Yes - It’s Yogini Food! ~ Diver Pose

Diver pose yoga cute illustration drawing drinking bird
Diver Pose (Drinking Bird Pose) ๐Ÿฆ… 
What does a Yogini cook and eat? Why, the foods she loves, of course.
What foods does a Yogini love?

Living a creative life means create-ing daily; handmade delectable edibles are a piece-of-cake way to commune with the divine per diem (especially if you’re planning to eat anyways)!


Just keep COOKing (in silence for effortless enlightenment).
Spring goddess salad, chocolate pots, homemade ‘perfect bars’ plus oats, three berry muffins, classic stuffed bell peppers. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค❤️

EN-JOY

Breaking Bread ~ Parfait-asana

Berry parfait cute drawing illustration pink pretty stars confetti
Berries, dairy, crystal. ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’Ž

Procuring, preparing, serving, and bussing (week)daily dinner takes an immense amount of effort, consideration and sacrifice; therefore, it is imperative to nourish your family by making and sharing the recipes you yourself LOVE. Breaking bread is a daily form of modeling universal respect and zest for life.

Potato salad pretty silver stainless bowl lemon egg red onion celery
Germans love potato salad.

Baking chips chocolate dessert butter cream whisk pot de chocolat easy
Chocolate pots all around.

Beautiful pink dining everyday by the garden pink green Indian placemats pretty view leather chairs fun chandelier family dinner
Greek salad is pretty in pink and green. 

Berry parfait Greek yogurt full fat nutritious family dessert crowd pleaser pretty dessert
Just add granola: substantial Greek yogurt and berry dessert to prevent late-night snacking.

Traveling Circus ~ Camatkarasana


Camatkarasana - Wild Thing Pose
‘Astonished’, ‘Miracle’

Vacation vibes: Lots of family trips lately, lots of lovely bonding, but it is time to park the traveling circus and put a romantic getaway on deck. We have it all, just not all at once by reflecting on each excursion’s aims, expectations and emphasis ahead of time as not to miss the holiday’s inherent distinctive opportunity.

Parsvottanasana - Pyramid Pose
I am having a ‘put your head down and work’ type of week. 

๐ŸŒˆThe rhythm of the day, the arc of the week, the ebb and flow of the month, and the seasons of the year. Looking ahead and zooming out at your calendar is how you are able to ‘put your head down’ and (enjoy) work(ing) unremittingly - because you plan (and look forward to) when you’ll be coming up for air. ๐Ÿ‘™⛵️๐ŸŒž

Mow.

Mow some more.

Completely clear out 4 bedrooms.

Daily lunch for 4.

Cookies, Socks and Winter Activities - Oh My ๐Ÿ˜ ~ Parsva Urdhva Hastasana

Parsva Urdhva Hastasana - Upward Salute Side Bend Pose
Can you straighten your arms? All the way?

I am back in the kitchen with verve baking up a storm once again. Is it my new “easy bake oven” (air fryer)? Or the fact that my youngest is now three and slightly less underfoot? It is both I am sure, and other factors, too. (Chilly weather๐Ÿ’จ.) Whatever it is sparking my creative joy, I will run with it…as do my children and so should you! ๐Ÿช

Brownies, banana bread, oatmeal raisin balls, yogurt cake, sugar cookies, cream cheese frosting… biscuits, french fries, quiche, pigs in a blanket, pizza, grilled cheese, quesadillas, roasted (air fried) everything and the list goes on… I kid you not, these kids actually expect me to feed them EVERY DAY!!! ๐Ÿคช

My daughter knits socks.  ๐Ÿงถ ๐Ÿงฆ For MY feet. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅฐ

& these adorable and refreshing Gen Alpha kids also sing, tinker on the piano, play violin, craft, craft, craft and, obviously, level-up our nestle chips. ๐ŸŽป๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŽ‰

Add flourish to your asanas. ๐Ÿš 

Everyday around 10am, for eight days straight, our family of six, (with cousins in tow,) headed to the beach. My youngest, age 3, would promptly ask me to “build a road”. We scooped, dug, piled, grated, patted, and decorated gaping holes, super highways, winding rivers, picturesque villages, connecting tunnels, long islands, creepy faces, and even a giant sea serpent monster. What were we making? We never knew. We just kept constructing.

Peremptory

Crescent low lunge variation mydailydoodle yoga drawing Anjaneyasana
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. ๐ŸŒŸ

Fishing for compliments

Both graceful and effective. 

Weekends are the necessary outbreath to your week’s extended and exaggerated inbreath. Keep your weekends 1. Nourishing 2. Restful 3. Warm. ๐Ÿงค๐Ÿงฆ๐Ÿชถ




Wholesome nature-based activities nourish the soul. 


Warm with Fire and Water (food and clothing).

Movement can be restful; rather than planning a ‘hike’, step right outside your door.

Have an approach that is lighthearted and buoyant.
