over the years😍Today is your day!

It’s so hard to know we are enough. It doesn’t mean we don’t strive to continue to be better people. It means we stop beating ourselves and stop letting our inner critic take over our narrative. You are enough!

Think of the many times you offer kindness to others. It’s also important to receive kindness from others too. We’re not alone. We’re part of a community!

Hope all of our students feel this energy from us when they come to their mat. Yoga is more than physical stretch and physical strength. Its about stretching your mind and strengthening your inner being. Know your community is there for you.

I love how a beloved child's author sees things so clearly. We talk ourselves out of so many things on and off of our mat. Next time you question yourself, remember this quote or maybe pick up a child's book for inspiration!
