Mind Body Soul Yoga+Wellness

*Self Compassion* Our conditioned minds are trained to look outside ourselves for validation and an understanding of who we are and how we should relate to the world. It begins as we take form. We need to be fed, cleansed and nurtured by others. We need this in order for the body to thrive and survive. ... Not all of us are fed, cleansed and nurtured... As we grow, this pattern intensifies. We learn ourselves to be sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, girls or boys. We see ourselves as black, white, Chinese, Latino. We have names (labels) and we begin to define our personalities by how we perceive how we are perceived. Do people think we are funny? Smart? Pretty? Good? Bad? Other’s ideas about us become our ideas about us. Many of us learn that we are only loveable when something occurs to invoke that lovability. In order to be loved we must be successful, a hard worker, smart...the list goes on. We have not learned that we are inherently loveable simply for existing. This is the core of why we have such difficulty showing ourselves unconditional love. And why we place conditions on our own self-love. You, we, all of us are loveable and loved simply for being who we are in this moment and every moment. Any beliefs to the contrary are simply more layers of conditioning and programming that must be brought to the surface to be seen, acknowledged and released. It sounds harder than it is. Conscious breathwork will begin this process and hold your hand the whole way. So simply begin with your breath. Inhale to a count of five. Exhale to the count of five. Focus on your heart and think of someone you love. Keep going. #mindbodyawareness #yoga #yogaeveryday #yogalove #yogisofinstagram #yogaoffthemat #mindbodysoulyoga See more

What change are you resisting right now? Is it REALLY as big of a deal as your mind is making it out to be? Walking through the door of change opens us to an entirely new experience in life. And that experience is often EXACTLY what we need at that moment.... The only true constant is change. Allow it. Flow with it. Trust it. #mindbodyawareness #riseandshine #livestreamingyoga #yoga #livestreamyogaclasses #onlineyoga #yogaeveryday #yogalove #namaste #yogapractice #yogisofinstagram #yogalife #asana #mindbodygram #practiceyoga #yoganyc #yogaflow #yogateacher #uptownnyc #yogapractice #yogatribe #yogaoffthemat #nycyoga #yogavibes #yogalife #yogahappylife #mindbodysoul #mindbodysoulyoga #meditation #whatmatters2020 See more

Alyssa Here! I have learned so much in the last twenty years, mostly by giving myself a hard time and learning the hard way. But over the last two decades I have amassed a pretty large toolbox of techniques and practices that nourish me. Comfort, Consistency, Community and Connection keep me aligned with those practices. I want to help you do the same. This is a unique membership that synthesizes all that I have learned and presents it to you in an approachable way. ... Ask yourself - What do I need today? How can I nourish myself more deeply? If a consistent ritual and practice of self-care is something you feel you need - look no further. I got you. We begin January 4th.To learn more, visit: https://www.alyssasnow.com/nourish-membership #nourish #nourishmembership #nourishmindbodysoul #yoga #livestreamyoga #meditation #pranayama #ondemandyoga #immersive #livestreamyogaclasses #yogaeveryday #yogalove #namaste #yogapractice #yogisofinstagram #yogalife #asana #mindbodygram #practiceyoga #yoganyc #yogaflow #yogateacher #yogamama

There are times where the mind is easier to rein in than others. It is easy to stick with the habitual way of thinking. Yet, this thinking brings unhappiness. What do we do to avoid this pain? We distract ourselves. We play games and completely check out. At the moment it feels like a respite from our chaos, but it’s the opposite. It is damaging. Our minds compare our inner worlds with everyone else's outer worlds. Our minds compare, co...ntrast, measure, judge, opine and latch onto whatever we perceive we don't have. It does not address our unhappiness, but rather makes it bigger. The mind takes over and pulls us from our power center. Our power center is: This. Moment. Now. At this moment there is space, there is time, there is breath. Tune in. Recognize the thinking and know that it is not you. You are so much more than your thoughts. Return to your practice and all will be revealed. #mindbodyawareness #riseandshine #livestreamingyoga #yoga #livestreamyogaclasses #onlineyoga #yogaeveryday #yogalove #namaste #yogapractice #yogisofinstagram #yogalife #asana #mindbodygram #practiceyoga #yoganyc #yogaflow #yogateacher #uptownnyc #yogapractice #yogatribe #yogaoffthemat #nycyoga #yogavibes #yogalife #yogahappylife #mindbodysoul #mindbodysoulyoga #meditation #whatmatters2020 See more

How can we consistently stay in alignment with what nourishes us? We know what it's not: pressuring ourselves, guilting ourselves, or telling ourselves that we are not doing enough. What if taking care of yourself began with a simple daily question: "What do I need today?" And then your actions flowed in alignment with that answer.... This is the intention of Alyssa's Nourish Membership. A learning container for.. Comfort (no pressure) Consistency (live 5 days a week 30 minute classes), Community (smiling faces on our zoom room grid!) Connection ( to others and to ourselves). Like a buffet - take only what you need on any particular day. Maybe it is a daily 30-minute live-streamed yoga practice in the morning. Maybe it is a daily 15-minute meditation or breath practice. Maybe it is inspirational talks to help you keep your mindset where you want it. Maybe it is taking two hours a month and immersing yourself in a nourishing practice as you retreat from your daily life. Maybe it's practicing with a yoga video when you can and having the choices that suit your needs (slow, strong, soft, short, long, etc.). No pressure, no guilt. Just you taking care of you in the best way you can on any particular day. We begin January 4th. Only $99/month for the entire buffet.

Consistency Consistency in our practice regulates and strengthens the nervous system, and results in a more relaxed and resilient state. Inner and outer consistency create a strength that is not easily knocked down. But consistency does not need to look like you think it does. It doesn’t have to be huge chunks of time. Reframe consistency so it works with your life. Make cultivating a consistent practice of nourishment feel yummy, not another thing on your to-do list.... Removing expectation and pressure aids in cultivating consistency. Community We are social beings, literally wired for human contact. In these past seven months we have needed to be socially distant from each other in order to keep each other well. Digital connections are forming and filling this need. Being in a community is being connected. When we feel connected, we feel nourished. When we finish class, we are beautiful little faces on a grid, smiling and happy to see each other. Community is what you make it. Comfort Everyone wants to feel that the world will be okay. We want to feel that what we do day to day matters in the micro and the macro fabric of life. We want to feel safe, even when we feel scared. In a society that is addicted to comfort, we do not shy away from discomfort, but we are better able to process and experience this discomfort when we feel supported. When we are in a space of comfort and ease, we can slide more deeply into ourselves. Connection We yearn to feel not only connected to others in deep and in meaningful ways, but we seek those connections to ourselves. The deeper our connection is with who we truly are - beyond labels and roles - the deeper our connection to all beings everywhere. #nourish #mindbodysoul #consistency #community #comfort #connection #yoga #livestreamyoga #yoganyc See more
