Whirly 🌪️

 

Balasana - Child’s Pose

Illness, injury or sadness as a time for reflection, illumination and, possibly, ascension. 

Turn away from this WHIRLY WORLD and tune into your inner true self. 

Mystical magical

 

Ardha Purvottanasana - Reverse Tabletop Pose

RECLAMATION: Not a destination. An ongoing, thrilling, pleasurable, amusing, surprising, magical, life-long process.

Destroyer of all diseases

 

Matsyasana - Fish Pose

Reduce stiffness in shoulders and neck. Improve posture. Balance the thyroid.

Self-compassionate healing après over-giving. 

🥠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?

What fresh hell is this?

Supta Baddha Konasana - Reclining Bound Angle 

With a bolster, two blocks and blankets.

OH the sheer agony of caring for the family and tending to the home while feeling unwell. We know it from periods, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, traumatic or sad events, the common cold, chronic illness, heartache, heartbreak and beyond. There is no relief to be found. My personal solution? Complain (and blame) loudly and incessantly until someone (my husband) tells me they feel sorry for me and then all is a little bit more right in my world - merci beaucoup, dankeschön.

Utthita Eka Padasana -  Standing Balance, One Leg Raised

As I watched another woman caregiving today (I had a few hours away from my own supportive duties,) it stopped me dead in my tracks how important, beautiful, and fulfilling it is - the work of caring for others. On my end, rearing my children nonstop has felt demanding and intolerable as of late, but the image of this smiling lady pushing a grinning older gentleman in his wheelchair on our wooded path was just what I needed to startle me back into recognizing our shared guardian superstardom. 🌟 

Present parent, calm kids 🎁 

Collect stars

 

Dandasana - Staff Pose

Stars not stuff. 

Acting basic

 

Parsva or Parivrtta (Prasarita) Balasana - Side or Revolved (Wide) Child’s Pose

aka Urdhva Mukha Pasasana - Thread the Needle, Child’s Pose Variation 

Pasa - Noose, Cord

NORMCORE - normal is hardcore ;)

Some poses are BIG and SHINY, some are SMALL and MATTE. NORMCORE — Find gratification and satisfaction in the common, plain, and ordinary. Liberation is yours! in the functional and indistinguishable; in being (and owning?) nothing special.

Why not release it for once and for all ??
