My first yoga practice after Tai was born. This picture is taken at my studio in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam called The Breathing Room. The days are so long when you are a parent. But the years are so short. When a baby is born, a mother is born too. This little human is 12 years old now. We still snuggle a lot, but his body is now longer than mine. . I’m putting finishing touches on my manuals for my pre and post natal training that begins @octopusgardenyoga this Friday. And I’m reminiscing, looking at my journey over the past 12 years, and how the difficulties of being a new mom inspired my dream to support others through this beautiful, frustrating, incredible, lonely and blissful process. There’s still space if you want to join us. Link in bio. . #prenatalyoga #yogamama #prenatalyogateachertraining #yogameansunion #savasana #yogasnuggle

We begin next week on Friday 26 April, and yes, there’s a few spaces left. We are proud to host @yoginicky, pre and post natal yoga specialist, birth doula, teacher trainer and mom for her highly regarded training: ‘The sacred flow of pregnancy, birth and beyond’.

Final day to vote for Tai Asks Why to win a Webby Award! Link in bio! He’s in the lead but it’s small so every vote really counts... the final push. Guess who is in the lead in another category, Best Science Podcast? Neil deGrasse Tyson!! 🤯🌟 . #taiaskswhy #webbyawards
Great weekend with our 200 hour trainees @octopusgardenyoga. Their task was to ‘reverse engineer’ the first four chapters of Bringing Yoga to Life by Donna Farhi, into sutra form. Meaning, make an ultra compact summary of what you understood from the eloquent commentary in the text into punchy little truth nuggets! Such a fun and useful way to organize and distill complex concepts into a simple form. This is a small selection of what they came up with and they are so good! . . We have two more 200 hour trainings in 2019. Our summer immersion from Monday to Friday runs from July 15 to August 9. Our Fall 200 hour program runs from September 27 to Jan 12, with a commitment of one weekend per month, and Wednesday evenings. . . Applications are being accepted for both programs now!

Immersing myself in the unexpected this week, and I am waaaaaaay outside my comfort zone in the best possible way. I’m taking a week long dance intensive with Padmini Chettur. Complex rhythms, choreography, sound, spoken word, mudras. Everyone is helping me. Some kind and familiar faces teaching me the basics, and I’m just owning my noviceness and trying to keep up. As a teacher, I deliberately put myself in situations of embodied learning where I am the begginingest beginner. I really like the challenge of being there. #padminichettur #dance #beginner #alwaysastudent #yoga 🙏🏽@anandamdance
They say becoming a parent is like watching a little piece of your heart run around outside your body every day. #sobig #stopgrowing #myheart #myeverything #brothers #yogamama #momlife #thebestofme
