INSTA LOVE

Step lightly Speak kindly Allow space to heal Do not Wait for tragedy To create Community. Community is here In the everyday The small acts A smile A connection A thank you Reach out So we can touch another skin Beyond our own Our earth is weeping But she does know How to grow With the water from our tears And hers. If we cannot treat one another With kindness How can we treat the planet With love? ... #tuesday #spring #earthday #community #prayersforsrilanka #love #healing #earthday2019 #yogue #insiyayoga #climatechange #instapoetry #iloveyoga #yogapoems #blissology #blissarmy #blissedandblessed #journal #lifelessons #community #love #nationalpoetrymonth

On rainy days I wear pink:) I realize how impacted I am by color and how it can uplift me or weigh me down!!! Years ago when @blissology and I shared our first apt together in kits I couldn’t stand the walls which were newly painted grey, the exact grey of a winter vancouver sky, but it didn’t bother him at all. Perhaps he just has his internal compass more set no matter what his environment offers or perhaps I am more sensitive to the external settings in my environment and those external settings help me shift a feeling or emotion and reset! The truth is, we are all soooo different and we have such different sensitivities to our life and our environment, which makes us such a diverse beautiful collective when we appreciate those differences and don’t expect others to be exactly like us. So this weekend, Celebrate YOUR unique-ness! Do one thing that uplifts you and makes you smile whether its wearing pink or dancing or calling an old friend or going to yoga and know that when you do that thing that makes you happy - it’s contagious, people around you feel those happy vibes too! ❤️ Have an incredible day! #yogacouple #yogainspo #modernayurveda #vancouveryoga #blissedandblessed #blissarmy #yogue #eastvan #positive #bliss #happy #shift #transformation #selfcare #everythingisfood

When you find recognition and resonance in someone else’s words you have to share them... if I haven’t turned you on to krista Tippett who is the wisdom conduit behind the @onbeing podcast on @npr I need to. I discovered this podcast on spirituality, ethics, poetry and science when I was a new mama and needed some brain food and soul food to enrich the long days of breastfeeding a newborn; and i am dipping into her book “becoming wise: an inquiry into the mystery and art of living” right now. I love her insight and humor and her ability to look deeper. Things I try to offer up in the safe space of a yoga class and with all that I do... May your heart be bright and light this evening xo ✨❤️ #onbeing #kristatippett #biglifequestions #breathe #yogamama #yogalife #exhale #books #consciousreading #life #mysteries #spirituality #blissology #poetry #resonance #blissedandblessed #modernayurveda #yogue #yogainspo

Pancakes for Easter breakfast: I don’t use a mix ever but we’re here for just the wknd so I tried the @bobsredmill gluten free mix (which has a good mix of simple flours and no additives) and the pancakes were light and fluffy and yummy. We topped ours w raspberries and a dash of maple syrup and had either plain Greek or cocoyo on the side. #easter #eatorganic #glutenfree #blissedandblessed #familyeats #yogue #insiyacooks #islandlife #yogamama #cookingsaves #pancakes

When we can honor the earth and reach for the sky at the same time I know that we will strive to never harm the delicate balance of life. ✨✨✨ We may not be walking barefoot in the city today but we will plug in barefoot to a deeper source of sacredness on our mats. Drop in with me for a special all levels vinyasa flow today @oneyogavan 12 noon xo #blissedandblessed #vancouveryoga #blissarmy #blissology #insiyayoga #ilovebali #yogue #yogaflow #breathe #exhale #iloveyoga #renewal #exhale #yoganature #oneyogavan #oneyogalions #vinyasaflow @carinsmolinskiphotography

When we share our stories, we heal. I have always known this to be true but it is easy to forget. Thank you for receiving my story with so much love and grace and tenderness. And I hope that we can use this collective space as a place in which to share w honesty and compassion and truly be there for each other. The flowers are blossoming and the sun is radiant and i feel as if I am slowly walking back toward myself again. I wanted to share what I’ve been going through because it felt like a burden, like a secret something I could not speak about. As though it was a shameful thing I should hide. The hardest part was that even when I knew it was a miscarriage, my body continued on for the next few weeks as if it were pregnant and the symptoms were intense! I stopped teaching yoga in March because I couldn’t hold space and offer energy out to the world. But like these magnolias, I do feel that I am opening up to the light and I will slowly let myself radiate again. I plan to begin teaching again this week and I hope to see you on Tuesday at noon @sempervivayoga So much gratitude!!! Love you all. Thank you for the thoughts and the love. Have a beautiful day! ❤️✨ #yogamama #yogateacherlife #breathe #heal #truth #parenting #motherhood #realmotherhood #communityspace #shareourstories #yogue #blissedandblessed #vancityyoga #selfcare #love #blissology #gratitude #love #sundays #spring #renewal #magnolias #kitsilano

What we ate tonight. A springtime miso soup with carrots, fresh young green onions, ginger, mung bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, spinach and some rice noodles, heaped into a bowl of homemade broth that scented the house as it cooked all day w tons of good veggies, an organic chicken, bay leaf, peppercorns, lemongrass, garlic and ginger. Light, easy to digest and full of healing goodness for our bellies and hearts. Bonus. The 8 year old lapped his up. :) #wholefoods #springtime #healingfoods #guthealth #breathe #delicious #recipe #digestion #soup #chickensoup #chickenbroth #greens #mostlyplants #yogue #yogamama #yogafood

Driving back into the city tonight the sky was golden and you could feel the magic of spring emerging, a newness in the air and I felt my own renewal, my own shedding. I returned from teaching a workshop on Ayurvedic post partum care at @glowprenatal a retreat that attempted to share w honesty the reality of life as a new parent. The sessions I did sit though were real, thought provoking. Yet the irony for me was that 2 days ago, I went to the hospital for a miscarriage surgery. I would have been about 10 weeks pregnant today. This is not something I would share so publicly but I’ve been thinking a lot about stories and fear around birth and loss in our culture and my own process of healing once I realized a few weeks ago that something was not right w my pregnancy. We don’t talk about how to handle losing our babies a whole lot, and yet when I began speaking to other women I realized how much more common it is. I also learned so much from others experiences. Have I come to terms w the loss? How did I do today, sharing Ayurveda w a circle of soon to be mamas? I realized that so much of what we are afraid of in birth and when we become parents is a loss of control, when we don’t know how and what to do anymore. I remember that feeling so vividly and also how much I have grown from that. To me, when I leaned into trusting my body, I began to accept its higher wisdom. Maybe this was not the right time for @blissology and I to call in another soul, maybe there will be another time or maybe we are simply blessed with our son, and maybe I am weaving my story into our collective thread of pain which is not something I want to numb but instead I want to feel into because when I do it brings me closer to acceptance and closer to appreciating all the many blessings I do have in my life. It brings me closer to joy. I also realize that it is time for me to really take my own Medicine. Some of my talk today was about self care as love. How do we show up for ourself? What are the thoughts we send ourselves? How can we be more compassionate and less judging? Right now I am grateful for honesty, love, tears and allowing my body to speak. I hope to Keep listening w love
