About Me
 | Ciao! I’m Johnny La Pasta! Welcome to my lifestyle blog where I write about yoga, food, travel, and much more. If I feel it, I write it. I hope you enjoy. Namaste! |
🌺”Bloom where you're planted."🌺
This week, Spring🌷and Aries♈️ season arrive. Both bring with them a lot of momentum and forward bound energy🏃🏻♂️. It is time to bloom and blossom🌹.
Despite this call to rise🌄 , it is possible that we may not feel fully ready to bloom🌱. We may feel like we are not yet rooted enough or perhaps that we are even planted in the wrong ground.
The truth is, however, that no matter where we are, we have the potential to bloom🌻and add beauty to the world🌍 . Even if it feels like we are planted in a crack in the side walk, we can still rise to see the sun and share the light🌟.
Let's harness this energy🔥, let's rise💫, let's bloom🌸. Come superbloom with me this week. 🙏🏼Schedule -

Would anyone like a “snack”? 😂 😂😂
Okay, okay- now that I have your attention 🤓 with my lack of modesty 🤷🏻♂️ , I want to share with you that I have a new post on my website: “Snack Time” 😋. Students🧘♀️and friends👫are always asking me about my nutrition 🥑and what I eat 🍴on the regular to fuel my active lifestyle🏃. In this post, I list out my favorite snacks complete with links to order or recipes to make them. I hope you find some options that might fit into your healthy life too 🤗 Link is in the bio👆🏼
Also, as an ambassador for my favorite snack 🥜 @perfectbar, you can 15% off of your next #perfectbar order 🎉! Link to my code in the post.
Ciao! 👋🏼 •

The peace ☮️ & light⭐️ that lives within you is yours 🙏🏼. You do not have to surrender it for anything or anybody. It is your to keep🤲🏼, yours to use✊🏼, yours to spread🙌🏼.
So often, we let the external world 🌎 dictate our internal state 🧘♂️. We become enraged when the person cuts us off on the road 🤬, we become irritated when someone falls short of expectations😤, we become stressed when the boss applies too much pressure😩. We allow other people and situations to unsettle🥺and upset us😭. This is normal👌🏼 , this is part of the human experience 👤.
But what if we began to reduce how much we let external interactions impact our internal existence? 🤔What if we chose to keep our cool😎, to keep our calm☺️, and to keep our peace 🤗on the inside, no matter what is happening on the outside?
We can still recognize when something is wrong and when response and action is required 🏃. But within that, we can still remain peaceful ✌🏼 and light ✨.
This week on our mats, we work to stay peaceful and light through all of the twists, turns, challenges, and obstacles in hopes that we move with that same peace and light throughout our lives. 🙏🏼

#WorkOutWednesday 💪🏼Power Tower Push Ups 💀
This exercise is incredibly tough, but really touches different areas of your body. Not only do you challenge your chest and shoulders to strengthen, you also urge your triceps to sharpen, and your core and back to stabilize.
How To:
1. Grip hands on the horizontal bars, palms face inward.
2. Push down with hands and arms, lift your legs, and tuck them behind you.
3. Hinge forward as horizontally as possible.
4. Lower + Lift.
5. Reset and repeat.
Reps & sets:
Again, these are tough, so start slow and low. Maybe try 3 at a time, then work your way up from there. I like to do 4-5 sets of 8-10.
As always, only do what feels right in your body. And don't forget to have some fun too! 🙏🏼

Welp kids, Mercury is going into retrograde this week 😭😭😭
During Mercury in retrograde, we may experience complications within communication📱,travel ✈️, and expression💁🏻♂️. The 3 weeks that Mercury exists in retrograde can be a bit extra 🤦🏻♂️
Luckily⭐️, all we have to do is practice a bit of mindfulness 🧠 , ground down 🌳, and steady on 💪🏼 to counter balance the effects of Mercury in retrograde! 👌🏼
Like a ship 🚢 at sea being pulled by unfavorable currents 🌊 or pushed by unfriendly winds 🌬, we all have anchors ⚓️ we can drop down to help us center and reset to then continue on ✌🏼. When life becomes overwhelming and even crazy, connecting back to our breath 🧘♂️, planting our feet firmly on the ground 🦶🏽, reciting a mantra or prayer 🙏🏼, or finding a moment of stillness between all the movement 🤲🏼 can make all the difference in grounding us back down, allowing us to re-calibrate, to then sail onward and navigate what comes ✨.
This week in my classes, we will bring awareness to these anchors and use them stabilize and sturdy for all that comes our way. See you on your mat! Schedule:
Monday –
4pm C2 – CorePower Yoga CM

It's my birthday week 🎂 🎈 🎉 ! And so I am coming at you with a flow 🤸♂️that is as wild 🤪& free 🕺🏻 as I am😂! And yes, we will be working up to Fish Pose 🐟 for my being a Pisces ♓️.
Really, this week is about ACCEPTING & EMBRACING THE JOURNEY. 10 years ago when I imagined my life at 28 years old, I saw a life that is quite different in many ways from the one I have today. Still, the life I do have is beautiful, full, & vibrant. And I believe that I am where I am meant to be here and now. 💙
On my journey to this age, I have come to realize that every single one of us is operating on our own path & timeline. There are no perfect formulas & schedules in this life. There is no need to compare & contrast with anyone else. Rather, we should appreciate & find the beauty in where we are today, what we have learned, how we have evolved, & how many abundant possibilities lay in front of us from this point on. 💫
It might be my birthday, but together, let's celebrate the lives we each call our own and share with one another! 🙏🏼
