ReUnify Yoga

The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness. Remember to get yourself outside in nature today, sometimes the greatest teachings are those that arise without spoken words. Trees have lots to share.

Happy Holidays from our reUnify Family to yours! Throughout the entirety of this year, our strong sense of community has prevailed even through the most challenging of days. The amount of love & support that continuously flows in all directions is a steady reminder that what we do on the day-to-day is truly serving a grand, sacred purpose. You play a major role in that purpose. We are SO grateful for every single one of you. THANK YOU for being a part of our family. When we all shine our individual lights, our collective light shines even brighter, baby.

~Community~ Feeling so blessed to have this yogi family, this loving community. ~ Why does community feel so good for the heart & soul? To feel like we are a part of something greater, sparks the reminder of oneness, ignites the knowing of inner-connectedness, surrenders the story of self to the story of sangha.... ~ We are so grateful that we can continue to practice yoga in our outdoor spaces. Also, SO thankful that our digital studio has expanded our family beyond sweet lil’ Ocean Beach. Thank you thank you thank you, reUnify fam, we love you. See more

Might be a harsh truth, but ‘mind attacks’ are a way to promote spiritual growth. 2020 has given us plenty of opportunities for that. When you feel the chatter of the mind coming on, when fear creeps in and brings up all kinds of feels, see this as an opportunity to dive deeper into what lies beyond it. Every experience is an invitation to choose the seat of the witness. Explore consciousness-- all the layers it lights up and the light itself. art:@sun_keep

You know when things fall into place incredibly serendipitously? The universe basically landed @karissahuerta in our lap and said ‘here ya go reUnify a powerful Kundalini teacher, a fierce vinyasa flow mama, and someone who simply vibes with the fam.’ ~ With over 500 hours of training, this babe brings a whole lotta knowledge to the table. Anatomically-informed sequencing with those boom POW unique peak poses, a strong voice that inspires you to level up, and all sorts of modification offerings from beginner to advanced. ~ We’re stoked to have her on board. She’ll be subbing Tues Dec 22 and Sun Dec 27th, so snag your spots in those classes . Catch her on the regular schedule starting in 2021 stay tuned.

--Yoga Nidra -- Yoga Nidra literally means Yogi sleep. Do you actually sleep? No no no, you’re gonna do your absolute best not to. In Yoga Nidra, you are guided to shift your awareness to each part of the whole body. The idea is to take yourself deep into the source of consciousness, beyond the identification with mind, body, and thoughts. It’s really POWERFUL stuff and all you have to do is lay there & listen. Wanna come? We have one every other Thursday at 7pm guided... by @shay.muller It’s donation-based, and held at the corner or Cape May & Ebers, sign up via the online schedule for tonight’s session! Be sure to wear cozy, warm clothes and bring a blanket! ~ #yoganidra #yoganidrasana #yoganidrameditation #yoganidramindfulness #yoga #oceanbeach #reunify

Serve everyone always with the feeling as if one is serving the Supreme Being. When you think about yoga, usually what comes to mind is an asana class or maybe some breathwork & meditation. However, did you know that service to others is also a Yogic path? This path of selfless service is called Karma Yoga. We learn from asana that all parts of the physical body are interconnected by lines of connective tissue. The body is the microcosm of the macrocosm. This sense of unio...n also flows between everyone and everything in our lives. We all breathe the same air, don’t we? Our communities, the natural world, even people we don’t know that live on the other side of the planet-- are all deeply interconnected. Thich Nhat Hanh calls it interbeing. As this understanding develops, the path of service arises spontaneously. Seva, selfless service, becomes an offering to the Divine, stemmed from the remembrance that we share a collective heart. Feeling the call to give back? At reUnify, we offer a Seva Membership option- when you sign up for an unlimited membership, you can add on a few dollars monthly that will be collected from all members and donated each quarter to a new, local nonprofit organization. Check out our website to learn more and feel free to reach out with questions. art:@sun_keep @sri_anandamayi_ma

Mountains were once the sturdy push of tectonic plates, and Valleys were once the glacier river’s flow. As the earth rotates around a massive star in the infinite container of spacewe alternate sun, moon, sun, moon day in and day out. Why do personal aspects of impermanence and transformation feel like such a struggle? It seems to be embedded in nature but the mind resists. The mind resists impermanence because this simple trait is a reflection of its impending death.... Know that the importance of the mind can fizzle and fade while you’re alive. Here and now. In this body. It can be something that rises from and returns to the vast field of awareness. The way the sun and moon move through the sky with no clinging or resistance. . . . . . .

Y’all want a creative, juicy, intuitive feelin’, gently guided flow? Meet @brookearielleyoga -- Brooke has been a part of the reUnify FAM before it was even a thing. Her and I were besties in college. She has played a HUGE role in my personal growth, and unknowingly led me away from the party scene and into the world of yoga. I'm honored to have her as a source of anatomical knowledge, unique sequencing, and emotional support here at reUnify. She is SO GOOD at making you ...feel comfortable in your practice and her guidance is pure magic. Wanna experience it yourself? Take one of Brooke's classes Tuesdays 5:30 pm ( Cape May & Ebers) Wednesdays 7:15am Vinyasa (Outdoor reUnify) - #oceanbeachyoga #sandiegoyoga #sdyogateacher #oceanbeach #sandiego #reunifyyoga #sandiegoyogi

