When you screw up and miss your power networking lunch, but you'd already committed the time for networking. . . (Seriously, he's not even pretending to listen) . . Sure, I get it, it's pizza, but could you at least make eye contact when I try to life coach you? . . #lifecoach #yogaforeveryone #dogsofinstagram #rescue #retiredracer #networking

This is my unimpressed - overwhelmed - what the actual F face, it goes perfectly with my overflowing notes, unchecked to do list, and the current bedroom disaster zone. Okay life, fine, I got this and I'm going to make it into a wee bit of art. Take that. 😋 #lifehacks #art

Tired of running around trying to do it all and the holidays haven't even started yet? Take a couple of hours to yourself for some healing self care. #selfcare #selflove #yogi #yogaeverywhere #yoga #yogaforeveryone #yogalife #essentialoils #aromatherapy #chakrahealing #chakras #restorativeyoga

Let me 'splain, or everything you were pretty sure you didn't actually want to know about my hips. (without pictures you were absolutely sure you didn't want to see). https://zenbitch.net/2018/11/14/let-me-splain/ .

I have more than a few of these along with other less glamorous 'mobility aids'. Two years ago I had left hip pain that started a journey I hadn't planned on taking. It has sent me through more emotions than I thought possible. There's been exquisite self pity (I have wicked good pity skills), profound gratitude, anger, resentment, joy and, more recently, peace. This last round has made it clear that my rocking (in my mind) vinyasa yoga practice is gone for good, and I've mostly made peace with that. It has sent me down other learning pathways and changed my approach to what yoga meant to me. I lost jobs during some of the worst times and I realized how much of my ego was attached to 1. Needing to be appreciated, 2. My physical practice, 3. Having employers see me as capable (My ego is wickedly strong too). Ultimately, it has opened up the part of me that needs to bring yoga to those who have no idea yoga is an option for them. Yes, I hobbled into Cook County Jail in a leg brace and crutches on Halloween, just daring security to stop me or say I couldn't take my crutch in - they didn't - and my students that day were fabulous, some even offering to pray for ME - here they are incarcerated and they're praying for me. This is where some of that profound gratitude comes from. I'm writing about this 2 year journey on my blog in installments and will update here.

#Repost @ruthelliottyoga ・・・ I completed my Mental Health First Aid training a few years ago. I think it's as important as my CPR and AED certifications. . The statistics surrounding veteran mental health and substance-use are troubling: . Veteran suicide rates remain steady, despite the decreasing size of the veteran community. Veterans have a 41-61 percent higher risk of suicide than nonveterans. Veterans with a diagnosis of PTSD or another mental health disorder were more likely to receive an opioid prescription. The rate of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans is nearly 15 times higher than civilians due to exposure to events like military combat, assault, and disasters. The rate of depression is five times higher than among civilians. Almost a quarter of all women veterans experienced military sexual trauma, compared to 4% of male veterans. More than half of all women and more than a third of all men experienced sexual harassment in the service. Only 50 percent of returning veterans receive mental health treatment. . #BeTheDifference #health #wellness #anxiety #depression #recovery #mentalhealthawareness #healing #mentalillness

Be still my heart. There are few I love more than Neurda. . ( @walkthetalkshow you are right up there too, I'm a sucker for well written words) . “I would like to love you. I would like to love you after the honeymoon. I would like to fight with you and dislike you and judge you and fault you...and remember to breathe and leave. And I would like to quickly fault myself and regret it all and go for a long hard walk, stomping in the woods. And I would like to come back and apologize and mean it, mostly.” ~ #waylonlewis, #thingsiwouldliketodowithyou. Get the book: elephantjournal.com/books <3
