Supta Matsyendrasana - Supine Spinal Twist

Why not release it for once and for all ??

Substitute Teacher

Curtsy Lunge 👑 

By structuring our days as routine and regular as viable, variations become happy surprises and enhancements. Like the substitute yogi teacher who shares her barre skills.

Salamba Sarvangasana - Supported Shoulder Stand

So, if a city girl in a temperate climate should own 3-4 pairs of jeans that means a country girl in a four-seasons-in-one-day location can own 12? 😜 

Asana

Asana - Sitting Down

‘Asana’ - ‘Posture’? ‘Pose’? Yes, BUTT…

ASANA - from Sanskrit ‘Sitting down’. SEAT.  

Equilibrium. Stability. Equipoise of rest and effort. 

Happy Mother’s Day

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.

Do you nap??

Do I nap??

I laughed with my husband - “I can’t sit down without falling asleep!” It’s sincerely a very powerful thing The Catnap. I am able to stay extremely productive any time of day (or night?) and not tire by counterbalancing with these short, albeit deeply restful, nod offs (often taken in the sun, but anywhere is fair game). 👼 

Svadhyaya

 

Parivrrta Utkatasana - Revolved Chair Pose 

Non-judgment. A concept I thought myself incapable of, and not one I would touch with even a ten-foot pole. But (with age) we surprise ourselves, and in vinyasa this morning ‘NON-JUDGMENT’ practically mantra’d itself.

Then when weightily discussing cynical natures with a yogi friend, (who’s known me since birth), she kindly and earnestly propounded “You? You’re just fake judgmental!” 🤯🧐 Always, always room for more and more Svadhyaya - SELF STUDY. 

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

Ashtangasana - Ashtanga Namaskara - Eight Point Pose - Eight Limb Pose

Clarity is CLEAR!!! Wait for it. Until the insight is unmistakable INACTION is the best policy. 

Mayday

Mayday paper cone bouquet.

Forswearing my cynical, uncooperative grousing for one (May) day and instead articulating nothing but light, hope and faith. Then one more day of solely optimistic speech … and then …🌈☀️

PS: Silence is also Golden and a noble option 🕊️

Sirsasana - Headstand

I take my concerns and turn them all around , inside-out, and upsidown.
