naked painting livestreams this week!!
*Check your DMS first for replays.*
I've just started creating a series of sunrise paintings!! I'm writing a word in the waves...a different word for each painting in the series. This first painting has "LOVE" in the waves and "LIGHT" in the sky. I’ve been waking up before the sun everyday for two weeks, waiting there, standing patiently until it rises from the sea. It’s a sacred moment in my day and now, unsurprisingly, this moment is working its way through my subconscious onto the canvas. I’ve got a big roll of canvas and heavy bag of paint tubes to work through this month. Let’s go!

★ this song is one I wrote: "Like a Bird I've Flown Away" You can listen to it on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/0wpdDUb2nfTdGY4fxM9yyl?si=0f48a53d88d048f4
Everybody tells me I’m sooo fluid when they see me move in yoga. So let me try and explain how. This may take a few attempts to translate movement and what I experience in my body into words to share with you. Here’s a little workshop on “Fluid Flow” on my YouTube channel for ya …

ENJOY YOUR MOMENT • your creative process is a beautiful experience worth loving. Making art, doing your work in this world, creating your life…it’s not so much about the final product as it is about the process of being engaged in the act of creation. Being creative is the journey we get to enjoy as humans. You are creative. We are all creative. Humans are inherently creative. What are you creating in this very moment? Inhale. Exhale. Peaceful feelings. Kind thoughts. Beautiful visions. Loving words. Share in the comments… what have you created today? What didn’t exist before you made it today? 💕🌴🌈
I’m in the jungle this week — (TERRIBLE internet in these trees!) 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴 I’m here to socialize with the yoga and music community and get some real workouts in at the big gym. I’m producing music and taking baby steps in my novel…honestly I just needed a few weeks off from the novel so I’m dedicating the month of July to refreshing activities. The plan is to get back to deeper writing in August. For now, in the heart of summer dry season, I’m flowing around with an open heart and moving my body!!!
I’m so happy to be teaching yoga online for you guys! I’m so happy to be sharing my music and writing process with you. I’m so grateful to bring you on this journey and learn together…how do we make living life more fun?
Welcome to those of you who are new here!! I love to do livestreams and answer messages throughout the week…. The jungle internet seriously prevents me from being online haha so patience please this week. Thinking of you all!!
💕💕🌴💕🌈💕🌴💕🌴

I found another gorgeous yoga studio to play in!!!! And I got to take a class and be a student in person with a good teacher!!!!! Yayayay!!!!!!!
I took a kundalini yin class. Intense breathing to direct the energy of the body upwards through the chakras and then deep stretching. I’ve been digging deeper into kundalini readings lately so I was thrilled to find a class to learn more with breathing bodies around me!! Such a treat and the tropical wind was blowing through so gentle! Roosters were crowing!
If you can, get yourself to an in-person class. If you’re ever in Gili Air, go to this place … “Flowers and Fire Yoga”
🌈✌🏼🍍 love, cha
📝 Sunday Sneak Peek Snippet from my Writing…
“I was a good teenager. I didn’t rebel or reck havoc. I just left. Maybe I broke hearts on my way out. How would I know for sure what damage I left in my wake? We don’t talk about emotions like that in my family.
I love my feelings. I deal with them all but not in front of my family. I tried a few times. It didn’t go well. It ended in my frustrated tears being hastily mopped up by my mothers almost awakened hands. She wanted the tears to stop making her uncomfortable.
Let me cry. I told her my tears meant I’d dug deep enough inside myself that I’d struck gold. Golden insight. Golden truth. Let the tears flow! After that, she let me cry in front of her but I still felt her discomfort when my emotion poured out of my eyes. I wonder if she felt helpless. She only wanted me to be happy.”

yoga play on the beach at sunset ☀️🌈 I take a bunch quickly without overthinking it and pick the best one for a cover photo. Photographers call it “shoot and pray” or “spray shooting” … sharing the whole batch with you guys 😘✌🏼🧜🏼♀️ and the book I’m reading with my dinner is the hobbit hehe — so out of place here in the tropics
all the selfies I took for the cover photo thumbnail for the leg focused YouTube livestream yesterday ✌🏼 sharing all of them with you guys. Which is your favorite?
why am I doing silent yoga flow livestreams on YouTube? 🧜🏼♀️🌈 what are YOUR thoughts about the silence livestreams? How do they impact you? What do they allow or create?
no livestream today because I’m resting myself. I’m reading The Hobbit beside the pool. And I got a new bikini 🌈✌🏼☀️ rest is top important ingredient for good living. The more I rest, the more productive I become…and I’m happier in the process. My best ideas float to me when I’m resting and I teach my best yoga classes the day after good rest. 🦄💕 how are you resting today?
and my meal is a watermelon-mint-like juice + cassava fries 🥰
I did a silent yoga flow on YouTube this morning and this is the extended bonus afterwards for you…. I’m explaining sequencing…giving you the tools to create your own yoga flows with intention. ✌🏼🦄💕
a little naked painting in the golden light to a song I wrote in my golden ear of music festivals... in those days when I went running every morning through my forested neighborhood and stopped to smell the roses growing in someone's garden. Now I'm smelling plumerias. Back then... I was dreaming of a tropical life, traveling the world making music. I was painting sunsets in my garage and partying every weekend. Happy memories are captured in my songs.
Listen to "Getting High and Smelling Roses" on Spotify:

When was the last time you stopped to smell the roses?

📝 Sunday Snippet from my Writing…
“ The ocean sang to me until my own voice was strong enough to sing. She gave me steady rhythm to follow until my heart was strong enough to carry the beat. The ocean saved me, repairing my broken heart and restoring my voice. Salt water was the magic I needed…and a very deep dive.”

Yoga in water is officially AMAZING.
All the elements together to play.
Fire on my skin.
Water on my skin.
Earth on my skin.
Air on my skin.
Touch me Mother Nature!!!!! 🌈☀️💦🔥🪨🌺 lol
Way more stimulating than stretching indoors on the mat. Go play outside!
😘

this was the 3rd song I ever wrote. It’s STILL a work in progress. 🧜🏼♀️ Today I’m practicing the song but more so I’m focused on practicing my singing technique. I have a chronically tight jaw so I’m constantly finding new ways to relax my facial muscles as I sing so Sound can resonate out of me more smoothly with power. 🥸 I’m playing with moving the sounds around my soft and hard pallet inside my mouth, vibrating different portions of my skull and supporting my breath with my core muscles as I sway around and tap my feet to try to keep some kind of rhythm while my fingers frantically search for strings a second after my brain guesses which chords I think come next while the other hand spasms on rhythm and walks the guitar at moments when I don’t expect it to. Most of the time the words are on my tongue ready to go but sometimes they trip on their way out too. The whole thing is a circus. Enjoy!

Cha, practicing the secret skills behind being an enchanting mermaid 🍍
