Tonight during yoga practice the mantra was rāma, for courage as the focus of the class was Tapas (one of the 5 Niyamas in the traditional yogic practice). Tapas is Sanskrit meaning discipline or austerity. Cultivating a sense of self-discipline and courage in order to burn away ‘impurities’ physically, mentally and emotionally, creating room for our true greatness to shine through. Tapas can be observed on the mat by being still in an asana, observing the mind and breath or it can be observed in every day life such as having the inner wisdom to let go of bad habits or having the courage not to listen to negative thought patterns that tell us we’re ‘not good enough’ or ‘strong enough’. How can you practice tapas in your daily life? What do you need to pay more attention to?

Some practice handstand because it’s a fancy pose or it’s fun. (Sometimes being upside down is scary, right?) I’ve realized my perspective has shifted from fancy pose to a way to challenge my mind to balance with my body. * And each day my mental strength increases along with physical strength. * Summer has been filled with ups and downs, but I’m managing with more grace and self-love than before. This, I know for sure. * * #holistichealth #handstand #balance #mindbodysoul #yogainspiration #practicepracticepractice #practiceyogachangeyourworld #challenge #selflove #strength #confidence

Despite an emotional week, I am smiling because... *I am courageous to acknowledge my past story of all the positives and negatives. *I am brave to sit with these emotions and feel them to heal. *I am strong. *I choose to create space around thoughts that don’t serve me. *I diffuse old patterns to rewrite a new story because my past doesn’t define me. *I live. • • This has been a huge season of transformation and I am beyond blessed and grateful for my spiritual coach and acupuncturist and IIN for inspiring this healing and growth process. • • Listening to @highestselfpodcast #transformation #meditation #spiritualcoach #acupunctureworks #holistichealing #holistichealth #holistichealthcoach #smile #speakyourtruth #brainhealthmatters #mindfulness #integrativenutrition #instituteforintegrativenutrition
