Check out my blog for our eco camping travelogue to big sur and eco camping tips w kids! ✨✌ happy summer! Xo #ecolife #ecolifestyle #sustainablelife #ecofamily

Sometimes it all lines up together. I was so ridiculously lucky to grow up with yoga in India. when my father practiced asana in the mornings I would crawl over and attempt to copy his headstand. :) I just didn't take the practice to heart (or really so much of what my motherland had to offer) until years later when I studied and worked and lived in the west; and re-found yoga. it wasn't out of pure homesickness that i re-turned to yoga but the fact that every time i get on my mat a part of me returns to this visceral sense of home - is one of the sweet joys I experience when I practice. And by home I mean both the sense of being at home in my body but also recognizing that This practice with its continuing unfolding Wisdom has offered me the chance to "be" home throughout my life in so many different places. And so I have been designing the yoga retreat of a lifetime - a return to the mother soil of yoga, India. We are calling it SURYA SAMUDRA - where the glorious sun - the light source of everything - meets the ocean - where our fiery self meets our oceanic watery aspect. It will be a journey to your home on the mat. We will explore yoga through an Ayurvedic lens, savor delicious Indian food, talk yoga philosophy in its embrace, visit temples and dive into the Indian Ocean while staying on the shores of a secluded beach in goa - and believe me when you find seclusion in India, that is gold :). Oh and the markets; and the chai... @blissology and I are co-leading this incredible experience jan 7-14, 2018. Deets are in my bio! Who wants in? Join us!

We loved the Ellsworth Kelly paintings and the Calder mobiles at the @sfmoma yesterday but I think A's favorite installation apart from the sound sculpture bridge was the living wall of plants. What can I say? We love NATURE esp. in the big city!!! #natureappreciation #blissedandblessed #yogue #artwkids #weloveart #kidculture ❤️✨

In the summer time ... Summer fruit popsicles are a simple way I get fresh summer fruit with all its vitamins, enzymes and minerals into my six year old! Plus they are delicious and such an easy to way to offer treats that are low in sugar and high in prana or vitality and life force. Check out the story on my blog for some tips and Ayurvedic inspired recipes for these delish and healthy treats! Thanks @themessynutritionist for sharing your holistic nutrition insights! Happy summer Friday! ✨✌#modernmama #healthykids #organic #yogue #popsicles #recipe #healthytreats #nosugarneeded @zokuhq

When in doubt learn how to stilt walk... This is A's last full week at summer camp. A week ago I accompanied him on a stilt walking expedition all over the school campus. I marveled as he strode so confidently over pebbles, muddy grass and road alike - he had only started 2 days earlier! That same afternoon he urged me to put on a pair of stilts. "You can do it mama," he said. I teetered on them holding an instructors hand and then I watched the children who told me to take tiny steps. I exhaled a breath, pushed away all thoughts of falling, pressed down onto the stilts and looking forward, released my hand from its death grip on the wall and began walking on my own!!! To say it was euphoric does not describe the moment fully but my big smile was a dead giveaway! I couldn't stop smiling :). And because it was a new movement to my body, I was forced to focus completely on each, present moment. With each step I shifted weight from one foot to the other - the only option (for me) was to stay moving - I couldn't stop or I knew I would fall. And that intense focus cleared away all thoughts of fear, of failure and doubt. I was here, in the fullness of this moment. There was no longer any anxiety, just the simplicity of being here in my body, in this awareness. And i wobbled along behind my son, smiling a big smile, until I did fall. And you know what? the fall wasn't that bad. Think we may need to get a pair of stilts for this family soon :) #whatilearnfrommy6yearold #blissedandblessed #mindfulness #childlikewisdom #consciousmama #friyay #california #santacruz @orchardschoolaptos @blissology #fbfriday

The truest truths are the most simple. Awaken. Awaken. Do not squander this one life. Thank you @michaelstoneteaching for sharing your life and your teachings with courage, honesty and presence. I send your beloved wife hope and love and your children - especially the one yet unborn - sustenance in the knowledge that their father was a beacon of light for so many.

Here is a delish California inspired green smoothie recipe that is going to sustain this busy mama today! I hope you enjoy it! The inpiration for this one comes from @thewellwoman_ whose beautiful site has lots of great holistic wellness insights. It's been foggy and cool here in the mornings but today feels like a smoothie day. Here's my recipe! * 1 cup very full fresh spinach (thank you farmers market); 1/3 avocado, 1/2 banana, 1/2" ginger fresh, 1 scoop @praninorganic A to Z, a tbsp of leftover chia pudding made w almond milk, you could use a tsp of chia soaked in almond milk or water instead (soak for at least 5 mins), pinch of sea salt, 1 cup coconut water. Oh I also added a 1/2 tsp of slippery elm powder which is so good to keep the gut lining smooth and a spoon of flax oil. Blend until smooth, top w garden flowers and sip slowly! It's a little more complex than most other smoothies I make but it is full of good fats, vitamins and delicious to boot. Xo happy friyay !!! ✨ #wellnessblogger
