Hi fam!
I wanted to talk a little bit about navigating the new year🗓️. It’s now February and the buzz of the new year starting might be wearing off by now..🤔? If not, that’s great! You go on with your awesome self😃!!
But if the above (where the newness is wearing off), is above case, a way to reinvigorate⚡️ yourself is to find a new shape/road/path/thought process🏞️.
I was thinking about that as I made my way into this inversion🙃! Getting into this inversion was kind of a surprise for me because I was thinking about how to pivot and make a new path of healing and moving forward for my family❤️🙏🏼.
And then this happened🤸🏽♀️! It was a great feeling🙂.
This is a variation of Mukta Hasta Sirsasana, or tripod headstand❤️.
It offers a great platform for getting into new shapes physically🤸🏽♀️ as well as mentally☺️ (at least for me!)!
I hope as you navigate this month, that you also have some moments of clarity and happy surprises as well😄!
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Hello JVY fam!!
As you know, I have been laying low to get my herd through the holidays and the new year. We got through it all together, and my hope is the same for you and yours 💞
I thought I’d start the year, at least this first post of the year, with something different🔀😇.
Pictured here is a mural we came across on one of our recent family travels🌠.
It was a snowy blizzardy day❄️🌨️, and we were trekking through to just make it back to home base🥶.
We turned a corner, and there it was😊:
This beautiful whimsical colorful mural 🎨 on a big brick wall, of none other than paper planes ✈️!
Paper planes symbolize many things to many people, but they really started as the ultimate symbol of imagination😃, of childhood curiosity, of growth📈, of travel🌎, of going places🚗, of belief in moving forward➡️.
So, I thought this was a great place to start 2024 for our JVY community ❤️✈️🙏🏼
I hope this year brings you all of those things and more. I hope it brings peace🙏🏼, whimsy🙃, and joy💗. All good things❤️.
And when not-so-good things come along, as such is life, let’s try to remember these paper planes. And keep moving forward ❤️✈️🙏🏼💗
With love and gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi
PS- if you need any help along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out to me! And if you’d like to join us for JVY Gentle Flow Yoga next week, the link to signup is below. Let’s move forward, together :-)

Hi fam,
I don’t know about you, but this year has flown by for me!
I will be taking some time at the end of this year to reflect and stay present with my family as we move through this holiday season to end the year ❤️
For this reason, there will be no JVY classes in December 2023🙏🏼. We will restart in January 2024💪🏼🤸🏽♀️!
In the meantime, try to keep staying balanced and continue moving forward⚖️⏩!
If you are having any issues or feel like you just need a Yoga class, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me- I am happy to do private sessions until the next JVY classes💗!
As always, I’d like to extend my gratitude for each of you for your love and support of JVY (and of me)! I am eternally thankful ❤️🙏🏼💗

Hi fam!
Happy happy Diwali ❤️🪔!
Diwali, as you might know, is a festival which celebrates bringing Light🪔 into your life!
It specifically celebrates ridding your house🏡, your space, your being😃 even, of darkness to let the Light🌟 in.
I love this time of year for so many reasons, but especially because it is a great time to reset and refresh my mind🧠, body🤸🏽♀️, and soul☺️.
Wishing you and yours a Happy Diwali🪔, and a year filled with Light🌟!
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Hi fam!
Just a little thought for today:
Life is a balancing act ⚖️😅!

Remember to give yourself some grace🙏🏼, especially if you falter. You can reset❤️, refresh🌱, and continue on your balancing act again!
And remember, you are not alone💞. We are all walking this journey of life together👣👣.
If you feel overwhelmed (or even if you don’t), feel free to reach out to me for support or just to lend an ear😊.
Our existence means more when we are present for each other ❤️🙏🏼
Wishing you continued balance and peace!!

Hi family,
Let the Healing continue… 🌺🙏🏼
Life is filled with dichotomies🔀- Good and Bad, Ups and Downs, Left and Right.
The key for me in this phase of my life has been to keep moving➡️. To keep moving through the process of Healing🙏🏼, of Improving🙂, of Acknowledging where we are❤️ so that we can then move through that feeling, whether good to bad, go get to the next part of life🙌🏼.
I hope this helps you, especially if you’re sitting with something uncomfortable or sad🥺, that this will pass with time (sometimes a lot lot lot of time⏳. Just keep moving and you’ll get through it ❤️🙏🏼💞
Wishing you love and light ❤️✨
With gratitude,

Dear JVY community and family,
You might have been noticed I’ve been a little quiet these days🙂.
I am taking some time to focus on my family during a difficult time❤️.

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to send out a quick message to encourage you to make even down-time a little fun and funky🤩!!
I was super pumped to catch my big guy just hanging in Shoulder Stand🙌🏼, or Sarvangasana, for a quick moment to enjoy the In-between Times of life⏳!
This Asana is a great pose which helps to increase circulation❤️ and build strength💪🏼 and flexibility🤸🏽♀️.

Hi gang!
I wanted to send out the following today:
Some spots of our journey look different than what we thought might be the case🏞️.
This is normal, and it is persistence💪🏼 and positive thoughts🌟 which move us through these times on to the next steps of our path!
Pictured here, Dancer pose💃🏻, or Natarajasana, always looks a little bit different every time I am in this particular Asana😃.
Sometimes, my back leg is lifted higher, my backbend is more loose, my arm is stiffer, my hand takes a different mudra (or hand expression, I am bowed forward to a different degree. 😁😅😊😌🙃
But each and every time I am in Natarajasana, it remains that pose and its meaning:
The expression of a fiery dance💃🏻 to destroy evil/challenges to pave the way for the greatness✌🏼 that is to come 🙌🏼❤️🙏🏼
I hope you find your own version of this pose🤸🏽♀️, however it looks for you, so you can pave the way for the positive steps in your journey ahead too💓🌟🙏🏼!
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Hi fam!
How are you? I’ve missed you all💕!
It’s been a minute hasn’t it!? I’ve been refocusing and resetting🙂, and it’s actually been a great refresh🌿 for me and my fam!
I hope you guys are doing well😃!
I wanted to just send this thought out there today:
Wherever you are in your journey of health/life/work/balancing⚕️🏃🏽♀️⚖️, you’re okay💓 and you’re where you’re supposed to be 🙂!
As long as you are trying to be the best version of yourself that you can muster, you’re good💕
Pictured here is a great pose to include in your stretching💫 before or after a workout, or at anytime when you are resetting🌱 yourself (I’ve been doing this one a LOT these days 😅😇)!
This is a variation of Eka Pada Rajakapotasana, or Mermaid pose🧜🏽♀️ which helps to elongate our hips, quads, and shoulders💪🏼.
Try it out next time you’re doing Yoga🤸🏽♀️ or stretching💫 and let me know how it goes for you!!
And remember:
You’re good right where you are💓.
Feel free to reach out and connect with me👋🏼 if you need some support or for any reason at all 💞🙏🏼

Hi fam!
Just a little reminder to streeetchhhhh! Stretch everything - your body💪🏼, your mind🧠, your soul❤️.
Stretch your body: stretch before and after your workouts😅 to allow your muscles recovery💪🏼, to reset, and to gain the most from the hard work you’re putting into staying healthy☀️.
And remember, stretching can be your WHOLE workout too! It’s good for you ❤️😇
Stretch your mind🧠: to think of new ideas💡, new solutions🤩, new paths to get to where you want to be next in your journey🏞!
And Stretch your soul💞: there are times in our lives when we find ourselves in places we might not have envisioned. If you dig deep🙏🏼, reach within❤️, and stretch the limits of your soul, you may just find a way to get to the next step👣!
So any way you think about it, stretching helps!
Hope this helps you😍 as you move through your weeks ahead👍🏼!
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Hi everyone!
I wanted to send out a message today about Diwali (which is next week!)🪔
Diwali is known among most population as the Festival of Lights🪔🎉 which is accurate!
Specifically, Diwali celebrates ridding your house, surroundings, and Life of darkness, and Letting the Light☀️ into your life.
Darkness can come into one’s life in many forms. Just remember to take a breath, refocus🙏🏼, and move forward with Light💡 in your heart❤️. No one can take that from you🙂!
Wishing you Light🪔💡☀️ in your week ahead!
If you need any help in the process, JOIN ME for the JVY Gentle Flow 🌱 Yoga class this Sunday, 10/23 at 9:30a CDT! It’s in perfect time for Diwali and starting the new year off in Positivity💡 and Light 🪔🎉❤️🙏🏼!

