The Daily Wayfarer

Navasana - Boat Pose (Crunch) ❤️

Q: “Is the bikini body in the diet or the exercise?”

A: “The bikini body is in the bikini.” 😚

Show up. Put one foot in front of the other. 🐾 Imperceptibly strengthen each and every day.

Prasarita Padottanasana - Intense Leg Stretch Pose

As pronounced in its appellation, Prasarita Padottanasana is not meant to be mild. Continue to YANG your  yoga this Summer, (straight legs, flexed feet, firm buttocks, strong biceps, flat palms), but with that graceful, soft, yin MO and soul you cultivated in the past two seasons. ❄️ 

👙 Freshies 🍦

 

Prasarita Padottanasana - Wide Legged Forward Bend 

variation Both Hands on One Ankle

Returned home from the neighborhood pool today and threw my swimsuit in the garage’s trash still wet. 💦 Why oh why am I wearing these tired, faded, stretched separates to the splashy parties ?? SAYONARA !! 🍑 

Clear the decks !! 🌊 

Etiquette

 

Vakrasana - Twisted Pose

I have a custom of informing the yoga teacher if I will be missing a class.

Currently, I also :

- Make use of the ladies locker room, both pre and après asana.

 - Bring and use a gaudy, very not-yogi, plastic water cup. 💦

- Twist hair into a standing-bun or plait tresses into a lying-down-braid  (clips at the ready). 

- Gravitate to any location in the room, but always roll my yoga RUG out TENDERLY.

 - Borrow blocks. 💙💙

AND, most imperatively,  happy to change my ways ;) 🙃🧺🧿 

What are your yogic ticks ?? 🐜 

Flush

 

Parivrtta Utkata Konasana - Revolved Goddess Pose

The DailyDooDoo - Jettison a substantial chunk of your closet, kitchen, garage, office or other chosen area of collection and notice vastly improved digestion and elimination. Sweet RELEASE !!! 💩 😊 

Towhead 🌾

Setu Bandha Sarvangasana- Bridge Pose 🛝 

SUNdays are brilliant. The sun shone so bright today I thought it turned my yellow T-Shirt white whilst walking out in its light. Single minded on the HOLY SPIRIT this Sunday.  🌾 

Obstacles

 

Malasana - Garland Pose - Yogi Squat

Ganesha (on Mala) - remover of obstacles 

Ganesha - remover if obstacles. I thought I was Spring Cleaning a few months back - CLICK - with my PILES of bags and MULTIPLE donation pick-ups, but an advanced avenue has been illuminated (removing far more,) and I may be on the precipice of reaching another frequency IF I can solve the puzzle, defeat the boss, and level up.

• Puzzles: These are challenges that require the player to think strategically and often interact with the environment or objects to progress. Successfully solving a puzzle might unlock a path, reveal a clue, or open a door to the next section of the game.
• Boss Battles: These are encounters with a formidable enemy, typically more powerful than regular enemies encountered in the level. Defeating the boss signifies the completion of a challenging section and often unlocks a key item, a new ability, or access to a new area. 

Recalibrate

 

Setubandha Sarvangasana - Bridge Pose

BRIDGE the gap between the old/now you and the next you. 🌟

Sigh

 

. 

Parivrtta Upavistha Konasana - Revolved Seated Angle Pose

One positive habit does lead to another. The same is true for negative habits. SIGH. 

Begin again

Ashta Chandrasana - Crescent High Lunge

Within the supposed confines of REPETITION there is always something novel to notice. Perform one-thousand-and-some times the same set yoga posture sequence and no two practices will ever be alike.  

 

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🧋
