Accept that the negatives exist and accept that it is only a setback. To do that you must not run from them. Do not hide from the bad times and do not try to minimize them. Let them hurt. They are a sign that you have more growing to do to get to where you want to go, otherwise you would not even notice them. Just the fact that you are seeing the negatives shows that you want more positives, else you would not see them as negatives. If you are hurt from the break of a relationship it shows you how much love you want. If you hate being poor again or still or feel terrible about the incoming bills it shows you how much more wealth you still dream to have. And if you hate yourself and feel like nothing is going right it is because you still dream of a life where everything is. Do not let that dream die. For that you must accept that these are bad times that must change. If you do not let them be as bad as they are they will continue to creep up silently and overtake your life through the cracks and breaks. Accept that life sucks, that things are bad right now and then come to the only conclusion you can be that person you want to be.

“The mind gives meaning to everything that happens in the past or that we believe will take place in the future, and that becomes our story. And we love our stories, because they tell us WHO WE ARE. A deep and purification and transformation occurs when we have a breakthrough in seeing that nothing has any meaning except the one we give it”....Baron Baptiste⁣ ⁣ From my Personal Development read- “Being of Power” today, and can I just say⁣ HO👏🏽LY👏🏽 MO👏🏽SES👏🏽⁣ What are you getting upset, frustrated, irritated, or annoyed about lately???⁣ Did you know, YOU have the power to change that meaning?⁣ YOU have the power-⁣ to give it absolutely NO meaning at all, or rather, a different-maybe even positive & beautiful meaning?🤯⁣ ⁣ I know this was huge for me- because the stories I tend to tell myself can sometimes be pretty harsh.

How you are showing up for Yourself and what is a way you can either, give yoga another chance, or begin a daily commitment to a new practice? Comment below or DM me. Getting in our own way, holds us back from experiencing the depth of possibilities. Self- sabotage, doubts, and stories that emerge from past experiences only keep us weighted down. One must offer a commitment to oneself in order to make the necessary changes towards progression. I elaborate on this post in my Jai Bhakti Blog on Tumblr. (Read the whole write up there). Resources of teachers to explore online to get you started or re-started are tagged below. I’d love to hear from you, so please be sure to comment and post below.  Next week we get into How to Show up for yourSelf.  Subscribe to our Jai Bhakti Yoga Foundation YouTube for Free Classes #overcomechallenges #yogateachers #yoga #yogacoaching #yogaforall #yogateachertraining #igtv #igtvlive #yogaforbeginners #firstclass #youtube #showup #nofear #jaibhaktiyoga #blogcast @jaibhaktiyoga @elenamalova_com @kinoyoga @baronbaptisteyoga @colonyyoga #onlinecommunity @corbinstacyyogashuff @wildlotusyoga @mosesloveyoga @forrestyoga @creeya.yoga @rooteduyoga @yogawithleenola @yogawithdena https://www.instagram.com/p/CTv11_csDtB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hello Everyone, Ken the Karmi here! . . . Some words of wisdom from 40 Days to Personal Revolution, . . . "Have the courage to face the pure, unsweetened truth of ourselves so that we can move on and grow in more honest and authentic ways. It is simply the willingness to see in full truthfulness what we need to face within ourselves and our lives so that we may get into the right alignment." . . . ~ @baronbaptisteyoga~ . . . Take time for yourself, on a regular basis, to check in with mind body spirit. Ask "how are you today?" See what comes up and then be with it, what ever it is. Then accept it and go about your day, knowing that you are being your most authentic self. . . . Be the light in your life! . . . #WhyBaptisteYoga #EvolutionPowerYoga #CommunityPowered #kennethhaultonphotography #canon6d #portraitphotography #yogaeverydamnday #vinyasaflow #neverstopexploring #loveyourself (at Evolution Power Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuL-iFvgGX5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n0y22o7667in

