Raw footage of me painting a new sunset (Part 2/2) 🌼 all this daydreaming of Bali has me more excited about sunsets than ever. I’m obsessed with sunsets. It feels like my most important moment of the day. I run to the roof or the beach or the street to catch the setting sun. I’m sad when I miss it or forget to look for it. I started painting sunsets years ago to escape into warm fantasies. 🌴🌊☀️ I think I painted my first sunset in the deep dark depressing January or February that hits seattle every year. Seasonal “wtf do I live here?! mood disorder”.
Right now I’m experimenting with making small sunsets — 8”x12” on wood with acrylic and spray paint. I’m layering up the textures so the paintings are thick and pop off the canvas with interesting depth. I paint mountains in front of the sunset horizon so with the modeling goop I can actually form mountains that lift up and come at you. You can run your fingers along their ridges. I’ve decided that when painting…more texture is better. ✌🏼
What is your favorite thing about sunsets? Favorite place to watch them? Can you remember a special one?
🌈 love, cha
raw footage of me painting a new one 🌻 (part 1/2) — I created texture with molding goop and used the shapes to direct where the color was added. I’ll post the next video (part 2) tomorrow and you’ll see how the painting goes in an entirely different direction. I like where it started though… super feminine and fluffy like a pretty mystical cloud lol 💋
I recorded these videos last week before I packed up my studio. I just wanted to make sure I shared them with you before I left. I actually have a lot of videos I havent shared yet. Even though they are “out of date” — would you still like me to post them? I can sprinkle them in as little throwbacks every now and then. 💕
I hope you enjoy today! I’m running around town doing last minute errands before my trip to Bali. I leave on Monday morning (Sept 12). Im so excited to bring you guys along! ☀️ Love, cha
good morning ☀️🤩🌻 hang out with me for an hour in my living room while I stretch and chat about moving, adventures, writing, breathing, cats, chakras and painting 💋✌🏼
When I’m doing, hang upside down. ✌🏼
Moving out of my studio today … furniture going out, trips to the dump, goodwill and storage. Family helping me. Lots of trips up and down the elevator and drives back and forth in the car. 💕 As I watch my paintings carried out, I keep taking deep slow breaths and memories float up into my mind of moments I loved in this space. This studio was my healing sanctuary and private space for playful creation. I have some videos of moments I spent alone that I’ll share with you this week as I’m out and about. You can reflect with me as we prepare for our next chapter. 💕 Thank you for being with me and supporting me. I’ll be back to message with you and create new videos later this week once the big moving is complete. 💋 love, cha
Thursday Music Production -- Inside My Computer, In my music making software (Ableton Live 11). I'm working on a new song today. Probably calling it 'Just Another Human'. I wrote the lyrics after my therapy session this morning. I was dealing with a part of me who wants to be super unique, special, more than human, reach my fullest potential. This part feels threatened by the mundane, simple life. Having children feels threatening to this part. Having children is humbling. Living in a world of fantasies, up in the clouds, dancing around in my dreams...this feels fun and free to so many of my parts. So like usual, I say goodbye to my therapist and head straight to the music room to let my deepest secrets and emotions express themselves for the whole world to eventually hear. This part of me wants to be special. She doesn't want to "just be another human".
I had no idea I could do this crazy scorpion pose, balancing on one knee with the other leg bent in the air. This was my moment of glorious breakthrough — almost always these moments arrive in playfulness.
I say this to you all the time I’m our yoga classes — keep practicing simple basic poses and gradually you body warms up and opens up and fun new poses are unlocked for you. Consistent yoga practice leads you to magical level up moments in which you discover new abilities in your body and your life.
What should we can this pose? How about a throwing star… ninja star? My legs kinda look like blades! Lol The weapon is technically called a Shuriken … so translate that into a yoga pose name and we have = shurikenasana! lol
I’ve been playing in paint every morning. I’m back to creating sunsets. Rainbow sunsets. I love the paint splashing around and leaving the studio with color on my skin. 💋🌈 new paintings will be for sale soon. Get on my newsletter to make sure you are notified when I release painting sales! 💕 love, cha

