Quiet Time




Hi everyone! So my yoga training ended yesterday. It was very bittersweet, as I am eager to sleep later in the mornings, however I am sad to leave such a powerful group of women. The past two weeks have been quite transformative, as I've learned how to teach children's yoga through a lot of exploration into the child within! The program was so engaging and informative... it has totally changed my outlook on children and how to treat them. I also made many strong connections with others on the training. There was such a diverse group of women, yet all so individually inspiring and unique.

My roommates left this morning, as did most of the group. I am staying for some extra time. Today was a day of solitude, as nothing is open on Sundays here in Nosara (really... nothing). I had no choice but to relax and enjoy nature. Some people find it difficult to be alone, however this environment does not allow me to feel alone... the sounds of nature are so prominent and inviting. What would you do if you had an entire day to yourself in nature? Here are some pictures I took while roaming the jungle.

If you are not packing up to go to Costa Rica to get some alone time, do not fret. Sitting quietly with your eyes closed, or simply dedicating ten or twenty minutes per day to be by yourself WITHOUT electronics, is a healthy start to tapping into the energy within.