Hi fam!
I needed this reminder so thought you might need to hear it too:
Life’s a balancing act ⚖️!
Do your best❤️, Try your hardest💪🏼, and Persevere☀️!
As long as you are putting in the effort💓, the rest with fall into place🌱.
This is one of my favorite arm balances for many reasons! Eka Pada Koundinyasana II (EPK) 🤸🏽♀️ demands a lot of the body and always seems to mirror life to me🪩.
One of my favorite things about this pose is that as much as I try, this pose never looks the same twice!
Regardless of if I get into the pose the same way😇, the outcome is always slightly different🙃.
This is because balancing your whole body on your arms with the legs stretched out is just a big task🤩! (Similar to Life itself💞!!)
Make sure to give yourself some Grace as you move through your week ahead. Life’s a balancing act⚖️ and you’ll make it through! Like you always do ❤️🙏🏼
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to send some love and recentering vibes❤️⚡️ for you and as you start your week ahead!
This pose is a Shoulder Stand🙃, or Sarvangasana, variation.
Shoulder stand is a great pose for stretching the shoulders and neck😄, quieting the nervous system😬, reducing fluid retention in the legs/feet👣, helps with sleep😴 (if done at nighttime), and can improve digestion😇 too!
Basically, it activates your Parasympathetic Nervous System☺️ (the “Rest and Digest” part of the nervous system) which essentially slows down and resets💓 your body!
So when you feel overwhelmed😖, if you can’t sleep🥱, or if you just need a quick reset😇, get into Sarvangasana🙃 to help your body moving in the right direction!
If you try this pose, tag me and let me know how it went for you 💞!!
Wishing you good vibes and a great week ahead!
To keep help these good vibes going, JOIN ME for JVY Yoga classes in October 2022! Link to join is below!

Hi fam!
I want to send out all the Gratitude and Love I can possibly muster today💞❤️💓.
Jeet Victory Yoga, this labor of love we call our JVY community, is TWO years old now2️⃣🎉🙌🏼!!!
I am filled with awe and inspiration to keep going when I think about how JVY started🌱…

Hey fam!
The thought for today will be short and sweet:
Give yourself a moment to juuust brreeeathe.
🫁❤️
Take a moment in your day, and engage in belly breathing🧘🏽♀️. This will engage your Parasympathetic Nervous System🌠 (“rest and digest”) which decreases your heart rate🫀 (thanks, Acetylcholine!) and helps to Calm You Down 🙏🏼🙌🏼❤️.
Try this out in your days ahead and see if it helps you reset🙂!
Another thing that will help with this? Yoga!! 😇

Hi guys!
Here is some food for thought as you move through your day and week ahead… 💡
A lot of the time, most of us feel like we are in a “time deficit” ⏳⏱ - feeling like we have to hurry🏃🏽♀️ and rush through the current thing we’re doing to get to the next thing🏃🏽♀️ that needs to be done and then the next thing🏃🏽♀️ after that… 🤪
After looking into this and how to recenter (and a very helpful podcast, shoutout to Dr. Laurie Santos🙂!!), I’ve started trying to make sure I have some “time affluence” ⏰where I do something small, quick, and fun🥳 in the middle of busy times!
I will say, it helps me almost immediately to reset my whole mindset from feeling rushed to being back in the present and appreciating where I am in that moment🤩!
I do highly recommend trying this guys🙌🏼. And if you haven’t, check out Dr. Laurie Santos’ podcast The Happiness Lab episode about it!
And y’all know… what would I make time for for a quick little bout of fun??
I’ll ALWAYS make time for a quick arm balance 🤩🙃!
Brings a genuine smile to my face🙂 and lifts me out of any #mood😇 that might be looming!
What will you try this week to make yourself feel more “time affluent”☀️??
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Hi Family!
Happy Sunday ☀️
This is your friendly reminder to always find the light in whatever situation you find yourself in 💡
This photo was taken amongst some pretty incredible artwork🎨. There were paintings, sculptures, and all kinds of other large scale pieces. It was amazing🙌🏼!
Pictured here, I’m doing Tree pose, or Vrkasana, in-between some huge larger-than-life preserved bamboo 🎋.
It was a super peaceful 🙏🏼 place to take a few yoga poses🤸🏽♀️!
Wishing you some peace as you start the weekend🌱❤️🙌🏼!!

Hi fam!
How is everyone? I have been taking some time away to re-center and refresh🌱!
I hope you have been able to snag a few moments to do the same. ☀️
I went with my family to California, and it was definitely refreshing!
Great weather, great food, and even better to be surrounded by family 💞
While in California, I attended a unique outdoor Silent Disco Yoga class (pictured here) and it was SO great in resetting my whole mindset! There was a little misting on our faces with the weather, there was a breeze, we needed layers (so we were cozy!), and we moved through a great Yoga practice with a new community! I feel like it rejuvenated my whole spirit🌳!
In getting back to our daily life, a great way to refresh yourself is with JVY yoga classes with me!! Yoga is a sure-thing when it comes to rejuvenating and resetting the mind, body, and soul ❤️

Hi guys!
It’s been a bit since I’ve posted on the JVY Blog! Hope July has started off okay for you guys and that everyone is doing well :-)
Today, I was thinking about the following…
Sometimes, you just have to smile through it 😊
The science of smiling is pretty cool😎. In times of stress or discontentment, try, even when you’re not feeling it, to smile even a little bit🙂.
By smiling, it helps to trigger some happy hormones📈 and get those neurotransmitters going to help you get to a better place mentally 😊.
After that, your brain might clear a little, and solutions will come to you for how to get to that better place more consistentlyHi guys! Sometimes, you just have to smile through it 😊

I had a lovely and powerful Gentle Flow Yoga class🌱 with these beautiful souls.

Hi fam!
Here are my thoughts for today ❤️…
Anytime I get to teach Yoga, whether is a large group or a smaller group, I try to infuse an Idea💡, a Positive Intention📈, and Good Energy✨ into the class that my clients can take with them as they move throughout their days and weeks ahead🗓.
This is one of the ways I can do my Seva, or service, to give back to the community around me🙏🏼.
The beauty of getting to teach virtually💻 is that I get to teach students locally🌱 as well as across the continent and the globe🌎!
I love getting to teach Yoga in this unique way, and I am grateful I can still connect with all of my students and clients that I have had the privilege of meeting since Jeet Victory Yoga began (in the middle of the pandemic)🙌🏼💓!
Join me for our next classes to see what we’re all about🌱❤️🙏🏼!
Sending gratitude to those who have already joined and looking forward to meeting new faces soon🤩💕🙏🏼!!

Hi fam!
I just wanted to send some good vibes out today😎!
Eagle Pose🦅 (or Garudasana) is a challenging pose with the balancing required⚖️, core engagement😅, and the squatting💪🏼. However if you can keep your eyes level and straight ahead➡️, it’s a little easier to hold the asana for longer🙌🏼.
And a smile 😃 goes a long way if you can swing it!
Hope your week ahead is positive✨ and you can swing a smile😊!
Also, JVY POWER Yoga💪🏼 is on MOTHER’S DAY 💓 Sunday 5/8! And guess what??
THIS CLASS IS FREE!!!

