Open, ready, available

Tadasana - Mountain Pose

Thumbs interlaced.

It’s an eyes closed during yoga type of week. 😌

How to be open, ready and available? Listen more.

Inspiration

Urdhva Hastasana - Palm Tree Pose 

Hands interlaced, palms facing upward.

Get as high as you can onto those tippy toes!!

In case you’d like me to decide for you 😉 —

Your (OUR) 2026 resolution: Empty the cupboard, pull out the weeds; in order to enter 2027 clear and free.

Contemplation

Parsva Anjaneyasana - Low Lunge Side Bend Pose with block

For answers at first, revelations at last:

CONTEMPLATION sees everything, holds on to nothing. (Warning: takes years)

Dress like he’s your Ex

 

Parsva Anjaneyasana - Low Lunge Pose Side Bend

Auspicious animal sightings

 

🦅🐺🐻🦇🫎🦨🦉🦌🦊🦬🐈‍⬛🦫

Colorado is rife with wildlife encounters. 

I returned home from a quiet birthday dinner to  a mighty owl perched upon our basketball hoop. Be on the lookout for animal sightings - their auspiciousness and symbolism is up to you to determine and consider.

Hands like work

 

Virasana - Hero Pose

How do we quiet the mind and open the heart? By moving the hands. 

A weighty question has been pulling me down and dragging me back, but I found respite and lightness this morning by: unpacking our suitcases, setting up the advent, calling an artist to collaborate, writing checks, designing and sending an invitation, decorating a small tree, cooking a nourishing dinner… 🎄 

You know you

 

Urdhva Mukha Svanasana - Upward Facing Dog Pose

No one can or will ever know you like you know you. (Experts and gurus included.)

Surprise!

 .

Adho Mukha Svanasana - Upward Facing Dog, hands reversed 

Surprise yourself often or else! (Or else slowly, imperceptibly whither away).  🥀

Counsel

 

Parsva Bakasana - Side Crow Pose

Our guttural response to advice requested is it’s most illuminating aspect, don’t you think? Wink 😉. 

Peremptory

Anjaneyasana - Crescent Low Lunge variation 

Not ‘exalted’ or ‘reverse’ as the arm reaching back is on the same side as the extended back leg it is reaching for and pressing upon.

Evaluating friendships as of late and finding it is essential to follow the chemistry and foolish to ignore the kismet. 🌟 

Fishing for compliments

 

Matsyasana - Fish Pose

Feeling like a fish out of water is not a negative - embrace your quirky point of view without expecting anyone else to. 

When you feel it, you know

 

Baddha Konasana - Bound Angle Pose

Are all decisions better left to the heart ?? 💜❤️🧡
