Yoga & Wellness with Justin

Happy Birthday @gregorycicchino I love you!

Y’all my sweet grandma in this picture with me and my sister has just been diagnosed with Covid today. It has been 9 months since any family has been able to visit her in her nursing home. She is battling Alzheimer’s...her nursing home has had an outbreak recently with 27 staff members testing positive and now residents. Good vibes, prayers, and healing energy towards this sweet woman who is unknowingly isolated even more now without the comfort of family and friends. Please send all you can. Love has no bounds of time or space.

Happy Birthday to my sister @philofan Kimberly today!!!! We’re a number of years older than this picture now and have been through a lifetime together and I’m so happy you’re my family. And you’re still 10 years older than me...which means next year is a biiiiiiig year for us. Hahahha! Love you!

This holiday season lean into your local businesses more than you ever have. As a small business owner during a global pandemic I know first hand that the struggle is real! Small business is critical to local economies and ecosystems. Small business has heart and isn’t run by bottom line. Most are run on a dream or a strong belief in the work that they offer. When you buy local and small you get touched by someone’s heart and soul. This season I’m pushing myself to only buy... local! I am avoiding Amazon altogether and moving forward and committing to support small and mighty! Every purchase you make..think about what small business you can support by putting your dollars there instead of big big business. Dine local and order in from local restaurants. And of course we love our Pelatons and big brand name workout at home Apps. But your local gyms, yoga studios, etc are busting their ass to stay alive and offering you personalized content. I’ll be at my small business @yogaloftmb on Saturday for small biz Saturday. Swing by and buy some stocking stuffers (locally made candles by @lucincandlestudio , CBD, yoga gear, gift cards and so much more. And of course every class you attend in the park or virtually supports this business. Come by and say hello! Noon to sunset. Meanwhile these are some of my other fav small businesses: Home products: @backtobasics_shop Candle and Ritual magic: @lucincandlestudio Books and journals: @pagesabookstore Pilates: @yogaloftmb and privately with @yogamittrashell Yoga: My own @yogaloftmb and my dear friend Kate’s @lightonlotus Acupuncture: @amandalee.lac Thai massage: @yogamittrashell Lunch and coffee: @eat_mbpost and @thekettlemb Dinner: @strandhousemb @fishbarmb Home staging Design Magic: @cadreaminstaging Home love: @waterleafhome Flower love: @rollinghillsflowermart And so many more...let’s support one another and our ecosystem this time of year (and always) #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #supportsmallbusiness #smallbusinesssaturday

The words we speak silently or aloud impacts the architecture of the home our spirit resides in. The words said in silence are some of the most impactful as they're seeds that eventually sprout into big vines that can tangle up our structures and clog our drainage. We have much collectively to clean up in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead. We have stopped having difficult conversations that we need to begin having. We have begun to use our words as weapons, and w...e have decided that if we no longer agree with someone that we can just simply mute them in our feeds and in life. Consciousness demands that we inhabit all spectrums. That we continually navigate opposites. We can acknowledge and speak our truth but it's more important than ever to listen to the truth of others and to have a meaningful dialogue so that we can understand one another better and stop muting each other. This hard conversation starts with ourselves. The work is always within us. Taking that quiet seat in prayer or meditation we begin to work on the structure that houses and feeds our soul. This is why I love yoga. And this week we'll be focusing on this conversation...and the insights that we get from our physical practice that teach us about ourselves and how we interact with those around us and how we can be better humans.
