My most favorite playground🌀 And here’s to hoping that this winter season will continue to provide 🙌🌊 . ✧ The Winter Solstice is two weeks away, marking the official start to winter as well as the transition to longer days and shorter nights. As a way to celebrate the closing of a year, the beginning of a season, and the transitions along the way, I’ll be holding space for a #SOLSTICE108 - 108 Sun Salutations at the Lighthouse on Friday, Dec 21st at 7am 🌘 . ✧ It’s a beautiful tradition and a powerful personal offering, and I’d love if you’d join me! The practice is FREE and open to everyone. If you’d like to receive more info about this event and future events, please sign up for my newsletter by clicking on the link in my bio 🙏🌸 Happy Friday everyone 🥂 . . . . ✧ #yoga #surfing #highvibeliving #sunburntandsalty #rinconpuertorico #wintersolstice #108sunsalutations #saluethesun #salutethesea #communityyoga #karmayoga #movingmeditation #honoringtheprocess #livingyoga #livingsimply #GLOWyogafam #yogaforsurfers #yogaforeverybody #practiceon #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday #prlovesyoga #prlohacemejor Feeling motivated, inspired, and excited 💃 I’m in the middle of planning lots of fun things for this upcoming year, as well as a little end of the year celebration in the form of sun salutations (say, whattt!?) coming up on the solstice ☀️🙌 . ✧ If you want to stay in the loop and keep connected about upcoming events + all other things #sunburntandsalty, click on the link in my bio and SIGN UP for my newsletter, which I’ll be sending out early next week - and hopefully monthly after that 💙 . ✧ I’m looking forward to sharing more of my practices in fun and unique ways with my community - both physically here in Rincon and also through the crazy + wonderful world of social media. Through yoga, time with nature, and other creative outlets like writing and photography, I’ve found a deep sense of peace + understanding of who I am and what I want out of life. These practices continue to help me stoke the inner fire of living a passionate life, they also help me keep my anxiety at ease so I can be present and awake in every moment of each day. And these practices are tools that are accessible to everyone, and tools that I hope to share with you as a way to support you on your own unique, challenging, beautiful journey through life ✌️🌸🌿 . . ✧ #yoga #surfing #highvibeliving #sunburntandsalty #rinconpuertorico #yogaworkshops #communityevents #wintersolstice #solstice108 #newyear #goalsetting #journalingworkshops #manifestinggreatness #livingyoga #livingsimply #lapazrincon #oceanstateofmind #practiceon #GLOWyogafam #wellnessblog #yogaforsurfers #creativeoutlet #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday #prlovesyoga A week full of fun waves & I’m finally feeling a little bit surfed out 💙 If you’re in Rincón, join me on your mat this evening {6pm} at @CentroLaPaz to realign + rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit ☯️ . ✧ Tonight’s class is an all-levels, 90min Yang-to-Yin Flow.

Ever since I was a little girl the ocean and her waves have inspired me, motivated me, and molded me into who I am today. Pretty much every major decision I’ve had to make so far in this lifetime has been based around the sea and her energy — Skipping school events to chase waves (thanks mom + dad!), picking a University closest to a beach with consistent surf, deciding to forego the typical 9-to-5 American “dream” to move to Puerto Rico, working jobs that give me freedom in my schedule, living a simple life so I can save enough $$ to travel and surf waves I’ve always dreamed of... The ocean has given me SO much. And not just an abundance of memories and stories, but life lessons that have helped to shape me into the woman I am right now — The importance of confidence, strength, and humility. Overcoming fears. Unlocking my potential. Learning when I need to put my chin down and paddle hard, and when I need to just surrender and go with the flow. An understanding of my connection to this Earth and its beings, and a deep respect for this amazing and beautiful planet that we all call home. Mamma ocean has been so much a part of my life, since before I can remember, that I can’t imagine life without her. So thank you Mamma, for helping to raise me, guide me, challenge me, and inspire me... I am a #WOMANOFTHEWATER , And I am damn proud 🧜‍♀️🌊 . . ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ . . @thisisforthewomen and @wearemona have teamed up to showcase powerful ‘Women of the Water’ who are taking up space in the big blue.

