  Pose of the day: gomukasana. In yin yoga, certain poses correlate to the meridian system. This pose activates the gall bladder meridian running up the outside of your legs. When our gall bladder meridian is out of balance we tend to have more fear and anxiety in our lives. By stretching and activating this meridian it begins to come back into balance, cultivating more courage in ourselves. Relax the muscles in your legs as you feel the stretch. Cultivate awareness of your breath and acceptance on a cellular level as you move toward your comfortable edge in the pose. #yoga #yogaaday #yogaeverydamnday

  "The flower shows us the way, as its passion for life leads it out of the darkness and into the light. There is no point fighting against the challenges of life, or trying to avoid or deny them. They are there, and if the seed is to become the flower we must go through them. Be courageous enough to grow into the flower you are meant to be." ~Osho ...admiring the last blossoms on park avenue this morning. #quote #inspiration #goodmorning

  I took an amazing class in the anusara tradition with Elena Brower in NYC today at her studio, @virayoga. She reminded us to expand our silence in each pose... Think of the people in your life who have grown their silence with you through listening. How can you grow your silence and presence with them? #inspiration #yoga #nyc

  10 Days of Love - Day 9: I am free. I woke up with a huge sense of freedom this morning. I thought about what freedom means and how we can cultivate it in our lives, and with some insights on "whole-hearted living" from Brene Brown, came up with my own meaning for freedom. Freedom is stepping into the life you want to live and letting go of what others expect of you. Freedom is cultivating gratitude and joy while letting go of what others think of you. Freedom is stating to the world, "I am enough" while letting go of a mindset stuck in scarcity. Freedom is trusting your intuition and having faith while letting go of the need for certainty. Freedom is cultivating play and rest while letting go of exhaustion and anxiety as a lifestyle. Freedom is surrounding yourself with love  and laughter . Here's a picture of me practicing acroyoga on the beach in Tulum, Mexico. It was a pure moment experiencing this kind of freedom. #10DaysOfLove #Freedom #Day9 #tbt #yoga #acroyoga

  10 Days of Love - Day 8: My favorite inversion. Headstand! Headstand was the first inversion I mastered. I remember practicing everyday to strengthen my ab muscles and move away from the wall. I was so proud when I finally got it! I love headstand because it is like a natural energy shot! My old Iyengar teacher used to always say, "practice headstand 3 minutes a day and you will look 10 years younger." First practice against the wall and focus on putting weight into your forearms. Follow up with shoulderstand to neutralize the nervous system and stretch the neck. It's so healthy to be upside down for a few minutes everyday! #10daysoflove #day8 #yoga #headstand #inversion

  10 Days of Love - Day 7: Find your true north. I remember the day I went to my first yoga class in New York City. I was in awe of the teacher, so powerfully speaking to such a large room of people. I thought, "Now THAT is something I could never do." The more classes I went to, the more I learned about my body and watched it heal. Pain and tension headaches from stress and anxiety in my life began to go away. I kept going to class and eventually went to a yoga teacher training in Mexico. My intention was not to become a teacher, but continue learning in my practice. I was so scared to take the risk of speaking so vulnerably in front of a large group of people. Yet, on my last day, I faced my fear, taught a class and felt nothing but love from my fellow yogis. The rush and sense of accomplishment I felt after facing my fear while helping others was like nothing I had felt before. I've taken many small steps since then to face my fears and grow as a teacher, but I now see my yoga practice as a guiding compass both on and off the mat. I now choose to lean into life. My passion is to inspire and awaken others through my teaching and their own practice. True north is facing my fears and (hand) standing strong in my truth. #10daysoflove #day7 #truenorth #yogalove

