As a yoga teacher, I consider breath cycles “the tides of the body”. Are you taking full deep breaths? If not, drop your shoulders, lengthen your inhales and exhales. Lmk how you feel!

Over-fishing contributes to changing ocean temperatures. Innocent sea life, edible fish are often depleted to dangerous levels, destroying ecological balances. If you have thoughts on this topic, please share. #TheAquamarineSurfboard https://t.co/H4rkndm5Km#YAAuthorTakeover pic.twitter.com/K56yRwBVLU

The Aquamarine Surfboard is an ocean adventure, mystery and a romance. A theme at its heart is creative community building, hanging out with people who seem different AT FIRST, though later turn out to be the same.https://t.co/H4rkndm5Km#YAAuthorTakeover @AbernathyKellye pic.twitter.com/qLKdOYpVAF
