One of my favorite things about living in Nosara is how supportive our community is. I love supporting the businesses here - from my neighbors @nakedfoodscr and @puravidarawfoods where I always know I’ll be taken care of with daily pipa 🥥 and fresh pressed celery juice, and my friends at @mariposapops for organic fruit popsicles on demand. It’s no wonder this place easily became my home. . As I smile after liberating my heart and soul during a beautifully sweaty, sacred @5rhythms @costaricayogaspa, seeing so many wonderful friends on the dance floor, I feel full. Happy. Home. . I feel nourished by tribe, and I am so grateful for the sangha and nourishment that this sweet jungle home gifts me with every day. 💗🌿 . Let’s bliss poolside @bodhitreeyogaresort and refresh with your favorite Mariposa pops after I guide your soulful yoga flow Mondays at 2:30pm and Bhakti Kirtan Tuesdays at 6:30pm. Pure deliciousness 😘 and wild devotion, always. . #playaguiones #nosara #puravidacostarica #homesweetjunglehome
Where is your heart leading you today? My newest piece is up on @luminosity.love honoring @anthonybourdain. "Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown." Anthony Bourdain . I send my gratitude to Anthony's spirit, his exquisite excitement of the unknown, or the “gorgeous feeling” as he calls it - the potential for pure creativity. . Every day, my soul bows in deep reverence to that knowing that brought me to Nosara, Costa Rica. . Our true liberation - in Sanskrit "Moksha" - the place where our grandest visions manifest, or the place where our deep fears wield their havoc. . If I questioned "how," "why," or "what if...." and demanded to know the outcome - I would miss all the divine surprises waiting for me to receive with an open heart. . The unknown is the nothing, with the potential for everything. It is the space before ideas, opinions and beliefs imprint and it is the home for our authentic self before guests arrive and intruders move in. It is, even, the place of enlightenment; for it has that potential. It is where we discover our essence - our unfaltering truth of who we really are - everything else is a shell that we have built up around us in an effort to be a) loved, and b) accepted for who we really are. . We cannot cling to a rigidity. We can, but we mustn’t. We mustn’t for the sake of our spiritual growth, and for the sake of our reason for incarnating in this human body, because the unknown is where the magic happens. As Anthony also says; "Without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, and moribund." I.e. the exact opposite of magic. And where’s the magic in that? 💫💫💫 . The journey continues on Luminosity, my new platform for the spiritual warrior. www.luminositylove.com . 🙏📷 @hampshirefrost . #anthonybourdain #luminary #playaguiones #nosara #puravidacostarica
As a wellness leader and thyroid health expert, I feel it is my responsibility to know and try the holistic practices available to us that may not be commonly known or mainstream. In my quest for evolving my own knowledge, I embarked on a 7-day Liver & Gallbladder Flush and cleanse at an eco-community near my home in Nosara, Costa Rica. . My intention for this journey was to deeply connect with my inner Medicine Woman and understand why I was still having recurring morning brain fog while I am super healthy and active - especially as I eat an abundance of local organic fruits and vegetables, am soy-free, gluten free, alcohol free, substance free, the list goes on. . I love to keep my body and soul light, and clean - in fact, so much so, it has become my career. So, once a week, I’ve been enjoying a daily pipa (coconut 🥥 water) cleanse paired with a morning coffee enema, thanks to a beautiful easy at-home enema kit made by @foretcleanse. I was so surprised with how simple and clean the process is, that I do truly love to treat myself to it. . Combined with the naturally active lifestyle I live, Vitamin D on my bare skin, ions from the ocean, tropical fruits and vegetables packed with phytonutrients, antioxidants, proteins and fiber, clean oxygenated purified water, I cleared my body from years of damage accumulated from a high-stress city lifestyle, vaccines, antibiotics, prescription medication, oral contraceptives, processed foods, refined sugar, gluten and animal proteins contaminated with growth hormones. For years, life was passing me by, and I was not having fun. It’s no wonder I was so sick then. . My weekly ritual has become a habit made holy - as I massage my naked body with Radiance oil - which I created with all organic essential oils to prevent inflammation and support hormones, bless my body, and burn sage and palo santo. Toxins, bye. . The results: A deep richness in my skin tone, more lustrous hair, an overall feeling of illuminated shine and glow, an aura that can be spotted a mile away. A deeper connection with my internal power center, loving my body for her resilience, and receiving deep clarity on my soul’s purpose on this planet. ☀️
Hello sweet friends! I am going off the grid for a week deep in the jungle as I am embarking on a liver and gallbladder flush with juice fasting enriched with raw superfoods and @pachamama_eco_community self-grown medicinal plants, as a cleanse not only resets my body on a physical level; I also sharpen my intuition and feel lighter and experience a deep communication with spirit. I am excited to receive clarity and gifts from Mother Nature. . The perfect prerequisite for this retreat has been a 14-day chakra cleanse with @mindfulhealthnyc and I highly, highly recommend this cleanse wherever in the world you are. Especially if you have been experiencing thyroid or hormonal imbalance, joint pain, food sensitivities, digestion challenges, headaches, skin problems, or mental fatigue. . I feel clear, revitalized and grounded after two weeks of smoothies and fresh plant-based meals I created with local fruits and vegetables inspired by her recipes. And now my Thyroid Yoga class is included in the Mindful Health Cleanse bundle, so in addition to receiving all the cleanse goodies and detox supplements, you’ll also receive a 75-minute video download from yours truly ❤️ I hope you enjoy this amazing cleanse as much as I did!!! You can get your Mindful Health Chakra Cleanse x Thyroid Yoga Bundle on www.bit.ly/mindfulthyroidcleanse . I’ll see you in a week after I return home from my journey at Pachamama. Stay true 🙏💛🌿 . 📷 @hampshirefrost .

