Coming back to this practice feels like coming hOMe. I originally created this Maharishi Yoga Asana practice video as a project for class while studying Maharishi Ayurveda, and it completely transformed my understanding of what yoga truly is.

I’m humbled that so many people have connected with it because its beauty is in its simplicity: every body can participate no matter your experience of practice.

Returning to it this morning, it reminded me that getting back on the mat doesn’t have to mean doing more. A principal of Maharishi is to do less and accomplish more. Thus, it simply means a slowing down and returning to the essence of the practice. Which is in perfect alignment with this full-moon.

This gentle 25-minute practice is perfect first thing in the morning, before meditation, before bed, or anytime you need to reconnect with yourself.

Find a quiet space, breathe, and meet yourself where you are.

The full practice is FREE on my YouTube channel. I invite you to Subscribe (free) to support Jai Bhakti Yoga and help me continue sharing accessible yoga and holistic wellness with our communities.

Much love y’all

Wow y’all, it’s incredible to look back at who we once were, what our bodies could do, and all the life and transitions that happened in between.

Today I returned to one of my Heart Chakra practices, and let’s just say… my body is NOT where it was when I recorded this. LOL. But maybe that’s exactly the lesson.

Anahata, the Heart Chakra, is associated with air and creating space to breathe, feel, receive, and release.

I open this instructional video about the Heart Chakra for my teacher training course, with about 15 minutes exploring the Heart Chakra, followed by a 25-minute heart-opening practice. Please do modify, breathe, and meet your body where it is today if you decide to do this practice.

I’m not teaching gymnastics. I’m teaching yoga, so most everyone is able to do this flow.

There are no coincidences.

In the midst of so much transformation, this video on Ajna Chakra, our Third Eye and center of intuition, appeared in my YouTube feed today. My own teaching somehow returning to teach me again exactly when I needed it.

Ajna asks us to see clearly.

What does a deficient or excessive Third Eye Chakra look like? And what happens when we already know something needs to change, but continue procrastinating, avoiding, or questioning what our intuition is telling us?

As we move through the energy following the Leo solar eclipse, this feels like a powerful time to release what has completed its purpose and create space for what’s trying to emerge.

Even the practice at the end challenged me today, but it was exactly what I needed to get grounded, centered, and reconnect intuition with action.

Take a few moments to listen to the teaching, notice where you recognize yourself, and move through the practice with me.

One of the biggest misconceptions about preventing type 2 diabetes is that it’s simply about diet and exercise.

It isn’t.

From the perspectives of both Yoga and Ayurveda, lasting health comes from addressing the root causes of imbalance. Chronic stress, poor sleep, unhealthy routines, emotional dysregulation, and improper nutrition all contribute to insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction.

This is why yoga is so much more than physical postures.

Through breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, movement, and conscious daily habits, yoga helps regulate the nervous system and create the behavioral changes necessary for long-term health. Ayurveda complements this with individualized nutrition, daily routines, digestive support, and lifestyle practices that restore balance before disease develops.

Together, Yoga and Ayurveda offer a powerful, holistic approach to preventing type 2 diabetes and creating lasting wellness.

As my education has expanded through Ayurveda, Integrative Medicine, and the CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program, I’ve completely evolved the Jai Bhakti 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training to reflect this integrated approach.

If you’ve previously completed or enrolled in the training, you’ll receive complimentary access to the updated curriculum in the coming months.

If you’re feeling called to teach yoga, deepen your practice, or learn how Yoga and Ayurveda can support lifelong health, let’s connect for a one-on-one discovery call and see if this next step is right for you.

✨ A return to the Self… with a capital S. ✨

Today, my intention was simple: return to yoga.

After being away from the studio for quite some time, I arrived expecting one experience and quickly realized it wasn’t the class I thought I had signed up for. For the first time in all my years of practicing yoga, I quietly turned around and left. It wasn’t the studio’s fault—it was mine for not reading the class description.

So, I came home.

I rolled out my mat, opened my YouTube channel, and selected the very first class on my channel that popped up… Beginner Serenity Restorative Flow.

Ironically, it was exactly what I needed.

As I listened to my own voice guiding the practice, I found myself laughing at the moments where I stumbled over my words, but I also found waves of emotion moving through me. Even though the class was designed to be gentle and restorative, some of the postures challenged me, not because they were difficult, but because of everything I’ve been carrying.

Life has a way of asking us to pause.

Transitions.
Endings.
New beginnings.
Retrogrades.
Awakenings….

The words people speak that can cut more deeply than we expect. The pain they feel and pour onto you, and as someone who wants to repair everything, it was the first time I had to to stop so I can repair mySelf.

Through it all, yoga has remained my anchor.

It was my first passion, and it always will be.

