A few years ago I worked with a Photographer called Will from https://www.instagram.com/deadlovejunkies/ and his assistance you see here Steve. They came from UK when I was living in Switzerland. We hiked all around the town I lived at the time creating shapes.
These were a few candid funny moments where Steve was such a gentleman not knowing where to look or what to do whilst Will was taking the photos.
We had a good laugh about it as Will caught it all on Camera.
It is moments like these, the in between moments that I cherish the most.
It reminds me how not matter how many times we see a human body there is still that sense of finding comfort with a stranger and respect as we work together. Maybe it is that searching for the understanding of boundaries, safe spaces, yet also professionalism and fun.
There is also that reminder that behind every shoot is just humans creating. Not good or bad or what fantasies we play in our heads on social media of people getting down with it etc. At the end of the day all the stories in our head we tell about others we see online, we are all, all of us really are just walking side by side. Never really knowing what we we are doing but I think we are all just hoping that everyone is comfortable, feeling accepted and at the end of the day having a good time with us, when we are connected. And afterwards they are left with good memories after all said and done and thoughts about us. Well that is what I hope anyway.
I love these shots too because they show that life is purely most magic in the normal moments and meeting people in their humanness not perfection is the greatest gift and most memorable gift. Especially when you can laugh and enjoy the moments and have good memories to look back on.

Michael Phelps Has Won More Olympic Golds Than Mexico
The American swimmer added five gold medals and a silver to his collection in Rio 2016 to take his Olympic medal haul to a record-breaking total of 28. According to Time Magazine, he’s won more Olympic golds during his career than many countries, including Portugal and Mexico, have won since 1896.
This is me taking a shower this morning. I trained for 2 hours. I did an Insanity Asylum Upper Elite and a Flow Movement practice with my coach. Followed by some deep backbend work. After 2 hrs of training I was done and wanted nothing more than a good shower to wash the sweat and burning exhaustion away. This shower is simply a shower until you place your perspective on it. What do you see is the question? Then understanding that is okay but also knowing for me it was just a shower and knowing that is okay too. A shower, a conversation, the food we eat, a touch is all neutral until our imaginations take hold which is so often what happens on social media and that is when it transcends into other meanings within us and others. The conversation then becomes not if how we see it is wrong or right or others, but more about understanding that there are a million different ways to see it and be compassionate and respectful to all so, we can build better connections to ourselves and others.
We socialize sexuality through our imagination. And the central agent of the erotic act is our creativity, our imagination, or ability to renew, our ability to anticipate… We can envision the act without having to actually enact it. And it is the cultivation of pleasure for its own sake.“ Esther Perel
So much of Social media is just this act of imagination and creating a story in our head from something that is originally neutral until we place our imagination on it. Eroticism implies sex as a vibrant and transcendent experience. Perel calls it “a place you go inside yourself with another.” The fuel for this transcendent travel is one’s own individual creativity. And it’s through the exploration of erotic imagination that fantasies arise. Your boundaries become widened and new realities are forged. Thus, the focus of eroticism and erotic intelligence is not “doing sex” but rather “the meaning of sex.” Transcendence is that meaning.
When we view this world we transcend into our own world within our mind. Sexuality is a big part of our play as adults. We upgrade from playing with toys (innocent play) to erotica play (once you know that your mind never goes back fully).
What we must remember is we all hold different reasons for being here and different views for everything we see. There is no wrong or right. The difficulty in this world that is so black and white is to understand this and find ways to harmonize our connections even though they are different so we do not hold invisible barriers to each other and create hate and fear amongst ourselves. Whilst also being open to the views we do not see and that to be a whole human all our feelings need to be accepted and addressed. However, we all must remember we all have a different ways to feel, see, imagine and be human. Remember this and practice compassion and observation and this in turn will create a world of less shame and fear and more wholeness and compassion.