Yoga is the practice of celebrating what is. At the end of the hero’s journey, he finds that he did not need to go anywhere, that all he sought was inside him all along. Dorothy, having traveled across time and space to the land of Oz, and having struggled desperately to find her way back to Kansas, discovers that she could have gone home at any time. In the end, she learns that her adventures have simply brought her to the point where she can believe this. It is the aim of all spiritual seeking to bring us home, home to the understanding that we already have everything we need 💚🌿Rolf Gates x #MeditationsfromtheMat . . ✧ #yoga #surfing #highvibeliving #sunburntandsalty #spiritualpractice #spiritualgangster #rolfgates #tuesdaydaydreams #bali #indonesia #rinconpuertorico #wakeupandlive #livingyoga #livingsimply #GLOWyogafam #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday Kicking off the week the best possible way 💕👣🌊 If you’re around Rincón roll out your mat with me sometime this week . ✧ ☀️MONDAY {9am} 60min Vinyasa Flow @CentroLaPaz . 🌙WEDNESDAY {6pm} 90min Yang-to-Yin Flow at #CentroLaPaz . ✨FRIDAY {10am} subbing Hatha Flow at Centro La Paz . 🐾SUNDAY{9:30am} Monthly Rincón #commUNITY Yoga at El Faro to benefit @thepuertoricodogfund . . ✧ 📷 x @mondaynomads #yoga #surfing #lifestyle #sunburntandsalty #highvibeliving #lapazrincon #rinconpuertorico #communityyoga #mondaynomads #bumicollective #alohafrombali #yogaforsurfing #surfingandyoga #morningroutine #movingmeditation #livingyoga #livingsimply #wakeupandlive #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday The auction for this lilac crystal opal gem by @summer_love_jewelry + a @sunburntandsalty crop top ends tomorrow!!!

It’s crazy how fast time flies. It’s even crazier to notice how much has changed (in the best way possible) over the last 365 days. So as we all begin to drift into these final weeks of 2018, I’m recommitting. I’m making my practice of presence a priority. Because while we can learn a lot from looking at our past, and while it’s good to have some goals + thought for our future, this moment NOW is all we really ever have. This moment, right now, is the moment in which life is actually occurring - within you and all around you. And if we’re too caught up analyzing our past or anticipating our future we are going to miss out on life as it happens - right here, right now 💙🌿 . ✧ So I’m curious, what activities, practices, or techniques help you to get present??

This is something that I’ve been focusing on as a yoga student/teacher and human being for a while now. Life itself is not an easy journey. Add a catastrophic natural disaster to the mix and it’s nearly soul crushing. But life, people, nobody really has it “that easy.” Life is always going to present multiple challenges and struggles to everybody - no matter who they are, what they look like, what they do, where they’re from... It may look different person to person, but the obstacles are still there for each one of us all. So, when we acknowledge that, we start to experience this compassion for everyone we encounter. And it’s not like an “I feel sorry for you” sensation but more of a deeper understanding that we’ve all been through some shit and we all experience the same emotions, so why not just be a little kinder, a little softer, a little bit more supportive and accepting in our day-to-day interactions with others? Smile at a stranger, say hello, ask somehow how they’re doing and REALLY listen... Volunteer with animals or people, pick up trash off the beach, donate money or your time if you have extra, or maybe just take a moment to send love + strength to those who need it most. Because that stuff ripples out BIG time. And it’s through our daily actions and interactions that we hold the power to positively change the world 🙏💚🌎 . . . . . #auctionforcharity #summerlovejewelry #sunburntandsalty #rinconpuertorico #californiacommunityfoundation #wildfirerelieffund Oh the anticipation of winter and her waves 🙃 I’m looking forward to some more proper surf around these parts, but until then I’ll keep my body + my mind fluid, strong, and awake by dedicating time to my yoga practice. There are numerous benefits of yoga across the physical body, the mental + emotional bodies, and yes, even the spiritual body, but when it comes down to yoga for surfing: . ✧ 👊#Physically, yoga can help the body surf longer and harder (while staying fluid and agile). 🧠#Mentally, yoga can assist the surfer in working through and overcoming challenges or fears in the ocean (responding not reacting), 🌊and #Spiritually, yoga can help the surfer feel more connected to themselves, other beings, and the natural world (like when the best wave of the set comes right to you) . ✧ I’ve done some updating to my website - if you’d care to check it out + maybe sign up for my newsletter too! - And I’m also currently in the beginning stages of building a Sunburnt & Salty “Yoga for Surfing” Program. My goal is to create a mindfully designed program that takes an in-depth look at the yoga-surfing connection. Unique for each individual, this Program will combing elements of yoga asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breath-control practices), meditation, and discussion to explore and strengthen the physical, mental, and/or spiritual bodies of surfing. My vision is that this will be a program to benefit both the average, working class surfer (like myself) who just wants to maximize time in the water, as well as a competitive surfer that needs to be on top of their game (and in the right head-space) every time he/she has to put on a jersey 🏄‍♀️🏄🏽‍♂️ . ✧ So if you’re on the island or planning to visit this winter and you’d like to do some surf-specific yoga that’s totally based around your needs and what you’re working on - both in & out of the water - shoot me a message and we’ll chat more ✌️💙🌴 . . ✧ #yoga #surfing #highvibeliving #lifestyle #adventure #travel #sunburntandsalty #yogaforsurfers #yogaforsurfing #winterinpuertorico #rinconpuertorico #yogainrincon #yogateacher #yogastudent #livingyoga #GLOWyogafam #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday Why do I teach yoga?? Because this practice works. I know it works. I’ve experienced its healing powers, and I still currently am - every single time I roll out my mat. I think I’ll maybe share more of my ‘story’ soon, but before this gets too lengthy all I have to say is that yoga has helped me - more times than I can count - to reignite my passion for life, reminding me of the beauty that lies in the seemingly small + mundane moments, the ephemeral emotions + experiences that wind up so intricately weaved together, giving a fullness to the web of life. In a world so quick to judge, where comparison and feelings of not being good enough are so readily available, my practice reminds me that I am enough, that this moment is enough, and that I already have everything I need. Plus flexibility, strength, and greater range of motion are added bonuses as well. So, how can I not share something that powerful?? ⚡️✨ . ✧ If you’re around Rincon, roll out your mat with me this week. I’m also available for private yoga sessions 💚 . ✧ 🌞Mondays {9am} 60min Vinyasa Flow at @CentroLaPaz . 🌙Wednesdays {6pm} 90min Yang to Yin Flow at #CentroLaPaz . 🐾And don’t forget that the next Rincon #commUNITY Yoga Class will be on Sunday, December 2nd {9:30am} at El Faro to benefit @thepuertoricodogfund . . ✧ 📷 Photo by @mondaynomads from the Adventure Bali @GLOWyogaretreats this past October.

