Amy Dannheim

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

🐒 we arrived a few days early to drop into the rhythm of the simple life - fresh food, jungle sounds, beach life and 5am sunrises... all balanced with lots of strong coffee ☕️ feeling at home already - can’t wait for our retreat! 💚 #yogamom #explore #family #nosara #costarica #travel #yogafam #love

charlie and i both had a restless night. i couldn’t stop thinking through all the game of thrones possibilities (jon knows! bran and jaime! was that the taergaryan sigil??) and charlie was very concerned about what mike and my sister’s cats were doing at 3am 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
the thoughts will always come. the work of the yogi is to practice discernment or viveka - distinguishing the real from the unreal. the idea is to keep ourselves from getting lost in the noise of the mind. for us last night, that involved physical contact, deep belly breathing and focusing on the present experience (“mommy is here with you, see - we are snuggling together right now.”)⁣
⁣
other times, the way to discernment might be moving our bodies, spending quiet time in nature or⁣ meditating in our own personal way. however we get there, presence is always the gift - because that’s where the truth lives 💖 #yoga #yogamom ⁣#love

i haven’t posted in a while. pretty pictures have taken a backseat to my recent life - which has been a blur of swimming lessons, laundry, yoga business, peppa pig requests and the far too frequent “there is nothing to eat in this house!”⁣
⁣
it’s true. i’m terrible at grocery shopping for a family - our fridge is generally pretty empty. but you know what’s full? our hearts. in the midst of everything, charlie turned a year and a half old and i don’t think we could love her more.⁣
⁣
and in loving her, mike and i are both learning how to love ourselves and each other in a new way. a purer, more honest way. as charlie’s pediatrician says, “children come to heal the family.” and right she is. 💖 #love #yogamom #babygirl ⁣#growth #parenting

better together 💕 charlie has spent a good part of her little life at the yoga studio. she can say mat and block, she obvi loves to show off her down dog when asked and she hands out towels before classes. she knows her way around palo santo and sound bowls and will even OM with us 💓 exposure without pressure. ⁣
⁣
now, actually *doing* yoga with a toddler is definitely a challenge (hell, keeping a sane mind with a toddler is a challenge) but i put together some simple bedtime poses you can share together for @gryphandivyrose - check it out on their blog! patience and an open mind is the key... kinda like with everything ✨
