Rainbow of Gray ~ Uttanasana

Uttanasana - Standing Forward Fold
Lift through the arches of your feet.
Drishti is between the shins or for more Yin - eyes closed.

Grays in nature reflect infinite colors.

Blackout ~ Ragdoll

Baddha Hasta Uttanasana - Dangling Forward Fold, Ragdoll Pose
Clasp opposite elbows with your hands.
Nod your head yes and no to relieve tension.

With a teenager, a toddler, two ‘graders’ in-between, and - of course - a husband… I must forward fold (block out the world for a few hours!) during inevitable bouts of burnout.
