Half full

Tadasana - Mountain Pose

How much of yoga class is spent in this pose? How often in life are we standing still in the commonplace? More or less half of our time/life energy? So, how serene and stoic of a mountain can we be?  ⛰️

After you

Phalakasana, Kumbhakasana, Utthita Chaturanga Dandasana - High Plank Pose
Couples are yoga 💙

Kumbhakasana - breath retention. Hold your breath BRIEFLY before lowering into push-up position, Chaturanga Dandasana. Outside the studio, pause only temporarily before committing to a decision. And TAKE TURNS with your other half, arbitrating according to your particular strengths. This is what partnership is for.

Mast

 

Dandasana- Staff Pose (him) / Sirsasana - Handstand (Her)
Couples are yoga 🧡

Note to self - learning a handstand means actually practicing a handstand. The grass is greener and softer in Summer - enlist your partner and get to practicing al fresco.

Fantastic

 

Balasana - Child’s Pose (him) / Supta Utthita Tadasana - Reclined Mountain (her)
Couples are yoga.

Small hints are big messages. Catch wind of a minor suggestion (from your beloved) and take it seriously; act expeditiously and then revel in real life as it becomes better than fantasy. 🏔️

Substitute Teacher

Curtsy Lunge 👑 

By structuring our days as routine and regular as viable, variations become happy surprises and enhancements. Like the substitute yogi teacher who shares her barre skills.

👖 pairing down

Salamba Sarvangasana - Supported Shoulder Stand

So, if a city girl in a temperate climate should own 3-4 pairs of jeans that means a country girl in a four-seasons-in-one-day location can own 12? 😜

Asana

Asana - Sitting Down

‘Asana’ - ‘Posture’? ‘Pose’? Yes, BUTT…

ASANA - from Sanskrit ‘Sitting down’. SEAT.  

Equilibrium. Stability. Equipoise of rest and effort.