FOREVER A STUDENT 🧘🏼‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️ 🙌💫 Who motivates you? Have you tried something different lately? Have you stepped out of your regular routine? . This pic was taken a few years back with @baronbaptisteyoga when I was stepping up my yoga game. I loved everything I learned from Baron. It was definitely a challenging retreat and I took away so much and learned so much more about not only the practice aspect but a beautiful amount of yogic theory. I enjoyed pushing my self and being a student to someone with a vast amount of knowledge. As Jeffery Benjamin said " A GREAT TEACHER NEVER STOPS BEING A STUDENT" 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫 The power of knowledge excites me and I want to off that to others. Everyone can learn something from each other and we can all be students and teachers. When you feel your ego growing and getting a little too confident or comfortable in your practice or teachings, take time to expand your knowledge and become a student. Let’s all help each other to evolve 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #yoga #adventure #retreat #yogajourney #mauihawaiiretreats #yogagirl #yogapractice #yogalove #instagoodness #empowering #yogini #asana #practice #yogainspiration #strength #meditation #mindfullness #instagood #selfcare #instagramphotooftheday #gratitude #inspirationalquotes #womenshealth #yogaofinstagram (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtrOAzWB0vF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wu3n8r42agiw

The holidays has come to an end for some of the students as school calls them back again. In Uganda on 09th January 2023, that's when candidate classes from some schools have reported back to start up first term as last year's third term was cut short due to #ebola out break. This is the most important moment for me with children to practice #meditation as we prepare them to get back to school. Their minds has be in present and set their goals and objectives of this year. If you have your students there and you need them to acquire this kind of knowledge then hesitate to contact me anytime. Thanks so much to @roottorize for their generous supports of #yogamats and if you need quality yoga pants then just check out their website or page and purchase the best from them. Also know that each purchase you do, some of the percentage goes to communities of Uganda to access yoga @lululemon @yogaalliance @baronbaptisteyoga @aloyoga @alo @yolohayoga @yolohastudio @lululemonsg @lululemonexperiential @eduminofindia @ministryofayush @svyasayogauniversity @svyasayic @karuna.yoga.studio @yogajournal @yoga.pura.vida @violadavis @givebackyoga @usmissionuganda #yoga #yogaeverywhere #slumyoga #kidsyoga #childrenmentalhealth #communityyoga #acroyoga #Jamming #yogamats #yogateacher #peaceofmind #meditation #community #uganda🇺🇬 #instructorokurutgeorge #yogaflowwithokurut #Roottorise #heartofdanceafricarhythm #okurutgeorge (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnODj4Qo8rT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yoga is about having a razor sharp focus. • This week at @baptisteyoga @baronbaptisteyoga level one #jouneryintopower teacher training, I have learned that there needs to be softness in life. I enjoy and love being good at what I do but not everything is a competition. Thank you everyone for putting up with my competitive nature. Now I can truly lead not from being the winner but by empowering and listening to others. • Thank you all for your love and friendship. And thank you @lululemonhk for letting me know what it takes to be a global ambassador like @baronbaptisteyoga. • First 📸 by @its_all_yoga • • • • • #yoga #yogalove #yogalife #yogainspiration #yogaeverywhere #igyoga #instayoga #yogapractice #iloveyoga #lululemonambassador #menatyoga #victorchauyoga #boysofyoga #garudasana #eaglepose #warrior3 #yogateachertraining (at Phuket, Thailand)

What is the purpose of learning and engaging with other humans, if not to shift your vision in some way? When I first started to do yoga, I looked at it as a workout, that makes you sweat and by the end of class, I felt pretty amazing. Its been 1.5 years of Evolution Power Yoga at the Harrisburg, PA studio and I keep learning. Not only about becoming more aware of what's going on inside of me but about how we are all connected. Yoga is something that is pretty profound. You learn about breathe work and poses that allow energy to flow through your body like a temple. But it doesn't end there, it affects everything around you as well. Taking that positive energy flow into the world has profound meaning and joy on everything you encounter. Yoga has taught me that. There is so much more to learn. How do you shift your vision of your self and surroundings? . . . #kennethhaultonphotography #EvolutionPowerYoga #yogaeverydamnday #CommunityPowered #shiftyourvision #awareness #positiveenergy #harrisburgpa #vinyasaflow @baronbaptisteyoga @evolutionpoweryoga (at Evolution Power Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRQBfRgF0F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3dnw7xl91g9d

