Yoga with Chainey

Thank you for having me yesterday ! Healthy Kids day was completely full of fun energy! 🧘🏻‍♀️✨🤸🏻‍♀️

It’s been a long time since I’ve stood on a field, at the middle of a stadium, wearing royal blue 😂 Reminding me of my UK Dance team days. The difference is….. I didn’t feel pressured, I felt content, happy, separate from outcome, not judged for my performance(by myself or others). I connected with my community instead of competing with them. I stayed connected to myself.

When I was on my college dance team, struggling with myself, struggling with my inner peace - that is when I first found yoga and it brought me back to my self. I found peace I hadn’t experienced in many years. Now peace is closer and more accessible than it used to be.

I learned the term Performance Based Esteem last week - when we base our worth off of the outcome of our performance - this has definitely been my life struggle, my addiction. We are not our performances, we are not the opinions others have of us, we are worthy no matter what because we are here and we are human. I am not a perfect human, but feeling this shift from ten years ago to today was truly rewarding. Follow your heart, be you, have fun, remember your worth. 💙

“I wanna play!” 🤸🏻‍♀️ this is the mantra that came to me after a fun morning rocket class with

I had been in my head… comparing my practice to others… and forgetting how far I had come myself. I think we can all get caught up in this. Then… After deciding to play, CD my WHOLE day shifted.

It’s not about how “well” we play. It’s about getting our ass on the playground, having fun, and making friends.

When we’re playful we take the seriousness out of life, life becomes fun and fluid like playdo instead of hard and rigid.

How can you choose to play with life??? In all of its beautiful moments.

Wishing you Peace and FUN! ✌️🙏✨

P.S. knows how to throw one hell of a yoga retreat!! Thank you to them and for a funtastic time!!
