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. #rabbitpile #bunnyrabbit

There's a metaphor there somewhere. #butterfly #photography #barbedwire #peacockbutterfly #nature

*sigh* You win, capitalism. I want.

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. #duality #yinandyang #poetrysky

It has been A DAY.

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...

youtu.be/5nTxSAJgQvs 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. @bendandascend.bsky.social #shadow #innerlight #self-love #vagra #legend

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.

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

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.

One week until my last race this year! Am I ready? Nope. #trailrunning #runsky

As you head along the South West Coast path towards Woody Bay, North Devon, the signage becomes a little less useful to the average hiker or trail runner #devon

Let's admit that yoga is not for everyone, nor is it *the* answer. It works well for some, which is a huge privilege. I try to keep that in mind, as a practitioner and a teacher.

The Day I Dreamed of Shadow @ushakova.bsky.social wrote a freeform poem about the value of balancing your inner light and darkness. Our paths crossed by some miracle, which meant I had the privilege of adapting the poem to English and narrating the video. Coming soon. #duality #yinandyang

I just wanted an excuse to share a memory of when I kissed a llama. That is all.
