BORING

Virabhadrasana II - Warrior 2

 I 🤍🤍🤍 boring. Rise at a predictable time. Attend booked yoga class. Shop my cleared-out closet. Eat unexemplary foods. Make order. Pass extended unremarkable time with the family at home. What else can I BORING-IFY???

Thank you, boring! Let boring save you. 

Look up 💡

Utkatasana - Fierce Pose

LIGHT skies (for a few weeks stretch now) at the 5am wake-up call. I keep thinking I overslept!  No use for a flashlight to head out to yoga class. 🔦 Fewer layers, less preparation, more time to mix a cold brewed concoction🧋 

 

No Opining

Winged Dragon YIN Yoga 🐉 

(YIN Variation of Ashwa Sanchalanasana - Crescent Low Lunge Pose Variation Knee on Floor

and Utthan Pristhadana - Lizard Pose)

⭐️ Summer Freedom. ⭐️ How about a RECESS from our own opinions? ⭐️

What ?? NO OPINION ?? OUI !! Super chill 😎 Besides, we can always form one later … 

Nirvana

 

Salamba Bhujangasana -  YIN Sphinx Pose

A LIGHTER TOUCH when parenting, house-working, e-mailing, dressing… does in reality yield astonishing results. I am, for the very first time, sympathizing with this 80/20 rule that I was never before able to appreciate (or even mildly apprehend). 

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. 

Your name here

 Nam - Bow. Salute with reverence, respect. Submit, bend.

The sweetest sound? One’s own name. And for some - a special nickname.

For a less familiar name or unusual spelling, help your brother/sister out - and hence yourself - during introductions.  “Astrid, like an Asteroid in space.” “Nok, like ‘to knock’ ✊.”  “Leonie, a female ‘Leo’; Lioness,” or “people call me Lay Lay.”

So Hum

SO HUM. I am that (I am).

The beautiful and powerful SO HUM meditation — Read all about it at Banyan Botanicals - CLICK! - as I love this cosmic explanation and cannot describe it more successfully. Above is Dr Vasant Lad’s drawing DailyDoodled 🌼🌼🌼

Party Pose

Ardha Padma Vrksasana - Half Lotus Tree Pose

POTLUCK - Gathering together without a singular hostess carrying the load. Attendees are often glad to be more than a guest and feel part ownership in the social occasion. Proprietorship makes the party more special in one’s mind. Win-win-win…

FANCY

 

Anahatasana - Melting Heart Pose

 YIN Puppy Dog Pose

💕💞💓💗💓💞💕

🧊🔮Clarity on what it is we actually want. 

Q: What do I actually want??

A: Never stop asking!! 🤓 📝

Our heart’s desires ought to always metamorphose.

MyDailyPoodle 🐩!!

Uttana Shishosana - Playful Puppy Pose

✨🛍️👙💕👛🎀👒👑🌼💎🐩💎🌼👑👒🎀👛💕👙🛍️✨

Adaptable, affectionate, athletic, energetic, intelligent, lively, and social with a bouncy, self-confident prance. Poodles delight in their family and may seem stuck-up to strangers. Poodles have mastered the side-eye and cross their paws when they lounge. 

Current mood - I’ll be CHANNELING POODLE, Thank You Very Much.