Sports Have Been Played on the Moon
In 1971, Alan Shephard and Edgar Mitchell made history when they became the first people to play sport on the moon. The Apollo 14 astronauts participated in what Mitchell later jokingly described as “the first lunar Olympics”. Shephard hit a golf ball while Mitchell threw a makeshift javelin – it was actually a staff they’d used in one of their scientific experiments.
Part of a coffee Talk creating for p@treon link in socials
Talking about sensuality and how to evoke it through life, reading and every day moments to enrich our lives.
To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to breaking bread.
This was a little piece of free flow yesterday. It is a piece of me playing with my soul and moving. It is about learning and growing and syncing into myself and letting go of all that I am and crave to be just to be here and now.
This is a small example of some of the moves and videos I share on the 10 tier on P@treon and on the two top tiers p@treon link in socials I do teaching and moves like this naked so you can see the human body articulate and understand it further for mind muscle connection.
Let me introduce myself a little bit:
I’m Rhyanna Watson @openheartscanunite on IG. A mum, yoga teacher, fitness trainer, wellness consultant and a person who like most of us has experienced pain and heartbreak, as well as incredible joy and love.
People say social media is not a real place, however it makes a difference to so many lives. It gives a voice, a community, business opportunities, friendships, places for healing, learning and growing as well as the negative like bullying, harassment, non inclusive forms that create mental health issues, depression, sickness, business loss and life loss etc. It is a very important part of our modern day society and can be for healing when used with love, compassion and respect; it can change lives. Just in the last years my friends daughter, Eleanor, found out she had secondary cancer. They were able to raise the money to travel from Australia to America for trials of a cancer treatment to give her a fighting chance to beat this cancer. She is now in remission. My yoga teacher currently his wife Insiya is battling cancer they raised enough money for treatment too. It is a powerful space and just like time only heals when we use it for healing, social media is only powerful and rewarding when used well.
Essentially I am just an ordinary girl trying to do her best. I started instagram in 2014 with the intention of having a space to express myself from the heart in a world where that can often feel tough to do. Including showing images of my own body to encourage others to accept theirs. I had been working in the world of fitness training for several years before this, so it felt like a natural expansion to share some of my experience I had gained online to help others. Plus I had started exploring yoga just the year before and was feeling inspired by the incredible soulful way in which it was allowing me to reconnect with my body, mind and heart after an extended period of trauma, disconnection, sadness, darkness and depression that had led to an attempt on my life.
On social media I want to present many aspects of myself and character from fit, strong and flexible to fun, warm and friendly: from open, honest and vulnerable to playful, sensual and sometimes just real life, showing that I have no idea why I am doing this but here goes it anyway. My goal is to show wholeness - the full spectrum not perfection. I am making a choice to be not just one thing society deems worthy. I am simply being the only person I can be, me, and all of me.
I believe people do not follow me. I believe we are an open hearted community of like minded souls all walking each other home, as we are reconnecting with our authentic selves, accepting responsibility of all aspects of our authentic selves to empower ourselves and others.
My engagement over the years have been deeply impacted on many socials my the algorithms and stigmas and untruths. On instagram have had many people say they stopped seeing my account. On YouTube I have posted a simple bikini yoga professionally shot and had a strike on my account and the video removed for adult content (it stated and nearly lost my account), whilst others post bikini content to their hearts content. I do not wish to pay for growth I wish to be authentic and real but it is very hard to do so when social media and others does not celebrate us or get caught up in stigmas and untruths.
I believe the increase in shadowbanning and blocking/removal of body-positive and sex positive content on social media has occurred due to our inability to separate sexual, sensual and art culture and many pörn sites taking many social media videos on to their sites disrespecting and making everything sexual. So many people have been shamed and punished because of this culture of disrespect and we need to understand we as humans create it by our behaviours, comments and fear and can change it by the way we react and treat each other.
I believe that the future holds possibilities if we work together to educate and share with love, compassion and respect. If we take time to use social media more wisely everything will change. The only constant in life is change. When you are going through a storm you know you are onto something. It is just we have to endure the storm and make sure we do it with kindness as we journey these rough confusing waters together.
