Half full

Tadasana - Mountain Pose

How much of yoga class is spent in this pose? How often in life are we standing still in the commonplace? More or less half of our time/life energy? So, how serene and stoic of a mountain can we be?  ⛰️

After you

Phalakasana, Kumbhakasana, Utthita Chaturanga Dandasana - High Plank Pose
Couples are yoga πŸ’™

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.

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. πŸ”️

Substitute Teacher

Curtsy Lunge πŸ‘‘ 

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.

πŸ‘– 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.
