Yoga takes care of it all - even your tresses. For an enviable mane - head to your yoga studio to recalibrate your hormones, lower your stress, invert your blood flow (stretch your heart muscles), massage your head (rejuvenate your brain) and your ‘coat’ will surely show it. Also, the yogis know all of the natural tricks long before they become mainstream (Castor Oil, Scalp Massagers…) hang out at the Shala long enough and you’ll be sure to pick them up.

Place a block under your sacrum and let the facial magic happen. ✨ 

Inversions lift the spirits and your face; reverse gravity and turn back time with Yoga.

Branded ~ Personal Style

Illustration tan girl yellow slip dress cute fun pretty drawing
Personal style so distinctive it’s a brand.

Oh, how I aspire to join the ranks of those with strong, distinguishable (marketable) style perspective, but, alas, I just like so many things!

🌼 Ditzy Bimbo 🌼

Fun pink illustration tan girl sparkles hearts flowers
What is a girl to do?

I have a penchant for embarrassing myself. Hopefully it amuses others and maybe puts them at ease? This blonde likes to have fun and doesn’t mind looking like a lunatic doing it (knocking over cups full of pens in a solemn bank meeting 😬, showing up to the pool opening - and swimming! - 2 days early with 6 kids in tow: “why is no one else here?” 😬, bopping around town with my shirt inside-out 😬, stating my drive-thru order loud and clearly into the trash can placed en route to the speaker 😬, and on and on all the days long…)

Happy-go-lucky, carefree and a bit daffy while hard-working in my home, active at our school, engaged in the neighborhood, out-and-about in my community…

When actively occupied both at-home and about-town, faux pas are bound to happen and, in my case, it is gaffes galore!! You are welcome?🙏

Commitment to Excellence ~ Camatkarasana

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

Hand-me-downs ~ Virabhadrasana I

Virabhadrasana I - Warrior One 
The color of the heart is green.

I am stuck on the Stuff Merry-Go-Round. Packing for a family of six makes me lose my mind a little. I have beneficially and appropriately kept and corralled many, many seasons and sizes of duds and doo-dads, but this again? How many times can I unbox, unfold, sort, fold, wash, dry, sort, fold, pack, unpack, sort, shakeout, dust off, examine, sort, fold, keep, pass along, repeat …

Ordination ~ Ardha Eka Pada Galavasana

Ardha Eka Pada Galavasana - Baby / Half Flying Pigeon Pose
What feels suitable with the floating leg?

We must forgo 80% of everything (we do, own, don, desire etc.) if we would like a ‘signature’ anything, and much more if ‘iconic’ is the desired ordination.

Cotton? Linen? Silk? Spandex! ~ Ardha Kapotasana

Fly free with any clothing and all accessories.

How about not ‘yoga clothes’ for yoga. (Although I get it - cotton is heavy when wet and slow to dry!) 🤔

LBD NBD ~ Koundinyasana II

Koundinyasana II Flying Splits Pose 2 Yoga Yogini illustration drawing fun cute silly sweet
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. 🌞 đŸ–¤

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 😬).