Youtube is even more closed than Instagram as mentioned above. Any bikini video or short exercise shorts video is automatically not available for advertisement and is also classified as sexual nature. It saddens me because we are teaching our future generation sexual is everything fitness, yoga and more. However I can go to the beach in my bikini with my daughter receiving no disrespect from others nor am I damaging my daughter. I can go to a sauna in Europe and sit naked with 30 other naked souls and we chat like we are at a coffee table and there is not one complaint about a body, sexual comment, disrespectful actions or judgment’
We need to realise the two fold realties we are building and the harm these algorithms are creating. It is not the body that is the problem, it is the way in which we respond, our true responsibility and game changer. We are educating the perspectives of yöung minds in the wrong way. Social media is so real what we feed our minds becomes reality and this is why we are all struggling on social media for the reality we are creating is harmful, aggressive, disrespectful, fake perfect lives, everything sexual and non inclusive platforms’
I feel very uncomfortable often now on social media. We as content users are getting so much mean-spirited feedback from the platform and people using it. It shows sadly how restricted and conditioned so many people are in their thinking today. In order to make a stand against the haters and these platforms we need to love each other harder. If we reject people's attempts to define us in narrow-minded ways and instead accept responsibility for all aspects of our authentic selves, we empower ourselves in the process.
I do not believe anyone is treated the same on socials and there is so much confusing and injustice.
Yes the algorithm reflects its biases strongly. I do not wish to label the biases or bring any further attention to them. What we focus on is what becomes life. So lets remember we can admire physical form in the same ways as we might admire a painting. However like art the human body only becomes truly great when it makes us feel something more and expand. So let us all start to let others reclaim their bodies and we do the same. Let us all be allowed to experience our home, our masterpieces that we are born with or created.
Let us stop shaming our human bodies they are a gift for life. So many people see it in a sexual way only and are threatened and offended by it and feel the need to judge and make assumptions and critique. Maybe it is time for us all to see this is based on our own limiting learned beliefs and perceptions not the ones we shame and judge and all start working on ourselves and what we can do to make the changes we want to see instead of trying to make it through others.
I believe maybe we should stop asking what is wrong with other people and their choices and behaviours and instead ask ourselves what we need to change in society so that innocent things like nudity and choice of clothing no longer carry these heavy biases and stigmas and power to make people act from a place of judgment, shame and fear and instead give cause for respect, love and celebration’
Here's to you all this holiday season. Thank you for being the change in this world.
Blessings Rhy
Cheers to you all
It has always been fascinating to me how things can be simultaneously true & false, how people can be good & not ideal all in one. How someone can love you in a way that is beautifully unconditional while still conditional too. Discovering honesty in this is terrifying at first, to be an explorer of the human experience means to be pulled through the many tastes, smells & sounds of being alive. By speaking with what is true in the moment we let go of embarrassment, we admit everything on our page, strengthen our voice & pull fears/emotions out from the shadow of shame/avoidance, to in turn move into wholeness. Social media has so much preaching, what is ideal, who is wrong or right & this ends in lots of good advice. But it still leaves us unwhole, as we focus on others instead of our own truths. I can see this every time I write & someone will read the caption & the only focus will be the visual. Or the way the world judges each other through magazines. The words, hearts and souls will be forgotten for the attachment to the visual and our own projection. We think we are helping ourselves & others by shame, judgment or this focus but in the end we never find truth or strengthen our voice this way, to move towards wholeness. The more time we give to the internal realms, the more we will begin to detach from the thoughts, patterns & beliefs that do not serve us. Patterns & beliefs that block & barricade us from our heart and this is the gift of presence, sitting & observing externally but feel peace internally. The calling then becomes we unmask ourselves instead of projecting on others, as the spirit is asking us to move forward to our own healing & help us find our truest self & heart. If you are an explorer of the heart/spirit you will be broken/open & born vulnerable many times in your life. To heal we have to care for both the beauty & the strife in life. To be whole we have to be caring for the ever shifting current of truth knowing there is no right or wrong or good or bad in us, or anyone. There are just our reactions of unaware, triggering, triggered, healing, healed and love (kindness, compassionate observation). When we go into ourselves it brings us both to insanity and revelation. It shows us how if we find the truth we must first connect to the untrue. It is how it teaches us we should not be disheartened when we connect to pain/fear whilst visiting the stillness within. Because on the other side of hurt there is peace & no amount of fear can justify keeping us from fully experiencing life & all the love it has to offer.
