✨ WHY I YOGA ✨ This should come as no surprise - i’m a major spazz. I always have been, and probably will always will be! My brain flutters from thought to daydream constantly, and it’s usually a battle for me to stay calm and focused. Enter yoga, a means for me to stay rooted and grounded amidst the vata whirlwind that is #pattibrain. I could go on about the myriad benefits of yoga, but currently my reasons for coming to my mat are mental focus and self-empowerment. ✨ From a consistent yoga practice, I’ve been able to step back from emotion-based reaction and associate conscious breathing with clarifying perspective. It’s a powerful tool to know that you are completely capable of choosing how you respond to the tricky situations life throws at you. ✨ But apart from the mental tranquility, yoga has also helped me develop a deep physical strength. The rhythmic movements make for a flowing physical meditation that simultaneously incorporate a variety of muscle groups that aren’t normally used in conjunction with one another. It encourages me to grow through leaning into to discomfort and pushing past my personal limitations. ✨ I love that my yoga practice is that it is ever evolving and that there will always be a reason to come back to my mat. ✨ What’s your why? ✨ #pattitip #yoga #mindfulness #powerinmovement #yogainstructor #yogafitness #yogafashion #yogamotivation #wellness #mondaymindfulness #yogalooksgood #selflove #personalgrowth #motivation #inspiration #fitnessmotivation #yogafit #stayfit #fitness #fitspiration #fityogi #fitspo #fitnessinspo #stayfit #fitness #move #headstand #inversion #practicedaily #corepoweryoga #yogadaily

SO WRONG 🙅🏻‍♀️ don’t create upper limits for yourself. focusing on fixing my form and getting over that mindset has allowed me to stand taller and stronger 👊🏼 bra / @montielactivewear leggings / @runningbare83 👌🏼 #pattitip #tgiff #powerinmovement new month, new goals 🙌🏻 guys, it’s time to add a little fuel to the fire 🔥 there’s only 3 full months left of 2018! looking forward to finishing this year off strong by adding a couple bite sized goals to the list ⚡️ #pattitip / avoid overwhelm by creating achievable BB goals that contribute to the dream ⚡️here’s a couple of mine this month: * build a daily meditation practice * sleep 6-8 hours every night * finish reading 2 yoga anatomy books I WANNA HEAR YOURS ♥️ 🌜SCHEDULE UPDATE🌛 there’s been a teensy shift to my monday sched mon / 615p YS & 845p C2 wed / 6a C2 sat / 430p YS & 630p C2 @corepoweryoga brea 💪🏼 come sculpt & sweat with me, love & smiles guaranteed 😉 👊🏼 #pattitip #powerinmovement #yogainstructor #yogafitness #corepoweryoga