Hi guys!
I wanted to start with this thought:
“Keep moving forward in the direction you are going! ↗️ “
We had a great little family getaway to the 30A beaches in Florida☀️🌊! What a peaceful location guys, I highly recommend it 🙌🏼❤️.
We took morning walks on the beach and enjoyed being outside almost all day every day…🐚🌊
The time away was inspiring and helped get some new ideas flowing for all of us! 💡
On one of our morning walks, I remembered this phrase that I started with and it helped to frame and recenter my thoughts💭.
Another way to say this:
Go at your own pace, but don’t stop moving ahead⏩.
Move on ahead. Go further! ⏭
You don’t have to jump, or run, or fly🏃🏽♀️🦋. Taking steps is just fine❤️. But continue moving onward➡️!
The path to take is already known to you. Just keep going forward👣.
Hope this gives you an extra boost of encouragement as you move through your week!! 💓

Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Hi everyone!
Here is a thought for today:
Look for beauty even in the small moments of life🌳!
Life is full of happenings, big and small, and your interpretation of them informs your whole being😃 and mindset🧠.
I try to focus on the positive aspects of life regardless of what is going on, as much as I can. I also try to consistently work on self-improvement, so I can be the best version of myself for my family😃😃, my village🥳, my patients and their families🩺, and even the people I don’t know that I come across in my day-to-day!
I definitely am realistic but find that staying positive keeps me in balance🙂.
So, doing a mundane activity like the one in this picture turns into a wonderful light💡 and sound🎙 show lol!
Where do you think we were when this pic was taken?!

Hey fam,
Hi there, I’ve taken some time away from social meida, from the blog, from a lot, just trying to fcous on making it through life one day at a time.
My family lost a loved one… it was peaceful but also very sad.
But. Today is a new day 🌅. The sun still shines☀️, the birds are chirping us into Spring🐥, and I am still grateful for this life 🙏🏼.
Here’s to looking up📈 and looking forward🌏!
Sending big love and gratitude especially to those who have reached out ❤️…
I am looking forward to a Strong and Resilient Powerful Flow Yoga class next Sunday, 4/10 9:30a CST!

Hi fam!
I thought I’d spend a few minutes today talking about Dancer pose💃🏻🕺🏽, or Natarajasana.
This pose is quite challenging and there are a lot of different factors at play- there’s a backbend element🤸🏽♀️, a how-tight-are-your-hamstrings element😅, a balancing element🙃, lots of different moving parts that can make this pose, along with many of almost all other Yoga poses, seem out-of-reach or impossible😳!
The first step is to acknowledge that while some asanas come naturally or easily for some people👍🏼, they might be more challenging for others😬 (maybe even you!).
And in this pose for me😇:
Just because my back leg/foot isn’t lifted to the level of my head😆, just because I have a small micro-bend at the knee of my standing leg🧐, many other adjustments I’ve made in this pose, it doesn’t mean that I couldn’t find Strength💪🏼, Steadiness😊, Grace😌, and maybe even Enjoyment🤩 (dare I say!) in my unique versions of these poses.
That leads me to the following next realization:
Anyone and Everyone who practices Yoga Has A Yoga Body😎!
No matter what your pose looks like, it is uniquely yours😍. And it is your Powerful version🌱. And it is very much Yoga🙂.
Hope this message lifts you up a bit as we are start our week🙌🏼!
With gratitude,
Shamita, akan Dr. Yogi Trivedi

We started off today (Super Bowl Sunday🏈🙌🏼!) with a Powerful 💪🏼Sweaty 😅Strong🔥 POWER Yoga class!!
I am so grateful for everyone who joined in!
Most of my whole family attended today for which I am so thankful. They are my support and the reason why I can do what I do 🙏🏼❤️🥰
It was also very cool to see some new faces in the class today😃!!! That inspires me to give 110% too😊! I love helping people on their journey to Find Their (Own) Victory through Yoga☺️.
One of my new Yoga students today described my class as “P90X Yoga” which made me really happy💪🏼🔥🙏🏼!
Another person said before class they were “grumpy and tired🤪, and now after the class I’m happy and energetic💡!”
This is a great reminder that:
Yoga can make you stronger and better balanced in life as you get stronger and better balanced in the practice we flow through🙌🏼.

Hi everyone!
Today, I wanted to send out a shoutout to say:
Happy National Women Physicians Day!! 🩺👩🏽⚕️❤️🙏🏼
The holiday was technically on Feb 3rd, the birthday of the very first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States in 1849 📜.
I love what I do🙏🏼! I wear many hats in life (physician 👩🏽⚕️, mother 👦🏽👦🏽, wife💞, daughter, friend 😃, and Yogi🤸🏽♀️🧘🏽♀️ to name a few.
However, the one that has been my passion from the time I was old enough to decide on a profession (in 1st grade) was being a Physician🩺⚕️.
Being of service to others in this very specific way has been a lifelong mission and dream of mine🌠.
I am a Pediatric Endocrinologist👩🏽⚕️ who specializes in helping kids🤩 (hello, great days every day hanging out with kiddos🙌🏼!) with some complicated diagnoses like problems with Growth and Puberty, Thyroid problems, and Type 1 Diabetes to name a few.
Kids are so resilient and they show me how much every single day💪🏼🙌🏼🤩❤️.
I am really in love with what I do, and it drives me in a way that nothing else ever had😇.
I feel very blessed professionally and wanted to send some love to the other women physicians out there on this particular day👩🏽⚕️⚕️🩺💞!!
Let’s all, regardless of your profession, keep reaching up🙌🏼 and driving forward🏎 to inspire our younger generations that they CAN be whatever they dream to be🌠✨🤩❤️!!

Hi everyone!
Today, I was thinking about…
#levitating 🥏
When you’re doing any type of workout💪🏼 (in this case Yoga), make sure you use blocks and straps and the tools around you to help you Feel Your Best and Strongest😃🏋🏽♀️!
I Tried a little levitation here as I’m seeing where my sacral injury is in the healing process⚕️.
Yoga blocks can help you to Release tension🎈, Avoid injury😬, and Build confidence😊 as you progress through your Yoga practice!
Try using blocks🧱 and see if you can get deeper into your Flow!
Let me know how it goes for you!! @jeetvictoryyoga on IG!

Hi everyone!
Here I am, just hangin’ around again!! LOL🙃
Sirsasana, or Headstand Pose, is one of my favorite inversions😇.
It strengths your whole body of course💪🏼, but the sense is accomplishment 🌟 that one feels afterwards is something special, at least for me🏅. The whole body feels lighter and stronger all at once💕!
That sense of accomplishment🏆can be attained when you attempt anything challenging, big🐘 or small🐥, that you try and eventually succeed at doing🙌🏼😅!
Wishing for you all to feel that sense of accomplishment🥇as you move through your week ahead❤️🤩!

Hi everyone!
Theme of today’s post:
Reach up high, Reached farther, Reach for the Sun!!! ☀️
Natarajasana, or Dancer Pose… 💃🏻 is one of my favorites!
And getting to touch the Sun ☀️on this beautiful day was just icing on the cake!
Natarajasana is one of my favorite Yoga asanas for many reasons❤️. When I am fully stretched out, I can get my back leg higher, my balance stretched a little further, maybe the pose looks a little “prettier…” 🙂
But honestly, this Power pose truly makes me feel Powerful, regardless of where I am in my practice at the time of this pose 🙌🏼!
Whenever I engage in this pose, I feel my Power🙌🏼, my Strength 💪🏼, and my Victory💫!
This was one of the inspirations for starting my own virtual Yoga studio, Jeet Victory Yoga (aka JVY)! ❤️💪🏼💫🙌🏼
I went through some tougher times personally (I am sure we all have), and this is when Yoga really pulled me through✨.
I want to bring Yoga to more people, to help people realize their own Power and Victory from within their own body🌠!!
Please join me and tell a friend about JVY❤️🙏🏼!
I’d love to grow our amazing community which already spans continents and oceans🌎🌊!