One of the reasons I love teaching movement naked is it allows us to see exactly how the body moves and should move. It allows us to build a mind muscle connection like no other. It also helps to see how joints can articulate correctly and incorrectly to avoid injuries and move us towards better movement patterns. For me I started moving like this when I was teaching myself at home. I put a video on and moved naked when I could not understand a movement and reviewed the movement back. For example the infraspinatus muscle. What Is the Infraspinatus Muscle? Your infraspinatus muscle is a thick triangular muscle located at the back of your shoulder. It's attached to the top of your upper arm bone (humerus) and your shoulder blade (scapula). The other rotator cuff muscles are the supraspinatus, subscapularis, and the teres minor. This muscle for me is a muscle that often turns off and causes me shoulder and elbow issues in handstands and backbends. Now when I start to feel these issues I watch how I do not articulate my shoulder well, like shrug and warp cue and start to work on it until it is back in order through visual methods and building exercises in to retrain it.
Here is some of the art and teaching currently on top tiers p@treon link in socials to join and train with me in naked yoga and fitness. Look forward to seeing you.

Happy 1 of December beautiful souls
It was always her reality
That was the biggest mystery

She was light in the darkness
And truth in twisted realities
She was a sign in this world

Happy thanksgiving 🍁 I’ve never celebrated being an Aussie living everywhere but America but I want you all to know I’m grateful for you all.
Today I had to move and get out of my head. Starting the creation process for new dances on p@treon link in socials.
Wanted to give you a snippet of the dance I’ve been working on this morning.
I have also been journaling with Rupi Kaur and came across this beautiful sex positive poem from home body.
I feel a little shy sharing words like this because it’s so powerful in its essence of intimacy with sensuality. I love when people speak their feels and this is helping me heal doing these writing exercises and dancing within my own sensuality.
My body is so hot from wanting you.
I’m spilling by the time we take our clothes off
I want the kind of love that
Transcends me
into another’s realm
I want you so deep
We enter the spirit world
Go from being gentle to rough
I want eye contact
Spread my legs to
Opposite ends of the room
And look with your fingers
I want my soul to be touched
by the tip of yours
I want to come
Out of this room
Different people
- can you do that
Rupi Kaur - Home Body page 81
When I dance I feel all these words- my body comes alive and not only in this poem but in my own mind and soul and my day is brighter.
That’s the power of sensuality to bring the possibilities within our minds to make us feel alive again. Then connect that to sexuality when the blessing arrives and that is where the bounds of real pleasure and heart magic occurs.
Can you feel the sensuality ooozing from this poem and my moves.
In an adult world we forget the magic isn’t sex the magic is the sensuality you bring to sex or any part of life that make the true never ending forgettable experiences from every day drinking coffee, feeling joy again after feeling depression or grief or the act of love with someone you feel home with.
As a human our pleasures are not always prioritized by ourselves or others which is why it is empowering to write sex positive poems or dance. They help you cement the fact that our bodies are not just for pleasuring others. We deserve pleasure too and can create it on our own.
Happy thanksgiving I hope it is full of magic moments

Jimmy Stewart did not want to do "It’s a Wonderful Life"
The lead actor had returned from spending 15 months in World War II combat as a pilot and was considering quitting acting. He initially said a film about suicide was the last thing the country (and he, as someone dealing with PTSD) needed, but he reluctantly agreed. "It's a Wonderful Life" ended up re-launching his acting career.
