A special moment from our visit to the Holy Water Temple in Ubud 💧 I’ve said it before, the energy of this island is so real, it’s tangible. And despite there being tourists + people all around, I felt as if in this moment I was alone. The chatter of the external world began to quiet as I closed my eyes + silently said a prayer for my loved ones + for myself — for health + happiness, peace + prosperity — and then I dipped my head under the cool, refreshing mountain water to invigorate my spirit and purify my soul 🦋 . ✧ I don’t consider myself a religious person at all. Growing up, I can maybe count the number of times I went to church on one hand. But since I found yoga I’ve tapped into an element of spirituality that I never knew was within me, but I also kinda knew it was something I was craving. I mean, from a young age my parents always told me that being in the ocean was the place that they felt brought us closest to “God,” but at that point in my life I wasn’t sure I even believed in a God. At that age, I don’t think I fully understood 🌊 . ✧ But now I get it. Thru my practices of yoga + surfing, thru my meditations, my ability to get still + to observe the natural rhythms of life, I have to say that now I know there is a force that’s bigger than us out there. For me, it’s called “Universe,” for you, you may call it something different. But for me, in this stage in my life, it’s hard not to believe in something that’s greater. It’s hard for me not to believe that Universe/God/Spirit/Creator — whatever you want to call it — isn’t actively participating my journey, giving me exactly what we need in each moment + supporting me in every step along the way. So long as I have faith. And so long as I allow myself to be open enough and vulnerable enough to receive 🌸 . ✧ These themes of strength, compassion, vulnerability, and a willingness to receive have been reoccurring throughout our Retreat this week. Not only do I think our students have had some major breakthroughs, but I can say whole-heartedly that I’ve had my fair share of them as well 🙏✨ . . . 📷 x @justsay_aileen 💜 Café de Bali con mis hermanas panameñas ☕️🌿 . . ✧ #balicoffee #ubud #bali #indonesia #mishermanas #GLOWyogafam #GLOWyogaretreats #salud #cheers #sisterhood #vistahermosa #ricefields #allgreeneverything #golightourworld #sunburntandsalty #livingyoga #livingsimply #wakeupandlive #yoga #travel #experience #illuminate #gratefuleverydamnday Diving into vulnerability. E x p o s i n g and revealing the darkest depths of my s o u l. Finding strength in breaking down. In t e a r s. Lots of tears. Emotions as strong as rivers that rush towards the s e a. I was recently reminded of the strength that comes when we allow ourselves to be v u l n e r a b l e, open, wild, and free. Of the strength that arises out of complete compassion for ourselves — our past and our present. Everyday I am shedding the layers that society is so quick to place upon me. Everyday I am feeling more and more like m y s e l f ❥ And my goodness does it feel so fucking good ✨ . . ✧ 📷 capture by my soul sister @kaylala88 🦋🌿 #words #feels #strength #vulnerability #compassion #shedding #belikewater #sunburntandsalty #GLOWyogafam #GLOWyogaretreats #bali #indonesia #screwyourstandards #livingmyway #livingyoga #livingsimply #aweekinthejungle #writersofig #yogaandwriting #thisismyhealing #yogaeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday #wakeupandlive
Bye beautiful Bukit! I’ll see you, your amazing waves (and my amazing man 😉) in a week 💙 Now it’s off to Ubud to reunite with my girl @kaylala88 for the @GLOWyogaretreats Summer in Bali Retreat that begins on Monday! I’m so excited to connect with my #GLOWyogafam and indulge in a week of yoga, meditation, good food and fun adventures. Follow along in my stories to keep up with all the fun 🙏🌸🌿 . . . #yoga #surfing #lifestyle #adventure #travel #bali #indonesia #bukit #ubud #yogaretreat #GLOWyogaretreat #golightourworld #karmayoga #connection #givingback #solarpowered #livingyoga #livingsimply #wakeupandlive #oneandonlylife #exploremore #experiencetheworld #spiritualgangster #meditation #saltyeverydamnday #yogaeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday Back in magical Bali-land and I couldn’t be more grateful ✨ . ✧ I don’t care what anyone says, this place holds some powerful, sacred energy that you can feel deep within your bones. This island holds a very special place in my heart and I’m so thankful for @kaylala88 + @glowyogaretreats for being the spark that ignited my burning passion for this place. If it wasn’t for that one email a little over three years ago asking me to be a part of that first retreat, I don’t know if I would have made it over to this side of the world. But my goodness am I so freaking happy that I did. I love this place. I love these people. And needless to say, I really love this coastline and all it’s beautiful waves 😍🇮🇩🌊 . ✧ 📷 x @mondaynomads #balibagus #sacredplaces #sacredspaces #theenergyisreal #fromoneislandtoanother #yoga #surfing #lifestyle #adventure #travel #sunburntandsalty #saltwatertherapy #GLOWyogafam #GLOWyogaretreats #golightourworld #mondaynomads #findyourtribe #lovethemhard #livingyoga #livingsimply #wakeupandlive #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday #butfeelingextragratefultoday #terimakasih #thankyouthankyouthankyou Blown away by all the responses in regards to my last post. