Feel free to send me bloopers of you in the midst of getting into a yoga pose - I love seeing candid shots like that!

Have fun! The main aim of this challenge is to get some people acquainted with yoga, for yogis to try to practice on a daily basis, and for us to get to know each other better! <:

Namaste! xx

LIVE

This year I encourage you to choose to live. It sounds so obvious and simple but we tend to get so caught up in life that we often forget to actually live. I’ve made a few posts in the past about how I decided to make actually living life a priority in 2022 and I can’t thank myself enough for doing it. I’ve been having the time of my life and have such great memories I get to hold onto to. I have these memories because I decided to be intentional with my time and my life. When I did, I experienced things I couldn’t have even dreamt up if I tried. I want to share some of those memories with you to show you how fun life can really be when you make yourself and your life a priority.

- A friend and I decided to go out when I was visiting my hometown, even though our normal way to spend girl time was to sit by the fire with a glass of wine and talk. That night we ended up going downtown. We ended up accidentally going to a concert of a very famous singer, standing close enough where I made eye contact with the person several times. I still don’t even know how we got into that concert lol. I got hit on by his lead guitarist without even knowing he was the lead guitarist for this singer. After their set we hung out with the band for a while before heading home for the night.

- A few months ago, I decided to take an impromptu New York trip with a close friend. We were only there overnight but we had the legit best time of our lives. We went to an upscale bar in the city and met a foreign real estate mogul, went to a lounge with a bar at the top (we didn’t know that at the time) and somehow got let into an VIP exclusive party in the bar at the top while we were exploring the building. We danced our butts off with people we didn’t know. It felt like a movie. We ended up leaving there and were on our way to another spot when we ran into a beautiful couple (they were genuinely so good looking), we got to talking with them and they turned out to be an uber successful couple. The guy was a very well known architect and the woman owned a successful art gallery in the city. After talking to them for a little, they gave us their VIP bands to get into a super exclusive party going on that night. We also all followed each other on Instagram so I got a networking opportunity out of it too. Side note: this was before I hated Instagram and deleted it off my phone.

- Living life doesn’t always have to look like going out on the town. This past year I said yes to things I used to do as a kid but never think to do anymore, as well as new things and experiences. An example of this was going roller skating after not having gone for years because I thought it was “kid-ish”. I went with a friend after hours and it was truly so much fun. It was so freeing to be a kid again and let my inner child run free and play, or I guess in this instance let my inner child roll free and play. It was honestly so healing. If I had said no because of my preconceived notion, I would have never experienced that. Since then I’ve gone roller skating more and have so much fun every time.

Embarking on this journey has sparked a passion in me. These past few years I just went through the motions on autopilot. I wasn’t intentional with my time or my life. When I chose to end that cycle I felt myself truly come alive. I really encourage you to evaluate your life and see if you’re running on autopilot. If you are, break the cycle this year. It doesn’t have to be in expensive or lavish ways. What matters is breaking the cycle how you can and choosing to live your life with intention. I promise you, you will look back a year later with beautiful memories and gratitude for making the decision to live intentionally.

My mentor snapped when he said it’s imperative to always ask for what you want, because the worst they can say is no, and no stands for “Next Opportunity”. Like that’s literally my mantra.
