Such a treat to gather with other holistic birth professionals last night, sit in community, to see and hear each other and learn more about the spiritual path of mothering from @anasuyahealer. Thank you @lunawellness.pdx for hosting and organizing. 💗💗💗 It definitely takes me out of my comfort zone, but I have been enjoying the shift to focusing on more in person connections. 🌱 #holisticbirth #yogawaytobirth #spiritualmotherhood #community #motherhoodrising #thefutureisfeminine #wildfeminine #divinefeminine #radwoman

Sometimes I still do “yoga”. 😂😜💗 It has been interesting to watch this page evolve over the last 3 years. Seeing how it’s shifted and also I have grown. Less yoga asana, more yoga living... feeling more shifts and growth coming too. 🌱🔥 ::: Also, this side plank it’s surprisingly challenging. I taught in my prenatal class this weekend. 🌟 start in a low lunge, front foot wide to outer edge of your mat, opposite hand on a block. 🌟 lift the back knee, begin to walk the front foot further to the side and open the top arm into a supported side plank. 🌟 bonus challenge: try to lift or hover that front leg off the ground. 🔥 (I could only move “as if” I was going to lift that leg, I could not get it to take flight) • • • • • #yogamama #yogamom #mindfulmamas #tribedemama #motherhoodrising #birthofamama #yogaeverydamnday #practiceandalliscoming #thisismyyoga #yogalife #yogalove #mindfulmovement #mindfullife #yogainpdx #yoga #momlife #prenatalyoga #yogaliving #kiragrace #yogapearl #yogatips #restoreyourcore #onestrongmama

“Labor is one contraction. It just happens over and over again.” ~Tina Lilly ::: There is still space for a few more couples to join myself and Claire Wilde for our upcoming Yoga Way to Birth class. We cover all the normal topics you’d receive in any other childbirth class, but through the lens of yoga philosophy and mindfulness practices. Please be in touch or share with anyone you think may be interested. 🌸🌀💗 • • • • #yogawaytobirth #laborloveandliberation #pregnancy #yogalove #yoga #yogainpdx #portland #portlandbirth #oregonbirthconnection #childbirth #childbirtheducation #birthwithoutfear #mindfulbirth #mindfulness #birth #birthpartner #empoweredbirthproject #meditation #yogaforbirth #birthofamama #birthofafamily #tribedemama #prenatalyoga #portland #birthinspiration #childbirtheducator #svadhyaya

#mondaymantra 📷: @alex_elle Isn’t this the truth? Often hard to see in the moment of the struggle, but sometimes in hindsight we are able to see how strong we really are. ❤️ ::: The first year I applied to social work grad school, I did not get accepted. It devastated me. But it also revealed that this was the path I really wanted to be on, so I took the feedback, got more experience in the social work field, and then reapplied the next year...and was waitlisted. 😳 But I still didn’t give up and ended up advocating and talking with admissions and made my way off the waiting list 2 weeks before school started. 🙌 Looking back I’m amazed that I didn’t just throw in the towel, but grateful I kept going. And because I had so many obstacles to become a social worker, it reminds me what a privilege it is to be in this field. ::: What is a struggle you have been grateful for because it revealed your strengths? 🌱 #alexelle #inspiration #socialworker #socialwork #strength #resilience #struggle #worthit #yogamama #mindfulmama #thisismyyoga

{sound on} 💖 that’s the way I love you 💖 What a delight to lead prenatal yoga and song healing with this amazing human, Andrea, of @_heart_song_. Singing is breathing. 💖 Her sweet voice and music wrapped everyone in the room in sweet nurturing sounds of love. I’m so grateful to have made the connection through @ashleygartland and that Andrea shared her vision with me for this class. In a world of endless opportunities and directions, it’s hard to know what to say “yes” to, but I’m so glad I said yes to this one. • • • • • #yogamama #yogamom #mindfulmamas #tribedemama #motherhoodrising #birthofamama #yogaeverydamnday #practiceandalliscoming #thisismyyoga #yogalife #yogalove #mindfulmovement #mindfullife #yogainpdx #yoga #momlife #prenatalyoga #songhealing #blessingway #pregnancy #pregnant #wildfeminine #shaktirising #yogapearl #savasana #heartsong #restorativeyoga #birthwithoutfear #musicheals #healingmusic

Suicide; With the deaths by suicide of two prominent figures and my mission to share more about mental health here, I thought I’d share a few of my reflections on suicide. ✨ Suicide is something I talk about every day at work as a social worker. ✨ Thoughts of suicide are common with many mental health problems or even with just big changes or increased life stressors, but most assume they are not, therefore there is shame and embarrassment with these thoughts. And you can have suicidal thoughts and still have multiple reasons to live. ✨ I see my role, as a mental health professional as someone who opens these “taboo” conversations, gives space to “wade into the muck” and air some of these dark thoughts and therefore *hopefully* diffuse them, and lastly plan for safety. ✨ From the outside we can see how suicidal thoughts are a “lie”, but if we try to express that to someone feeling suicidal, it could feel discounting of their feelings and cause them to shut down further. ✨ If you are not a mental health provider, you do not have to do that. But you can help someone by just listening, or offering to call a crisis line with them. ✨ Most importantly if you have thoughts of suicide, there is help and support. You are not alone. If you’re local in Portland, the multnomah county crisis line is 503-988-4888 or nationally you can call 800-273-8255. #suicideprevention #suicideawareness #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #socialworker #socialwork #hope #bekind #yogamama #mindfulmama #thereishope