Sensuality is our greatest gateway to our real wealth our health.
It helps us move towards self love
It helps us move towards body acceptance
It helps us feel the joy in every day moments more
It helps us to listen to our needs and set boundaries
It helps us to feel pleasure in life
It helps motivate us to achieve our goals and enjoy the journey along the way
It helps us enjoy simple things life food, our breath, a conversation, a sunrise, doing the washing, working and doing chores
It helps us feel more whole
It helps us to know what makes us tick
It helps us feel more connected to ourselves and have more fun with our partners
It is limitless on the benefits.
Many asked me to do a coffee talk to share a bit about it.
I hope you enjoy.
Join me for more coffee talks, naked movement practices and health and fitness at p@treon link in bio or click here first link. https://www.rhyannawatson.com/insta-offerings/ My movement is about coming home to your body. It is everything I am, I teach, and embody.
The Healing Gifts of Eroticism—that have nothing to do with Sex.
“There’s no greater vengeance against sexual abuse than to reclaim one’s full sexuality and celebrate it.” ~ Esther Perel~
We’ve gotten it so wrong on social media, thinking we know what sexuality and eroticism are—just by how someone looks.
And we are damaging the healing process for many with our judgment and our shaming of bodies over what is worn—or not.
Being in our bodies, wearing little or a lot, is not about performance or results or sexuality. It’s about coming home to who we truly are, before everything life throws at us and changes us into who we need to be to survive.
Being in our bodies is sensuality that coexists with sexuality—it’s the experience of life through our senses. It’s a pleasurable, sensual connection that reminds us that life is worth living in every moment, even when we are in pain or struggling.
Making friends with our bodies and feeling it all through our senses allows us to find what turns us on—whether that’s at work, in everyday life, in conversations with others, in our relationships, with what we wear, or even with a person we have forgotten how to truly see after so many years together. It is the beginning of the best and most powerful healing relationship we will ever have: our relationship with ourselves, and in turn with life and everything that connects us. This relationship with ourselves will create the most empowering, whole experience of living we could ever wish for.
Healing, for me, came with one of the biggest keys life gives us—but also shames us for. It was not about how society views sexuality, but how it views eroticism.
“Eroticism blooms from the tension between excitation and inhibition and manifests in the things we say and do, by how we act, and by how we think.” ~ Esther Perel
You see, desire is our responsibility and it does not hinder on what someone does or doesn’t wear. Why? Desire is an expression of freedom and our free will. Nobody can make us want something—only we can activate this desire, whether it’s for a person, place, or thing.
Freedom comes with responsibility, as does healing and making a good life for ourselves. We can turn ourselves on and we can turn ourselves off in life. As a person who has experienced deep depression, I know this firsthand. Thoughts can both instantly shut me down and instantly open me up to possibility, fun, curiosity, kindness, and love—so I can enjoy my life. I spent many years being numb, and it took me many years to reclaim my enlivened state.
I repeat, our greatest relationship we will ever have is the relationship we have with ourselves. And this limiting belief that so many of us are taught to have—that sexuality and eroticism are about what we wear—needs to change. We need to reeducate ourselves—that it is instead about what turns us on and off in life, about what enhances healing and our ability for self-care.
How many of you have had a sexual interaction naked and you were not turned on?Have you ever once found someone extremely sexy and now you no longer desire them?
Have you ever had a job or activity in your life that you were really excited about and now you find it a chore?
“We tend to think of eroticism as a sexual state shared by two or more people, but really, it starts with the individual. And it requires practice.” ~ Esther Perel
Eroticism is the greatest healer and gift. It allows us to develop self-care, body love, self-love, and the ability to live a whole life—mentally and physically—through the awareness we gain about how to turn ourselves on and off through our thoughts and desires.