Hi everyone!
This is a photo of rural Eastern Canada, where my parents in The North reside 🇨🇦❤️
They sent this beautiful daybreak photo with the following message:
”Good morning our dear children,
After a brisk and busy spring and summer comes fall and winter, time to rest, hibernate and rejuvenate.
Take a pause and enjoy the season.
Lots of love, dad and mom.”
❤️💞🙏🏼🇨🇦
This was such a beautifully worded message, that I just had to share it. Take some time to reset and rejuvenate!

Hi everyone!
I wanted to remind you all to…
Make time for Yoga, even after you score a touchdown 🏈!
Kyler Murray is the Quarterback for the NFL Arizona Cardinals football team 🙌🏼
He took a quick Tree Pose 🌳 and meditation pose 😌 after a touchdown this season, and I am HERE FOR IT!!! 🙌🏼🏈🙌🏼❤️
Even busy professional athletes ⚽️🏈🏀🎾🏒⛷🏅 benefit from finding time for Yoga practice, sometimes on their own time or even during the game (as pictured here!! 🙃)!
On a more relatable note, Yoga is a powerful addition to your workout routine💪🏼, regardless of your athletic background or fitness level. 🧘🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️
Try work in a few poses (or asanas) 🌳▶️🦅before or after your next training session or workout!
You’ll see the difference it makes in your athletics and the level of your workout! 😅
Send me a message (using the link below!) and let me know how it goes for you! ❤️💞🙌🏼

Hi everyone,
This week marked one of my favorite holidays of all time: DIWALI!!!
Diwali signifies and celebrates the triumph of good over evil, of righteousness over treachery, of truth over falsehood, and of light over darkness.
This festival of lights (“Diwa” or “Diya” means “lights” which is represented by the little lamps that we light in rows) is very special and rooted in deep meaning of Positivity and Light over all darkness.
It means so much to me and my family, and I wanted to bring some of that positivity to you and your family too, regardless of your ethnicity, religion, or creed!
Wishing you all a very very Happy Diwali!
May this year be full of Light, Health, and Joy for you and yours!!
❤️🪔🌟🪔🌟🪔🌟🪔❤️🙏🏼

Hi everyone!
When I started my Yoga journey, it was honestly to get a different type of Power strong workout😅. I’d leave those hot yoga practices dripping with sweat and feeling so empowered💪🏼! I loved transitioning into and out of all of the arm balances and inversions🤸🏽♀️.
I have always been drawn to structured Yoga practices⛩.
But in some of my more recent yoga practices, I have started moving where my body takes me📈.
It’s just the part of the my journey that I am walking through right now. 🏞
And I have to say, I’m really loving this new type of Yoga Flowing🌬!
Pictured here is a variation of Twisted Standing Pigeon Pose 🔀🐦.
This pose is a great hip and chest opener (win and win!)❣️.
Hip openers are great for releasing tension and can even help with releasing stress 😩and worry if that’s a focus or intention of your practice😎.
Chest openers are amazing for resetting our emotions and make us open to giving and loving more easily💕.
I didn’t realize how much I needed this pose in my life especially these days 💗💪🏼😅!
I hope this inspires you all to…✨
Reach for new heights🏙… but make sure to stay grounded too 🌱❤️!

Hi everyone! How are you guys?! 😊
I’ve been taking a little break from social media 😇. It’s been an interesting week calling for Introspection and Recentering😌.
I will say, I used to be much better about the above. It’s good to do this (Introspection and Recentering) regularly in our lives so we can Grow 🌱and Evolve♻️ into an even better version of ourselves!
I invite you to take some time with yourself and take inventory on how your Growth is going 🌳.
Check in with yourself, see what needs tuning up, and what can be expanded upon💗.
You are going in the right direction of your journey🥾, you just might need a little reset in your Growth🏞!
How is your journey going this week? ❤️🌱🙏🏼

Hi everyone! 👋🏼 Here are some thoughts for today 😇
Sometimes life pulls us in so many different directions ➡️⬇️⬆️🔜🔚⤵️, it’s hard to keep in mind our priorities ☝🏼or even what is on the “must-do” list versus the “wish-could-do” list😁!
In those moments of things piling on and on📚, the best thing you can do for yourself could be something as simple as slowing down⛔️, talking a little 30-second “brain break” 😌during your busy work day, cruise out for a little walk at lunchtime🌳, watch the sunrise (or sunset!)🌅, anything that releases your mind from the lists, tasks, and speed of the day 🙂.
Pictured here is one of the gorgeous sunrises here in Dallas this week🌆. Really the colors have been amazing and vibrant all week, but this one was particularly beautiful!
It reminded me that, of course there are things that must get done day-to-day 📝, but there is so much more out there that is bigger than us🌎! It helped put things into perspective for me and reset my mind back to place of positivity ☮️🕊.
Here’s to finding your reset button today to start your week off in a positive and happy way too!! 😌🙌🏼🎈
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Hi everyone!
In this ever-changing and uncertain world these days 🌎, if you are feeling stuck😖, struggling with a certain task or feeling🧐, or just have a good ol’ fashioned case of ennui😕, it might help if you…
Change Your Perspective! 🤩
Whether that means seeing things from the other person’s point of view (if there is a point of discussion)🙂 or just changing direction within your own heart💗, studies show that if you alter your neural pathways 🧠 to adjust your own perspective, you will most likely find a new path 🏞to an even better solution than you might have found in the first place!
This photo was taken on a morning bike ride with the Fam❤️❤️❤️❤️! We discovered a new trail with gorgeous views of the Dallas skyline 🌇!
Instead of right side up, I just thought it would be more fun to be upside down🙃! A new perspective with which to view the city! 😇
It was inspiring and so beautiful to be surrounded by nature 🌳🌱and still enjoy the city’s beauty 🏙as well (what a cool new vantage point! Hence the topic 😇!)!
Here’s to finding some new perspectives within yourself this week🎆. Who knows, you might just discover something new and exciting too🌌😍!

Hi everyone! It’s New Yoga Pose time! 🤸🏽♀️
Check it out to the left!
This pose is called…
Shrivatsasana which is a pose representing the Buddhist symbol of the Endless (or Eternal) Knot. 🪢❤️
This pose is an unusual one in Yoga. It is the Yogic depiction of the Endless (or Eternal) Knot. 🪢
This Knot and Pose symbolize the ever-changing life path. It’s a pose that intertwines the past and the present and reminds us that our path of wisdom, compassion, and spirituality is infinite. 💫👣❤️
Some say this pose also can be called the “Love Knot” as it represents the intertwining/union of Wisdom and Compassion. The knot has no beginning or end… 💞
It looks simple enough, but it gets complicated really quickly as you intertwine your arms and legs. And I will say, you’ll definitely feel your legs burning if you’re doing the pose right and hoooolding for the exhale 😅🌬!
Try this pose out and find me on Instagram (@jeetvictoryyoga) so I can see your interpretation!! 🪢❤️🙌🏼
Wish you all a great week ahead! And remember, love wins always. ❣️🙏🏼

Hi everyone!
I am so excited today and am writing to you with my heart full of Joy! 💗
Guess what?! ❓👀
We have reached an EXCITING milestone…
Jeet Victory Yoga (JVY) is officially 1 Year Old!!! ❤️🎋🙌🏼
I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since daring to have this idea 💡, coming up with the name 🎋, making a website (on no tech training lol!), programming the website, marketing (lite), and so many other things, all leading to getting to bring my passion of Yoga to more and more people!! 💫🤸🏽♀️🧘🏽♀️💻🥼❣️
I am sending out Gratitude and Love to everyone who has made this fledgling Passion Project a Reality! ❤️🌷🙏🏼
Big thanks to my life partner and hubby for his huge support and comic relief throughout all of this especially when things got crazy or frenzied (like when I realized I’m terrible at tech and marketing lol)! 🙃
I am sending the biggest Thank You to YOU all for your support and for allowing JVY to bring Joy, Power, and Victory to everyone who joins us for Yoga and is a part of our journey! ❤️💫🌌
Can’t wait to see what unfolds next year! ☀️💞🌠
Thank you all again so much, and I’ll see you on the mat ❤️🙌🏼💫!