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you for taking the time to read, to respond, to open up, and to share. I was deeply moved by every message and I am greatly inspired by this community, my community, and I’m once again reminded of some of the more positive aspects of this wild social media world 💕 . ✧ I was really nervous to post that last one, but I’m so glad that I did because by allowing myself to be vulnerable and open, I ended up finding so much support and motivation through all of your words. It’s comforting to know that we all experience the same feelings, thoughts, questions... and while we may be going through totally different stuff, the internal experience may feel very much the same. Knowing that we are all facing tough decisions, struggles, set backs, and unexpected change reminds us of our humanity — that nobody is perfect and that no one is an exempt from challenge 🦋 . ✧ So thank you again. Y’all were the spark I needed to reignite my fire. This is why I’m on the path that I’m on, to not only deepen the connection that I have with my Self, but to use my journey and my experience to deepen the connections that I have with others — openly, honestly, and authentically 🙏✨ . ✧ If you’re in Rincon, join me for my last #commUNITY Yoga class for a few months. Class begins at 9:30am and we’ll practice at the lighthouse by Domes Beach. It’s free and open to everyone. Just bring a yoga mat or towel, drinking water, and an open heart. Hope to see you there 🌞🌴💙 . ✧ 📷 x @mondaynomads #yoga #surfing #lifestyle #adventure #sunburntandsalty #thankyou #gratitude #commUNITY #communityyoga #justahumanbeing #rincon #puertorico #bali #indonesia #livingyoga #livingsimply #authenticconnection #openandhonest #yogaandsurfing #movingmeditation #beherenow #mondaynomads #surfergirl #wakeupandlive #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday Don’t mind me. I’m over here just trying to create the best life that I can // These past few months I’ve been doing a whole lot of work on my self. Well, really it all began five years ago when I took the leap into a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training at @bigfishpoweryoga, but more so in these last couple of months I’ve really turned my attention inward, focusing my energy on inner healing and getting to know myself better. I’ve been asking myself the hard questions like , “What do I really want? What do I need to in order to feel motivated, energized, fulfilled, at peace? What old habits and limiting beliefs can I let go of? What qualities am I not proud of? Where do I need to focus my attention and where do I need to change?” . ✧ It’s been an empowering process for sure, but in all honesty it’s been very uncomfortable, extremely humbling, and left me feeling like a bit of a recluse from the rest of the world. So especially to my friends and family, if I’ve seemed a bit removed, I’m sorry, I love you, and my entire being thanks you for your support as I work through this. I know I can be better to you all, but I also know I need to be better to myself first. . ✧ I haven’t been posting on social media as much as I normally do either. Not because I don’t have anything to share, but mainly because I’ve been asking myself “why?” a lot. Questioning has been a big part of this process. What’s the purpose of this post? What message am I trying to relay? Why do I waste so much time on this stupid app that is not really real life?? Why do I care?? Why do you care?? . ✧ And the one thing that’s overwhelmingly apparent amidst a list of what feels like a million lessons learned throughout all this work, so far, is that it all comes down to: Staying true to YOU ••• If you care to keep reading, it’s continued in the comments 👇 Life tends to come at us in waves. And yoga helps us learn how to better navigate those waves 🌊 . ✧ Roll out your mat with me tomorrow morning {9:30am} at the Rincón Lighthouse for a FREE #commUNITY Yoga Flow. This will also be my last week of classes for two months as I get ready to hop over to Info for some late-season fun 💃🏼 So, you can catch me at . ✧MONDAY (9am) 60min Vinyasa Flow at @centrolapaz . ✧WEDNESDAY (6pm) 90min Vinyasa Flow at #CentroLaPaz . ✧SUNDAY (9:30am) Rincón #commUNITY Yoga at El Faro . . ✧ Hope to see you on your mat sometime this week ✌️🌸🦋 . . . . ✧ #yoga #surfing #lifestyle #adventure #sunburntandsalty #communityyoga #rinconyoga #puertorico #wavesoflife #GLOWyogafam #GLOWyogaretreats #karmayoga #bali #indonesia #livingyoga #livingsimply #wakeupandlive #exploremore #practiceselflove #practicedaily #yogaforsurfers #yogaforathletes #yogaparatodos #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday Summers can get slow here in Rincon... Not much surf, usually not a whole lot of work, and during these lazy days it can be all too easy to sleep in late or, if I’m being totally transparent, to begin cracking cold Medallas at noon. But I’ve made a commitment to myself that this summer I wasn’t going to get lazy, and I’m proud that I’ve stayed dedicated to a consistent cross-training routine so that I can show up to Indo in somewhat decent surfing shape 😬 . ✧ Aside from my daily yoga + meditation practices, I’ve committed to staying active thru paddle boarding, hill walking, resistance band + strength training, and high-intensity interval training, as well as sprinkling in pranayama + apnea training along the way... And I’ve got to say I feel stronger and more confident than I have in a long time. And it feels really good 💚 . ✧ I’ve also recently started incorporating ECOGels into my daily routine to keep my mind and body running smoothly and to help with the soreness and inflammation that comes from working out regularly. ECOGels contain naturally occurring cannabinoids, vitamin E, Omega-3 & Omega-6 Fatty Acids, chlorophyll, plant sterols, terpenes and other essential nutrients – I’ve also seemed to notice my skin and hair looking healthier 💁‍♀️ . ✧ So, here’s to a healthy summer!!! If you’re interested in trying out ECOGels for yourself you can get 20% off your first order by clicking the link in my bio.

Sometimes life is straight up tough, uncomfortable, and requires you to really dig deep in order to move through. But no matter what we have going on, no matter what the universe happens to throw our way, we always have the choice as to what lens we decide to look through 🤓 . ✧ Can we find the silver lining amidst the raging storm?? 🌦 Can we acknowledge our blessings, especially the “little things,” even during our toughest times?? 🙏 And when things seem easy and feel good, can we remain humble, open, and compassionate towards those who may be in the middle of struggle?? 💛 . ✧ Perspective is everything. And just like anything shifting your perspective takes some practice 🤸‍♀️ But it’s this practice of perspective that can turn an ordinary life into an extraordinary life — regardless of your circumstances and external situations. YOU hold the power to make shift happen. I believe in you ✌️🌸💦 . ✧ 📷 from our @GLOWyogaretreats in Bali last October. I can’t wait to be heading back to this magical island in less than 3 weeks to reunite with my #GLOWyogafamily.

Balance is something that most of us strive for, something that we often work towards, but is it a destination that we ever actually arrive to?? In my opinion, I don’t think it is. I think we catch glimpses of balance. Moments where we experience it, feel it, embody it... And then the next moment, it may be different, we may fall out. So we dance between the effort and the ease, the strength and the softness, the holding on and the letting go... And we come into more moments of balance, eventually falling out, and then beginning the dance all over again. . 〰️ . So how do we stick with this practice of balance?? What’s the key to staying in rhythm with the dance?? For me, all it comes down to is P R E S E N C E • Reminding myself to just take it one step at a time, one moment at a time, one breath at a time. Less focused on where it is I’m going and more tuned into where I’m at right now. Listening to what I need to do in this moment to bring me closer to alignment— working hard when I must, and enjoying the ride whenever I can. . 〰️ . And wherever it is you might find yourself right now — the coming into or the falling out of balance — remember that the dance is always changing. So if it’s easy and things feel good, awesome, enjoy it, but don’t hold on too tight. And if things feel off, a little out of whack, then know that that’s ok too. Feel it, but don’t let it define you. Honor this time and the process, but trust that the tempo will soon shift, and a new moment will arrive holding the space for you to come closer into your own alignment. . 〰️ . Happy Monday everyone. And I hope you all have an awesome week ✌️💚🌊 . . 📷 x @bossman_dingrepair 😘 #yoga #surfing #lifestyle #adventure #sunburntandsalty #rincon #puertorico #armbalance #practice #dontstopdancing #thoughts #ramblings #inspiredwords #writersofig #wordsinspiredbymovement #livingyoga #livingsimply #GLOWyogafam #strengthandease #practicedaily #saltyeverydamnday #gratefuleverydamnday #prlovesyoga ✧ sunday d a y dreams 🧜‍♀️ 〰️ Four weeks and I’m heading back to the magic that is the Indian Ocean.
