| Homemaker-Asana |
Anytime I am away from the home on other business for the day, I am always relieved to return to the fold; for family-life is where my passions, priorities and talents lay.
But, of course, I wouldn’t know about home-making's high ranking if I didn’t flee in the first place 😉 …

| Sirsasana ~ Headstand variation To safeguard my neck, I typically headstand with tripod arms. |
When I was growing up, the day school ended my family and I flew (fled?) to the French Riviera and returned to the USA only after the school supplies had - much to my dismay - run out at the American stores. Summer was not filled with planned activities or camps or playdates but with open-ended European road trips and unhurried, unstructured, seemingly endless days chez nous en Provence. 🪻🪻🪻
With my four petites being ages 3-13, it is likely not prudent to emulate this relaxed, improvisational, détendue, and highly unAmerican protocol, but I am going to give it a shot. I will let you know how it goes...

| Not pictured: Stormy Day Dinner was chicken tortilla soup (from a dear school-mom-friend's Boulder CO soup company) with plenty of Astrid's home-baked vanilla pound cake (new fave) with fresh CO cow whipped cream. |

| Ksepana Mudra We study and practice the poses (as a group) to eventually own our asana (independently). |

Just keep COOKing (in silence for effortless enlightenment). Spring goddess salad, chocolate pots, homemade ‘perfect bars’ plus oats, three berry muffins, classic stuffed bell peppers. 💚🤍❤️ |

| Berries, dairy, crystal. 🍓🐮💎 |
 |
| Germans liebe potato salad. |
 |
| Chocolate pots all around. |
 |
| Greek salad is pretty in pink and green. |
 |
| Just add granola: substantial Greek yogurt and berry dessert to prevent late night snacking. |

| Camatkarasana - Wild Thing Pose |
I go gaga for fashion and design inspo when out and about. Secluded to a yacht for 7 days was, surprisingly, no exception. The staff on our latest seaward adventure has me thinking: What are the attractive and serviceable uniforms that allow me to execute dutifully? …
Yacht crew uniforms create a professional and cohesive image for your team, enhancing the overall guest experience aboard luxury vessels. These uniforms ensure your team looks polished but also promote unity and functionality in their demanding roles. High-quality yacht staff uniforms are designed for comfort and durability, meeting the unique challenges of life at sea. Investing in professional yachting uniforms reflects a commitment to excellence and sets a refined tone for your yacht’s operations. -liquidyachtwear.com

| Camatkarasana - Wild Thing Pose ‘Astonished’, ‘Miracle’ |
Vacation vibes: Lots of family trips lately, lots of lovely bonding, but it is time to park the traveling circus and put a romantic getaway on deck. We have it all, just not all at once by reflecting on each excursion’s aims, expectations and emphasis ahead of time as not to miss the holiday’s inherent distinctive opportunity.

| Vasisthasana - Side Plank Pose, Starfish |
 |
| Sukhasana - Easy Pose, Neck Side Stretch Underlying everything - Pranayama is to yoga what attitude is to life. |
My children’s Waldorf school aligns with the very essence of how (and with whom) I believe they should be spending their days; and the details of our life are worked around the decision to have them there.
 |
| Ardha Eka Pada Galavasana - Baby / Half Flying Pigeon Pose What feels suitable with the floating leg? |
 |
| Manduka Malasana - Frog Garland Pose Squat Playful, with movement: childlike. |
 |
| Malasana - Garland Pose, Low Squat, reaching forward Self-actualize. |
Watch your step - it is (almost) all snake oil out there. I say be (very) skeptical of any THING or ANYONE - “authority, expert” - OUTSIDE of yourself promising YOUR self improvement; only the self can self-actualize.
 |
| Koundinyasana II - Flying Splits Pose 2, Preparation Pausing here often during Vinyasa. This is an accurate representation of what I generally wear to yoga: dark leggings, a lightweight, medium tone half-length undertank, and a looser (often grey) soft top tucked in. With a rose quartz colored cotton mat. |
Color TONALITY is important when dressing - take into account how much CONTRAST you do or do not have regarding your skin, eyes, and hair (and shade changes due to age, health status, tanned skin, sun-kissed tresses …).
Hint: Not everyone looks great in black. 🌞 🖤

| Ashta Chandrasana - High Lunge, arms extended forward Let us train for the strength and control to improve our posture. |
By refining our physical comportment we will, in turn, upgrade numerous facets of our lives (or so I have been told 😉… still a sloucher over here 😬).
 |
| Vasisthasana Vinyasa - Side Plank Dance 🪩 Move in vinyasa manner to find your groove; embrace certain elements (and omit others) to make the practice your own. ☃️ |
 |
| I wore a more traditional bralette today for my AM movement and, boy, did I regret it. It was sweet with lace, constructed from organic cotton and seemed benign enough, but I was suffocating by the hours end with that tight-ish band encircling my ribcage and constricting my lung expansion, I couldn’t wait to rip it off (and toss it out)! |
‘Burn’ any BRA that restricts - strangles! - your diaphragm. Wear soft, little camisoles without the throttling punishment of asphyxiation, or simply go bare, and fully breathe in life once again!