Hi everyone! Today, I thought I’d sent out this thought :-)
This pic is of when I was trying out getting into some different arm balances and just kind of playing around with my Yoga practice and Yoga poses ☀️🎉.
Now don’t get me wrong- I love a strong intense Yoga flow as well as the next guy 💪🏼😇.
But on this day, it was just a light and fun practice for me. I was still sweating by the end and torched a ton of calories. But it was more of an unstructured practice for me. Just me, myself, and I 😃😅🙃.
I realized I am thankful and grateful to be able to enjoy time to myself, by myself. ❤️
I felt light and happy after my Yoga practice and throughout the next days just because I spent sometime with a less intense focus and shifted instead to fitness with more fun! 💫☀️🙌🏼
Try it out this week- switch out one of your intense days for a workout that is more lighthearted! 😃
Send me a message through our Contact Us page (linked below “Send me a message!”) and let me know how to goes!
Happy Sunday fam!! ❤️☀️🙌🏼
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Happy Sunday fam 🎉!
Today I thought I’d write about taking inventory within yourself 💡. Try to Check in with yourself and your mental health, especially with the way the world is moving these days 🌎🙏🏼
At our house, it’s end of summer camps, back-to-school prep (and some nerves about school starting up again), Covid numbers rising, et cetera, et cetera… 🌤📚✏️⚠️
When things get overwhelming, just take a deep breath, turn inward even if it’s just for 30 seconds, and take 5 deep breaths💨.
Try to say a Mantra, something like “I am Enough.” “Yes we can.” “This is going to be just fine!” Anything that is short that you can repeat and draw some solace from is a winner 🌻.
So, during one of my workouts this week which was a Strength Training workout (💪🏼!), I checked in and took a quick Garudasana 🦅variation, or Eagle Pose, to twist out some of my nerves and distractions!
Garudasana is a twisting posture that encourages release of toxins and tension in your whole body 🔀. Try to incorporate this pose into your workouts this week and let me know if it helps to release some of your stress 🦅❤️🙌🏼!!
I hope this helps you as you move through your week! Let me know how it’s going by sending me message on the webite here at the Contact Us page (link below) or on Instagram @jeetvictoryyoga !
Sending Love and Light to you and yours ❤️☀️!
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Hey guys! Just putting this out there for today, and for a change, I’ll keep it short and sweet! 😇🤗😍
These two photos are two different types of Yoga:
The Top photo is of one of my favorite arm balances!
The Bottom photo is Meditation, also a very important part of Yoga.
The point is: BOTH are fully very much truly Yoga.
Your version of Yoga, whatever it is, is exactly that: Yoga. 🤩
So keep doing *Your* Yoga! Whether it’s a chill flow, a few poses at the start or end of your power lifting, or some killer arm balances with a Power Vinyasa flow!
Whatever is Your Yoga, keep on my friend! Stay strong and stay positive!! 🌠🙌🏼
Keep the good Yoga vibes going! ☀️💞

Hi everyone!
Today’s message is simple:
Be present with wherever you are and with whomever you are! 💫
Enjoy the beauty of nature around you and try to take the time to enjoy the little things in life. 🌳🌻☀️
This is one of the beautiful sunsets we experienced last week on our family vacation. The sun was this gorgeous fiery orange color as it moved across the evening sky! It was so powerful and beautiful! ❤️🌅
We were outside at a patio eating dinner and just stopped to enjoy the sunset together. I can’t remember the last time we did that especially as a family, but I made a mental note to try to enjoy like that at least once or twice a month! 🌟🌙🌲
Set small goals like that and see if it increases your joy day-to-day! 💞
Have a great week and keep me posted on it goes!! ❤️🙏🏼💫

Hi everyone! We just came back from a family vacation out near the beach, a bay, and LOTS of nature. Here are some thoughts about my time there!
This week, try to:
Strike a pose! Reverse Warrior, or Viparita Virabhadrasana, can be a great pose for a quick side body stretch in any practice or type of workout. 🏋🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️👟🙌🏼
It strengthens your hips, quads, and torso, and it also increases whole-body flexibility, so it’s a total win-win-win of a pose! 💪🏼❤️🙌🏼
Try working this pose into your workouts this week and tag me to let me know how it goes!! 😅😇
I hope you can try to Strike a Pose, in nature would be even better, this week and send me a photo if you want!
Or take a pic, post it to Instagram, and tag me (@jeetvictoryyoga)!
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi
PS- it was SO refreshing to get to practice Yoga in nature! 🌲🌳🐦🦋❤️🙏🏼

When everything in the world feels upside down, sometimes a different vantage point can bring some clarity! 🙃🔎
Give this pose, or any other one that seems out of reach, a try. I’ll bet you’ll surprise yourself with how things turn out! ⭐️💪🏼
On another note, I can’t believe it, but tomorrow marks my anniversary of completing my tough and thorough and self-actualizing Yoga Teacher Training certification!! 🎓❤️🙏🏼
Sending big love and gratitude to all of you!
Thank you for being a part of this journey and for making Jeet Victory Yoga a reality! 🌱🌿💞🙏🏼
I am going to continue in my journey to bring positivity, yoga, and wellness to anyone and everyone because Every Body is a Yoga Body 🌟🙌🏼❤️! Thank you all for being my inspiration 😍🌟🙌🏼

Hi everyone! I thought I’d share a little window into my life…
I know it’s sounds crazy, but I am a *big* fan of a good 5am workout - it starts the day off right for me 🎉☀️
Pictured here is part of my Cooldown from one of my 5am Yoga-in-my-Closet workouts during one morning ❤️💪🏼🌟!
(Yes, I do Yoga in my closet in the mornings on my Yoga days 🤣! It started out as a quiet way for me to get in a workout while my boys were babies, but it’s kind of stuck with me and is still my happy place 💞❤️)!
This is your friendly reminder to make sure to Warmup *and* to Cooldown with each workout to make sure your body stays strong and healthy as you get stronger and more fit!! 💪🏼🌟
Don’t forget to help your body recover as you build Strength and Muscle mass ❤️🙏🏼😇!
Have a great and healthy week!!

Hi fam! As I have alluded to, there’s been some things going on our end- house, health, etc. I am working staying positive and balanced to keep my family floating on and happy! 🌊❤️🙏🏼
And I have to say, it’s working! My boys are amazing and helping so much with the process which is very cool to see the kind souls they are evolving into 🌟❤️
In one of my workouts this weekend, I made a point to work on core inbetween yoga flows and weight sets. 💪🏼
I happened to pop into Reverse Plank, Purvottanasana, (couldn’t find a table emoji lol) which is a great pose to work on core, glutes, and spinal stabilization. Read: it’s GREAT for you esp if you spend a lot of behind a computer screen💻😇 to stretch and not get weak in your core!
This Purvottanasana pose was unique in that the pic captured me looking at myself in this pose in our home gym mirror.
And I’m sad to say that I thought first of the imperfections I saw 😬. However, I realized I did this and quickly reset! 🤗And then I thought:
“I am stronger more capable than I think.”❤️
“I can solve problems creatively.” ❤️
“I am not alone and have a community and village to help.”❤️
The positive mindset made ALL the difference as I know we have all experienced. ☀️
So, big picture: Life happens. Stay positive and keep a smile on your face! You’ll get through it! ❤️
And feel free to reach out with where you’re struggling, I’d love to help you shine brighter ❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼🌟
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi
And PS- Happy happy Father’s Day to the amazing Dads out there 🙌🏼!!

