Imagine a whole generation that can look inside themselves with love and compassion, to find peace. How different our world would be? ‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️

How old were you when you first stared yoga? Or do you want to start? When I was 14, my mom forced me to come home early 3x a week from basketball to practice. I hated it, thought it was both foolish and embarrassing, as well as bummed that I was not with my friends. THANK YOU MOM!! After only a few month my rebellious teenage self started to see the benefits and actually began to look forward to doing it, but mostly because I was way better than all my brothers and could rub it in their faces . . Fast forward to college and I realized my yoga was actually something girls were into. Score I did it on and off until I got a steady girlfriend then abandoned it. . . However, right before I graduated college, at the peak of my inflexibility (both mentally and physically), my mom again saved the day and sent me a video of a young Yogini doing some powerful armabalances. This is when my life changed forever. I saw someone who could be impressively strong and flexible. I was inspired. . . After college, I started doing yoga 1-4x per day for the physical benefits and ended up tearing and hamstring and rotator cuff. This coincided with the darkest time of my life, which led me to the 8 limbs of yoga, and showed me yoga as a way of life, not a physical practice. I am forever grateful for this dark and painful place I entered because it showed me more light and grace than even before. . . I ended up doing my yoga teacher training and falling in love with AcroYoga, which I also got my teacher training in. I now travel the world with my beautiful wife @miz.liz @maxandlizacro teaching workshops, retreats, and festivals, with an emphasis on anatomy and hand-balancing. . . Yoga has changed my stressed, anxious, reactive and aggressive life into one of calmness, where I can choose my response to whatever life throws at me. This is something that the younger generation would definitely benefit from and why I love that today, @aloyoga is launching #alogives - where they are providing FREE yoga classes for students in classrooms, with millions already being helped. I am so stoked for all the good they are doing in the world right now - link in my stories to learn more!

✨Happy Friday ✨Everything you go through helps you grow. Pay attention to the lesson. #MommyAndMeYoga

I was 9 when I was first introduced to yoga through a VHS tape. But then a few years later in my children’s theatre group when I was 13, I learned enough yoga to do a few things on my own at home. I basically knew sun salutations and goddess pose, but that was enough to get me started. Then in college I took yoga classes at the gym. I learned that there was wayyyy more than just sun salutations - and that my chaturanga was totally all wrong . ⠀ ⠀ Remember how old you were when you started doing yoga? How would your life be different if you started yoga at an earlier age?⠀ ⠀ I am so excited that #AloGives is finally here. This free 12 week course gives children skills that will shape who they become. Giving children the skills to move and breathe helps them learn to quiet their minds, mute negativity, amplify the positive, focus on learning in a clear-headed way and find calm in the midst of challenge, fear or frustration. These are powerful life-altering skills! I can’t wait to see how this shapes the future! ⠀ ⠀ #aloyoga @aloyoga #yogaforkids #kidsyoga #yogaforeveryone #dailyyoga #meditation #meditationforkids #yogaforeverybody #yogalove #yogalover #yogagirl #iamayogagirl

How old were you when you first found yoga? The first yoga class I wandered into was at the age of 17. I randomly followed a plethora of beautiful, thin women walking into a studio. I walked in completely lost, anorexic, full of anger and self-hate, with shallow hopes of achieving a more feminine look. I signed up for a trial week and vividly remember that moment in class where everything changed: I was in a seated forward fold (#paschimottanasana) when I suddenly felt a rush of emotions…I remember crying and not understanding why, but allowing the wave of emotions to run through as though it was deep soul cleaning. I walked out transformed and brought the practice home with me - a mental and physical connection that later transformed into a spiritual awakening. My first introduction to yoga was a humble one (I didn’t know what crow pose or headstand was), teaching me to simply connect with myself, to observe the thoughts in my mind. It wasn’t until age 26 that I started to engage with a more physical practice, learning just how much empowerment and fearlessness resided within myself. Finding out that the ‘impossible’ was in fact possible waiting to happen. :::: I often wondered what my life would have looked like if I had found yoga earlier. Would my body not hold the scars it holds today from self-inflicted harm? Would my esophagus and GI system not be damaged from years of anorexia? Would I not have wasted so many years separating myself from my family? All I know is Yoga changed my life, and I am grateful for having wandered into that first class lost just to be found. :::: To help bring yoga to the world is an opportunity I’ll gladly take anytime. Which is why I’m so excited to share this program by @aloyoga #alogives - a nonprofit foundation dedicated to bringing movement and mindfulness to kids of all ages. Giving children the skills to move and breathe helps them learn to quiet their minds, mute negativity, amplify the positive, focus on learning in a clear-headed way and find calm in the midst of challenge, fear or frustration.

Downward facing dog and, of course, we had to stack ours. My 13 year old is so much taller than me now (he’s almost 5’11), so this is getting more challenging and there is so much laughter while we try to arrange ourselves . Day 2 #alogiveschallenge is down dog. Hosts: @yoga_mami @summerperez @_monette @alissayoga @yogoskenz @hollybentley_yoga @bohemian_heart Sponsors: @aloyoga @alo.moves
