Trikonasana - Triangle Pose

Instructors will most often cue the trikonasana drishti ๐Ÿ‘️ 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.

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.

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.) ๐Ÿ˜ณ