Vocal Play in Ableton
135 BPM / Gm
I’m integrating a sacral vocal practice into my morning routine. After meditation, journaling and creative writing, I’m warming up my vocal, playing with my voice, giving my voice an opportunity to make any sounds and say anything it wants. I let the microphone record me for a solid hour as I talked, hummed, sang, laughed, coughed and made chipmunk sounds lol —- when you give yourself the moment to express freely, what comes out? At first it feels awkward and f0rced. As the energy starts to flow through my body it feels more natural and eventually pleasurable. Here’s a recording of my screen as I’m fucking around with some of the samples I recorded. Enjoy! ☀️🌈✌🏼🎼
Slippery water play on the side of the pool. Yoga is serious and not serious. Serious medicine. Seriously effective at making you feel so amazing that you just don't take life so seriously anymore. Shit doesn't weigh you down as much. All parts of life become more fun, more peaceful. Practice yoga everyday and watch how you start to play like a kid again and delight in simple pleasures. Watch your creativity wake up again. Watch your curiosity grow and watch how naturally you act in a way that breeds pleasure. When you practice yoga, you will cry on your mat and you will laugh. You will challenge yourself to balance on one hand and you will slide around in a puddle because it feels good. WHAT FEELS GOOD? -- this is one of the most powerful questions to keep at the ready. Whenever you need to make a decision in life...ask yourself "What feels good?" and go do some yoga if the answer isn't clear yet. Love, Cha
I am wild and ever changing.
If I am the create, why am I creating this?
A still quiet peaceful energy; my soul sighs.
Where is your mind at? That’s where you’ll be.
🌸 song: Carry Me by Kygo and Julia Michaels

It's easy to feel eyes watching me, to be distracted by 'who might walk in on me'. In Hawaii, my friends were walking around and so were a handful of housekeepers and groundskeepers. Strangers at first who probably don't see almost naked women stretching in the hot sun on the daily. I'm assuming most people who stay at this fancy mansion aren't uber flexible and showing it off. LOL As you know, I'm used to stretching and making my videos in the privacy of my studio...despite the fact I'm broadcasting to thousands of people around the globe...I'm still very much alone in the room. I can relax when I feel privacy in the physical space. So to step out into the open and stretch my body on the pool deck is one step outside my comfort zone. I like it. It's fresh. It's real. I'm not ashamed or embarrased. I'm just aware that I'm not fully alone. At any moment someone might walk by and watch me, judge me, avert their uncomfortable eyes, stare harder. So the real practice for me then becomes forgetting everything out there. Is it possible for me to get so deeply focused within my own limbs, studying tiny sensations and signals from within my tissue, that my inner world consumes me and the people walking by disappear into the background? Can I control my attention and focus inside on my own pleasure and pain? Let go of everything else. Sometimes, these moments when I know I'm being observed are my most profound meditations. The pressure from outside directs my gaze with determination to my dristi, my gazing point.
Sunset yoga at the beach 💕👣 This everyday please please please! ☀️🌴 I love living beside the water. Do you? Why yes/no? — for me, it’s the horizon line, closeness to the sunset and ocean rhythm. It feels soft, feminine and mysterious. I can gaze into the water and indulge in the sand and wind. My body feels touched, caressed and mutually loved by the elements I me-et at the end of the land. Sometimes I splash and float and sail on the waves, playfully touching the squishy wetness and I return home to appreciate the dry warmth of earth. ✌🏼🌊👣 love, Cha

To let go of my paintings, to say goodbye to my colorful little friends who I birthed magically and feel comfortable around. They make me happy and when they are near to me, they are a central part of my home, like children. And then I learn to let go and let go and let go so they can be released. We let go until we allow release. I allowed the emotions to be released into the paint and then I allow the paintings to be released into the world, into the hands of another human. They have a new home now, a new family and a new mission. They are on their own life journey with their own purpose. I filled them up with all the love I had to give. Blessings little ones 😘 go spread joy! 🌸💋
I spend all day mastering songs for my next album. Currently I have seven song (almost) ready to go. They each need a little tweak — turn down high frequencies of vocals, lower volume of clap, add extra layer to kick sub so it feels fuller. I edit on the computer and then I hop in the car and drive around playing the songs as I fly down the freeway with my hand out the window. Does it make me happy when I drive? Do I hear something that bugs me? I return to the computer to make the updates and I head out again and again until I kiss my fingers because the songs all feel perfect. 💋🫶🏼💕 — this song is called “Words I Need to Say” ✌🏼✨🎼🎧🌻 I wrote it on the piano last summer in my studio, during the heat wave, sweaty and digging deep into emotions (as usual). I write it about something I felt with my mother. I’m dedicating the song to her. I know she connects with the lyrics. 🌼
I didn't bring my yoga mat to Hawaii. I just practiced on the hard tiles around the pool. It actually doesn't hurt much because usually it's just hands and feet touching the floor in most yoga poses. It can be uncomfortable when my hip bones touch down or if I stand on my knees. I just use a towel to add some cushion. Moments like this when I am practicing with the bare minimum, no props, just a bikini, no fancy studio, no teacher...it's just me moving my body beneath a big blue sky. Back to basics. Optimum freedom. Heightened focus.
I just left my Hawaii vacation behind on the 🌺 Big Island. I took a two week break from workouts and healthy eating. I let my body lounge around and float in salty water, sleep in and indulge. We drank so many white claws out of wine glasses and called them “Divine Claws” LOL — Late night Mario Party and freshly baked cookies, multiple bowls of caramel popcorn and shrooms on the beach. Day by day, I felt my muscles soften, my belly grow, my mind got a little numb and sleepy.
I enjoyed the entire unwinding experience even more knowing that upon my return home I would resume my healthy self love and energizing practices. My daily movement (lifting, HIT cardio, walking and yoga) will bring back my lean, strong and limber body to full vitality.
I am ready to move again! In this video, I am playing on my yoga mat for the first time since vacation. ☀️ A heatwave in Seattle has my studio temperature up to 90 degrees F. I’m sweating on this yoga mat!