As I practiced today, I realized this wasn’t simply a return to yoga.

It was a return to the Self.

To the part of me that remembers who I am beneath the noise.
The part that breathes before reacting.
The part that chooses peace over fear.
The part that has always been there… waiting patiently for me to come hOMe.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or simply in need of a moment to breathe, I’d love to share this practice with you.

It’s a true beginner class, designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Sometimes healing doesn’t require us to become someone new.

Sometimes it simply asks us to remember who we’ve been all along.

A return to the Self.

Back to the breath.
Back to the heart.
Back to Om. 🤍🧘‍♀️

Starting to take my body back.
Starting to take my mind back.

I’ve been battling severe depression for a while now, along with a secret recovery from a mild stroke I had about 2 yrs ago. Fluctuating between discipline and neglect, between consistent practice and being consumed by my thoughts. In Ayurveda, they call it Prahgya Aparadha, when the mind gets lost in negative patterns and forgets its truth.

It hasn’t been for the faint of heart. Many would’ve given up and found the quick and easy way out to meet their maker. But perseverance, honesty, integrity, and never giving up are core values of mine.

I’ve also been trying to navigate different career paths, searching for what truly calls me and trying to find myself again in the process. As an Ayurvedic Health Consultant, we are not immune to the intensity of energy -good or bad- that enters our fields. Coming back home to the mat at this yoga studio in Austin called gave me the momentum I was seeking.

Today’s Align and Shine flow wasn’t hard because of the asana, it was hard because of staying present. That was the real practice.

Something is shifting inside me. More compassion for myself. More peace. More awareness. Major internal changes unfolding. And the desire to teach and work in the field again as a “healer.”

Every day is an opportunity to choose differently. Thank you to whoever read this. I appreciate your time.

What choice are you making today?

🕊️ I lost my spark for yoga… but today, I laughed again.

I haven’t really been myself since losing my mom — and soon after, my grandfather, before we ever made peace. 💔
The guilt pulled me away from Jai Bhakti Yoga… and from the yoga world that once felt like home.

I used to be obsessed with yoga — my life, my medicine, my purpose, intertwined with Ayurveda. 🪷
But after all that loss, the light dimmed.

Two years of depression followed — and even a mild stroke while driving left my left side numb. I couldn’t lift a roll of toilet paper. Teaching stopped feeling authentic because I was dying inside.

I questioned everything — my faith, my spirit, myself. Imposter syndrome took over, and I finally had to stop. 🫀

A dear friend got me to the hospital that day. I quit va**ng. I began to heal — slowly, breath by breath. 💚

My left arm is still weak, deep breaths still sting behind my clavicle, but I’m pushing through — because I am stronger than I think.

Today, I played with a pose that reminded me why I fell in love with yoga. I even laughed at myself. 😅
Healing isn’t always graceful — sometimes, it’s just funny.

To anyone finding their way back after darkness — this is for you. 🌑➡️🌞
Some days you rise, some days you fall, some days… you just laugh.

✨ Just keep showing up. ✨

I haven’t really been myself since losing my mom… and soon after, my grandfather — who I never had the chance to reconnect with after a terrible disagreement. 💔

That guilt has followed me for years. It pulled me away from Jai Bhakti Yoga… and honestly, from the yoga community as a whole.

I used to be obsessed with yoga — it was my life, my purpose, and my healing, always intertwined with my love of Ayurveda. 🪷 But after all that loss, the spark dimmed.

Over the past two years, depression took over my life. I even had a mild stroke while driving — my left side went completely numb. I couldn’t even pick up a roll of toilet paper. 🫣

Teaching yoga stopped feeling authentic because, truthfully, I was dying inside. I questioned my spirituality. I couldn’t trust others — and I couldn’t trust myself.

And here I was, fighting imposter syndrome every time I stood at the front of a class… until I finally had to stop altogether. 🫀

A dear friend took me to the hospital and stayed by my side through the pain that gripped my chest, heart, and lungs. That was my wake-up call. I quit va**ng. I started healing — slowly, breath by breath. 🕊️

My left arm is still weak, and deep breaths still bring a sharp pain behind my clavicle — but I keep pushing. Because I know I’m stronger than I realize, and more powerful than I think. 💪🏼

Today, I went to yoga and played with the foundations of what could one day become a half forearm/handstand balance. Later, I laughed at myself at Chronos — because healing isn’t always graceful… sometimes, it’s just funny. 😅

To anyone finding their way back to themselves after walking through darkness — this is for you. 🌑➡️🌞
Some days you’ll rise. Some days you’ll fall. Some days, you’ll just laugh at what could’ve been.

Just keep showing up. ✨

Please enjoy my silly little video — inspired by a pose I once saw years ago on the back cover of a Yoga Journal ad. It feels good to feel curious again. 💚