So let’s talk about Manifestation. Yes, it works. Especially here in Nosara where you’ll often hear us talk about how “the veil is thin” meaning life is super tranquilo here and we aren’t distracted by the chaos or “maya,” so manifestations come in a snap. In this moment, standing in a love portal inside a labyrinth designed by my dear friend Cy, a special gift she offered during the Thyroid Yoga retreat here in April, I called in magic. I spoke my intentions and my deepest desires to Father Sun and Mother Earth, my angels and all the great spirit who walk with me. I articulated with clarity and precision, then declared, “I am ready for all the divine surprises that are waiting for me.” As I whispered intimate longings of my soul, the wind whispered back, “Yes, I am giving this all to you now.” . And so it is. Happy full moon 🌕 in Capricorn, loves. . What (or who? 💕) are you calling in? . May you realize the gifts are all waiting for you here. ❤️ . 📷 by the ever so talented @jennaduffy 💛 .

Wow... 2 years ago today, I was sitting on my third day in White Tantra meditation at Ram Das Puri in New Mexico for Summer Solstice. While deep in a kriya, my Thyroid Yoga course launched on @mindbodygreen. During meditation, I prayed my gift would help souls who had been struggling with #thyroiddisease and hormone imbalances. As I saw the course falling into the laps of those who had been seeking, tears came to my eyes. I saw my inner little girl who during the depths of her illness, felt unheard by doctors and disillusioned by the pharmaceutical protocol that was offered to her, wishing she had the support of someone who truly cared. . Streaming down my desert dirt-stained face, I cried tears of joy. Two years later, a dream come reality, thousands have been reached around the world - saving a woman from thyroid cancer and many, many women and men from symptoms that had been masked by pharmaceutical pills - helping everyone who has tuned in to attune to their brilliant inner healer. Thank you #MindBodyGreen for giving me this platform to share in our collective efforts to empower and inspire! . Reading this note fills my heart with so much gratitude... "I am writing to thank you for your class on Thyroid Yoga. In the introduction, you mentioned several symptoms that you experienced associated with #thyroid dysfunction. As I was listening to you, I realized that you were listing many of the same issues I have been experiencing. I thought maybe I, too, may have a thyroid problem. I instinctively reached up and touched my throat as I pondered this possibility. Immediately, I felt a lump on my thyroid. After seeing my physician, having an ultrasound, and a fine needle biopsy this past week, I have been diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. Luckily, and because of you, the prognosis is positive for me, since it was caught so early. That would not have happened without you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your journey & wisdom!" - Cindy Anderson . Thank you to all who have trusted me and shared curiosity for the healing practices I deeply believe in. Thank you for healing yourself, and in turn, healing the world. ❤️ . #playaguiones #nosara
Happy Solstice and new beginnings! I am so excited to share what I’ve been birthing... I am thrilled to announce that I am Editor in Chief of the new online platform Luminosity! . In short; @luminosity.love is a daily pit-stop for the modern spiritualist to check in and ‘get a hit.’ The mission with Luminosity is to hone in on the most respected Luminaries from around the globe - including @mariannewilliamson @eckharttolle @deepakchopra and @estherperelofficial - I’ve curated an online destination to access their teachings all in one place. ❤️ . My aim is to take the fatigue out of where to go in search of your daily spiritual lift. It’s a distillation of all the greatest teachings of our times, and a guidebook on how to navigate the tides of this ever speeding-up world we live in. . It’s host to my original writings breaking down what it means to be ‘spiritual’ in the 21st century. I want to demystify the times and get you out of the confusion and headspin that comes hand-in-hand with the Information Age. Helping you to get savvy with the esoteric renegades and spiritual mavericks of our time, who they are, and how they’re leading the forefront with the information they’ve brought down. . As with everything I do, Luminosity is an extension of my mission to empower every soul in their own conscious self-expression and healing, and I’m excited to go deeper with you via this medium. . I desire to help you customize lofty ideas into ways that work for you, and ground them down into your day-to-day experience of being a modern spiritual being. . For example what does it mean when #MarianneWilliamson says “Remember you are the faucet, not the water.” Or when #EkhartTolle says “You are not your mind.” There is no shame in not really knowing what these mean, and moreover, how to even begin about weaving these threads of wisdom into our own lives in tangible, accessible ways. . Connect with @luminosity.love for all the ways. 