Hi everyone,
Cruising into Dancer pose, or Natarajasana, 💃🏻this weekend while doing an outdoor workout with my boys, I fully confirmed that my flexibility for any type of backbend is pretty much gone ☹️ for a variety of reasons like injury etc... 😬
I’m not going to lie, this bummed me out because it makes some poses way harder and other poses totally impossible (like Wheel Pose!)! ⚙️
However, I am still smiling 😃 because:
1. My boys were cracking me up as I was falling out of the pose so my frame and timer is totally off but I kept this pic because they were being so supportive and funny! 😘
Also I’m smiling because:
1. My body is still strong. 💪🏼
2. I have to make my peace with the fact that I am where I am and that is where I’m supposed to be. 🌟
3. I am so blessed to have a body can still move in so many different ways! 🙏🏼
When Life teaches us these little lessons, remember to listen and adjust... because something Good will come along soon enough!! 🌟❤️🙏🏼
Hang in there for the journey and let the good times roll!
With love,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Hi everyone, this week’s Blog is a little reminder of the following…
Sometimes you soar!
And sometimes you have to just reset ✨
These options and everything in between is all part of your story. Every step and every part is important and serves a purpose that might not be clear right away, but it will come together in the end! 🌟❤️🙏🏼
This is just your friendly reminder to keep walking through your journey! ❤️
Tell me what you’ve been stepping into lately! I’d love to hear about it 😊
Have a happy and safe weekend as we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country so we can live freely as a nation 🙏🏼🇺🇸✨.

Hi everyone,
I had a very special experience yesterday where I got to teach Yoga in a Park! 🌳☀️
The most special part was that it was a collection of some of my very sweet patients and their families (faces blurred here of course) who wanted something different from their routines, a little extra positivity and energy, and a good workout! 🌟✨
I am so proud and honored to have been able to bring Yoga to more people, and I am humbled by their willingness to learn something new! ❤️☀️
To all of the families out there, I am sending you gratitude for allowing me to lead you in a Yoga practice together! It was my joy and my pleasure ❤️🙌🏼

Hi everyone!
I am writing this Blog posting right after I just taught a Power Yoga class and I feel so energized from the group!! 🔥✨☀️
I am feeling even more grateful for each and every one of you. YOU are the reason why Jeet Victory Yoga is a reality and why it is thriving! Thank you all so very much for joining me on this journey! 🌳
You are so inspiring (yes YOU!), and you guys are the reason why I am continuing on this path! 😍
I wanted to give an especially big shoutout to my parents who have been at every single class since JVY’s inception. I am forever thankful and grateful!
I’ll stop here before I get too cheesy, but thank you so much for your continued love and support. I look forward to seeing you at one of my classes either next time or in the near future ❤️🙏🏼💞!

Hello my friends and family! I took last week off to reset and enjoy where I was in the moments of the days. It was refreshing, and I highly recommend you do the same every now and then!
Today’s message is short and sweet:
Take a pause and have a little flair of FUN today! 🙌🏼
Take a spin in your walking path, take a quick fun yoga pose in between your sets, do a little two steppin’ on your walk to your car (either is the Texan in me or it’s my love of memories of old school DMB- it’s a win either way), whatever you can do to add a little pep to your step! ❤️☀️🎶
Science has proven that this can increase your endorphins, increase your brain plasticity, and just make you HAPPIER! 😃🎉
You’ll surprise yourself with how much lighter you feel! 💕
Let me know how it goes! :-)
Xo❤️

Hi everyone, I have been thinking about this a lot lately, so wanted to share it!
Just to bring it back to the OG (original):
Namaste ≠ “na ma stay in bed”
Namaste ≠ “na ma stay here”
Namaste = I bow to the divine in you = I revere you = I bow to you out of respect ❤️🙏🏼
Namaste is part of a powerful vernacular. It’s disarming and it is inviting peace. ☮️
We could use more Namaste in this world! Pay it forward as you move through this week if you can!
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

I am feeling joyful and grateful these days and wish the same for you!
I hope your April is off to a great start! April means “to open” in Latin!
April is traditionally a time of growth and moving forward in new and positive ways. 🌱💫 Sooo, Try some new (or any!) yoga poses in your workouts this month to see if you can grow and gain strength in a new way! 🌻💪🏼
In the second half of this frame, I am taking Vasisthasana (Side Plank) Pose with a Tree Leg variation for my top leg 🌲.
To do this variation safely, make sure to plant your top foot above☝🏼 or below👇🏼 (but not on) your knee joint! 👏🏼
I hope this month brings you a renewed spirit, healthy living, and some fresh blooms of new directions of growth for you!! 🌼🌿❤️

Thought for today…
Try to Find the Balance that brings you a smile even in the hardest times! 😁
That’s what I’m trying to do here while doing this Parsabakasana (Side Crow) arm balance! 😇
We are pulled in so many different directions on the reg. Find what brings you joy, and point your energy in that direction! You’ll soar with it! ❤️💫🙌🏼
Here’s to having a balanced week and smiling through it all!
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

Hey there gorgeous (that’s YOU!)! Give us a SMILE 😁
The science of Smiling has been studied extensively and quite intensely. There are mounds of studies that go into the intricacies of smiling as it relates to recognition of facial cues, how faces around you are perceived when you’re smiling versus when you’re not, and even the pathophysiology of the effects of these facial muscle movements.
The Big Picture is this:
1. Smiling increases feelings of Happiness because it increases release of certain neurotransmitters (dopamine and serotonin, aka The “Happy” Hormones).
2. Smiling decreases stress and anxiety by decreasing levels of the stress hormones in our body Cortisol and Epinephrine.
3. Smiling lowers heart rate and blood pressure as secondary outcomes of lower stress levels overall.
The amazing thing is that these intricate processes occur whenever we smile, regardless of it is a smile in a time of stress or a time of joy. (!!)
So whether you’re doing a killer workout, lifting more, holding a tough Yoga power pose for the thousandth time, having a crazy day at work, and even if you’re truly joyful, you’ll feel better and your whole body will benefit... when you smile!
So, take a second to SMILE this week, even if you are stressed! Your body and mind with thank you :-)
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

“...Let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Smilers never lose
And frowners never win...
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in.”

Just sending a little positivity and light your way! Hope you all have a great start to the week on this Sunday!
And remember to Let the Sun Shine in 🎶❤️🙌🏼🔆!

