Alex V YOGI

If I really see myself, I laugh out loud at the humor of it; If I really see myself, I fall silent in awe; If I really see myself,... I burst into 1,000 pieces from inspiration; And if I fail to really see myself, I am sealed in the cement and stone of my own prison. Rumi #Yoga class tomorrow at 10am PST on #zoom. Prepay to RSVP. DM for details See more

Another #run done! Today’s outfit was bright so that everyone can see me. I go so early I need to be visible. More importantly, I’m wearing bright clothes because I like it and I refuse to adhere to the slimming or flattering (aka diminishing) beauty standard. I’m #round, #curvy, and #fat. I’m a whole different standard! I wear what I want because I affirm my place in the world and anyone else who feels like the world wants to dim your light! Shine bright epic humans!!

Here are the details of the latest #meditation class I’m leading. #sundays 8am PST, 11am EST, and 4pm in the UK. Pay via #cashapp and put your email address in subject. #tag and share with someone that could benefit from this #live class!

That’s a wrap! I just finished with a 5 week #meditationclass and it was really good. Being able to tune in every week asking questions and learning tools for a deeper connection with yourself and your spiritual self invaluable! I have another course starting up on Sunday, February 21st. More details to come! #yoga

Today is my day off and I’m trying to get back into my creative side (not that it actually ever leaves). I spy with my little eye a fellow who’s just day dreaming perfect to catch a quick sketch! What do you do to feed your creative side? #draw ?#potter? #cook?

Wise words from a prominent scientist and educator that inspire action to me. I’m trying new things and learning how much I have yet to learn about this amazing body I’ve been gifted with. Life is for being curious and engaging in it don’t let anyone dampen your curiosity or play. #yoga #meditation #learning #seldawareness #bebold

A lot of people don’t know or realize that I am an #introvert. I get really nervous and anxious when in front of groups. Then after gatherings I need a lot of alone time to regain my energy. It is pretty funny that my life‘s work is in teaching. My saving grace has been a steady #Meditation practice, which is really helps me come out of my shell. Tomorrow, I begin teaching a meditation course and I hope to share the things I’ve learned over the years that have helped me with #depression, #anxiety, #trauma, and life. There are only a few more spaces left. Course closes at midnight tonight! You can DM for more details.

Oh yes #newyear is coming! Learn something that will make the quality of your life better, #meditation. Watch out for more details coming out this week. #selfim

I stood still for a few big breaths while witnessing nature. Moments before the sky was scarlet red! Everything glowed and felt fresh and bright. In seconds things can change. Take a moment today to be in the moment. #sunrise #sadhana

Yes, I’m plotting a new course for the #newyear I will be offering #meditationclass for #beginner What makes mine different? Come find out! I’ll be posting the details in the next week. Since this will be on #zoom I’m inviting my #international people to come and help make this world a little closer

Oh yes, I miss those sounds, that excitement, the anticipation. We will be #reUnited in the #JetBlue skies far beyond this #Delta of a pandemic and political insanity. Our #Spirit will fly again toward #Britishairways or even #Aeroflot somewhere over #Easyjetting the #Hawaiian over #golLihas We will be #togetheragain no matter how many #Qantas it takes! #loveflying #misstraveling #stayhome #quaratinelife

Tonight I am being serenaded by a gaze of raccoons outside my bedroom window. It’s a really sweet little chatter going on. The other night they were scratching at my window. Obviously they need to tell me something. But what could it be? #animaltalk #plantmoreedibles ?? Any ideas?

#familytime is better with #dirt! We made #kokedamas and loved it. Now, if only they thought that the rest of the #gardening is this fun! #naturelovers

Tonight we ate so well! The cuisine of #Tanzania is AMAZING the spices were so good and we helped support a project that supports local refugees. Thank you chefs at @ircmake_sd #winwin

#goodmorning we have another chance to make the world a better place! #letsgo

Well since everyone is sharing their meal today on socials, here is mine. Bhindi bhaje (okra), aloo gobi, biryani. Yes, it is appropriate for me to have #indianfood on #thanksgiving on so many levels! #solidarity all in my #pottery that I made.

Yoga at #sunrise it doesn’t get better than to greet the day with some movement. I have a SUNDAY #zoom 10am PST class for those if you who want! DM me and I’ll send the link #goodmorning

I’m down for #yogaeverywhere but please don’t to inversions in dangerous places. There are so many alternatives that involve less risk. #hospitalworkers are busy enough without treating a preventable #accidents at this time. #staysafe and don’t compete for #darwinawards #PSA

#shavasana is highly underrated. The #corpsepose conditions the body to release stress and can improve your sense of physical and emotional well-being. Let me state that again, it conditions the body to release. How many of us go around with incredible #pain and #tension in the #neck #shoulders #lowerback but not really taking the time to relax the body flat? Next time you feel tight take a deep drink of water, get on the floor and actively release your body and mind. If you feel fancy put a little something to support neck and under knees. #yoga #restorative #phototakenwithpermission

Hook yourself up on #spotifypodcast and listen to @indigenoussassandnosh two new episodes are up -one vintage and the other talking about being and feeling #uncomfortable #indigenouspeoplesday

Working on #love. It’s definitely a work in progress but I’m still believing in process and outcome. #selfstudy #workinprogress #itsallyoga

It’s a #newday and my morning #run inspired me because we get to start over everyday to make better choices. #truth is like cream it always rises and is revealed. #dobetterbebetter #everyday #asteya

#everyday make this a better world #squadgoals #lifegoals

May we all enjoy the gift of presence. #powerofnow

I had a sweet beginning to the day with #privateclasses with some of my favorite students. Then this evening I lead a beautiful #meditation class that we all needed. My work comes from the heart and when I see that it has deep positive effects in people’s lives and the world I get so excited and inspired! I’m #grateful for #yoga #meditation #students

#airquality is terrible right now. Yes this is #climatechange

#suicideprevention is an important topic in my practice. I deal with it in its many and complex ways. I encourage you to share this video and support each other. These are trying times and now more than ever we need to check in on each other and on our own mental health. Let me know if I can help. Drop a comment below on what’s been toughest for you to deal with?

I miss the sauna but not this way! It’s making my fruits split in the heat! #pomegranate #hotsummerdays

Resting, recharging, and re-examining things. I spent some time up north in the #sanfrancisco area and it was wonderful! A lot was closed and there weren’t many tourists. The fires didn’t effect us much in the city. It feels so like the world is on fire. We spent some much needed time together as a family. Remembering to #breathe through #chaos. #yogaoffthemat @ San Francisco, California
