Surprise!

 .

Adho Mukha Svanasana - Upward Facing Dog, hands reversed 

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

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.) 🥸

It’s never not a metaphor

 

Shiva Squat

Anjali Mudra - Prayer Hands

Come as you are : each day you show up a little bit (or a lotta bit) differently on your mat. 

Au naturel

".

Parivrtta Prapadasana - Twisted Toe Squat

“Being in ‘nature’ is good for us,” “get out into ‘nature’,” “commune with ‘nature’ daily,” “eat more naturally, wear natural fibers, naturalify your home…” — hold the phone — we ARE nature!!! ☎️ 

Infinite

Ardha Padma Anantasana - Reclined Half Lotus Pose

Kubera Mudra for focused intention 

Sacrificing for your dream. Some days I look around (at my little life) and I feel overtaken with awe and immensely ‘blessed’. So much so, that the beauty of it can feel precarious (“too good to be true, so much to lose!”). But, as my husband elucidates, this life did not appear out of nowhere - myriads of sacrifices (countless other possibilities passed up) befalls when we make each choice. We are choosing one of infinite. So when the bliss is so joyous we panic, remember we had our hand in this; these are the steady and continuous - unprecarious - fruits of our labor. 🍇 

Sirsa

 

Pincha Mayurasana - Feathered Peacock - Forearm Stand - from Sirsasana - Headstand

Begin with head - Sirsa - in forearms and then press up.

Mahamayuri mudra: Middle three fingers clasped, pinkies and thumbs straight, to begin. 

Then your palms toward the floor for lift?

Splendor

Mahayamuri Mudra - for the wise peacock queen.

From hands in prayer at heart center, clasp together the three middle fingers of both hands leaving the thumbs and pinkies extended. 

Mahayamuri mudra - Activate your crown chakra, accelerate towards your destiny. 

Modest days are splendid wise peacock rising days.
