To me, there are very few things more incredible than being able to practice yoga with your favorite teachers. Ame Wren has such a lovely way of teaching and an even more beautiful heart, and learning from her is such an amazing gift. After years of me practicing yoga, she remains one of the only teachers I’ve ever had that is always able to help facilitate a very special sense of peace and attention in my body and soul. She led me through this pose tonight, one that might just be my favorite twist ever- it’s helping to create space in a part of my body where a lot of tension, stress, and sadness has been building up. Try to locate those areas in your body, maybe where you’re collecting depression or attachment or anxiety. Even if it might terrify you, stay there and breathe. Invite that pain in. Have a drink with it. Eventually those dark clouds will just roll away, you just have to give it time.  {

DICE STOP BEING MY HERO.

This family of three came to every single one of my Sunday classes for the past month or two.  They were too adorable for words, so naturally I had to snap this picture during savasana at the last class I’ll teach to them for a few months.  I’ll miss them tons! {

wow. wow wow wow wow.  

This is my teacher Aaron Cantor. But since I’ve met him, he’s become so much more than that. An inspiration, a motivator, a friend.

This video pretty much made me cry because it is 100% him. It’s 100% Aaron and that’s why it’s great.

I can’t wait to be around positivity like this again.  

Did I ever tell you guys that my best friend Laura Ahrens (@laurahrens) was featured in a Lululemon newsletter?

Gah she’s wonderful.  {