An exercises you can try to unblock your sensual energy from my book:
According to Hindu tradition, there are seven energy centres in the body. These begin at the root of the spine and ascend to the crown of the head. The second chakra is known as the sacral chakra or Svadhishthana, and it is linked to the colour orange and associated with movement, flow, care, pleasure, sexuality, relationships and procreation. It represents the male and female aspects of ourselves. It is about creating joy, happiness and loving relationships.
The energy of the sacral chakra stores desires and emotions. If it's over-active, you might to be overly sensitive to the opinions of others, whereas if it's blocked, you might find it difficult to express your feelings.
To unblock this chakra:
· Sit quietly and take some deep, grounding breaths.
· Place your hands on your lap, resting on top of each other, with the palms facing upwards and thumbs touching.
· Focus on the sacral chakra, which is positioned in the lower abdomen of your body. Imagine it as the bud of an orange flower, spiralling open a petal at time.
· Think about the qualities of pleasure, sexuality and creativity that are associated with this chakra and what these mean to you.
· Silently chant the sound “Vam”. This sound’s vibrations are believed to cleanse the sacral chakra.
· Continue to think about what this energy centre means to you until you feel you are ready to finish the meditation.
· When you are ready to close the chakra, image it now as a flower in full bloom, and allow its petals to close one by one.
· When you are ready, gently return to your daily life.
Low back pain is a sign that something is not working properly.
It does NOT mean you need to stretch your low back MORE.
Reasons for pain:
Hip flexors/upper back/shoulders are tight, förcing your low back to take all the load in your backbend
Core is too weak to support the bending that you’re doing
Glutes/hamstring aren’t firing properly or enough in your backbends
work together and create an even bend throughout.
To help this everything should be working together. We need to learn to make sure our body is supporting itself with everything stretched, strengthening and helping and supporting each other. The answer to low back pain is not to focus on bending from your low back more or avoiding your low back all together.
The answer is to work on EVERY PART EQUALLY.
Goal #1: Strengthen everything.
Goal #2: Don't be afraid of letting your low back bend*, cause you need to move through your low back to create an even bend. But if allowing your low back to bend causes any of the not-good sensations, focus on Goal #1!

Photos @audriasana
My fav headstand balance of all time. Doing this on the beach in Bali. What is your fav Balance?
All these photos are me in different looks. I as a person have not changed. However how you think of me May. That tells you more about your perspectives then me. This is a cool way to learn how we see the world and our meanings. Everything is neutral until we place our perspectives on them. If you feel sexual it is because your body is alive inside connected to that energy. If you feel inspired it is because your body is alive to move maybe. If you feel shame it’s because you’ve been taught this somewhere for a certain look, if you feel like you couldn’t do this it’s because your thoughts believe it so and so on. Your perspectives can empower or disempower. Connect or disconnect. Choose wisely.
Did you know one photo can take up to 30 mins warm up for when a yoga pose or here I was making bread at the end of the process 30 mins later and then can take up to 5 to 10 mins to capture. Following this is the editing time if photos need it. Before that is the hours of practice needed to create a pose (some of these poses took 9 years to learn). Then there is the finding of the environment and what is needed, finding the right light, saving money for equipment and also programs on computers to create and edit content. Personally there is also my education to be a trainer and the trainers I pay to train with when I can and the equipment needed to learn my skills too.
One photo or post then requires you to caption it, post it and return comments on it. This is never 1 sec or 10 sec thing.
One video that maybe 3 mins could take up to an hour to create and have ready for the site. The world of instant can be so misleading.
I wish we could see more BTS (behind the scenes). Let us remember BTS are the sum total of a life leading up to this very moment or post and that doesn't just include the taking and making of it but also the living as well.
Some days just to create the movement practices and photos here or on patreon for you all it can look like a day of nearly 8hrs of movement.
I personally need to train for my skills
Then I need to warm up and cool down to avoid injury.
