| Ardha Kapotasana - Half Pigeon Pose 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!) 🤔
 |
| 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 Padmasana - Side Plank Bound Half Lotus |
 |
| 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!
 |
| Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana - Standing Splits Pose with flair. |
Two thoughts to carry you through the weekend : ☝️ Let your yoga be silky (and not polyestery 😜). ✌️If you like to shop - as I do - become better at getting rid of things. 🎀💕🎈
 |
| Standing Fire Hydrant Poses - it will feel like all of a sudden, (but it is, in fact, 1.5 years of regularity with your habit!) that you feel one (little) level stronger. |
Standing fire hydrant pose? Poses with no names welcome.
Acknowledge and celebrate consistency and progress with more consistency and more progress.
 |
| 🌈Tadasana Hindolasana - Standing Cradle Pose. Just here being my embellished self. 🎀🐯🎄 |
How we do one thing is how we do everything. One look in my cabinet and I had to laugh - a collection of drawings on both my shelf stable household items and my perishables…

| Parivrtta Ashtachandrasana - Revolved High Lunge Pose |
 |
| Anuvittasana - Mountain Pose with Backbend 🏔️’Found’ Pose 🪐 |
 |
| Dance your yoga ~ unite with the divine. Inner peace and outer beauty are yours for the taking. |
 |
| Vrksasana - Tree Pose while auditioning clothes (yes, sparkle pink is coming with!). 🌸 |
“Being in ‘nature’ is good for us,” “get out into ‘nature’,” “commune with ‘nature’ daily,” “eat more naturally, wear natural fibers, naturalify your home…” — hold the phone — we ARE nature!!! ☎️
As I am perpetually attracted to and distracted by bright, shiny objects and innumerable looks, modas and trends, I have to condition myself not to try every cut, color and material …
We should (in times of limitless options) make our own little unspoken edicts (whilst free to disobey and evolve said mandates constantly). Such as :
FOR FASHION (currently) -
1. No writing. Strong personal pet-peeve, should be its own post.
2. No logos. Especially not on heart or head!!
3. No black. Unless for equipment, like sports.
4. No polyester. Though also OK for athletic / specialty purposes.
5. No bands around the diaphragm. Camisoles in lieu of bras.
6. Revolving door of anything goes undies.
7. No high-heels. Low heels on occasion. Thick soles for dusty country living.
8. Soft style hair ties.
9. Mascara is for special days.
10. Shop while on vacation. Too taxing during regular family-life days.
11. The word ‘fashion’ gets a bad rap - and I keep hearing use ‘style’, but I like the practicality of fashion being a ‘system, manner, method, approach’, and the DIY aspect that to fashion is to ‘make, manufacture, construct, build’.
Your mat = your own little world. Today I left my rose quartz colored, woven cotton yoga mat in the yoga studio’s ladies room. Sob! I’ll pick it up next time, of course. I use a yoga rug and cannot believe this style has not caught on (I’ve seen only one other) as I give it zero complaints and many acclaims. 💕
