After you

Phalakasana, Kumbhakasana, Utthita Chaturanga Dandasana - High Plank Pose

Couples are yoga 💙

Kumbhakasana - breath retention. Hold your breath BRIEFLY before lowering into push-up position, Chaturanga Dandasana. Outside the studio, pause only temporarily before committing to a decision. And TAKE TURNS with your other half, arbitrating according to your particular strengths. This is what partnership is for. 
 

Mast

 

Dandasana- Staff Pose (him) / Sirsasana - Handstand (Her)

Couples are yoga 🧡

Note to self - learning a handstand means actually practicing a handstand. The grass is greener and softer in Summer - enlist your partner and get to practicing al fresco. 

Fantastic

 

Balasana - Child’s Pose (him) / Supta Utthita Tadasana - Reclined Mountain (her)

Couples are yoga.

Small hints are big messages. Catch wind of a minor suggestion (from your beloved) and take it seriously; act expeditiously and then revel in real life as it becomes better than fantasy. 🏔️ 

Primary

 

Couples are yoga. 

Marriage - spirits dance, souls melt. 

Lâcher Prise

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. 

👖 pairing down

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.