I need to do these yoga and workout and dance videos I make
I need to do some poses that are captured over and over again and warm up specifically for them and cool down for them not to get injured for the photos.
I work and train clients on top of this and move with them.
I have to run my house and do my personal life as well with family.
As you can see it can be a lot.
Can you imagine moving and training for 8 hrs. I can tell you on these days I am exhausted and after this I still am left with editing and posting etc.
The reality is never seen. It is always a story in our heads we see. So let's cheer each other on and remember people always do more than we see and everything that we see always takes so much work and effort. Nothing is done in a split second - done and dusted. It is all the sum total of micro shifts over the years.
This post alone has taken me 30mins to write and proof and will still probably need another proof after.
That is why truly everything is a lifestyle and nothing can be accomplished without making it apart of our lifestyle and why 30 day programs are just not the keys or answers as people suggest they are.
Let us say you learn a language or you get fit or learn a skill in 30 days. If you do not use that skill you lose it so therefore you have to relearn. That means that it isn't 30 days. Because you either have to keep using the skills daily or you have to relearn it. So everything is the sum total of our choices done daily. We start by motivation to learn, we build good habits, the habits pick us up when when our motivation runs out. Our consistency gives us the results with the habits and the habits then become micro-shifts into new different growing habits and the cycle repeats as we grow, learn and evolve.
So anyone doing something you desire is because they have made it a lifestyle.
Here's to the lifestyle makers and movers you are amazing.

I love working with artist when the gift of connection happens. To see myself through someone else’s lens allows me to see another version of me. This artist all their videos on p@treon link in social don’t miss them nude yoga and art. This is the first artist I worked with that got me in to the sharing of myself unapologetically and still one of my all time fav artist that change so much of my life as @audriasana
Art isn’t just about what you capture, it is the connection you build to yourself and others that is what is the real magic and creates the eye for details for the viewer.
Creating art and seeing myself through different lenses…It teaches me these things:
-Don’t believe your every thought - we can choose to focus on our breathing and let our awareness rest in our bodies, not unquestioningly believe all the thoughts in our brains that disempower us
-sleep on it you have often come a long way to do things, maybe you’ll see things differently tomorrow. Nothing lasts, not even difficult times.
-Directing our attention choosing what we aim it at is the best possible and only thing we can do when things get really hard.
It was a hard process learning to do share my art and naked teaching. I knew in my heart I was more than the shame and judgment I was receiving. It still catches me every time someone wants to judge me for my body. However I am learning more and more, a little distance helps you get your thought processes into perspective (meditation and breathing - mind training), you come to realize other people are dealing with the same things as you, it automatically makes it easier to notice the things we humans share, rather than what divides us.
Regardless of who we are, where we come from and what our history is, we tend to have a lot in common in terms of our inner workings. By admitting that and shining a light on it, we make it easier to stop pretending we are on top of everything. It makes it easier to help each other, to share, to genuinely connect. We can create complimentary connections instead of competitive ones and rejoice in our uniqueness. We can see what is wonderful about other people without taking the next unfortunate step of whispering to ourselves there we are not as good.

When was the last time you swum naked?
This was my first photoshoot naked done by the photographer of my book. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1786782898/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1582216947&sr=8-1
You look in the mirror and sometimes may see a mess of a human. All the things you remember you should have done better and all the things you did not have success at. But you do not see the lives you have enriched, or the people you have blessed. You do not see all the love and kindness you have given freely or the extraordinary memories you have made. Remember you are a life of beautiful moments and feelings too.
Your off to great places today, today is your day. Your journey is awaiting so get on your way.
Stand tall on your shoulders and plow into a new week of awesomeness with me with new classes at p@treon link in socials or ❤️ https://www.rhyannawatson.com/insta-offerings/
How wonderful is it that we laugh because our bodies cannot contain the joy :)
When was the last time you laughed out loud?
Reliving the vologlam days.