Hi everyone! So, my family and I took at trip to the mountains to trek around and enjoy the snow in the New Mexico Rockies, and it was oh so much fun! I think I enjoyed all of us being together the more than anything else on this trip…
When I took this pose on our family time together, I was feeling just Happy to be healthy and spending time with my family!
Happy Hurdler Pose (Eka Pada Koundinyasana II)!!
The pose didn’t come out perfectly (legs could be more straight!), but I remembered to appreciate where I was that day and be happy with whatever I could do.
I invite you to Remember to meet yourself wherever you happen to be in any moment, and take your journey one step at a time ❤️👣🙏🏼
That’s my thought for this week (I kept it short for once haha!) :-)

Greetings from the beautiful Angel Fire, New Mexico! My fam and I are taking a few days to trek around the mountains🏔 so I thought I’d bring you...
Mountain Pose, aka Tadasana, from the mountains!! 🌄
Mountain Pose is a great pose for strength, and even though it might not look like much, you are building muscle as you maintain this posture! The most important aspect of Tadasana is to set up a good foundation and rise above your body like a mountain 🗻💪🏼🙌🏼
This is a fantastic pose to work into your daily workouts, especially for when you need to regain some Balance in any aspect of your life! :-)
Combine it with some of the other poses you see in my posts like High lunge pose (Uttitha Ashwa Sanchalanasana) or Triangle post (Trikonasana) to make a little flow for the beginning or end of your workout! 💫
Try it out and let me know how it goes! ❤️🙏🏼🎉💪🏼
Wtih gratitude,

Happy Valentine’s Day! Most of us are trying to grow and evolve to be the best versions of ourselves, becoming stronger and balanced and all the things!
In case you didn’t know, Yoga can help you get Stronger (and more balanced!!)!
Try doing Surya Namaskar A (Sun Salutation A) for 5 rounds before or after your regular workouts for the next week and let me know how it goes!
I’m happy to help get you Stronger with yoga without risking injury!!
Send me a message in the Contact Us part of the website (link below)!! Or find me on Instagram @jeetvictoryyoga :-)

High lunge pose, Uttitha Ashwa Sanchalanasana, is a great pose for improving your stability and balance (I’m sure you can see a theme of Balance in my posts!).
This is also a great pose for when you are feeling unsure of yourself or if you are more anxious. This pose is a heart opener if you cactus your arms like mine are above - this variation makes one more vulnerable but also more receptive to new ideas and experiences!
Try it out and see what comes your way ❤️🙌🏼💫🙏🏼
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

For this weekend’s blog, I had the following thought:
We all have so many things on our proverbial plate (👶🐶😷✍🏼👩🏽💻👨👩👦👦☔️🍎🍋⚽️🏀🎼🚲🏥🛁📚), and it is so easy for us to get lost in the shuffle of making it through all of our lists and things to do.
So I thought I’d put this out there for you ❤️:
Here’s wishing you a moment to enjoy what surrounds you...
Slow down, my friend, if that’s an option for you.
Look around, there’s wonder everywhere 💫
Here’s to your inspiration to come 🌟❤️🙌🏼
Also, I wanted to thank everyone who supported the JVY Power Yoga class this morning, whether you joined in for the class, or even if you just sent me some good vibes, I am thankful for your support!

For today’s post, I wanted to mention another way Yoga might help you and/or someone you know! 😇
I don’t know about you guys, but I am having some major neck and back pains these days, especially when I have a lot of things on my plate that require more screen time: charting, finding fun recipes to cook for my fam, figuring out what my 6-year-old did in first grade today because he insists they only sang about dinos and cupcakes all day. 😆
To prevent injury or muscle tightness, I hope these different yoga poses and stretches will hopefully help straighten you out so you can go back to your busy, multi-tasking, doing-all-the-things days! 🙃
The science of stretching and specifically yoga stretches speaks for itself and has been published numerous times for decades at least. 🤓🙌🏼
To put it simply, as summarized from Harvard Health Publishing, University of Chicago review articles, and countless other sources:
“...Research has shown that stretching can help improve flexibility, and, consequently, the range of motion of your joints. Better flexibility may: Improve your performance in physical activities and decrease your risk of injuries.”
Staying stagnant increases this risk of injury due to the effect stasis has on shortening muscular length, for example, that would then cause that muscle to not able to extend fully when called upon for activity.
Maybe you can try, if you’re not already doing this, taking a few moments every hour from sitting to stand up, move your spine, and stretchhhh it out!
Hope you have a light and flexible week ahead!! 🌟🙌🏼❤️
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi
Sunday, January 10, 2021
For today’s message, I thought I’d talk about something that I have been working on a lot lately: Staying balanced.
We have to know when to push forward in life, but there is also great value in knowing when to scale it back. 🙃😇
Taking a moment to yourself and reflecting inward has huge value in your thoughts and actions thereafter, and just in how you move through your every day life.
So, power through for sure when the time is right!! 💪🏼🎉
And take it down a notch when your mind, body, and soul call for that too. 🙏🏼
Wishing you Balance this week as you juggle everything fantastically through it all!!
Poses:
1. Garudasana (Eagle Pose) - this pose really does a great job of challenging your balance. The way to stay in this twisted balance pose is to pick your Drishti (your non moving focal point), sit low enough in your hips, and keep the elbows in line with the shoulders.
2. Svarga Dvijasana (Bird of Paradise) - this is such a tough balancing power pose. You can do it with full extension of the lifted leg, or keep it a little bent to help your balance of course. The trick to staying balanced in this pose is to slowly raise your gaze as you elevate your leg in the bind and try to keep your shoulders level!
3. Me! aka A Work In Progress trying ❤️🙏🏼 #nofilter
In all of these poses, if you fall out of the pose or can’t do the pose to the “full expression,” guess what? Whatever you CAN do is still yoga!
Enjoy playing with your balance this week! ❤️
With gratitude,
Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

With the new year upon us, some of you might be finding the energy to try new things, set up new goals, and just get reinvigorated!
I am reminded of what one of my younger patients (she was 6 years of age at the time), told me when I asked her about 1st grade:
She said, and I quote: “It’s going only okay right now, but you know what, I know I can do it bc Big Girls Can Do Hard Things.” (!!!!)
She is one of my inspirations for LIFE!
So, I thought I’d break down a harder Arm Balance pose, like Running (Wo)Man, aka Eka Pada Koudinyasana II, to show you how to try it at home!
The last year taught us many things including, when things get tougher, we actually DO get stronger and more resilient!
So, go on, shake your tail feathers, try something new and hard.
Because, you know, YOU can do hard things too ❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼🌟
1. Start in down dog with your hips high.
2. Bring your Right Foot to the outside of your Right Hand.
3. Shift your Right Hand to behind your Right Foot to where your Right thigh is resting on your Right Tricep.
4. Adjust your Left Hand to the same line as your Right Hand…
(Continued below!)
Sunday, January 3, 2021 (cont…)
You might have to reset yourself…
5. As your shift your weight forward and try to float your Right Foot off of the ground!
6. Then pull belly button to your spine, engage your core, and try to float and lift you back Left Foot as well!!
(Continued below…)
Sunday, January 3, 2021 (cont…)
Like in life, sometimes the pose you’re going for just doesn’t work out. Your body says: “Not This Time!” And that’s still yoga!
Just get up, dust yourself off (sometimes literally), and try it again!
(Continued below…)
Sunday, January 3, 2021 (cont…)
So you try again, and gues what?!
Tadaaa!!! You’re in Running WoMan pose!! So cool, I knew you could do it!
Here’s to a Powerful start to your 2021!

Shamita, aka Dr. Yogi Trivedi

After a run and holiday family football game in the park (where there were no other people!), yoga in the park seemed like a good idea! Hope you and yours are finding ways to do All The Things while staying balanced this holiday season 🌟❤️🙏🏼!
For those interested, the poses and benefits are:
1. Wide Leg Seated Side Stretch (Parsva Upavista Konasana) - good stretch for hamstrings - good for after a run!
2. Half-split pose (Ardha Hanumanasana) - hip opener that stretches hamstrings and calves as well as the hip flexors - good in preparation for arm balances or splits (!)
3. Peaceful Warrior Pose (Shanti Virabhadrasana) - great for opening chest and rib cage - great side body stretch and for strengthening core 💪🏼
4. Triangle Pose (Trikonasana) - good for strengthening abs and back as well as lower extremities - improves balance and is a great core strengthener ✅
Try incorporating some of these into your warmups or cool-downs and see how you feel!
Wishing you love and light! 🌟❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼

Hi everyone! I have been thinking about this and thought I’d share it:
In these times, when we are pulled in many different directions at the same time, it helps to remember that patience, balance, and perseverance will always carry you through! ❤️💪🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
Remember that when things get overwhelming, take a breath and maybe a detour - you’ll still end up where you were going, but you just took a different path.
Here’s to a happy holiday season to you and yours!! ❤️🌟🙏🏼

These last couple of days, we have been trekking through nature, and I have been finding a lot of joy in nature mirroring yoga asanas (Tree pose, Vrikshasana, variation pictured here!).
And then nature showed love in turn (little heart shape hollowed out naturally in the rock, pictured below!)!