It’s nice to see you again ☀️🌴 . ✧ Whatever your plans are for this weekend, I hope you carve out some time for your SELF to do something that nourishes your body, mind and soul. For me?? It’s spending quality time outdoors, in the ocean, and also with my yoga mat. How about you?? How do you refill your cup?? How do you disconnect from everything else going on in order reconnect with your self and your needs?? I’d love to hear.

Happy birthday @bossman_dingrepair 😘 I’m so happy we’re together at home this year on your birthday — so let’s celebrate! 🍻💃🏼🌊 . . ✧ #felizcumpleaños #miamor #solarreturn #bossmandingrepair #sunburntandsalty #letscelebrate #surfingcouples #couplesthatriptogethersticktogether #livingourbestlives #cheerstomoreadventures Within this last year, my viewpoint on water has drastically changed. And I’m not talking about the salty, ocean water {which I love so much}, but clean, pure, drinkable, thirst-quenching water that so many of us take for granted 🙏💦 . ✧ Did you know that 663 MILLION people around the world live without clean water? That’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. Living without clean water makes even the most simple things in life become extremely challenging and often times pretty scary... And I also think it’s pretty heavy to know that many of you reading this (especially all of my friends here in Puerto Rico) can understand that, because you’ve experienced it yourself 🌎 . ✧ So in honor of this month of gratitude, my good friend + a talented local artist Ariana, aka @summer_love_jewelry, and I are teaming up on a fun project to raise awareness and donations for the @charitywater projects. I have to say it was all her idea, and I’m so honored to be a part of it. She’s been working hard to create a really special piece that she’ll be auctioning off along with a little Sunburnt & Salty schwag — so keep your eyes peeled and follow along! We’ll be sharing the items for auction soon 💙🌸🌊 . . ✧ Photo by 📷 the AMAZING @mondaynomads 😘💎 #yoga #surfing #lifestyle #adventure #payitforward #sunburntandsalty #summerlovejewelry #rinconpuertorico #charitywater #gratefulforwater #mondaynomads #livingyoga #GLOWyogafam #fundraiser #collaboration #givingthanks #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday For every breath, every heartbeat, every moment I get to experience on this magical planet...
