ESALEN, Big Sur… Every May my Yoga Journey brings me to Esalen to teach a couple of yoga workshops and every May I am so eager to go. The ocean, hot springs, midnight soaks, Danielle, Janna and Jean assisting!, morning walks through the garden, the profound conversations with fellow seminarians, the Esalen bodywork… the homemade bread and granola, the veggies, the funk, the groove, the hip, the cool, the beat, rhythm and soul dancing happening daily. What can I say other than I can't wait to return and discover what this year is all about.

OMG, yes this is OMG worthy:)) Just happened upon making the most refreshing, healthy drink of my life. Two drops of grapefruit and two drops of cinnamon bark pure, eatable essential oil poured over ice and filtered water into my new Swell bottle. Sugar craving gone and sass is back on! #essentialoils #favoritedrink #news #yogainspiration #doterra #ideas #yoga #yogini #yogalove #yogajourney #refreshing #simple #treat #treatyoself #dowhatmakesyouhappy

Motif matters. Why do you practice yoga? For yourself? For your family, community, humanity? All of it? Know your why and own it and it gives you the power to manifest, help and serve way beyond self imposed limiting beliefs… www.yoga-journeys.com#motif #intention #yogapractice #yogachallenge #yogaforeveryone #yogafam #yogacommunity #yogalove #yoga #yogini #yogaretreat #yogajourney

Dream time on New Moon in Aries… A time to rewrite our story of love. So I lay myself down to sleep and imagine before drifting off into dream time all love I've given well received and consciously receiving all love that has come my way. Aummmmm… #yogalove #aum #dream #newmoon #yogaeveryday #love #yogaeverywhere #yogini #yoga #yogi #goodnight

I love it when photos from Yoga Journeys in the way past pop up in my life. The images bring it all back. Here's Bali Yoga Journey 2011 with my dear friend Mindy @lorenzarose ❣ after a sunrise dolphin excursion to celebrate her birthday. We were surrounded by 100s of dolphins . I had asked the chef to surprise us all with a Balinese birthday cake. Guess what was served? Seaweed and coconut jello cake a Balinese special treat. #yogajourney #yogajourneyswithulrika #memories #yogini #namaste #yogaretreat #yogatravel #vacation #bali #yogaeverywhere #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeveryday

Yoga playtime on Tortuga Beach, Galapagos, 2/19/16

  A new species of yoginis were discovered in the GALAPAGOS last week! They seem to be very well adapted to the beach and sea:) What would Darwin think? Practicing yoga is an art of adaptation, increasing ones tolerance level for differences and changes, to truly learn how to be in the moment and become it no matter what life presents. One with life and showing up consistent like the sun, fluid like the sea, steady like the earth, free like the wind and open as space...
