# Turtle Flo Yoga + Reiki > Go Within & Find Your Inner Sparkle ## Posts - [Sedona Arizona Vlog](https://turtleflo.com/sedona-arizona-vlog/): Sedona, Arizona is one of the top destination for yogis and energy healers because of the energy vortexes. So it’s been on my bucket list for a while. I finally got to visit Sedona in September 2019. In this video I share my Sedona trip raw and real. I got to go on a hot air balloon ride which was another bucket list item I got to check off. It was the highlight of this trip. So I hope you’ll enjoy this video and find it informative. - [Mala Beads](https://turtleflo.com/mala-beads/): In this video I show you How to Use Mala Beads for Meditation to Bust Negative Thoughts. It really helps in mantra or affirmation (aka JAPA) meditation to do 108 repetitions without having to count. The repetitive nature is very effective in transforming negative thoughts into positive. Mala means garland, wreath or crown in Sanskrit. Treat mala beads as a sacred object. - [HO'OPONOPONO](https://turtleflo.com/hooponopono/): HO’OPONOPONO is a mantra meditation for forgiveness & love. It’s a tranformative mantra practice of atonement, forgiveness, love and gratitude. It’s a Hawaiian prayer to right the wrong. It’s a great practice to transform the negatives to positives magnetizing your intentions and dreams. - [SA TA NA MA](https://turtleflo.com/sa-ta-na-ma/): Sa Ta Na Ma aka Kirtan Kriya is a mantra meditation for transformation to Break Undesirable Habits. . This kundalini mantra meditation also utilizes mudras (hand gestures) to take it to the next level. - [SO HAM, I AM, HAM SA](https://turtleflo.com/so-ham-i-am-ham-sa/): So Ham means I am that I am, I am that of divine love and light. It’s a great mantra to use during the physical yoga practice to keep the mind still. You can also use it for meditation. I am (fill in the blank) is a powerful affirmation to set an intention. - [Gratitude](https://turtleflo.com/gratitude/): Gratitude Practice to raise your vibration - [Energy Flows](https://turtleflo.com/energy-flows/): Where the attention goes energy flows - [Om aka Aum](https://turtleflo.com/om-aka-aum/): Om aka Aum sacred chant.

Being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement and thought flows inevitably from the previous one. Your whole being is involved, and you’re using your skills to the utmost. - [Yoga Nidra Guided Meditation](https://turtleflo.com/yoga-nidra-guided-meditation-for-sleep-and-relaxation/) - [Supportive Twist: For Lower Back and Digestion](https://turtleflo.com/supportive-twist-for-lower-back-and-digestion/): Happy Fall! Fall is a great time for grounding and detoxification. This restorative supported twist is a great way to achieve both while rejuvenating. If you enjoyed this video please subscribe to my YouTube channel, like, comment and share. - [Thoughtful Testimonial](https://turtleflo.com/thoughtful-testimonial/): I’m so touched by the thoughtful testimonial written by my corporate yoga student, Cristina. I’m humbled and grateful that she took the time out of her busy schedule to write so much more than just the 1 sentence I was expecting. So I thought I needed to show the whole testimonial as a blog instead of just putting an excerpt in the testimonial section. This is why I do what I do. Even if I can make one person’s day better I’ve fulfilled my soul’s purpose. Thank you! I’ve taken yoga classes with Stephanie for several years.  She is a caring and […] - [Go Within & Find Your Inner Sparkle!](https://turtleflo.com/go-within-find-your-inner-sparkle/): The more chaotic the outer world is, the more it helps to go within. Find stillness, peace & joy there unaffected by outer distractions and stimulations. That’s when you can hear Your Truth so you can sparkle as bright as you were meant to. This is the heart of all the yoga classes I teach. It’s the reason why it’s the tagline for turtle Flow yoga. I came up with it during a shower along with the logo and the name. Any form of water helps to bring on great ideas especially when I’m relaxed and open without thinking to […] - [Yin Yoga vs. Restorative Yoga](https://turtleflo.com/yin-yoga-vs-restorative-yoga/): Are you looking to slow down and add a self-care yoga practice into your routine? Are you confused about which style of yoga is right for you? Well, you are not alone. I teach both yin yoga and restorative yoga. I’ve noticed that many people are confused between the two, not just the students but even some teachers as well as studios. It is easy to be confused, as they seem very similar on the surface. So here is a simple list of the distinction between the two: Similarities Both align with the yin energy – still, calm, slow, quiet. […] - [Viparita Karani (Legs up the wall)](https://turtleflo.com/viparita-karani/): Viparita karani (legs up the wall) is one of my favorite restorative yoga poses. Once you get into the pose, just relax, let go and indulge for 5 minutes to as long as 20 minutes to restore and recharge your energy level. Great for: jet lag boosts energy level circulation immune system reduces anxiety reduces stress level digestive system varicose veins rest for feet & heart (with bolster or pillow support) exhaustion mental break   Ways to enhance: bolster or bed pillows under the sacrum and lower back for added inversion effect eye pillow to quiet the mind notice any areas of […] - [Endless Summer Restorative Yoga Daycation](https://turtleflo.com/endless-summer-retreat/): On 08-08-2015 I lead a 1-day restorative retreat at the Keys Creek Lavender Farm in Valley Center, San Diego. I picked this day because it intuitively called out to me and I have a strong connection with the number 8. It turned out to be an auspicious day linked to the Lion’s Gate of Love. It was also during the Venus Retrograde, making it the perfect day to slow down, get quiet and connect to your heart. So the theme was to align with the heart to get in touch with the things you love and value since early on […] - [Fall Into Yoga ~ 14 day Yoga Challenge](https://turtleflo.com/fall-into-yoga-14-day-yoga-challenge/): Join me in this 14 Day Yoga Challenge as we transition into the Fall season.

