If a thought arises that says, ‘I’m not good enough,’

→ Pause.

→ Observe.

→ Ask: ‘Is this true? Or is this a pattern?’ 🤔

You are the awareness behind the thought, not the thought itself. Treat yourself accordingly. 😌🤌🏾

Yoga teaches that we are not our thoughts—we are the observer of them. 👀

But if that’s true, why do we let self-judgment run the show? Why do we believe every mean thing our inner voice tells us? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hello

Yoga Therapy & Emotional Balance: The Foundation for Healthy Relationships (For monogamous, non-monogamous, & self-relationships alike)

Oh gawsh! 🥰 I’m so happy you are enjoying the series!! More to come!!

Stop blaming yourself for struggling with emotions. Start working with your nervous system instead.

❓ Have you ever struggled with boundary guilt? What helped you move through it? ⬇️

✔️ Today, practice saying:
• “I need more time to process before answering.”
• “I’m not comfortable with that.”
• “That doesn’t work for me.”

Your boundaries deserve space. So do you.

💡 Boundaries aren’t about shutting people out. They’re about teaching people how to love you better. If someone respects you, they’ll want to know your needs.

💜 For years, I thought setting boundaries meant pushing people away. I wanted to be open, easygoing, low maintenance—so I let people cross lines I didn’t even know I had.

If setting boundaries makes you feel guilty, read this. 🧵

What’s one thing you wish more people understood about Polyamory? 🤔 🔽

💬 Repeat this with me & let me know—what part of yourself are you embracing today?

🔹 Reflection:
Before seeking validation from others, I honor my truth. I allow myself to evolve, change, and show up as the fullest version of me, without apology.

🌞 Morning Affirmation:
“I am worthy of being fully seen and understood—by myself first.”

Healing isn’t becoming a different person. It’s returning to yourself.

5/ Polyamory isn’t just about who you love—it’s about how you love, starting with yourself. And yoga therapy? It’s the practice that helps you show up fully, in every relationship.

4/ Your nervous system? It needs grounding for both. Your breath? It’s the bridge between chaos and calm. Your body? It holds wisdom beyond words.

3/ Both require emotional balance, radical honesty, and a willingness to sit with discomfort—whether it’s in a difficult conversation or a deep hip opener.

2/🧘‍♂️ In yoga, we practice non-attachment (aparigraha), presence (dharana), and self-study (svadhyaya).
💜 In polyamory, we navigate jealousy, communicate our needs, and cultivate trust.

1/ Think polyamory is just about multiple partners? Think again. It’s about self-awareness, emotional regulation, and deep connection—just like yoga therapy 🤯 🧵