I had an exciting weekend - I got to teach a wonderful group of family and friends for an online Jeet Victory Yoga class!
These are just a few snaps from my Powerful Flow yoga class this weekend! It was exciting, invigorating, terrifying, and exhilarating all at once!
(There were more people who came than pictured here but I didn’t get a group pic of everyone bc I’m still figuring it all out 😆!)
I am so very grateful to my squad who showed up for me and also for my crew who wanted to be there!! This endeavor truly takes a village and I’m so proud to be a part of this group of amazing people. 🌟
Thank you to all who came and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at a class at some point in the future!! 🙌🏼❤️🙏🏼
And also: Happy Diwali and Sal Mubarakh to those celebrating! May the divas lit this year bring light and joy to you and yours all year long 🌟❤️🙏🏼

What a historic end to this election. In the end, we can now say again:
Telling the truth matters. Being a good person matters. Character matters.
And now we can reaffirm to little girls everywhere that regardless of your color, creed, or beliefs, you CAN, in fact, do literally ANYTHING 🙏🏼🎉💙
With gradtitude,

To help alleviate the weight of recent events, we added some whimsy to our lives for Halloween!
Rosie the Riveter became… YOGI the Riveter*!! :-)
*See below!
Hope everyone is doing well and that you are also finding some whimsy in your life!

“Yogi” the Riveter practicing Warrior 3! We thank the real Rosie the Riveter for mobilizing women getting into the workplace and for much more…

This was a really heartbreaking week around here. When good humans are taken from us too soon, it leaves us heartbroken, confused, and deeply saddened. When it hits so close to home, everything is amplified.
It is hard to see that there is Light even in this sea of darkness... but we have to remember that there is, in fact, Light. We will see the flickers of this Light in time, and I have to believe in the power of Light to pull us through this difficult time. 🌟
And to the amazing sweet Soul who has departed, safe travels as you find Eternal Peace. You will be missed immensely. I hope we hear your laugh fill The Space Between soon, and often. 💞
Photo credit goes to my parents in The North ❤️ Thank you for sharing this natural beauty with us all 🙏🏼

Here are a few more pics expanded and zeroed in because I was so excited to vote!
Also Wishing everyone a Very Happy Navratri to all as we embark on the celebration of Light over darkness! 🌟❤️🙌🏼

Strike a pose!
I felt the urge to take an Ardha Chandrasana (half moon pose) variation during dinner prep this weekend! There was a lot going on needless-to-say 😆
This pose is all about finding balance, strength, and coordination. All of which I needed both in dinner prep and in life this weekend to keep up with my family!
My hope here is to remind you that yoga is a way of life and does help with strength and balance overall. But there is also a playful side of yoga which helps keep things positive and light! 🌟❤️
Sending you positive and balancing vibes 🙌🏼💞🙏🏼!!

In this world’s ever-changing landscape, we must remember to stay balanced, re-center when necessary, and stay true to your beliefs. ❤️
On a run with my family this weekend, I was inspired to take a quick posture:
Pictured here: transitioning to Flying Pigeon (full pose is with back leg extended).
This is a pose that takes extra concentration requiring turning inward on oneself in order to find strength to externally achieve this posture. This pose often mirrors life (especially true these days)... 🙏🏼 Remember: you are strong and you are powerful!
To that end: Pleasure check to make sure you are registered to vote. And then actually VOTE on November 3rd (or before this if Early Voting is an option for you) so your powerful voice is heard. 🌟

For today’s post, I thought I’d talk about inversions (which I love!).
I arrived at Headstand, Shirshasana (first picture), a few years ago and am headed toward forearm stand, Pincha Mayurasana (second picture).
[The wall behind me is so I don’t come crashing down! I am not using the wall to invert in these poses :-) ]
I am working on consistency, staying centered, and calming my mind in this poses (and in life!). I love inversions because they challenge how we are balanced in the world. For me personally, inversions evolve my Asana practice but also evolve the deeper lays of yoga/life for me as well.
I am inspired to elevate to the next level. Just like those before me have done. And like those after me will achieve. #RBG
Thank you for continuing this journey with me!

This past week was a tough one. I, as I know we all have at some point, encountered racism and bigotry first-hand yet again.
I beg of everyone to remember:
In a world where you can can be anything,
Choose to Be Kind. :)

As an antidote, the Lights of My Life and I decided to stay positive and discover nature right in the middle of the city! We found a beautiful trail and took a great bike ride while I ran along side :)

I am including some snaps from our trek. In the middle of this trail was a beautiful canvas with an interpretation of Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Just sitting there, leaning against a chain-link fence!
To the artist who left it there:
Thank You! Your talent and whimsy reset my whole mindset and brought me back to remembering that the world is filled with a far majority of good and talented people. I thank you deeply.
I hope for you all that you are finding your resets to carry on with a kind heart and open eyes.

And to RBG, who did more than a lion’s share of the work… “It’s a Silent Steeple, Sail on, take it back, Sail on.”
We will continue the work.

I challenged my strength today by doing Running (Wo)man pose, also known as Sage Koundinya. I invite you to challenge yours as well!
You will be surprised by how strong you really are on the inside and out, especially while doing this challenging arm balance!
Share your story of your inner and outer strength today with those around you. You’ll inspire more than you realize!

In navigating this process while managing all things in Life, it’s when thing get the most hazy and confusing when daybreak comes, and we can see the Light again!
To all the warriors out there balancing literally 100 million things, keep going and follow the daybreak - you will have a new brighter light shine upon you!!

Today I am feeling even more grateful than my usual. As I get my proverbial “ducks in a row” for Jeet Victory Yoga to start being able to teach for my own studio, I have been teaching for the studio where I received my amazing and traditional 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. Today, I had the pleasure of having another one of my lovely family members in my class which made it even more fun!
I am so grateful for my whole family and close friends, near and far, who have been so supportive of this journey.
The picture you see here is of rural Newfoundland, where two of my biggest supporters reside. We are far in distance but not in our hearts.
Thank you to these two and the whole tribe for continuing to inspire me to keep on reaching for new heights.

This week has been even more a balancing act than the regular balancing that we do in life! Like doing Bakasana (Crow Pose, pictured here), just like in Life, when we fall out of balance, we just take a deep breath, get right back into it, and try to smile through it!
Here’s wishing you a week of east balancing and smiles when you need to reset!

Today I taught my first Virtual Yoga class, and it was SO different from teaching in a studio. However, I had some lovely and kind students who made this part of the journey a breeze and SUCH a positive experience!
My theme for today’s class was about honoring yourself and your unique experience in this world.
So, to that end, I will say that this journey has been uniquely mine and I am so excited to be on it. Thank you for joining me! I couldn’t do it without the support of my awesome family so big hugs to them too :-)

Time for Yoga of the Day!
All of these poses are variations of the same powerful pose: Uttitha Parsvakonasana or Extended Side Angle Pose.
This is one of my favorite poses because it just makes me feel strong, and if you hold the pose, you are working a LOT of your large muscle groups at once! ❤️ 💪🏼
One of the many unique things about yoga is that it is yours at your level and your pace. 🙌🏼

This pose, Birds of Paradise, is a pose I used to be the able to do with full leg extension. As you can see here, I’m working on getting back to that this morning !! ☀️
In the spirit of living in the present, I’m good with where I am today. It’s not perfect, but it’s me! I hope this inspires you to be at peace with wherever you may be 🌟🙏🏼
