Happy summer! If you’re looking for Yoga classes in SF or online classes, I’m subbing a lot at Haum Studios in June and July, starting next Fri 6/19 at Mission. I’ll be teaching at Noon! Also look for me at Haight on Sun evenings. All classes have a livestream option! www.haumstudios.com/schedule

Liz is in a low lunge leaning to the left arms outstretched in an expansive yoga pose on sunny green grass, in front of a big green tree, and a bright blue sky. She is wearing a bright yellow tank top over a light purple sports bra, and black, white, and blue dappled leggings.

I’ve finally decided and declared that I’m leaving all Meta platforms. If anyone has gone through this process (because it feels like a big process now!) I would love to hear your thoughts.

These are the tangles I’m still untangling as a mindfulness and meditation teacher attempting to teach others about Self Compassion.

Liz Brent-Maldonado @sparklevision.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

For a long time I’ve also been adverse to anyone in a spiritual setting talking about “Love” (capital L) because I’ve seen spiritual leaders talk about Love and then turn around and behave very NOT loving.

But the fact is that I AM total softy but really didn’t want anyone, including myself, to know that. What that meant though was that I hardened my heart… to MYSELF. It was easier to be deeply self critical than deeply self loving.

Liz Brent-Maldonado @sparklevision.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

What is cringe about “self compassion”? What leads to resistance to practices around softening and opening the heart? For me I think it comes down to a simple fear of not seeming “cool.” Or tough… or “together.” I wanted to be a badass, not weak, not soft.

The warmth and golden colors of fall, harvesting all that’s sweet from the summer, & infusing steadiness and structure into the end of our year. As the days shorten, are you ready to hibernate or are you ready to hang? Humans are funny in that we want to do both. . #FallThemes #Honey #SeasonalYoga

When do you feel powerful? When do you not? When do you rely on strength? When is vulnerability powerful? In Yoga we walk the line between flexibility and strength. The question is: What is needed when? In Meditation, what is Powerful? Photography by the incredible Stephanie Trapp

July Art & Themes: Sun, heat, growth - When are you in power, feel powerful, & when do you not? Summer flowers: - Purple Clematis - elegance, transformation, harmony in relationships - Red Poppies - remembrance, hope, resilience, grief, solace - Orange Cosmos - peace, balance, order, innocence

On a golden background, a ring of pale gold spikes hovers over showy summer flowers in a field of purples, reds, and orange. Dappled light covers the scene invoking the warmth of summer.

My mom took a great photo of spring flowers emerging & it was exactly the image that was in my mind when thinking about themes for teaching this month. So I combined the bright yellow Colorado flowers with the snowy mountains of Idaho as I head back to California to represent my classes this month!

A crowd of people demonstrating outside in front of the Lincoln Memorial on a clear, sunny day. Some of the signs read “Science over Stupidity,” “Science Makes America Great,” and “Team Public Health, Not Team Measles.”
