Today's #stretchandsmash at @crossfitatlanta was all about smashing, stretching and strengthening the muscles that connect to and control the very mobile shoulder/scapulae joint. We worked on learning the motor control of all those muscle to learn how to properly fix our shoulder blades on our back. If you are interested in this work and using it in recovery and to help improve your performance, check out my upcoming workshop "Sacred Athlete: Stretch Smash and Strengthen" March 11th at @sacredchillwest. Link is in my bio. 📹 by @glissel (Thanks G." #bowflex #blackboyteachyoga #blackboyscoach #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #recovery #mobility #flexibilty #stability #mwod #romwod #suppleleopard #swoleandflexy #buffandbendy #sacredchillwest #SCW #crossfitatlanta #crossfit #eatclean #traindirty (at CrossFit Atlanta)

Posted @withrepost • @octaviaraheem I have a friend who always asks "how are the twins?" when he sees me. The twins being my son Oyetunde and Sacred Chill West. I started the process of opening @sacredchillwest (SCW) when Oye was only 4 months old. One hand/arm would be holding + nursing him. Another hand would be sending an email, creating social posts, or dialing in to a conference call. I lived/planned everything around his every three hour feeding schedule.⁠ ⁠ SCW officially opened when Oye was 6 months old.⁠ ⁠ Looking back, I honestly don't know how I did it. Yet, here I am. Here we are.⁠ ⁠ My Oye is a "big boy". Counts to 100. Spells his name, and asks for grits and pancakes out of his own mouth every morning - ha! He stands on his own two feet... or rather runs through the whole house on his own two feet. He's the kindest, bravest, most insightful three year old I know.⁠ ⁠ So much has shifted in three years for my "other baby" or "the twin" as my friend calls it. At Sacred Chill West I have grown deeper, wiser, more real.⁠ ⁠ I've learned and unlearned. I've gained students/teachers and lost students/teachers.⁠ We've graduated one Yoga Teacher Training class and recently started a second cohort of trainees. We've hosted Teachers who do profound and awakening work in the world and beyond their yoga mats.⁠ ⁠ I've sat on yoga mats, cushions, and our bright yellow sofa in the lobby and had conversations that really matter.⁠ ⁠ I have learned that growth is not linear and requires me to give up my stories, my clinging to limitations, even my own comfort in order for the seeds of my purpose to flourish into their fullest potential. It requires me to take bold action, speak my truth, and give over to grace - what my grit can't push me through.⁠ ⁠ This journey of cultivating a yoga space that is truly welcoming to ALL has been humbling and empowering.⁠ ⁠ I celebrate it all!⁠ ⁠ Please join us in community on TODAY!⁠ ⁠ We ARE hosting * free classes throughout the day in honor of turning THREE!⁠ ⁠ ***Registration required and most classes are almost full!⁠ Link to register in bio. ⁠ I can't wait to celebrate with you! https://www.instagram.com/p/B3R9Kz3gYp3/?igshid=1dj9e273mvls3

... from @octaviaraheem - "Be here now.... Be HER now." @lux_atl Long before I co-owned @sacredchillwest, I owned my work. I operated with the level of discipline, focus, commitment, care, and consistency that I believed owning a brick and mortar space would require. I was off by a lot (owning a physical space asks for more than I could have imagined) yet the inner muscles I stretched and strengthened then, expanded my capacity to both “hold down” & elevate my work- now. I honor the wise part of me that knew that the kind of freedom I wanted required discipline. I treated myself like the woman I hoped to be and I grew into her. I treat myself like the woman I am becoming. I grow into her. Being her now is So much inner work. Radical truth telling. Re-shaping my most intimate relationships. Defining my place vs. playing the role I was given. It’s not letting myself off the hook when it’s hard. It’s laying down in soft places and praying deeper than I ever have. It’s standing & walking through the fire until I see the blessing (tapas). It’s ugly crying to release the heat and cleanse. It’s bearing the gifts that my Ancestors gave without shame or apology. It’s trusting that what I’ve seen in my heart and mind’s eye is mine. It’s the smallest of steps and decisions I make every day- to be her now. Sister, Trust her enough to do your work, now. Honor her by tending to the details and process in the choices you make each day, right now. Let the distractions go. No one else has read your book. She has. Every day that you ink, you become the master of her story. No one has healed in your wellness space, yet. Every day that you save, plan, and study, she does. No one has walked the gardens you tend to. With every seed that you dig and plant- your bare feet become more deeply rooted on her true path. No one has held the baby you long to carry. Mama, she has. with every layer of womb wound you peel back. She holds baby. No one has heard the songs you write except for her. With each note and lyric you lay down, there’s another track to carry her forward. Every step & stumble, you become more of her. More of your whole self. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzIdiwMlBFh/?igshid=1lvop7c7pn6hu

New 2020 Classes! I can’t wait to teach in new ways and spaces this year. 2019 was a time of exploration into myself and more ancient tools for finding balance in this body. Reflection on my journey reveals the pure joy I feel when I am sharing in this transformative practice with you. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to become apart of the teaching team and to bring a new Rest to Restore class at @solsticeyogabarre! Join us each Wednesday night to reset your week starting next week at 6:45pm. I’m full of gratitude as I come up on 2 years of being a part of the @sacredchillwest community where I planted seeds, where they were watered by your support to help me root and grow. Join me for my first evening Yin Flow class beginning this Thursday at 6:15pm and a new Meditation class starting this Friday at 12 noon. Happy New You!!!

