The musings of Miami Beach based yoga instructor and yoga and lifestyle blogger Amy (Steiner) Dannheim.

ugh. today felt clunky. unaligned. nothing seemed to go smoothly. i didn’t get to do most of the things i intended to get done. i didn’t even get charlie out of the house today. and upon reflecting, i realized i let the day start without an intention. every day is a dance with the universe - she holds the energy and our work is to be present and aligned to channel it 💫 tomorrow is new day and i’m setting my intention and saying my gratefuls before i get out of bed and pick up my phone in the morning. #yoga #yogalife #love

stretching into a fresh week... positive thoughts, patience with myself and empathy are my intentions this week 💓 how about you? #yogalife

we’re just here for the poses... and the posse 🙌🏼 so in love with our saturday morning yoga community here in miami beach 🖤💙🖤❤️ and with @arlenetime’s mural 👁⚡️ #yoga #yogalife

looking towards the weekend like 👀🙌🏼 get it started on the mat today 4:30pm at el trop⚡️#yoga #yogalife #yogateacher #tropicalvinyasa #love

10 months! as everyone predicted: the days are long but the months have been short. charlie loves running all over the place, babbling, being in the pool, dancing to music (favorite songs: wheels on the bus and la vaca lola) and banging things together to make noise 🥁 she also is an expert at waking up early, taking the batteries out of the remote and locking me out of my iphone. but i’m always still so grateful to have this experience 👼🏼💕 #love #babygirl #yogababy #yogamom

why do you practice?
.
for the mind? the body? the journey to spiritual enlightenment?
.
all of them are awesome reasons to get on your mat. it doesn’t matter what gets you in the door, because no matter what you came for, you reap all of the rewards. my first real class was a 2005 bikram experience where i rolled in wearing a t-shirt and sweat pants drinking a lipton iced green tea. i didn’t get judged for why i was there and i left feeling like i died, and was born again. i did yoga for years for the workout, not even realizing the spiritual aspects. the effort is the benefit, and the rest will sink in whether you understand it now or not. so however, wherever, why-ever you’re practicing, go you 👏🏼 #yogalife

don’t be afraid to share yourself with the world 💫 the times i’ve connected most deeply is when i’ve allowed myself to be seen, whether in my struggles or in my joy. vulnerably. because that’s when the light can come in. #yogalife #love #joy
