About Me
 | Ciao! I’m Johnny La Pasta! Welcome to my website where I write about wellness, fitness, lifestyle, mindfulness, spirituality, and more. It's my mission to help you be Well AF. Namaste! |
GOLD
My soul is old 🍂,
But my heart is young🌱.
My mind is sharp🧠 ,
And my body is strong💪🏼.
I am very mortal 🤲🏼,
But also part divine✨.
Now all I need 🙏🏼,
Is just a bit of time🕰.
I have ages of wisdom in me 💫,
Of which I’d like to speak🎵.
I have a face that attracts people to me 📷,
So gather round as I start to read 📖.
Lessons from the universe flow onto the page thru my pen 🖊.
Something big is telling me, no love could be considered sin ❤️ 🌈.
Colors and shapes have no meaning when we finally come to the end ✌🏻✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿.
We are not born to die, we learn, we give, we gain, we grow, and then we begin again🍀.
So look not to your safes and accounts 💰,
For answers of the world 🌎 .
Look within then look without 👁,
And there you will discover gold 🌟.

Many times in yoga classes 🤸♂️ you will hear us instructors say, "Exhale - release anything that does not serve you." 💆🏻♂️But what do we mean by that exactly?🤷🏻♂️
As we travel🚶🏻♂️ through life, we collect and accumulate things along the way: mentalities and thought patterns 🧠, tendencies and habits🖖🏾, goals and energies🌟. And though some of those things may serve us well for a time, after awhile, they start to hold us back ✋ rather than help us to move forward👉🏼.
Yoga and meditation 🧘♀️ provides a space to start to release those old, stagnate, and expired things 🍁 to make space for the new, the fresh, and the good 🌿.
When we release what not longer serves, we make space for what may, and within that is growth, evolution, and expansion 💫🌈✨.
Join me this week as we clear, make space, and create change. Speaking of which, CorePower Yoga Huntington Beach is NOW REOPEN after our beautiful remodel! I have missed ya’ll the past 2 weeks while we have released and revamped, and I cannot wait to see you back there!

"The goal is not the yoga pose, the goal is strive to do the yoga pose."
Perfect does not exist🤘🏼, at least, not in the sense that our society has tricked us into believing🤔. There is no one perfect way to build a career 💰, raise a child 👶, live a life 🌱. We are too complex🌈, too diverse✨, and too unique🌟 to fit into math and science equations.
Rather, the only perfect that exists is the kind that makes sense for you and your own unique evolution, free of comparisons to anyone else🙌🏼.
In yoga, there is no perfect pose 🧘♂️. Rather, we are always striving to grow and evolve in the practice 🤸♀️. The process of trying to expand and learn while radically accepting 🤗yourself at each point in the journey is the perfect 👌🏼. It has nothing to do with following a formula and arriving at a predetermined end result.
This week, we strive to do the yoga 🧘♀️ while embracing ourselves 💕 at each stepping stone along the way.🚶♀️

🌊WAVES🌊
I was at the beach 🏝 this weekend. There was a family of tourists 👨👩👦👦being pummeled by the waves 🌊 repeatedly as they tried to jump over them or runaway from them to no avail 🤦🏻♂️. Being the local Southern Californian ☀️ , Pisces ♓️ , Ocean Child 🧜🏻♂️that I am, I turned to them and explained, "If you don't want to get knocked down, you either have to ride the waves or go through them."
After showing them how to dive 🏊♂️ through the waves, I thought, "Whoa! This situation is really an analogy for life, isn't it?" 💡
Like the ocean 🌊 sending waves to shore 🏖, life sends us many different experiences ✨and challenges 🔥. With each we must adapt to and work with them🤲🏼. Some experiences we must turn, face, and go through until we surface on the other side 🐬. Others, we must ride to see where they take us 🐋.
So this week, we open up to the possibilities that come our way on our mats. We go through the challenges and we enjoy the ride along the way. We commit this to memory and take it with us off our mats and into the world. Come surf with me! 🏄