Service Whatever purpose you came here for, you must not think it was for yourself alone. That’s looking at it too narrowly. If you think it was for the common good, you will serve others. When you die, you will be smiling while others will be crying when they remember how you served them selflessly. We don’t need to sit here and tell you about the health benefits of yoga such as increased flexibility, better mental health, reduced anxiety and stress, protection from injury, and overall better fitness. Those are just a few of them. But what about the benefits of doing yoga, not just by yourself, but with someone else? Namely, your kids. Doing yoga with kids has a number of benefits, both emotional and physical. Yoga decreases stress & anxiety And as a parent, you are the primary influence on your child of what is healthy and good. If you are always running around and stressed, then they will come to interpret that behavior as encouraged. Our kids live in a busy world of school pressures, homework, after school activities, even media, like video games and television programs, and we may not realize the stressful impact of these influences. In reality, even young children may face more pressures and daily stressors than we realize. Encouraging your child to do yoga, and practicing it with them, can help balance out these pressures and ease stress. In fact, multiple studies have shown that yoga can decrease the secretion of cortisol, the primary stress hormone, making it one of the top forms of natural anxiety relief. Furthermore, yoga helps teach its students reliable techniques for relaxation and inner-fulfillment, which can help set your child up to navigate life’s challenge better. @yogaalliance @givebackyoga @yolohayoga @uluyoga @markwhitwell @nude_yogagirl @baronbaptisteyoga @lululemon @lululemoneurope @lululemonsg @lululemontw @facethecurrent @dailymonitorug @cnn @bbcafrica #yoga #yogaeverywhere #yogaboy #yogamats #heartofdanceafricanrhythm #yogapracticenotyogaperfect #yogapose #yogaflow #yogalife #yogainschools #yogatherapy #yogacommunity #communityyoga #slumyoga #childrenmentalhealth #childrenyoga #meditation #yogaflowwithokurut (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeG3SfsKuAM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Live in the moment. One of the key to happiness is to live your life in the moment. You have no control over your pasts and you can’t predict what the future holds. During my class with the students of St Janan Luwum Bombo campus branch and I told them that they have to live in the moment so that they can be able to move forward with the world. So now am still calling for all lovely people around the world to come out and support me through reaching out to more communities now if we don't join hands together and support each other then I won't be able to reach out to more communities in Uganda 🇺🇬. Yoga is growing and more importantly that schools are picking up interest slowly and that makes me so happy.