Please subscribe so you can be notified when new videos are uploaded. Namaste! - [Restorative Yoga](https://turtleflo.com/restorative-yoga/): Over the past weekend I completed the Restorative Therapeutic Teacher Training lead by Jillian Pransky. Below is a picture of viparita karani (legs up the wall) pose I set up during the final exercise. This pose is an inversion that is great for reversing the effects of gravity and improves blood circulation, brain and lymphatic function. It’s amazing how much freedom of the breath can be achieved with each subtle support of the props. The most important point to take away from the training is how our body is intelligently designed to heal itself when the condition is set up […] - [Surfing in Hawaii](https://turtleflo.com/surfing-in-hawaii/): Aloha yogis! How is your summer been so far? I recently went on a vacation to Hawaii with my family and finally got to try surfing for the first time. It’s been on my bucket list for a while now. I was amazed that I got up the first try. It was easier than I thought to get up because of yoga along with a push from the instructor and good instructions. Yoga works all the muscles and organs in the body therefore preparing it for all other types of sports. The body is also less prone to injuries as […] - [Intro to Yoga with Stephanie Kang](https://turtleflo.com/intro-to-yoga-with-stephanie-kang/): Try something new this Spring!

It’s my last day of the of the cleanse! I’m writing this as I’m drinking my last green juice. I am bit hungrier than I was yesterday and still have some cold symptoms. However, didn’t feel sleepy at all. The final morning circle before yoga was very touching and inspiring. There were group of guys who are in recovery that took the step to cleanse for the first time to take it to the next step. Some of them just quit cigarette. Some of them have never done yoga. I eat pretty healthy for the most part except the […] - [Spring Cleanse 2013 - Day 5](https://turtleflo.com/spring-cleanse-2013-day-5/): Wow, it’s day 5 already. Today was a much better day. I still have the cold symptoms so took the time to rest and put self-care at the forefront. I had the best nap this morning after our morning session. I also got an extra almond milk chia shake and replaced one of the green juices with green juice with apple. That helped a lot. - [Spring Cleanse 2013 - Day 4](https://turtleflo.com/spring-cleanse-2013-day-4/): Happy New Moon!!! This new moon is a time for new beginnings and leap forward towards your goals. It gives divine timing a whole new meaning to be cleansing at this time. So blessed to be able to be at day 4 of the cleanse. Today’s kundalini yoga was more gentle and meditative.    Still very sore in the legs so I’ve been walking around like an old lady every time I get up after sitting for a while. - [Spring Cleanse 2013 - Day 2 & 3](https://turtleflo.com/spring-cleanse-2013-day-2-3/): I decided to combine day 2 & 3 because it is hard to remember all the insights from the previous day. So I will write at the end of each day for the next 3 days. Day 2 Whatever tiredness I had from Day 1 went away after the energetic kundalini yoga practice in the morning. I didn’t have much going on until noon to teach my Lunch Refresh (Flow) yoga class and only work onsite for half day. So I had more time to relax. I didn’t feel tired at all and didn’t feel hungry nor have any cravings. - [Spring Cleanse 2013 - Day 1](https://turtleflo.com/spring-cleanse-2013-day-1/): Yesterday was the start of my 6-day spring cleanse. It’s an alkaline juice and kundalini yoga cleanse lead by my lovely mentor Kia Miller. She leads the cleanse twice a year in the spring and the fall to utilize the natural cycle of when the body naturally gets into the cleanse mode. This is my 3rd time doing it with her. Each time I do it I make subtle shifts that aligns to me my purpose, reduce my sugar cravings and better portion control. So I’m committed to cleansing twice a year. - [May The Long Time Sun](https://turtleflo.com/may-the-long-time-sun/): May the longtime sun shine upon you All love surround you And the pure, pure light that’s within you Guide your way home - [Very Excited](https://turtleflo.com/veryexcited/): I’m very excited to launch my yoga website, turtleFlowyoga.com and have this opportunity to share everything & anything about yoga and healthy living with you all through this blog.
