HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!
On Mar 8 each year we honor women. Interestingly originating 20th-century, by the Socialist Party of America in NYC, then Europe in support of the Russian Revolution. It was 1977 when the UN recognized women’s rights, incl suffrage & a call for gender equality.
REDUCE MY FOOTPRINT
I appreciate AI is everywhere, with constructive uses, and here to stay.
I am on a mission to reduce my support & engagement with this tech.
A belief in environmental justice, I'm not ready to give up these values.
Please consider that less is more.

Daily at 2 pm Alexa says, “Remember to breathe.” I pause, hand on heart, take 2-3 long, slow breaths. Feels so good. Then return to what I was doing w/intention.

A CALL TO PRACTICE!
Self-awareness is the key to unlearning what we miss when not paying attention. Look with the intention to learn. Be gentle & practice kindness with yourself. Irritation does not serve you, your heart, mind or health. Let go and come present to self-love
#ahimsa #yogalife
LISTEN WITH YOUR WHOLE BEING!
Nothing to translate.
Be present, trust, and follow.
Let this be the meaning of soul music.
Let this be the way you lead. 💞
Bailemos! 💃🏽

Dr. King, revolutionary. “Beyond Vietnam,” speech labeled un-American. “If we are to get on the right side of the world revolution we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.” #ahimsa=non-harm
YOGA MORE THAN POSES (Asana)
It's me, taking deep breaths & figuring out how to let go of (aparigraha) overwhelm or frustration into a good deed. It's me, practicing my yoga. It's about sangha (community), pranayama (breath control), and seva (service) 🧘🏽♀️
I love blending my practice into my biz."
SLOW DOWN TO SPEED UP SUCCESS
Bring intention & slow breaths to the transitions in your day. Move a bit slower. No rushing. Be present. Get grounded & centered before taking action. Find your center and lead from your best self.

HAPPY ARCHER
Last visit range 1+ yrs. Grateful no rain, sweltering heat. Results mixed. Joyous feeling from 1st shot.

Ancient wisdom guides me each day, e.g., IChing, Tao, ancient yoga, or other sacred texts & rituals.
Today, it’s yin-feminine energy of stillness to balance noisy, aggressive energy. Helpful when colonization & patriarchy are so loud.

Chaos can drain or call you to deepen your practice. K.I.S.S.=Keep It Simple & Sacred. Focus on intention versus length of time or perfection. Just breathe & choose simple practice. Bring ease & balance to the moment, your life.

The OG Independence Day 1776, didn’t include many. Yet, the Declaration of Independence reminds us we define independence w/ community, self-love + independent voice. We are called to do so = safety & happiness of all.

What is a YINpreneur?
Do you ever wonder what I mean by YINpreneur™, yin-feminine or yang-masculine energy?
I thought about creating a video or blog post, then realized it may be more fun to start with a simple quiz.
Let's learn & practice together about this ancient wisdom. bit.ly/yinprquiz
RELEASING FEAR IN CHAOS
Hard to find peace. Some days feels impossible. Especially for empaths.
Turn off news, curate feeds, breathe slowly, deeply. Focus on exhale to release heavy feelings. Hate & fear drain. Kindness (ahimsa) for yourself & others (actions,thoughts,speech)
No goal just practice.
Mindfulness & Advocacy
#wayoftheyinpreneur #mindfulness #decolonized #decolonizeyourmind #decolonizedyoga
Navigate chaos with kindness & self-love 💜
#ahimsa yoga, Sanskrit = non-harm. This grounding brings peace & space to resist.
Do the work + pause & share kindness w/self. Even when accompanied by rightful anger.

Just pause, for a brief second and breathe.
There is not always a need for sitting meditation, deep thought or conversations, or BIG actions.
Simplicity can bring peace. Even if for a moment.
#slowdowntospeedupsuccess #wayoftheyinpreneur #mindfulness #justbreathe
TAKE A DEEP BREATH. ALLOW THE JOY 💜
* Inhale. Stressed? Focus on exhale.
* Allow to slow naturally.
* 1 hand on heart & 1 on tummy. Feel rise & fall.
* Focus on ur breath & just be.
* Soft or fleeting = OK
* No judgment
