Hookie

 

Paschimottanasana - Seated Forward Bend

‘Staying in’ will likely involve actively skipping something(s); do not wait for a day off to happen, make it happen. 

Days 6 and 7

 

Ardha Uttanasana - Half Forward Fold

Weekends are to be worry free. 🩶

You time

 

Purvottanasana - Reverse Plank Pose

Our most hectic times are the most important times to make time for yoga. 

Advance notice

 

Ardha Purvottaanasana - Reverse Table Top Pose

Some days we predict will be light, end up heavy and presumed heavy days, end up light; our continued yoga practice makes provisions for these miscalculations.

🩷❤️🤎 Party prep : Making provisions! 🤎❤️🩷 

Monogram

 

Utthita Parsvakonasana - Extended Side Angle Pose

Play and pose your trademark way.

The ‘To Do’ lists are never done; they are your infinite unending daily life notes, so write your days in your best, signature handwriting. 💘🎀

In high demand

If you want something done, ask a busy person - but please stop  asking me. 🤪🤓

Open, ready, available

Inspiration

Urdhva Hastasana - Palm Tree Pose 

Hands interlaced, palms facing upward.

Get as high as you can onto those tippy toes!!

In case you’d like me to decide for you 😉 —

Your (OUR) 2026 resolution: Empty the cupboard, pull out the weeds; in order to enter 2027 clear and free.

Contemplation

Parsva Anjaneyasana - Low Lunge Side Bend Pose with block

For answers at first, revelations at last:

CONTEMPLATION sees everything, holds on to nothing. (Warning: takes years)

Dress like he’s your Ex

 

Parsva Anjaneyasana - Low Lunge Pose Side Bend

Auspicious animal sightings

 

🦅🐺🐻🦇🫎🦨🦉🦌🦊🦬🐈‍⬛🦫

Colorado is rife with wildlife encounters. 

I returned home from a quiet birthday dinner to  a mighty owl perched upon our basketball hoop. Be on the lookout for animal sightings - their auspiciousness and symbolism is up to you to determine and consider.

Hands like work

 

Virasana - Hero Pose

How do we quiet the mind and open the heart? By moving the hands. 

A weighty question has been pulling me down and dragging me back, but I found respite and lightness this morning by: unpacking our suitcases, setting up the advent, calling an artist to collaborate, writing checks, designing and sending an invitation, decorating a small tree, cooking a nourishing dinner… 🎄 

You know you

 

Urdhva Mukha Svanasana - Upward Facing Dog Pose

No one can or will ever know you like you know you. (Experts and gurus included.)

Surprise!

 .

Adho Mukha Svanasana - Upward Facing Dog, hands reversed 

Surprise yourself often or else! (Or else slowly, imperceptibly whither away).  🥀

Counsel

 

Parsva Bakasana - Side Crow Pose

Our guttural response to advice requested is it’s most illuminating aspect, don’t you think? Wink 😉. 

Peremptory

Anjaneyasana - Crescent Low Lunge variation 

Not ‘exalted’ or ‘reverse’ as the arm reaching back is on the same side as the extended back leg it is reaching for and pressing upon.

Evaluating friendships as of late and finding it is essential to follow the chemistry and foolish to ignore the kismet. 🌟 

Fishing for compliments

 

Matsyasana - Fish Pose

Feeling like a fish out of water is not a negative - embrace your quirky point of view without expecting anyone else to. 

When you feel it, you know

 

Baddha Konasana - Bound Angle Pose

Are all decisions better left to the heart ?? 💜❤️🧡

Away message

 

Supta Baddha Konasana - Reclining Bound Angle Pose

At the beach, out of touch from ‘the world’, getting my messages directly from the cosmos 🪐: aka on vacation sun tanning. 🧘‍♀️ PS: vacation - vacate! Cancel it, annul it; for I have left (and maybe even quit! Not really.) 🥸

Not mydailydrawing

Tadasana Urdhva Hastasana - Volcano Pose, Mountain Pose variation

On tippy ‘palm tree’ toes 🌴

Not Big News : I have been playing with stylus (ipencil) and alternative programs (procreate from sketchbook) and even an upgraded iPad (I have always used my toddler’s), but the stylus sits in the crook of my hand while I type and draw with my middle finger, the new keyboard lacks emojis, and sketchbook continues to fulfill my meager doodling desires. So, as of yet, dailydoodles are lingering in their old ways - created in refurbished older model apple products with sharpie-esque outlines paint bucketed (filled in) in a marker/highlighter manner… for this doodler, old school still rules, plus - it’s not mydailydrawing, that’s for sure. 🥵😅
