Houseworkasana

AHA moments are continuously had in savasana, but also habitually unveiled while carrying out the housework. 🧹 

Notes from my last flight

 

🩵💚Not to be forgotten when flying with kiddos 💛🧡

Sick of it

Viparita Karani - Legs Up the Wall Pose

Yoga for nausea - calm the nervous system. 

It is so complicated let us discuss it ad nauseam and get nowhere?! Let’s not: the truth will feel effortless. 

It will not always be easy

Virabhadrasana I - Warrior 1 Pose

I birthed my four babies at home and I have always known intuitively never to speak about it in common company. When your life challenges conventional - conformist - foundational beliefs, the threatened masses will act out (and sometimes with virile hostility). Thinking ‘differently’ from the majority is a sure bet side effect of a consistent yoga practice and is mostly fun, but on occasion you will feel confused, misunderstood and alone (or even outcast and humiliated when you are the more outspoken type). Welcome to rare and lasting inner peace and outer beauty! No one said it would be easy. 💖

PS :  If you are not having these black sheep issues - get thee to more yoga classes! 🤭😋🙃

5th Chakra

Matsyasana Padmasana - Fish Pose Lotus Variation 

💙Vishuddha - 5th chakra - Throat Chakra.💙

🩵Finding your authentic voice, creativity and integrity.🩵

Try-not-to-cough Asana: during some (a handful at most, hopefully) yoga classes all you are doing is trying not to cough. And on those days that is more than enough.💗

“Happy New Year”

Natarajasana - Dancer Pose

“Happy New Year”: Buried alive in the bustling routine of family life, I find myself awkward, unprepared, and downright stumped when presented with normal adult socializing and interacting. When in debilitating doubt, which I currently am (obvious names, places, and details completely eluding my overcrowded brain), just BE KIND (not witty or smart or most accomplished or pageant beautiful). Simply begin with an easygoing “Happy New Year” and do not shy away, because a second chance - another opportunity to connect - may not present itself in the near future. 

What are you building?

 

Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana - King Pigeon Pose

Add flourish to your asanas. 🐚 

Everyday around 10am, for eight days straight, our family of six, (with cousins in tow,) headed to the beach. My youngest, age 3, would promptly ask me to “build a road”. We scooped, dug, piled, grated, patted, and decorated gaping holes, super highways, winding rivers, picturesque villages, connecting tunnels, long islands, creepy faces, and even a giant sea serpent monster. What were we making? We never knew. We just kept constructing.
