last night was the first time I’ve been able to do camel pose. my hand placement is a little off and my hips could be straighter, but this is a 👌🏼huuuge👌🏼 accomplishment for me. Last year I went through yoga teacher training and taught classes in Arizona. S/o to all my best friends I made during it 🤩. but outside of my training, I was physically and mentally I was closed off, hurting, growing, learning and giving so much at once. camel pose is linked to the heart chakra, Anahata, that expresses and receives compassion and love🖤. this year I’ve done a lot of growing⚡️ and really really really believe in yoga and the connection between human emotion and the chakras. If there’s a place in your body you are hurting, I encourage you to do research on the chakras and how to incorporate them into a yoga practice. If you’re feeling like you’re losing your voice and are afraid to speak up/communicate focus on your throat chakra, and do a pose like bridge pose. I know I sound a little too LA to live in Boston, but yoga is a great tool for healing and growing. 🖤 and you can do it anywhere 🧘🏼‍♀️

| on your mark | Game on. That fear you feel before you take a leap of faith is telling you something. I read, “the more fear we feel about a specific enterprise, the more certain we can be that that enterprise is important to us and to the growth of our soul.” @steven_pressfield . Damn.
