Instagram post 18107949475752723 Most of yoga doesn’t look like yoga. It looks like pausing instead of reacting. It looks like telling the truth. It looks like honoring your limits. The mat is practice. Life is where it counts. . . . . #yogabeyondthemat #yogaphilosophy #thepractice #yogalife #yogateacherlife mindfulliving consciousliving spiritualpractice innerwork yogajourney

Instagram post 17966628096009363 Some highlights from our Luxury Yoga Retreat & Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Morocco ✨ This was our 7th time hosting this experience—and somehow, it continues to deepen and evolve every single year. Sisterhood. Laughter. Tears. Nourishing food. Love. Coming together. Expansion. Growth. These are just a few words that come to mind when looking at @worldsessed photos from last year’s retreat. 1. Our last yoga class together - yin & uke 2. Seeing Andy for the first time since she took her 200hr YTT with us in Nicaragua 3 years earlier! 3-7. Our STUNNING private yoga retreat center. It sits on 8 acres and is an olive grove. They still make their own olive oil every year. 8. Our first yoga practice together: the golden seed 9. Tea parties. Always. 10. @hatti.williams the best co-host and collaborator I could ever ask for! This is Hatti leading an evening candle lit sound healing. She’s soothing, calming, loving and my rock during these programs. 11. Soul things 12. More yoga. Duh 13 Getting ready for a night on the town 14-19. Our very special final night celebration These memories will live a lifetime in my heart. If you’re curious about our annual retreat or yin yoga teacher training in Marrakech, Morocco just comment “Morocco “ on this post and we’ll send you the info! (The first message is automated so nothing gets lost — then we’ll meet you in the DMs 🤍) . . . . . #YogaAcademyInternational #LuxuryYogaRetreat #YogaRetreatMorocco #MarrakechRetreat #YinYogaTeacherTraining YinYoga YogaTeacherTraining GlobalYogaCommunity InternationalYoga SacredTravel SoulfulLiving RetreatLife WomenInWellness ConsciousCommunity MindfulTravel WellnessRetreat YogaSisterhood EmbodiedPractice SlowDown IntentionalLiving

Instagram post 17872175058531677 Let’s talk chakras. Somewhere along the way, they turned into something that felt more aesthetic than embodied. More about how it looks than how it actually feels. You don’t need to sit in lotus, burn incense, or “activate your third eye” to understand your energy body. The chakra system is ancient and thoughtful and honestly… often misunderstood. In this post, we’re unpacking a few common chakra myths so you can approach the practice with curiosity instead of confusion. Whether you’re teaching, learning, or just quietly interested, this is an invitation to slow down and go a little deeper. No fluff. Just clarity. Swipe to learn and maybe unlearn a few things along the way. Comment CHAKRAS to join us for our chakra training and retreat 🥰 . . . . . #chakras #yogaphilosophy #energybody #chakrawisdom #teachyoga yogateachers yogastudents mindbodysoul yogatraining yogaeducation spiritualcuriosity

Instagram post 17858912424533805 Back in 2016, @laurenrudick started Yoga Academy International. The first goal was to raise the standard by which yoga teachers were educated. The second- bring people into stunning spaces surrounded by nature where all of their basic needs were provided for so they could work on themselves. She dreamed of taking people out of their heads and into their hearts. She invited people on a 28-day journey where they could live by the beach, practice yoga daily and be part of an inclusive community of like-minded travellers. It worked! People from all over the world (and we really mean all over. 6 continents so far) have said YES to taking a yoga journey with us. 10 years ago, @yogaacademyinternational was born. A global community. A place to learn, practice, explore the world, and connect with other humans. 10 years later, that mission has taken us to Morocco, Mexico, Portugal, Iceland, Bermuda, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Canada, and beyond with thousands of students, alumni, and teachers who are part of the story now. . . . . #yogaretreat #wellnesstravel #retreatlife #retreatvibes #yogatravel #travelandwellness #retreatyourself #globalretreats #travel2026 #bucketlisttravel #womenwhotravel #femaletravelers #holistictravel #conscioustravel #since2016

Instagram post 17975304254967994 Yoga works when you show up — messy, stiff, distracted, tired, curious, or unsure. It works when you modify. It works when you rest. It works when you breathe. It works when you don’t “do it right.” Yoga isn’t about performance. It’s about connection, regulation, strength, and awareness. Exactly as you are. Still counts 🧘‍♀️ #yogaforeverybody #yogaisforall #movementnotperfection #beginneryoga #yogapractice
