42 Seconds to Freedom

By Alyssa | Oct 16, 2017

42 seconds to IMPACT… 41… 40… 39… That’s the amount of time it would take for me to hit the ground when exiting a plane from jump altitude and flying in a vertical orientation. Yes, I said flying , not falling. 42 seconds to save your own life with a thin sheet of zero porosity…

Can practicing yoga together nurture your relation

Can practicing yoga together nurture your relationship? 💛 YES. In more ways than one.⁠
⁠
When you practice yoga with your love, you have an independent and shared experience. On the one hand, you’re on your own mat having an intimate experience in your own body. On the other, you’re right beside your beloved. You may not know what they’re experiencing, but the fact that you can share the same class at the same time creates a unique connection.⁠
⁠
It makes us happy to feel good in a posture, and then double-happy to know that our loved one is there next to us, also feeling good in a posture. We also get to receive wisdom from the teacher, the theme of the yoga class, and the overall ambiance of the class — together. It certainly has the potential to be a more bonding experience than a night on the couch, sponsored by Hulu.⁠
⁠
The benefits of doing yoga together are really limitless, but from more reasons why you might consider stretching it out together, head to our blog!⁠

Here are 3️⃣ AMAZING things to appreciate abou

Here are 3️⃣ AMAZING things to appreciate about your human body ✨⁠
⁠
💃 The body is always present — it can't exist in the past or the future. It can only exist in the right here, right now. Can you tap into that?⁠
⁠
🕺 The body processes — in many different ways. Just like it converts our food into energy, it can convert our thoughts into creation, or emotions into growth. What is your body processing right now across its layers?⁠
⁠
🏄‍♀️ Our body is constantly having a conversation with us. It's speaking to us in signals like thirst, hunger, inflammation, butterflies, fatigue... Are you actively listening? And how are you responding?⁠
⁠
Because we live in these bodies day in and day out, we easily take them for granted. We can forget the miracle that they are. Today let's take a moment to acknowledge the intelligence of our vessels 🚀⁠

Guess what... tough stuff’s gonna happen. Negati

Guess what... tough stuff’s gonna happen. Negative vibes will come around. The question is, what will you do about it?

Every event has potential for evolution. YOUR evolution. Even the hard shit... ESPECIALLY that.

Feel the feels, feel the fear, and do it anyway. You are stronger than you know 💛

A critical piece is asking for help. Lean on your community, your loved ones, Nature herself. Crystals highly recommended 😉

For negative vibes, turn to your Smoky Quartz. Cleanse with your crystal friends!

Hiya postpartum mama 👋 We've got some stretches

Hiya postpartum mama 👋 We've got some stretches + exercises to support your healing body...⁠
⁠
Connecting with your deep core is the single-most-important factor in finding postpartum structural stability and support. ⁠
⁠
While many women rush to crunches to re-strengthen their core area post-baby, crunches only engage a very superficial layer of the abdominal region. Instead of working to wrap the contents of the midsection back into the midline, crunches actually push the midsection out. To counter the pushing out of the uterus and the internal organs and wrap everything back in, we must learn to engage the deep core. ⁠
⁠
Rather than big movements like the flexing of the spine generated from the rectus abdominis, the much more subtle transverse abdominis primary function is to draw in the abdomen closer to the spine. This allows us to be much more efficient with how we carry that weight around. ⁠
