people say that what you do matters more than what you think. but the truth is, your thoughts matter. because every action begins with a thought. and any thought can become your reality. ✨💙✨ ps. playing around in this new hollowback variation (with the knees bent) felt so much more challenging than keeping the legs straight. 😅

Counterposes.. (a new Blog post!) 🎉 So much of the time we focus on what poses we need to work on BEFORE entering a posture - for example we might practice plank or Dolphin pose before moving into a headstand. But what about what we do AFTER we leave the posture? 🤷‍♀️ In yoga we call this a counterpose. Counterposes are important because they help us re-balance our body & neutralize our spine - PLUS they feel really good. 🙌🏼 - One of my favorite counterposes to practice after a headstand is called Rabbit Pose (shown here). It’s a gentle stretch for the neck & back, and I love how refreshed and open I feel afterwards. 👌🏼 For step-by-step instructions on how to get into Rabbit pose AND for 3 more of my favorite counterposes, check out my new Blog post at www.RivaGYoga.com/blog - or click the link in my bio! 😍 Tag a friend who would find this helpful, & let me know if you want me to keep sharing more of these tips & tutorials! ❤️ Happy practicing! 😍 ps.

Skylines and stretches and sunsets over my favorite city 💙 Where do you live and what is at the top of your bucket list of places to visit? I live just outside of NYC and I really hope to visit India, Japan, and Morocco! 😍 Wishing you all the most wonderful weekend! 💙 ps. If you zoom in you can see the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and some very cool street art on an apartment complex to my right! #nyclove

Last week, after walking around the bookstore for over 20 minutes without being able to choose anything, I did what any indecisive reader would do - I posted to my stories asking for help... 😹📚🙈 - Not only did so many of you quickly & kindly respond with messages suggesting your current reads & personal favorites, but there were also quite a few of you asking me to share all of the great book recommendations being sent my way. 🙌🏼 - So I thought it would be fun - and only fair to post them here, that way we’ll all have this list to reference. Also, if you have a great recommendation of your own to add, please comment below with the title and/or author, because the more books, the better. 😍📚🤓 - ps. I ended up buying ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck’ by Mark Manson which I’m really loving so far.. 👌🏼 pps. The list below is in alphabetical order, I have NOT personally read most of these, I’m just sharing as much of what was sent as I could. 😊 PC: @sfreneenyc - A Constellation of Vital Phenomena A Gentleman in Moscow A Man Called Ove A Tree Grows in Brooklyn All the Light We Cannot See Big Magic Born to Run Boy in the Striped Pajamas Daring Greatly East of Eden Eat, Pray, Love Let’s Pretend This Never Happened Lilac Girls Marlena My Grandmother Asked me to Tell You She’s Sorry Navigating Life Pachinko Power of Now Red Mars Shape of Water Small Great Things The Alchemist The German Girl The Gifts of Imperfection The Girl on the Train The Help The Kiterunner The Mountains Echoed The Nightingale The Rhythm of Life Tools of Titans Way of the Peaceful Warrior
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them. ❤️ ~ Ernest Hemingway Floating & balancing with @tditty2 - the float can only happen when each partner fully trusts the other 👌🏼 ps. let me know if you guys want to see the video of how we get into this cool counterbalancing pose! 😍 #balance #counterbalance #trust #sistertime #partneryoga PC: @sfreneenyc
I’d rather scale walls than climb corporate ladders. I’d rather chase my dreams than follow all of their rules. ✨💙✨ pc: @ljbnyc1
When you can’t quite get your bum to reach your own head.. only a sister would step in to help you out... 😂 Haha, I don’t think we’ve ever have a yoga session where we aren’t constantly laughing at ourselves and just having the best time together. 💙 Love our acro play time & making shapes with you, @tditty2 #sisteryoga pc: @sfreneenyc at @skytingyoga
