For my yoga practice + how it always shows me where I need to lean in, and where I need to let go 🧘🏼‍♀️ Continuously reminding me that I have all the tools I need, that I have everything I need, and that no matter where I am, I am always home 👣 . ✧ Today I’m feeling extra thankful for the sun ☀️ And the ocean, and the sound of birds singing, and the breeze blowing, and the lush green foliage that comes from summer rain🌿 Time spent outdoors. In nature. Grounding. Disconnecting from the material — screens, things, and gossip — And tuning in to a higher frequency to the natural rhythms of the world around me. A part of the whole, not separate from it 🌎 . ✧ And my #commUNITY 🙏 My sacred group of healers, teachers, family, loved ones, friends close and far — How wonderful the world is simply because you’re in it. I give thanks to my tribe 💕 Those who know me, those who see right through me, those who call me on my shit, and remind me of my worth. Thank you for supporting me and believing in me and making this life so unbelievably rad 🥂 . ✧ ✨SOLSTICE BLESSINGS EVERYONE ⚡️ AND HAPPY YOGA DAY✨ Continue to count your blessings in life. Sometimes the most simple, basic things are the ones that bring us the most joy ☺️ Wishing my fellow northern hemi friends a happy summer and my southern hemi friends a great winter. May these next few months hold offer more space for peace, compassion + respect in all our hearts ✌️💛 . ✧ Words written yesterday after at 108 sun salutations #yogahigh 🙃 . . . . ✧ 📷 x @francesdavisphotography #yoga #surfing #lifestyle #sunburntandsalty #summersolstice #solsticeblessings #celebrateyogaday #somuchgratitude #livingyoga #communityyoga #GLOWyogafam #livingsimply #rinconimages #108sunsalutations #wakeupandlive #thisismyyoga #yogaforsurfers #yogaforeverybody #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday #prlovesyoga Tomorrow marks the Summer Solstice here in the northern hemisphere, welcoming the long, hot days + short-but-sweet nights 🌞 . ✧ Many cultures, religions, and groups of people hold this day as sacred and perform different “rituals” to honor this new season - reconnecting to nature and giving thanks for the vital, life-force-energy of the sun. Many yoga practitioners across the world join together for 108 Sun Salutations as a way to honor this transitional time of year 🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏿 . ✧ But why?? Why 108? And what exactly do the Solstice + Sun Salutations represent?? I’ve put together a blog post over on sunburntandsalty.com/blog answering some of these questions as well as a few more. It’s a beautiful practice and a powerful way to begin a new season 🌱🌈 . ✧ If you’re around Rincón, join me at El Faro at 6:30am TOMORROW for 108 SUN SALUTATIONS! I’ll begin by leading the group through a short meditation + the first round of our sun salutes. Then... You’ll be on your own! Moving through your practice as you please. Plan for an hour + a half but you are invited to come for as long as you can. It’s free to everyone. And most importantly, it’s not about doing all 108 to total perfection, it’s about the intention you bring + the space that you hold 💕 Message me with questions and I hope to see you there ☺️ . . . . ✧ #salutethesun #solstice108 #summersolstice #sunsalutations #suryanamaskar #rinconyoga #yoga #rincon #puertorico #sunburntandsalty #salutethesea #sacredritual #newseason #honoring #connection #nature #naturalrhythm #commUNITY #communityyoga #livingyoga #livingsimply #GLOWyogafam #vibratehigher #wakeupandlive #longestday #soakupthesun #timeforgrowth #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday #prlovesyoga Wake up and salute the sun ☀️ 108 Sun Salutations THIS Thursday at the Lighthouse of Rincón. We’ll meet at 6:30am and move through this powerful ritual at our own pace - plan for about an hour + a half. This is an opportunity to welcome the Summer Solstice and give thanks to the sun that sustains all life 🌱 It’s also a powerful way to shed the layers from the past few months and start fresh, energized and empowered as you step into a new season 🙏🦋 . ✧ Everyone is welcome to join. There is no charge and I’ll lead the group thru the first set of Sun Salutations and then you’ll be on your own. There’s no right or wrong way to complete this practice. And it really doesn’t matter if you perfectly complete all 108. What really matters is that you show up - present, open, + mindful - and honor this practice for the sacred ritual that it is 🌸 Message me if you have any questions. Otherwise I hope to see you there! . ✧ 📷 x @fionapeters 💙 . . . . ✧ #yoga #surfing #lifestyle #sunburntandsalty #salutethesun #salutethesea #summersolstice #internationalyogaday #108sunsalutations #108suryanamaskar #suryanamaskar #sacredritual #practiceon #sewnbysophia #livingyoga #livingsimply #connectedtonature #wakeupandlive #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday #prlovesyoga Blissful B A L I hikes 🌿 Let’s frolic in the jungle, do lots of yoga, and eat really yummy vegan food 🥥🍉 Only a couple spots left! @GLOWyogaretreats Summer in Bali — Aug 13-18 — invest in your wellness & pay-it-forward to communities in need.

And while these words hold truth and may inspire us buy that ticket that takes us across the world, the words that you often don’t are that traveling creates a lot of pollution and a lot of waste, especially in the beautiful destinations that you’re adventuring to. Now I know this is nothing new, but for me personally, I didn’t fully comprehend the effects that traveling has on the planet until my first visit to Bali in September 2016. The amount of waste I saw around the island was mind-blowing. Heart-wrenching. Left me feeling like our planet was doomed 😓 . ✧ But wallowing in negativity is not my style, so I allowed this observation to serve as a wake up call, a reminder that if I want the future generations to have a planet to explore and enjoy, I must actively participate in doing my part - right now - to lessen the negative impact I have on this place that we all call home. Because for those of us who itch to see the world, surf perfect waves, and experience the beauty and diversity of other cultures, not traveling is simply out of the question. So, the question then becomes: How can we travel more mindfully? ✈️ . ✧ TO READ MORE click the link in my bio.

