And don’t forget that our Intermediate/Advanced Sunday class is THIS Sunday from 9:30am-11:00! . #Repost @tiffylou ・・・ I’m leading a silent meditation at 8:40 followed by an All Levels class at 9:30 this Friday morning @yogaselah. I’m substitute teaching for @bextrussell while she learns new tricks at yoga therapy graduate school. Meditation and yoga are dear to me and I am thankful to share the practice. Join me. ☺️

  • Tomorrow at 6:30pm! Yoga Magic: A Potter Practice. #Repost @wildyogithing ・・・ Harry Potter as a Spiritual Practice ↠ I’ve learned so much about working with the Harry Potter novels as sacred texts from @hpsacredtext, and one of my favorite sacred reading practices to do now {especially in conversation with @annalaurahhh} is a medieval monastic practice called Florilegium. The idea is that you can reach into the text and pick out any few pieces, like collecting flowers on a walk, and the pieces will harmonize to make new meaning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m reading the final Harry Potter book right now, and it’s been profound and bittersweet in the way that it speaks to the “figure-it-out” phase that comes after we lose the parameters of formal education and a younger, guided life, but one of my favorite chapters so far has been a remarkable one called “The Silver Doe.” I picked two pieces of text from its pages: “The arms that closed around his chest were surely Death’s....” and “For she was nothing but light.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The arms that closed around his chest were surely death’s... for she was nothing but light. I read this as death = light. This calls me so powerfully to the idea within many spiritual traditions that we are made of light, we come from light, and we will return to light. Death is a returning to the light that is our true essence, and every time we return to who we truly are in life, it’s a little death that brings us closer to the light of the soul. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I share all of this to say that I am so excited to bring practices like this to @yogaselah just 10 days from now! Please join me for my witchy *Yoga Magic: A Potter Practice* workshop on Friday, October 5th at 6:30 pm, where we’ll practice enchanted yoga postures, magical meditation, and engage with spiritual practices like this one to listen deeply for the ways that these beloved texts speak to our hearts. You’ll even have the chance to stay for a free + wicked HP movie screening.

