Baby rabbits lying all cozy in a pile with very grumpy faces.

Whenever I need cheering up, I look at this bunny picture I took.

I can't help but laugh at a pile of grumpy baby rabbits. Especially the one on top right.

There's a metaphor there somewhere.

Although I could never write poetry, turns out I have the skills to translate it!

My collaboration with @ushakova.bsky.social gave birth to this beautiful animation about the value of acknowledging and accepting your inner shadow.

It has been A DAY.

😂😂😂

Lmk when you've done it and I'll follow!

Love me some Pincha Mayurasana!

*I fell immediately after the picture was taken

to enjoy the fields
and freely roam
a place far away
we now call home...

You're Love, You're Light by Daria Ushakova Listen to the beautiful song about being worthy

Why do bears suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be Mauling you

The Day I Dreamed of Shadow - is a story about the value of accepting your shadow and harmony of shadow (Vagra) and light (Light). The mother symbolizes a person who wasn't ready to accept her shadow.

My god, I feel that! Most times it's "I'm not in any photos" or "wow this is worse than a passport photo"

Yes! Repair and restore!

Yoga Burnout: Reclaiming My Space on the Mat Like for so many others, yoga has been my go-to for grounding and self-care, especially during times of high stress. However, when yoga is part of your job, it’s easy for lines to get blurred…

I dislike the opinion that yoga is always a reprieve. In the right circumstances, it can be.

But when we are conditioned to push further, extend the streak, the yoga addiction can turn toxic.

When it's part of your job, it's even harder to find balance, and it's time to take care differently.

Challenging! There's a lot of "letting go of expectations" work happening inside right now

I'm gonna take a wild guess that your teenage years happened in early 00s because SAME

Reasons to run at night: today, I saw a shooting star ✨

My first one was Hatha, the other Hatha/Vinyasa (both 200hr) and now I'm doing 100hr Nidra training! 😊

Jealous of the views and shorts weather!

Same reasons: no people, no cars, no smoking.

But another major reason I love trails is the wildlife. Nothing beats spotting a moose or a fox cub in their element.