The promise of school yoga. Research on school-based mindful yoga is still in its infancy. Several research reviews support implementing these programs, but it’s important to keep in mind that some studies have found limited or no effects from them. And many studies use “self-report” questionnaires where students rate themselves, rather than collecting objective data or reports from parents and teachers. Larger, more rigorous research needs to be done to clarify the benefits of these programs and what causes them, including the optimal amount of practice time and best practices for implementation. In just the past two years, more than 350 new studies have come out exploring the benefits of yoga and mindfulness for youth—a clear sign that interest in this subject is growing rapidly. We’re confident that the evidence for yoga in schools will continue to expand, and that it will help students cultivate social, emotional, and physical health; academic success; and a positive school climate. So here is my first class with St. Janan Luwum Kabalagala branch, students shown up in big number to do yoga even though the challenge was yoga mats but it didn't stop us from doing the session. I did with them some breathing techniques which were so challenging to some of them and then introduction to yoga that's beginner's class. I need to continue with these yoga classes to different schools in Uganda 🇺🇬 but I need people who can support me with connection to schools and also those ones who can fund me to give these classes to children at free cost because they really need them. @yolohayoga @yogawithcrio @barbiekyagulanyi @yogajournal @kathie_yogi @yogainspiration @alo @aloyoga @baronbaptisteyoga @baptisteyoga @stretchylicious @nude_yogagirl @prisonyogaproject @givebackyoga @prisonyogaproject_newhampshire @prisonyogasb #yogainschools #childrenmentalhealth #childrenmeditation #childrenyoga #children #schools #teaching #communityyoga #prisonyoga #schoolyoga #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #meditation #yogaeverywhere #yogagirl #yogalove #yogaboy #yogapose #yogainspiration #yogachallenge #yogajourney #yogapractice #givebackyogafoundation #yogateacher #uganda🇺🇬 #okurutgeo (at St Janan Luwum Ss Kabalagala) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaRzLfJtViA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Never underestimate the power of a beautiful mat — and these ones are pretty spectacular. It’s the same feeling of having cool neon sneaks that you can’t wait to show off at the gym. Having fitness gear that makes you happy makes you more motivated to use it. Because Yoga mats aren’t just pretty. The prints are all designed so yogis can track their alignment and posture during each and every pose, based on the lines and angles used. Hey, geometry does come in handy after all! The mats are also eco-friendly, made for everyone to practice on and I need to tell you that each day these children get a mat, even their practice changes because he/she becomes more commited than before. If you started your practice off the mat, with the best intentions of doing more yoga but have failed to live up to it, then now I tell you just get yourself a yoga then go with it to the yoga class or gym and then you tell us your experience. Anyway I need to appreciate @roottorize for donating these mats to one of the communities, I teach that's @Heart Of Dance African Rhythm and also I need to tell you that follow them if you need good yoga equipments, each purchase you do just know you are impacting lives of young generations who are in Uganda 🇺🇬 to do yoga. Anybody you are welcomed to support me with my community service that's #Yoga and #Dance. @roottorize @_stellan @ariglowskin @the.honeycat @givebackyoga @givebackscholars @yoga.pura.vida @yolohayoga @baronbaptisteyoga @rosalind.lucy @lubojanan_yoga @yogainspiration @yogajournal @aloyoga #yoga #yogalife #slumyoga #childrenyoga #yogamats #donate #support #communutyyoga #kidsyoga #uganda🇺🇬 #encouragement #yogaforeveryone #yogalifestyle #meditation #peacein #peaceout #peaceofmind #yogateacher #heartofdanceafricarythms #okurutgeorge (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVenIScoSD8/?utm_medium=tumblr

"I went to bed hungry many nights as a child. It was a Dream that dressed me up when I was ragged, and it was a Dream that filled me up when I was hungry. Now it’s my Dream to see that no child in this world ever goes hungry, certainly not here in America,, the most bountiful country in the world. We can do better…we must!" Dolly Parton This quote has been giving me a lot of energy each day I woke and read has I start up my day to work with children in Uganda 🇺🇬, has a child I passed through a lot which are the past now and it has given me a lot to do with these generations. I have been having the lunch program with different dance groups in Uganda 🇺🇬 has I teach them yoga and dance but the lockdown stopped everything and also the community which was giving a hand on it has got some challenges due to pandemic, but has covid19 lockdown was eased in Uganda 🇺🇬, am now planning to resume my lunch program with the children in communities, I do go and teach always. So now I know we are in hard time, where everyone is trying so hard to survive with the family but also know that we have a lot of innocent children who are facing it so much and they need our support always. Am calling upon everyone who is willing to give a hand on this lunch program back on its feet again because many children were engaging in yoga and dance so much and that was putting a lot smiles on my face. #support #donate #share @narendramodi @usmissionuganda @feedthechildrenorg @savethechildren @savethechildrenug @blacktapeproject @givebackyoga @lululemon @yoga @barefootandfreeyoga @baronbaptisteyoga @augiewindshine @winterblackswingfestival @blacklindyhf @alpharhythmkings @thaqueen66 #dance #yoga #skate #fun #children #communityyoga #loveyourself #tellyourstory #peaceofmind #children #food #lunch #smile #happiness #heartofdanceafricarythms #uganda🇺🇬 #okurutgeorge https://www.instagram.com/p/CSX8gLlId-Q/?utm_medium=tumblr