It woke me up in a way that a slap across the face, or an unexpected shower of cold water would. I can’t remember it word for word, but it went something along the lines of: If you have the time to complain, scroll aimlessly in comparison, or wallow in self-doubt, then you also have the time to meditate, journal, set goals, and do the things that raise your vibration ⚡️ Each one of us has a choice as to what we prioritize. So why not make it a priority to check-in with and take care of yourself? Let go of the things that no longer serve you and make the time for the things that do. Then watch the blessings unfold 🌸 . ✧ TWO more chances to roll out your mat with me before I take off for a few weeks: * Tonight (WED) at 6pm // 90min Vinyasa Flow at @CentroLaPaz * THU at 5:45pm // 75min Vinyasa Flow at Centro La Paz 🌻Please note: RINCÓN #commUNITY YOGA is still ON while I’m away, thanks to Steve from @harmonycenter413 for stepping up to teach.

It’s a full-body (and I mean FULL body) workout that helps to strengthen the legs, core, back and shoulders. Even at a gentle pace your core and legs are working hard to keep you stable. Get moving a little faster and you’ll also enjoy the benefits of a cardio workout, too 💓 Plus it gets you outdoors, on/in the water, and under the sun... therapy for the body, mind + soul ☀️ . ✧ Here are a few ways I like to cross-train with a SUP: * LONG DISTANCE: An hour or so trying to maintain a steady pace. * PADDLE SPRINTS: 30sec all out with a 1min steady recovery. Repeat 10x. * LAND + SEA (inspired by @VillaPlayaMaria): Warm up paddle for 20mins, return to the beach for 3 sets of your favorite circuit (running, squats, sit-ups, push-ups, burpees, etc), then back to the water for a 20min cool down paddle. * SUP STRENGTH + YOGA: One of my favorites! Paddle hard upwind, then enjoy the ride downwind by moving through your favorite yoga sequence or body-weight strength exercises. Squats, planks, downdog or inversions becoming “boring” on land? Then try ‘em on a paddleboard - game changer 🤸🏼‍♀️ . ✧ So, do you paddleboard? Stand up or prone? Do you use it as a way to cross train?

And those of you who took the time to respond to my last post (thank you so much, btw 😘) seem to agree with me 🤸🏼‍♀️ . ✧ Yoga has been a major part of my life for over 7 years now and it has helped me to improve my surfing, and if I’m being totally honest my quality of life, exponentially. Physically, a consistent yoga practice has helped me to: develop core strength + overall body awareness, increase my flexibility + range of motion, and keeps me agile + injury-free which allows me to surf longer and push myself a little harder. Mentally, a consistent yoga practice has taught me to: slow down, be present, let go of things I can’t control, and it gives me the tools to stay calm in the face of fear and challenge 🌊 . ✧ I am committed to stepping onto my mat daily. If the waves are pumping it may just be a quick 15-20 min practice to help me actively stretch and get in my body. If it’s flat I may up my practice to an hour or even 90min. And I chose this older picture to post because it’s pretty true to how my practice typically looks - at home with my cat (or both cats) sharing the mat with me ☺️🐱 . ✧ If you’re a surfer, do you regularly practice yoga? If so, what style and how often? If not, do you have something else you like to do to that compliments / helps you in the water? Let me know in the comments below 👇 I’ll also be sharing a few more ways I like to cross train and stay in surfing shape when the waves are flat over the next week. So keep checking back 💙 . ✧ And to all my RINCON YOGIS: #commUNITY Yoga is ON tomorrow {Sunday} at 9:30am at El Faro. Bring your yoga mat or a towel, drinking water, and an open heart. Class is free and open to everyone 🌴🌸 . ✧ #yoga #surfing #lifestyle #sunburntandsalty #highvibes #crosstrain #yogaforsurfing #yogaforsurfers #whenthewavesareflat #surfingandyoga #healthblog #wellnessblog #yogablog #surfblog #livingyoga #livingsimply #yogawithcats #communityyoga #rincon #puertorico #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday #prlovesyoga #prlohacemejor I‘m pretty sure this sequence was from our last run of decent surf — the 4/20 swell where I spent almost the whole day in the water, under the sun, and sharing fun waves with lots of rad friends. One of those “perfect” days in my mind, coming home sunburnt, salty, and completely surfed out... I’m hoping that we somehow *magically* get another little swell before summer officially sets in, but if that doesn’t happen, that’s cool too, because I can think of a lot of other ways to stay active and to keep my gills from drying out 🧜‍♀️💙 . ✧ As surfers, we’re used to the ocean going flat...unless you’re one of the lucky ones to have access to a good wave pool... And correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think there’s anywhere in the world that is always pumping all the time, right!? Every spot has its season, and waves definitely don’t come on demand, and the ocean will always be a powerful teacher of patience and letting go of control... So, I’d love to hear from YOU! What are some of your favorite activities to do when the surf goes flat?? Let me know in the comments below 👇 And I’ll share a few of mine over the next few days! 🌞✨ . ✧ #yoga #surfing #highvibeliving #sunburntandsalty #surfedout #fourtwentyswell #tbt #whatdoyoudo #whentheoceangoesflat #practiceyoga #snorkel #paddleboard #freedive #livingyoga #livingsimply #wakeupandlive #getoutside #summertime #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday #prlohacemejor
