I don't know who needs to hear this... but YOU need some yoga in your life. Some regular practicing, some place held on the schedule to commit to your practice, time to breathe, stretch, and flow... absent from judgment and without hesitation. Life will continue at the current pace, and the regular yoga practice will restore and fortify you for that journey.
Lets get started- I'm teaching yoga tomorrow!
Thursday, 8am and 7pm via link at Dancingyogiamber.com
GET GROUNDED. Going LIVE for yoga practice at 7pm!

My teal obsession has crossed the water bottle threshold and now matches a cruiser bike. Its a fun way to unwind in the evenings with a few laps in the driveway. What are your summer unwinding activities??
I'm teaching yoga today via Dancingyogiamber.com at 8am and 7pm. $10 drop-in or membership inclusive. Message me any questions, beginners welcome!
"Yoga begins now." Sutra I.1
The first sutra of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras introduces us to the present moment, atha (Sanskrit). Hi there - have you met, yourself, right now? In each shift of renewing present moment, like the auto-focus of the camera, be clearly present. Inhale a deep breath down to the souls of your feet touching the ground, expand vertically. Find your tadasana, mountain pose. What is this moment? How are you commanding the power of the present, the only time in which we have any ability to enact change. Be efficient and fully present in the now.
Join me for Yoga at 7 PM tonight! Featuring a new camera, so let me know how we like it or not
A great reminder for me to be transparent in that process of learning anti-racism and admitting that I am still learning and evolving in subconscious beliefs...
"the toxic positivity of the love and light gospel is really a flaccid neoliberal whitewash of thousands of years of philosophy and practice."
Yesterday I left a Zoom yoga class less than halfway through. Thatโs no big deal for a lot of people, but Iโm also a yoga teacher so I will usually sweat through an even truly terrible session for the sake of camaraderie. It wasnโt the asana (theโฆ
Friends! Here's the schedule I'm teaching Online yoga this week! Hope you can join me from the comfort of your own home space for some breathing, flowing and movement to begin or close your day.
Abhyasa, the Sanskrit term for Practice, teaches us to apply ourselves steadily, consistently, and without attachment to a particular desired outcome. Easier said than done, just relinquish attachment. But what does this teach us along the way? I have discovered recently the freedom in a regular practice. It is a freedom found within the confines of daily life. Once you can relinquish the attachment to outcome, the mind shifts to full present-moment embodiment. Treat yourself to the choice to return, day after day, seeking the nothingness and peace of flowing within the physical body, being present through physical effort and exhalations... inspired and flowing. What has regular practice (of anything!) taught you about yourself?? Comment below ๐
I am teaching yoga weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, see my full schedule of classes and register at my website, Dancingyogiamber.com - Single class or membership available. Members have access to LIVE weekly online Yoga classes AND immediate access to an archive of recent recorded classes in case you ever cannot make the scheduled class time or just feel like practicing with (recorded) me at any time.

An excellent listen especially as a white woman considering her voice as a yoga teacher in the world. The entire series, Yoga is Dead provides lots of insightful food for thought. I listened because It's important to consider viewpoints other than my own, especially teaching a practice so spiritually interwoven into another root culture (not of my own) and most importantly if you want to be sensitive to the voices of all your students and fellow human beings; https://www.yogaisdeadpodcast.com/episodes/2019/6/5/ep-1-white-women-killed-yoga
Feel free to share some of your thoughts below if you give the episode a listen!
In this episode, we discuss the role that white women play in killing yoga. We cover topics like spiritual bypassing, white fragility, cultural appropriation, power dynamics and the cultural characteristics of white women that wreaks havoc on the yoga industry. We wrap the episode with a toolkit for

Had an amazing Zoom Yoga class at 7 this evening! I think we had 10 students at one point. It is definitely a different feeling than teaching yoga in person, but so thankful to be invited into your homes through this #virtualyoga experience, reconnecting with students (also friends) and new yoga students as far as Cincinnati! I hope this practice brought you some much needed peace and relaxation this evening. If you wanted to donate for the experience, search [email protected] on PayPal or use Donate button at bottom of my website, Dancingyogiamber.com. What do you think friends who tuned in? How was the experience from your end? Is 7pm Thursday a good class time for Zoom yoga next week? ๐โค๐
Taught my first Zoom Online Yoga session this evening! It went well and I'm excited to be pushing myself to try some new things with technology... stay tuned for scheduled online lessons in lieu of my canceled in-person classes. ๐ ... bonus; possibility of surprise appearances by Loki the huskey! ๐พ
Home practice... returning to self. I've made great strides in some areas of personal goals at the expense of others. I guess recognizing this is the first step. Continuing to strive on working towards that balance in all aspects of life. It's a cycle of revisiting all areas, juggling the question, why can't I have it all?... work... school... family... friendship... success. All one can do is keep trying, everyday. They say it doesn't get easier, you just get better! . . Come practice with me this Sunday, March 1 at 3 pm, I'm subbing gentle flow yoga at Drishti Fit in Downtown Winchester, VA. . #balance #yoga #sirsasana #headstand #practice

One good way to know if your ego is too entwined in something is to consider the situation from the same standpoint but remove your emotions. Look at the facts without the attachment to a particular outcome or result. Sit with that moment and live it, before moving on with decisions. Sometimes urgency is necessary and sometimes waiting is necessary. Listen to where the motivation for either is coming from. #dancingyogiamber #dance #moderndance #yoga #yogaoflife #balance #inspiratuon #ego #attachment #listen
