ROOTS. 🌳❤️ In yoga, the Muladhara, or Root Chakra, represents our foundation—our sense of belonging, stability, ancestry, and connection to the earth beneath our feet. 👣 This journey has become so much more than travel. ✈️ It’s been an opportunity to reconnect with my family’s origins… walking the streets of Bangkok’s Chinatown where my father and his siblings grew up, listening to stories that have shaped generations, and experiencing it all alongside my 92-year-old dad. (He came to the US in 1954, at age 18 to attend college. Met my Korean mom… ⏩ and HERE and NOW we are.) ❤️ There is something profoundly grounding about standing where your family’s story began. Where do your roots reach back to? 🙏🏼 As I continue to deepen my yoga practice while traveling, I’m reminded that growth doesn’t only come from reaching upward—it also comes from honoring what lies beneath us. Our roots nourish us. They remind us who we are, where we’ve come from, and how those who came before us continue to live through us. ❤️🙏🇹🇭 #Muladhara #RootChakra #FamilyRoots #hereandnowyoga #mindfultravel 😌

✈️ My kids and I just arrived in Thailand from Korea. Small setback. Have to wait around at airport for a bit… How best can I react to a difficult situation? With presence, with mindfulness. Making lemonade out of lemons. 🍋 and yoga always helps. 😌😊🧘🏻‍♀️👋🏼🇹🇭 The sweetest moments often aren’t found in perfect circumstances—they’re created by the way we choose to live this moment. 🙏🏼The place is here. The time is now. #HereAndNowYoga #sawadika #makelemonade #mindfulness #hellothailand ✈️🇹🇭🙏🏼 📷: @mayorii7

🌕 What business do 13 women have getting together on a full moon? Apparently… learning to play Mahjong. 🀄 Our inaugural GAME NIGHT at Here and Now Yoga, Wellness & Arts Collective was such a fun evening of learning, laughter, and good company. It was wonderful to see everyone trying something new, and enjoying time together. 😃 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out, and especially to Anne Soviero, Jessica Alfonsi, and Michelle Liu for generously volunteering their time and sharing their knowledge with us. We truly appreciate you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 For those who were on the waitlist, we’ve already set the next date: 🀄 Sunday, July 26 🕟 4:30 PM Space is limited due to gameplay, so be sure to sign up early if you’d like to join us. 🎲 Sometimes community is built through movement. Sometimes it’s built around a table. We’re grateful to have room for both.👍🏼 #MahjongNight #GameNight #HereAndNowYoga #FloralPark #learnsomethingnew 🎲⭐️👏🏼

🪷 Yoga Niyama 1: SAUCHA (Purity / Cleanliness) 💦 What is something you can release to make room for something better? Add yours in the comments and share/tag someone who needs to “clean house” of thoughts, energy. 🙂 Saucha is about creating cleanliness in both body and mind. 🌱 Maybe that means: 🧘🏻‍♂️ Rolling out your yoga mat (and cleaning it!) 🥙 Choosing nourishing foods. 🚶🏻‍♀️ Taking a walk instead of scrolling. 😌 Letting go of negative self-talk. 🏠 Decluttering a corner of your home… or your mind. 🫧🫧🫧 When we clear away what no longer serves us, we create room for more energy, more peace, and more joy. 🧹🧼 Yoga reminds us that true cleanliness isn’t just what we see on the outside—it’s also the thoughts we cultivate, the words we speak, and the way we care for ourselves and others. ♥️ What is something you can release to make room for something better?