For the past 2 months I have had the honor through @sacredchillwest to be the yoga instructor for the North Atlanta High School Swim Team🏊🏽🏊🏻‍♀️. These four are a small part of a bigger group that makes up the team, but are the four that made it to the state level competition on Friday. Today was our last session together. If I am honest with myself, today was a tough day for me.....like exhausted, just trying to get through the day, thought about quitting kind of tough. Before starting the class one of the athletes said: "I just want you to know that I do that stretch that you taught us (Ardha Hanumunasa aka Runners Hamstring Stretch) every day, like religious". That put this biggest smile on my face and took my emotional and physical gas tank from empty all the way to full. At the end of the class, after "svasana" he was late to sit up. Then he says "wow, like I was really asleep. You put me all the way to sleep." Probably the best compliment you could give a yoga teacher. That gave me just enough to make it through the rest of the day and these last 2 CrossFit classes I have to teach. It's crazy how in the darkest hours God/Universe sends you a glimmer of light💡🕯🔦 to keep you going. The athlete and light in me bows deeply to the athlete and light in you all. Kill it at state on Friday. #namaste🙏🏾 #bowflex #blackboysteachyoga #yoga #yogaeverdamnday #yogaforathletes #sacredathlete #sacredchillwest #SCW #NAHS #mobility #flexibility #stretching (at North Atlanta High School)

"The intentions of a tool are what it does. A hammer intends to strike, a vise intends to hold fast, a lever intends to lift. They are what it is made for. But sometimes a tool may have other uses that you don't know." Please join me @sacredchillwest on March 11 for my workshop "Sacred Athlete: Stretch. Smash. Strengthen" where we will use tools like balls, blocks, blankets and bolster in ways that you many not be use to, to facilitate an exploration of our body as well as improve range of motion and flexibility of tight muscles. Link for more details and to register is in my bio. #bowflex #blackboysdoyoga #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #sacredathlete #stretchandsmash #sacredchillwest #SCW #buffandbendy #swoleandflexy #stretching #flexibility #mobility #lululemon #lululemonmen @lululemonmen #lululemonHoMi #joblove (at Sacred Chill West)

#Repost @sacredchillwest with @repostapp ・・・ Our theme for the month is EHIPASSIKO and today's reflection ob that theme is from @richard_rhucasey81 "The MIND is where theory comfortably resides; the BODY(on the mat) and in LIFE (off the mat) is where KNOWLEDGE is applied, becomes real and turns into WISDOM.The difference between knowledge and wisdom is EXPERIENCE and UNDERSTANDING. I have always worked hard to legitimize myself through the acquisition of knowledge. Let me read one more book, take one more class, sign up for one more workshop, complete one more certification. The acquisition of knowledge is a noble thing, but like the good book says " Get WISDOM, but in all your getting, get UNDERSTANDING." (Proverbs 4:7). "Knowledge is only a RUMOR until it lives in the muscle."(New Guinea Proverb) So we have to take it out of the safe and protected space of the mind and put it into ACTION on the mat in the bones and muscles of our BODIES and off the mat in circumstances and experiences of our LIVES. So yoga encourages us- EHIPASSIKO: Come and see- Practice and experience for yourself." #bowflex #XCessiveGenius #blackboysdoyoga #blackboyateachyoga #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #buffandbendy #swoleandflexy #sacredchillwest #SCW #stretch #flexibility #mobility #joblove (at Sacred Chill West)

In physics, Newton's 3rd Law says "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." In Alignment based #yoga we call it "Balanced Action". My mother always told me, "Too much of anything, even a good thing, can become a bad thing". Science, yoga and my mama....the three major resources and references in my life. I'm a Libra ♎️so my whole life's endeavor has been about finding balance. There are always two forces or energies at play...the yin/yang ☯️, inhale/exhale, masculine/feminine 🚻, discipline/freedom, strength/flexibility. In yoga it's about ENGAEMENT/EXPANSION, EFFORT/EASE, MUSCULAR/ORGANIC ENERGY. Balanced Action creates and optimal amount of both STABILITY and FREEDOM of movement in the body so energy can flow freely. Off the mat, Balanced actions in our life helps us to move and express ourselves freely and safely as we flow through life. Thank you to the 4 ladies that joined me this morning at my 9:30 am SLOW Flow class at @sacredthreadyoga O4W. One lady left the class saying "Wow, that felt like a workshop. You should really think about doing a workshop!" I receive that planted seed sistren. 3 more opportunities to practice with me this week.
