Have yourself a French-inspired little weekend.

Keep It Daily 🌻

 

Ashwa Sanchalanasana - Crescent Low Lunge Pose variation knee on floor

Feeling somewhat desolate or in despair? Broken or tender hearted? Keep it daily, keep it simple, keep it sweet 💔.

Aspen Summer Soundtrack

 

Vrksasana - Tree Pose, with Gomukhasana - Cow Face Pose, arms 

Let your End of Summer Soundtrack be the rustling of the leaves. 

Course of inaction

 

Wake-up-got-nowhere-to-be-but-here is my 💛 preferred vibe. & what I am ⚡️ currently choosing. 

She’s so misty

Standing Squat Pose on Tip Toes

It was a bustling, clamorous day at the pool with nary a place to unwind, but I lay myself on the one-and-only empty chaise longue and somehow the extra ‘static’ helped a Message come in sunny. As the other adults sympathized and the children splashed — HUSH — I experienced an UNVEILing amidst the MIST. An aha in the hubbub. 
 

Open

 

OPEN up your energy. 

Rad

You know you’re having a pretty RAD summer when you’d rather PLAY in that lame purple bikini AGAIN (and be seen in it!) than stop to go SHOPPING.  

You are yours 💘

 

What’s the next ITERATION of YOU?? Decide as though no one else gives a !&*% — because they don’t!! 💜💕💔

Trikonasana - Triangle Pose

Instructors will most often cue the trikonasana drishti 👁️ upwards to the skyward reaching hand, but I prefer to gaze down when GROUNDing is called for. During TURBULENT times FOCUS on your FOOTING. Literally. 

Alien 👽

 

Mandukasana - Frog Pose

Most times I have nowhere to be, which makes me practically an alien in this rushy-rushy society. 

Transparent

 

Savasana - Corpse Pose

 🧟‍♀️ 

Sometimes the ‘GOAL’ is a MOOD. 

FANCY

 

Anahatasana - Melting Heart Pose

 YIN Puppy Dog Pose

💕💞💓💗💓💞💕

🧊🔮Clarity on what it is we actually want. 

Q: What do I actually want??

A: Never stop asking!! 🤓 📝

Our heart’s desires ought to always metamorphose.

ComparisonAsana

 

Padmasana - Lotus variation

Unlimited options abound 💜

What’s the most fatiguing pose in yoga? Comparison-asana! Be sure to wear yourself out when spying on fellow yogis around the studio; as in life, nothing shall run thee more ragged than measuring oneself against anyone other than oneself. 

Tabula Rasa

 

Strip down to the bare minimum.

Discard! Desert! Abandon! Forsake yesterday’s self!!

Easy

 

Parivrtta Sukhasana - Easy Twist, Seated Twist, Simple Cross-legged Twist

Couples are yoga 💕

Yes, the answer is kindness. 

Happy Mother’s Day

🌺🌸🌼🍀Eight🍀🌼🌸🌺

 

Astavakrasana - Eight Angle Pose

As its shape conveys, the karmic balance of 8 is ‘so above, so below’, and ‘you reap what you sow’. 

8’s express themselves in ambition, endurance, focus, hard-work, intelligence, loyalty, organization and stability. 8’s manifest abundance, karmic balance, eternal life, influence, power, prosperity and wealth. Caution ⚠️ 8’s are susceptible towards materialism, entitlement and over-control.

Stop Fidgeting

Muktasana - Liberation Pose

Burmese style Seated Meditation 

Dhyana Mudra

To fidget is to be nervous, restless, impatient, EAGER. Unless these are qualities you wish to embody - finish with the fidgeting. 

“Be STILL and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10

NOT “Mom”, “Mother”, “Wife”, “Boss”, “ Secretary”, “Client”, (“Customer”, “Collaborator”, “Gate Keeper”, “Dog Owner”,  “Chef”, “Chauffeur”, “Cleaning Lady”, “Counselor”…) Just Astrid.

It’s worthwhile and meaningful to uphold important (to you) roles and wear ones supervisor hats — to lead a purposeful life. But, boy, was it emancipating to relinquish administrative duties for a couple of days! 

DIE hard

Savasana - CORPSE pose. 

NOT Visramasana -  rest, relaxation pose. 

 It’s called Corpse pose not Rest pose. Which parts of you are you ready to KILL-off for good ???