you love me for who I am
Who I am is a woman with purpose
I love the work I am doing in this world
To perform at my best I need space
And many relationships
I have rituals and deep intentions
I build habits on purpose
To function smoothly effortlessly at a high level
I need space and routine to flow with the current
You love my love
My soft touch
My smile and laughter in your eye
You love me resting in your arms and
Sliding my hungry mouth on your cock
Yes I love that too
I am most alive and sensual when I am balanced
When I put myself first
When I get everything I need
I am abundant in passionate energy
And I love to celebrate life with you
You are the most special human being in my life
I moved in as close as I could and lost my balance
Now remembering balance
I find my full heart again
It needs so much space and it loves to hold you in its spaciousness
Please fill me up
The more sensitive my body becomes
The more skill I need to live in it
I’m a free spirit driving the most wild human body,
Power unlimited
So much responsibility
Space to learn how to drive this ever changing beauty
I’m Long range
I Speed within limits
I want to be in the game and race
Stop you dead in your tracks
And guide you home,
Back to freedom and love.
inside my new song "Long Road Home" -- I'm in the vocal booth (peace and quiet alone time to focus on work when I'm locked in here lol). Sitting in my bikini, drinking strawberry-kiwi hydration drink, surrounded by my books, journals and silence.....I'm mastering my songs, preparing them for an album I hope to release in September. I have more editing and polishing to do this month.
** ALSO.... 8 new songs are dropping on Aug 5th -- NEW ALBUM "Wilde & Browne" -- These are songs I collaborated on with Davey Browne. You can presave that album so it magically appears on your streaming platform library when it drops. What music platform do you use?

Moonship — I created this painting in the middle of the night by candlelight. I woke up the next morning for the surprise of what it actually looked like in daylight. This painting is named after a song on my upcoming album (it is released Aug 5). This painting was recently purchased by Gary, one of my most supportive fans. 💕
Rise up
me-et me in power
Speak to me straight with your pussy pulled up into your gut
Strong and solid knowing
Soft in deep silent soul
An ocean of spirit behind you
Cut through ✌🏼🌈
*check your messages for this video* -- I filmed myself warming up before teaching a class for you. If you would like to watch then entire video, it's PPV. If you don't see the video in your inbox yet, send me a message and ask for "Naked Yoga - Sacred Warm Up".
--- It comes with this message ---
"The time that a yoga teacher spends BEFORE teaching a class is very important sacred time. Who am I to speak to you about the human body if I'm not fully inhabiting my own? What is there to say if my head is full of words? In order to show you something of deep value, I must get inside my own body, feel all the sensations and quiet the space inside me. Clear of thoughts, full of feeling, I can speak out loud the words that flow in for you. I don't plan ahead of time what I'll say. I just open my mouth and let what feels good and true be spoken. This time I take to prepare is like sweeping the floor before welcoming students into the room. I cleanse the space so you can walk into something empty and discover something wonderful for yourself. Even if you're not a yoga teacher, you can do this for other people in your life. Before you go to work, before you interact with you family and friends...pause, take a deep breath, clear your mind and look inside your body. What kind of energy are you bringing to people? How would you like to be for them? Cultivate that."
Love,
Cha
Let yourself been seen at a distance
It takes forever to say goodbye
I love you so your dreams are my dreams
The song has to play with itself
It’s a sound until it’s a feeling 🌸