  • “...begin the day not with a to do list but a not to do list, a moment outside of the time-bound world in which it can be reordered and reprioritized. In this space of undoing and silence we create a foundation from which to re-imagine our day and ourselves. Beginning the daily conversation from a point of view of freedom and being untethered allows us to re-see ourselves, to reenter the world as if for the first time. We give ourself and our accomplishments, our ambitions, and our over-described hopes away, in order to see in what form they return to us”. — David Whyte
  • Have you made some space in your schedule for practice this week? A look at tomorrow’s schedule: 6:00am - Sunrise Flow w/ Pat. 9:30am - Level 1 w/ @tiffylou. 5:00pm - All Levels w/ @ericarasconyoga. 6:15pm - Foundations w/ @bextrussell. 7:30pm - Intermediate/Advanced w/ Taylor. #Repost @ericarasconyoga ・・・ Remind yourself, "Something wonderful is happening." All day. Each day. Even when your plans are thrown off, or you're facing a situation that would normally make you uncomfortable. . . . Santosha, or contentment, is one of the niyamas, a twig (lol) within the 8 limbs of yoga. I find that I am most content when I remind myself of what is going well and what I am grateful for. For example, I may be running late because of traffic (grr!) but it's wonderful to have a friend to visit. It's wonderful to have transportation to see her. All that has fallen into place to create this moment--my health, my history, the present--has worked together wonderfully. I can (try to) be content, even in traffic, because of that. . . . . #yoga #balance #strength #igyogafam #sistersofyoga #blackgirlyoga #yogaeverydamnday #health #fitness #blackyogis #afrofitness #philosophy
  • We are so excited to have @wildyogithing offer her Yoga Magic class at Yoga Selah! Yoga is an eight-limbed practice which includes physical movement, meditation, service, devotion and more. The foundations and principles of this ancient practice are laid out in sacred texts like the Vedas, the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita— but what can we learn about the Yogic Path from a beloved, modern, and magical text? This Harry-Potter themed yoga practice aims to find out! We’ll practice enchanted asana inspired by the Wizarding World, engage in a sacred reading practice with the text, sit for a 7-chakra guided meditation themed around each of Harry’s 7 years at Hogwarts, and more. All of our work together will center around this question: What can Harry, his friends, and their experiences teach us about living as an open-hearted yogi in the world? Date: Saturday, October 5th. Time: 6:30pm. Cost: $16 drop in or use your class package. We will be hanging out after class to watch one of the HP movies, so wear your comfiest clothes and join us! (Movie is complimentary for class participants only). Link to register in profile.
  • Equipoise: a state of equilibrium; balance. • #Repost @tiffylou ・・・ The acupuncturist I see told me that fall is the best season for balancing my body type. I proceeded by telling him how much I dislike the fall. He said that was probably because fall calls on me to use the weaker parts of my body, which makes me uncomfortable (like taking a deep breath of clear, crisp air with my lungs, which are my weakest organ, according to him). This made me think about what other things I may be missing out on because of my “distaste” for them. Yoga is a great practice for discovering and sitting with discomfort (discomfort is very different from pain). Happy first day of fall, y’all.
  • Beauty is the harvest of presence, the evanescent moment of seeing or hearing on the outside what already lives far inside us; the eyes, the ears or the imagination suddenly become a bridge between the here and the there, between then and now, between the inside and the outside; beauty is the conversation between what we think is happening outside in the world and what is just about to occur far inside us. - David Whyte
  • How are you finding balance this week? . #Repost @wildyogithing ・・・ A balance. ⚡️ Creating, giving, sharing... pausing and restoring, too. Maybe it’s a cliche at this point, but the work is real. Like Ma Jaya said, you’ve got to learn to drink as you pour. Here’s the thing: I want to share a new yoga practice with you on YouTube. It’s about that time. My intention has been to publish a new class around once a month as much as I’m able, and today would have been a perfect day to film. But I couldn’t teach yoga today. Just... nope. You know? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today is my first day off of teaching or holding space in quite some time, and I’m teaching at least two classes a day on most of the days that I do teach. And while I’m immensely grateful for the abundance and flow in my life right now, and while teaching is my sweet sweet love, I needed a day to *not* teach. To keep my energy to myself. I hope you know you deserve that, too, just because you do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So while I draw inward a bit, I’ll simply ask: what kind of yoga practice would benefit you this week? What do you need— physically, energetically, spirituality? Let me know below. I’d love to meet you where you are. I’ll be sharing by the end of the week. Thank you for being in community with me. ❤️🌙
  • Where will your practice take you this week? Beginners Series starts tonight at 6:15pm! #Repost @janahanalei ・・・
  • Rebecca is leaving tomorrow to begin her Yoga Therapy program at @muihealth this week! We’re looking forward to adding yoga therapy alongside our other fantastic programs here at Yoga Selah!
  • We’re so excited to have Erica back on our regular teaching schedule! Erica will be teaching our Monday evening Restorative class at 6:15pm. It’s an amazing way to start your week. • #Repost @ericarasconyoga ・・・ Hey you! Yes, you. You need some restorative yoga in your life. You need some muscle relaxin’, mood stabilizin’, self-lovin’ and deep breath takin’ rejuvenation time **intentionally** built into your schedule. I will be teaching restorative yoga classes every Monday at 6:15pm @yogaselah in Cumming, GA. Join me! If you’re new to restorative yoga, it’s all the things that I mentioned above and more. As the name suggests, the practice is designed to help your body restore and repair itself, particularly the nervous system, muscles, and brain. When practiced consistently, restorative yoga can help to reduce inflammation, decrease chronic pain, and minimize the symptoms of anxiety and stress. A 2009 study in the Journal of Yoga Therapy revealed that with six weeks of practice, students reported more restful sleep, less hyperarousal, and an improved sense of wellbeing. Mark your calendar to join me on the mat each Monday! All the props that you need will be provided by the studio. #yoga #restorativeyoga #mentalhealth #foco #yogateacher #rest #peace
  • Happy weekend, y’all! Remember to move your spine, no matter where your weekend takes you! • #Repost @tiffylou ・・・ I want to give this posture a hug.

  • While it’s fun to think of #evilshittodowithblocks and figuring out ways to use props to prep or make things more challenging, sometimes it’s just nice to use a block under the hand in triangle pose. Try using a prop in your practice today, even if you don’t “need” it, and notice the nuances using a prop can bring to the pose.
  • This week is sailing by FAST. Make some space for practice today! #Repost @tiffylou ・・・ Join me for yogahour at 5pm today @yogaselah! Word of the day: ANCHOR.
