What a weekend at @yogajournalevents! I feel so open and inspired, and I'm blown away by the learning, connections and the community that came together over the last two days. Thank you to everyone who practiced and shared in the immersion yesterday and my class this afternoon! Thank you @paulinecaballero and @calmmom_kristendollard for co-creating with me and making the live kick-off to #PillarsofPower a huge success! We did it! And most of all, thank you to my teacher, mentor and friend @baronbaptisteyoga 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 #YogaJournal #BaptisteYoga #PowerYoga #love #WhyBaptsiteYoga #practice #yoga #yogini #YJLIVE @baptisteyoga 📷 @jessicakenny (at Yoga Journal Conference: San Francisco)

Strong core, strong practice. Off the mat, core strength allows you to move through the world with more grace and ease, and puts you in touch with your personal power.

Yoga poses are containers for energy, so when you set an intention for your practice, each posture becomes an opportunity to align with and bring to life what is most important to you.

How are you doing with your intentions for the new year? Learn how to use your yoga practice to realize your intentions in my latest post with @yogajournal, 8 Poses to Activate Your Intentions. (link in bio)

If you want to supercharge your practice, join me and my teacher for an all-day #PillarsofPower immersion in San Francisco at Yoga Journal Live this Saturday! Sign-up at yogajournalevents.com.

This is happening! Next Saturday in San Francisco, please join me and my teacher @baronbaptisteyoga for an all day immersion into the 5 Pillars of @baptisteyoga at @yogajournalevents! Space is limited, so sign up today at yjevents.com. #PillarsofPower #BaptisteYoga #WhyBaptsiteYoga #yoga #practice #Repost @yogajournalevents ・・・ New SF Workshop: On Sat Jan. 16 join Baron Baptiste and his master teacher Leah Cullis as they take you through the 5 pillars of power: drishti or focus, breath, foundation, heat, and flow. Plus, Baron will introduce what he believes is the sixth pillar of power: imperfection. He will dedicate part of the afternoon on a practice intimately tied to the subject of his new book out in May of 2016 titled “Perfectly Imperfect.” Be ready for a high-energy, emotional experience where you will practice all of the Baptiste tools to create change: meditation, asana, and inquiry. @baptisteyoga @baronbaptisteyoga @leahcullis #YogaJournal #YJLIVE (at Yoga Journal Conference: San Francisco)

Create Light & Joy

The holiday season is a busy time and it can be easy to get swept away by food, parties, shopping, celebrations….and stress! This time of year my yoga practice is essential for me to show up as my best and brightest self. My practice has helped teach me how to slow down when I’m feeling busy and overwhelmed, how to come back to my breath and center in stressful times, and to move forward with presence and power after I get carried away with the holidays.

Embrace and celebrate the season by honoring the practices that create light and joy for you. This may mean taking 5 minutes to enjoy a cup of tea before a party, pausing for a few deep breaths in a hectic airport, or jumping on your mat for 10 minutes before your family arrives. Keep your focus on how you want to feel and the energy you want to create with your loved ones, and let these intentions guide as you navigate this busy season.

Give yourself time to breathe and just be. By honoring your needs, you honor everyone around you as you show up more available for #connection and #celebration. Happy Holidays! xoxo

Thank you @lululemon Domain! Tonight the team from #lululemon #domainaustin fueled some happiness and gifted everyone in my 6pm @wanderlustyogaatx class a $20 gift certificate! I've had the honor of working with Lululemon for the last 8 years from them supporting my teaching locally as an ambassador, to partnering to bring yoga to the White House lawn, to them teaching me how to be a better business owner and #entrepreneur. I'm so grateful for their ongoing love, support, coaching and contribution to me being my best. And it's always an amazing bonus when they drop into class and spread some holiday love! Thank you! I love my team at the domain! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #fuelhappiness #thankyou #gratitude #AustinYoga #ATX #poweryoga #baptisteyoga #wanderlustyogaatx #ambassadorlove (at Wanderlust Yoga Austin)

Last night I got to sit down with @waylonlewis and @elephantjournal for his @walkthetalkshow. We had a fun and light-hearted conversation about my past life in the political world and the journey I took to be where I am today. In our discussion of my upcoming projects, he was especially interested in the morning rituals I practice to stay grounded within the stress of modern life. Stay tuned for the full interview and for an insiders look at my morning routine. #YogaJournal #EstesPark #ElephantJournal #nutrition #wellness #vitality #YourVibrantLife #morningritual #practice #BaptisteYoga #yoga #yogini #liveyouryoga #YJlive #journey @yogajournal @yogajournalevents (at YMCA of the Rockies)