When I first started shooting this art my heart was full in the freedom and love I had for being in my body. I cried the first time I saw my first naked yoga flow in Germany (the emotion took me by surprise) because it was the first time I saw me the girl behind the masks and shame. She was free and happy and it took me by surprise I could feel so much joy. However, my mind was scared and vulnerable to share to a world that did not understand. It hurt to receive the hatred, shame and misappropriation back, but it hurt more to live with masks and shame. So I keep doing it and still do.
Some of my most freeing and happiest moments exists within art and movement. It healed me, liberated me, created fun and connection I never imagined and helped me to bring the joy back in. No words can describe the gift it has given me and those that I have worked with.
Every day still leaves me vulnerable as I share to a world that still is not sure of the difference between, art, healing, sensuality and sexuality and how it can all coexist and bring beauty to the world not just have to be good or bad.
I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair, but I was born too late to a world that doesn't care....this song line always sticks in my head for me.
We humans are born to feel it all and experience all life has to offer. I hope one day the world allows more people to shatter glass ceilings and feel the magic of the shards of glass raining down with the infinite possibilities before us and the only limits are the ones we create ourselves.
Life goes quickly and is short. So many of us are waiting for the right time and place and people to save us. However we create the time for what really matters. We matter and your life matters so be wise with it and create time for it and your joy. When you are on your death bed these are the things that will remind you the value of life.
My truth is that we are our own heroes. Life has a destiny but within that destiny we get to choose our own adventures. We are born and we die and we end up on certain paths but our choice is how we respond to each path and what and where we go with it. Do we sit and complain, do we dare to grow or take risks, do we stay in our comfort or do we just watch life go by?
-Tell that person you love them at least you have the answers.
-Create friendships even if you can't have relationships at least you will always be connected to the thing that makes your heart soar.
-Do the unthinkable even if you can't at least you know you tried.
-Give to those you've been waiting for a special occasion to give to.
-Work on your dreams nothing will align for them you have to simply work and choose now.
In the last 9 years life has taken me through financial challenge over and over again, moving, losing friends, gaining friends, doing things that I never thought I would and becoming who I never thought I would. Writing a book I never made money from but helped me heal and others. Creating art that made people dislike me but helped me to breathe. Holding a retreat I lost money on that has made this year extremely taxing financially but rewarding personally knowing I can. Personally I never thought I would be known as that naked yoga girl, yet here I am.
Every day my daughter looks at the art and she says you look beautiful in your clothes and beautiful without your clothes. I smile in hope that one day there will be a world filled with souls like her that life is not a look, it is a feel and we can love each other not because of what we see but because of what we feel and what we do for ourselves and each other.
So please stop waiting and saying you can't because It is hard to make things happen but it is also hard to sit there watching your life go by and not ticking any boxes. So:
-Reach out to those people you care for and make sure they know it.
-Take an adventure you've been waiting for.
-Read that book you always wanted to read.
-Eat that beautiful piece of food you desire.
-Tell that person you think they are beautiful and you dream of them.
-Take chances and tick as many boxes as possible whilst working on your dreams.
Why you probably keep saying it is not that easy you probably are thinking and yes you are right... Nope it isn't easy. I know that and it ain't easy living either in a life that you don't enjoy. I know that too that is why I attempted on my life. However now at least I want to live and get joy struggling doing it. The art of suffering well I call it..... So you may as well try I promise the joy will shine in much more and life will become the art of suffering well for you too. It wont be ground hog day it will be days filled with challenges of course but also joy and magic too. That is a life worth living to me.
Because one day you'll look back if you do not and you will see it was all the things that you were waiting for that held you back from joy and a good life and all the things you never got to say and do you will regret or wish for.
Have a wonderful weekend

"Dracula" was filmed in English during the day, and in Spanish at night
When the 1931 movie "Dracula" was being shot, it was common for foreign language films to take over the set at night and shoot their own versions instead of dubbing over them later. The Spanish-language version — which used the same script and set — wrapped up in about half the time and earned way better reviews than its English-language counterpart.
