INSTA LOVE

There is not a lot of this quietness in little lion’s life right now. its been a transition filled September for our fam. So much newness: new school, new home for the year, new friends, grandma visiting, cherished old friends dropping by, being in a city vs. A smaller town... a big fall while acclimatizing to the new house - I was just as traumatized as he was - yet amidst all of it I see little glimpses of his sun filled love self shine through. And we steal odd moments of quiet in our day. And we breathe deep into our belly. And then it’s on to the next thing. #momlife #yogafam #blissology #blissedandblessed #blissmama #lilyogi #blissbaby #blissyogi #meditatethis #iloveyoga #yogalife #myyogalife #yogakid @olivianachle

#tbt to that time in bali :) and yes i am not sure that we are used to the fall rain yet but here it comes and here we are in vancity and i am happy to be here and to teach a regular schedule of weekly classes in this city where yoga opened its wisdom heart to me so fully. And I know in this yoga biz land i am supposed to be « super on it » with teaching workshops because you can’t make it in this city or any city on the salary of a yoga teacher but I want to change this. I mean it. I want yoga teachers to be paid more for weekly classes. Why? Because this is the most important work out there. It is great teaching workshops and trainings and offering deeper knowledge but to really gain benefit from yoga, there is no other way than to commit to a regular practice with an experienced teacher who is willing to work with you. This is where you truly allow the practice to work on you. This is where we soften, go deep and meet life w more resilience and presence and calm. Isn’t that priceless? I’ve heard it is harder in other cities and I can tell you that even as someone who is « known » here in vancouver, it is not easy. I teach when I don’t need childcare which may make it hard to have a huge following, but over these past few weeks I’ve been so delighted to see old friends and old students back in class; I am lit up to share an intimate, authentic and real space to create community and connection and I love feeling things in my practice and sharing that in class. I get the economics of it all and so yes you will see some workshop offerings from me soon, but I want you to know that what emerges in the weekly class format is just as potent if not more. I meet you where you happen to be in this moment and it is my commitment to keep doing that. I taught 3 classes this morning back to back (not something I choose usually) and a student said to me at the end « you must be so tired » and I said, oh this was the fun part, now comes the rest of life :) Happy Thursday wherever you are on the planet and do one thing for me today. Commit a little more deeply to a practice - to your practice! Also our local offerings are on the blog. See link in bio! ❤️❤️❤️ #realtalk

Why is it that I can get my child to school on time (when I’m solo mama-ing) and the kitchen doesn’t look like a bomb went off and everything is serene and rosy with the 7 yr old and we even had time to take a two breath meditation, lighting a candle and all on his way out the door (yesterday was a day that beat us all down a little bit, new school, new friends, new roof over our heads and a town that is “same same but different!!!), and I realize after we walk to school, that while I did make him a delish healthy brekkie I forgot to feed myself anything? :) perhaps it was a subconsciously intentional because I found the most delish avo toast w miso and kimchi at our new local coffee shop @stormcitycoffee and it was nice to just receive that delish nourishment instead of making it myself ! Ps. Happy friyay. Gratitude for so much this has been an amazing week and I am stoked to be back and to flow w all the transitions in our life @blissology ❤️ #momlife #vancity #workingmama #yogamama #breathe #insiyayoga #wholefoods #avotoastyes #delish #cafelife #vancouver #yogifood #yogieats #blissedandblessed #veganbrekkie #plantbased #tgif #theeverymamaflow

It felt like a monsoon this morning... but a cold one... and it got me missing a real (and warm) monsoon rain in the city of my birth... :) but I dropped into a sweet little home practice today and warmed myself up w breath... follow along my stories this week as i will share what other seasonal practices I follow to keep my inner fire balanced and radiant as we transition seasons. #ayurveda #modernayurveda #insiyayoga #blissedandblessed #blissology #blissmama #yogalife #sundays #iloveyoga #mumbaiyoga #indianyogini

I don’t love salads a whole lot especially as the weather changes but this one felt so right today post yoga with a warm apple cider vinegar, cashew butter, olive oil and Dijon dressing... full of life force and so so yummy. Happy Monday! May you have a blissful evening or day! #yogamama #yogalife #yogafood #insiyayoga #blissedandblessed #blissology #yoguecooks #yogieats #highprana #veggie #vegan #homemade #consciousfood #consciouscooking

How to get unstuck: Open your hips. Radiate the spine. Flower your heart. :) and breathe into the sticky, stuck places. In life. On your mat. That is all. And keep at it. Happy weekend. ✨ #blissedandblessed #yogababe #yogalife #yogamama #momlife #yogalife #vancouveryoga #insiyayoga #yogue #breathe #getunstuck #iloveyoga #saturdays #practice #lotus #asana #padmasana #indianyogini @anushreegavas.weddings

I can’t believe 11 years have flown by since @blissology and I celebrated our coming together by the ocean in Tofino on sept 8, 2007!!! It was a perfect late summer day. Blue skies and no rain. I won’t forget a pair of sea otters playing in the water behind us. I won’t forget the « scratch away your troubles » dance our incredible wedding host jean Pierre makoso led us all in; i won’t forget our collective ritual of blessing or ancestors and calling in the future; I won’t forget the bagpipes played by my dear friend bill Currie from chicago. The dj set by my brother @nuwanda that kept us dancing until the wee hours of the morning. The smiles. The laughter and tears. But most of all I won’t forget the love we felt from our community of dear family and friends who flew from so far and wide to be with us to celebrate and share in our love... So much gratitude and love!!! Too many people to tag but you know who you Are and you are deep in our hearts always! #anniversary #greenwedding #tofino #blissedandblessed #blissology #insiyayoga #yogacouple #vancouver #westcoast #11years #fusionwedding

Pranam. A greeting of great joy and reverence, yes. But also the release and surrender to whatever comes our way and our acceptance of it with grace in face of all transitions... Hello September you season of so much change. Let me flow with you with all my quirks and my humanness. And join me on the mat to play deeply and with reverence. First class of the fall w me trow @sempervivayoga 9:30 am at city center. So much love. ✨ #yoga #yogavancouver #vancouveryoga #insiyayoga #yogue #yogateacherlife #blissology #blissedandblessed #iloveyoga #yogamama #summer #fall #pranam #breathe #exhale #flow #vinyasa #blissologyyoga #baliyoga #cangguyoga #September @olivianachle