💗 . . 📷 @ryanjohnlee . . gold lotus necklace @ashapateldesigns 💛 . #happysolstice #summersolstice #rebirth #luminosity #nosara
“There’s a difference between sensuality and sexuality. Sexuality can exist without sensuality, but WHY would we do that?!!” If you haven’t watched my TV show Sensual Intelligence... you’re going to want to start now. This episode with sex doctor Dr. Cat Meyer @sexloveyoga may really turn you on. . We talk Tantra, fantasies, and spicing things up in the bedroom - whether you’re solo or with a partner. And I am totally almost slipping nip #soembarrasing even for someone so comfortable loving her body! 😆 Why didn’t my producer @focustvnetwork @itsladykitana give me the hint that I was exposed?! Well now you really may be enticed to see this episode 😉 link in my bio or www.youtube.com/user/thefernolivia . 📷 @iamadhikya - I enjoy sensual breathing time on her yoga block as part of my daily love ritual! And restorative bridge is one of my favorite poses of all-time and super yummy to increase circulation in the pelvis and around those juicy hips of yours. 💯#thyroidyoga approved! . #sexloveyoga #repeat #repeatagain ❤️ #doctorsorders 😉
My daily morning ritual: the tide pools at low tide 🧜🏽‍♀️ the breath: microcosmic orbit 💫 feeling the sun penetrate me deep within, the water bathe me in grace. Surrender to the breath and the breath of the ocean holding me. the result: Harmony. Peace. Love. Radiance. . Today, as I began to bike back home after my ritual, a sweet friend kindly remarked to me, “wow, you look like a mermaid.” I respond to her with a big smile, “yes, I am a mermaid. You SEE me. Thank you.” . Waking dreams into realities as I’ve been initiated into @nosaramermaids rocking @jenstones jewelry in this shoot with @surfing_nosara ☀️ . . #mermaidsarereal #mermaidtakeover #homeiswherethemermaidsare #playaguiones #surfnosara #nosara
The surf paparazzi caught me on the way out of my house... can a woman catch a break?! Si 😉 🌊 #happyinternationalsurfingday #everyday #playaguiones . 📷 @harryhamilton
We are BORN free!!! This pose is sooo good for opening the lungs == better capacity to B R E A T H E and in turn, gives space for your thyroid to be more capacious == express yourself!! Bonus points 💫 Add Pranayama (breath) to movement: Inhale lift your elbows up and forward, exhale bow forward toward your bent knee, as you keep front knee at a 90 degree angle over front heel. Back leg is super straight, heel driving back into your past, front knee driving forward, front hip spiraling back, back hip spiraling forward to square your hips forward, giving you more room to flush those adrenals (relieves chronic stress) as you lift up out of your kidneys (your depths; your waters) to open your lungs and lift your currency to find more freedom in your voice, your capacity, your gifts. . The full sequence was published on @mindbodygreen, go check it out on their website or DM me for the link! 🌱🦋 . In all ways grateful to my teachers @katonahyogacenter @thestudio.yoga for their influence in my practice, and for their wisdom I have woven into Thyroid Yoga. It was such a delight to practice with my teachers in New York this week!! . Intrigued? I am practicing on a rooftop in the sky before returning home to #Nosara, continuing my daily beach practice, because my toes belong in the sand. In the meantime... . I am filled with joy to be bringing 💫🙏Devotion in Motion 🦋 🎶 to the rooftop @theassemblagenyc with the very talented musicians @essiejainmusic @patrickglynnmusic. The Assemblage JOHN STREET - Wednesday June 13, 7-8pm. All are welcome, and the event is complimentary. The link to reserve your mat is in my bio, spaces are limited and you will need a rsvp in order to enter #theassemblage. I love you, #NYC. ❤️ . 📷 taken by @nicoletteficchi newest #ThyroidYoga teacher! Find her in LA 🙏🌴 . Styled by @sweatnsk 💫