  10 Days Of Love: Day 6: Be unique. One of Gautama Buddha's most valuable teachings was, "Be a light unto yourself." No one can guide you down your own unique path but yourself. Here's a photo from my first weeks in India riding a sweet elephant, Ganesha. I traveled to India by myself searching for a path: a teacher, a guru, or community to follow and be supported by. It wasn't until a dear friend reminded me, "Be a light unto yourself. You are the way. Your path is your own" did I let go of the idea of "following" and began to create my own way. I feel my unique-ness comes from my own life experience, my choice to take what works for me from my teachers and share my light in my own compassionate way. Remember your path is your own. Be still. Listen. And walk. #BeUnique #10DaysOfLove #Day6

  10 Days of Love - Day 5: Wanderlust. wan·der·lust (wndr-lst) n. - A very strong or irresistible impulse to travel. Last summer I took a roadtrip with my boyfriend from San Francisco to Vancouver for... Wanderlust Whistler! We were so excited for our first road trip in his new car to another country! We visited friends along the coast of the Pacific Northwest stopping in Eugene, Portland, Olympia, Seattle and Port Townshend. It was wonderful to get out of our normal routine, see how our friends were living in other cities, and take spontaneous stops and detours like the one in this picture, where we wandered upon a magical madrone tree forest off the 101. As for my dream destination? I'd love to go to Wanderlust in Tahoe, travel back to India, and have a yoga + beach vacation on the coast of Thailand... there's so much to see! #10DaysOfLove #Day5 #wanderlust

  10 Days of Love - Day 4: My favorite yoga pose. Today for @yoga_girl and @wanderlust fest's instagram photo assignment, my favorite yoga pose: Utthita Parsvakonasana. In this pose I feel grounded in my strength, held by the earth and radiant with love as I reach up and open my heart to the sky. To take my practice outside is even better, I can't help but smile!  #10daysoflove

  10 Days of Love - Day 3: I am grateful. Todays assignment for @yoga_girl and @wanderlustfest's #10DaysOfLove is all about #GRATITUDE. Today I am grateful for the infinite #ABUNDANCE of nature. I have been finding 4 leaf clovers around my home almost everyday in the last few weeks. This phenomenon reminds me of nature's resilience and exuberance for LIFE. Clovers continue to grow after being mowed, a blade of grass peaks through a concrete sidewalk, and flowers continue to blossom when the snow melts. Nature reminds me to let go of a scarcity mindset and embrace the beauty of my alive-ness. #Day3 #lucky #manifestation #nature #beauty

  10 Days of Love - Day 2: Practice random acts of kindness. Today for @wanderlustfest and @yoga_girl's photo challenge for 10 Days of Love we're capturing random acts of kindness. I just found the first postcard I designed for the Sivananda yoga center SF over 2 years ago. Tired of bar hopping and party life, I walked into the Sivananda center on a whim one day and asked, "How can I help?" I had no intention to earn money, but rather to become a karma yogi - a yogi of service. The swami gave me a tour, asked me my skills and excitedly brought me into his office to see if I could help with design and promotion for their yoga classes. I gave it a shot and eventually updated their promotional materials, coming in several days a week to work with the swami. The humbling experience opened me to an amazing community, fulfilling spiritual life and introduced me to some of my best friends. I now know random acts of kindness always lead to a more fulfilling life. #10DaysOfLove #bekind #practicerandomactsofkindness #love #design #tbt #service #karmayoga #gratitude @zensamuel

  10 Days of Love - Day 1: A moment of pure love. I'm participating in @yoga_girl and @wanderlustfest's photo-a-day contest for a ticket to this summer's wanderlust festival! Today's assignment: a moment of pure love. After months of searching for a place of our own, my boyfriend @michaelzeligs and I finally found our most wonderful cottage in northern california. Today we enjoyed our first picnic in the grass of our backyard, and rolled around in the sunshine. Through all the stress of searching for a roof over our head, I realized I always felt at home when he was near. I snapped this photo in a moment that really shows the pure love I feel when we are together. #10DaysOfLove #Day1 #wanderlustfestival #purelove #iloveyou #yoga