Where are my slow-livin’, gentle handed, sweet sweet yin lovers at?... Or maybe I should call upon all the fire driver doers out there-- like yours truly-- you guys are the ones that really need this. Wherever you land, we’re having the first EVER reUnify Yin Teacher Training happening next month on November 6th. It’s only two weekends long, and there are just a few spots left, so DM me if you are interested or have any questions at all. I’m so excited to share this body medi...cine & knowledge that has been given to me, as we collectively explore the earth-influenced, inward-flowing, slow-moving aspect of duality. Whether you’re a yoga teacher and want to provide Yin, or simply want to dive into the depths of yourself and your practice, let’s do it together. #reUnifyYinTraining2020 ~ #sandiego #sandiegoyoga #sandiegoyogateacher #oceanbeach #oceanbeach1502 #oceanbeachsandiego #yoga #yin

SO much, if not all, of our suffering stems from that feeling that I am separate from everyone else. Separation & division cause such distress because it's not the substance of our true nature. We’re interconnected organisms that sustain from the air & water around us, have mirror neurons in our brain that reflect the emotions of those before our eyes, and a deeper sense of Self that knows this oneness as truth. Of course, the feelings of separation amongst others or withi...n the mind, feels unnatural. Try connecting more with the cohesive sense of awareness within yourself--that which ties all thoughts, emotions, and concepts of identity together. Does that seem a little out of your league? Okay, well, take baby steps towards union and away from the illusion of separation. (Because that's truly all it is, a concept we have created with the mind) That can start with something as simple, such as watching the inhale flow cohesively into the exhale. Recognize that you can’t have one without the other, which implies they may not be so separate after all. ~ #yogainspo #yogasd #yogasandiego #sandiegoyogi #oceanbeach #oceanbeach1502 #oceanbeachsandiego #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers

Sometimes it doesn’t feel good to look at the suffering of this world. This year has been a whole lot of wake up calls for me ... no more hiding under the covers, bracing for impact, and just hoping the monster isn’t there. Why look at the suffering? Because EMPATHY is a reminder that we are all one. COMPASSION is the signpost that leads us to acts of service. The reality is that humans fleeing their original homes, in search of a safer existence with basic needs met, are no...w locked up in ICE detentions centers at the border. Yup, just 30 minutes from our comfortable little beach town. My heart hurts picturing it, but that feeling will move through just like every other one does. Facing the feeling has also inspired the idea that all Seva donations from July-September will specifically go to @borderangelsofficial bond program. This is $471 and we’re gonna throw the extra 29 to make it a solid 500 These folx are doing all kinds of incredible things not only helping get people out & reuniting families by providing bonds & representation, but also leaving water for those wandering through the desert hoping to find a new home, providing for migrant shelters in Tijuana, and much more. As soon as they’re accepting volunteers again, reUnify is all in. Let’s get these fellow humans help. If you’re not a Seva member, and you want to become one, DM us. If you want to donate or learn more , please go to @borderangelsofficial page and take action. ~ #borderangels #nowall #mexico #oceanbeachsandiego #oceanbeach #reunifysevaprogram #reunifyseva

The illusion of separation. The border between Mexico and the United States extends 1,954 miles tumbling through waters, towns and valleys, literally drawing a huge line in the sand, that makes it so much easier for our mind to understand this division that our nation has created. We have ultimately created two different worlds, economically, culturally and of course the only real place that division resides... mentally.... But the fact of the matter is..... We are all humans. Though we may be experiencing different perceived realities, different cultures, different worlds...we all bleed the same blood, face the same fears, and seek the same love. Next time you find yourself focused on differences , remember that separation is an illusion of the mind. Seek all of those sweet similarities instead. These are the seeds of Yoga, the seeds of Union. ~ #yogainspo #mexico #usborder #sandiego #yogapractice #oceanbeach #oceanbeachsandiego

Everyone knows this gorgeous face Sweet @abbyyflynnn really held it down for reUnify this year, modeling for at least 100 live-streams during quarantine. This loyal, sweet n’ tender creative mind started taking my classes years ago, and sometimes would be the only student to show up when I held my first donation-based classes as ‘traveling reUnify’ at Mission Bay. She’s been an angel and a teacher to me in so many ways. Now she gets to be an angel to you. She’s... been a part of the reUnify fam for a loooooong time and she will officially be teaching for us. What to expect? Open-hearted personal shares, sprinkles of wisdom that she’s gathered from training in India and her commitment to the search for health & happiness, and a bit of quirky silliness that gives ya the fuzzies. Come take her class at reUnify tomorrow (Saturday) at 10 am to experience the goodness yourself.

Tonight at Cape May & Ebers ! Three Spots left

Sometimes ya just gotta spice things up. Do something totally outside the norm for you.-- Breaking old patterns is a potent guide in leading the way to true self. We feel like we have such strong ideas about who we are, or how we show up. So who are we really when these things change? ... ~ #spiceupyourlife #yoga #yogainspiration #oceanbeach #oceanbeach1502 See more

Let’s talk a bit about chakras. We all have 7 major energy centers (chakras) along the spine.The first and second chakras being-- the root and the sacral. The root being associated with physical needs, while the sacral is often associated with creativity (and sexuality and sexual creation aka baby-makin’).. To put it simply, when our basic needs don't feel met, it's difficult to get creative, or do much of anything really. That being said-- keep in mind it can feel li...ke runnin’ through thick, sticky honey, if you’re trying to rush into a creative process, while feelin' scarcity mindset. Check in with where your focus should be today. Should you be grounding down and feeling the sweet nurturing nature of this Earth, in order to remind yourself you’re provided for? Or perhaps you’re feeling abundance’s flow and it’s time to get those creative juices pumping?! Wanna learn more about the chakra systems? Check out our package on namastream (link in bio for digital studio) where I talk a little bit about each one, then guide you through a movement, breath & meditation practice to go along with the knowledge. Let’s start watering those roots today, bae. #oceanbeach #chakrahealing #chakras #reunify #yogainsd #art #onlineyoga #onlineyogaclasses
