Anuvittasana - Mountain Pose with Backbend,  ‘Found’ Pose

Find your true self and best health by removing all obstacles 🐘 (including yoga alignment mandates?)

FREE to BE.

What is

Vajrasana - Thunderbolt

🤎 Current favorite pose - Kneeling and meditating. 🕯️  

Santosha - a deep satisfaction with your current situation, feeling enough as you are, meeting the present moment as it is. 

Many a duty (this December, especially) have I obliged - so, now it is time to sit back and enjoy the rest of the 2025 ride. 

🌫️ Fog lifts 🪽

 

Utthita Ashwa Sanchalasana - Runner’s Lunge Pose

Easylike

Big (holiday, travel) emotions have bubbled to the top, then, mercifully, dissipated into thin  air. 🫧 

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! 🤎❤️🩷 

Open, ready, available

Tadasana - Mountain Pose

Thumbs interlaced.

It’s an eyes closed during yoga type of week. 😌

How to be open, ready and available? Listen more.

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)

Ear pressure

 

Karnapidasana - Deaf Man’s Pose

Plow variation

It is your prerogative to shut out ‘the world’ if you need to. 🗺️ 📡

Foundling

 

Upavistha Konasana - Wide Angle Forward Fold 📐 

FIND that which you are hiding from yourself.

Creation creates

 

Natarajasana - Dancer Pose 

Hand to floor

In dancer we are both the archer and the bow : yes - we are creators, but first and foremost we are creation. 

Me, myself and my mat.

Salabhasana - Locust Pose

Most often I point my feet and flex my toes (Barbie foot) in big poses. Taking note from the ballerinas lately, I am experimenting with purely pointing - for precise direction and the hopeful strength to straighten those long limbs in the vigorous shapes.

 Yoga - just you and the mat. No masks. No pretense. No fake-it-till-you-make-it. 

🥠Fortunate🪙

 

Supta Utthita Tadasana - Supine Extended Mountain Pose

 Streeeeeeeeetch from the tips of your fingers to the ends of your toes. 

How lucky are we to be born again each morning?

Label maker

 

Adho Mukha Sukhasana - Easy Pose Forward Fold

LABELS may temporarily console us (“I am not alone!”) but, ultimately, epithets are limiting and best discarded (every snowflake is, in fact, unique.) ❄️ 

Also - put down the podcast, book, lecture, course etc. Cease the googling. And reject outside opinion (even from your mother, brother and besties). Reacquaint yourself with yourself. (The answer is you.)

OMing ocean

 

OM - Primordial vibration of the universe.

Sonic representation of the divine. 

Why yoga at the studio and not at home? The energy of the group carries you.
