Trikonasana - Triangle Pose

Instructors will most often cue the trikonasana drishti 👁️ upwards to the skyward reaching hand, but I prefer to gaze down when GROUNDing is called for. During TURBULENT times FOCUS on your FOOTING. Literally.

Buddha Konasana - Butterfly Pose 🦋 

It may feel inopportune (especially in social summer!) but when the appropriate resolve of a weighty decision is OBSCUREd, go inward. Alone time. NO OUTSIDE OPINIONS. Re-cocoon.  

 

Draw the line ✍️

 

Utkatasana - Chair Pose

Kind but firm. Generous but self-respecting. Where is the line? How do you draw it?

Press Pause

 

Vatayasana - Horse Pose

When matters get twisted, turned around, upside-down, fast-forwarded or rewound. Press PAUSE. 

Babies ARE yoga

 

Ananda Balasana - Happy Baby Pose

FYI Kids don’t need yoga class — CHILDREN are our GURUS. 😻🧚‍♀️

Foregone conclusion

 

Padangustasana - Toe Stand Pose

Expect the unexpected. Or surmise that it was entirely anticipated after all.

“Crazy”

 

Ardha Chandrasana - Half Moon Backbend, Bikram Yoga

Thank you, yoga, for defying prevailing social norms, values, and traditions. The crazier you are, the more I like you. 🎀 

Liberty 🗽

 

Ardha Chandrasana - Half Moon Pose in hot, Bikram, style Yoga 🧨

Ah, the sweet Liberty of not bothering with our inventive interpretation of what everyone else is supposedly thinking of us.🗽 

 

Bushwhack

 

Bhekasana - Frog Pose 

The more populated your area, the more critical to your survival it is to Bushwhack — to machete your own path !!! (As in, the herd is headed to the slaughterhouse — go your own way.) 😳

Alien 👽

 

Mandukasana - Frog Pose

Most times I have nowhere to be, which makes me practically an alien in this rushy-rushy society.
