Hallucinating - Flapping Fish Pose

Matsya Kridasana - Flapping Fish Pose

My father once pointed out to me, his procrastinating daughter, “thinking about writing a thank you note and writing it are not the same thing.” As in the Japanese proverb: Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is chaos. 

Many Mountains - King Cobra 🐍

Raja Bhujangasana - King Cobra Pose 🐍

There are climb the mountain days, enjoy the view days, plan which mountain to climb next days … not everyday is a climb the mountain day. 

Alone - Flapping Fish Pose

Matsya Kridasana - Flapping Fish Pose

You can only do so much alone: release your pride, reach out to your network.

Annoying - Locust Pose

 

Salabhasana - Locust Pose
Strengthen your posterior chain.

Little reinvention opportunities are everywhere - it’s all those situations, people and things that annoy you!

Vacation Yoga ~ Push-Ups

Chaturanga - Low Plank

While on holiday, I’m one to skip any organized exercise all together and opt solely for playful movement. Another option (my husband’s) is simple pushups, sit-ups and squats first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. 

MISS YOU ~ Half Bound Lotus Boat Pose

Ardha Baddha Padma Navasana - Half Bound Lotus Boat Pose 

Get completely out of your norm (travel) to know exactly what you want your norm to be (what you miss).  

Advancement ~ Boat Pose Variations

Parivrtta Navasana - Revolved Boat Pose
Advanced poses require preparation, practice and repetition.

It (leading the yoga class, hosting the party, transcripting the meeting, writing the letter, giving the speech, remembering the names, traveling with young children) is NOT easy, but you will make it look that way through preparation, practice, and repetition. 

Summer Crush ~ Aparigraha

Sukhasana - Easy Pose
KISS 💋 Keep It Simple this Summer

LET GO and Let Summer 🌞 

DUH ~ Padangusthasana

Padangusthasana - Toe Stand Pose

APARIGRAHA - LET GO of wanting anyone to be anything other than who they are. DUH!!!

Life Dust ~ Toe Stand Twist - Ganesha Mudra

 

Parivrtta Prapadasana - Twisted Toestand Squat 

Ganesha Mudra

Remove all obstacles.

The nitty-gritty (grimy), survival-phase, practical-based lifedust is settling over here and the mythical, dazzling, yogic sparkle is revealing itself once again. APARIGRAHA - yogic letting go - is only figurative when we are growing a young family: in reality, it’s Hold On Tight or Else! But a lighter touch is now possible as the fog lifts (my body is my own again): goodbye clinging, grasping, clutching, gripping…

What I Wore 💖

I live to painstakingly plan outfits for travel and events: shoes, sheaths, snaps, wraps, cross-bodies, sparkles, jewels, clips, claws, hair… and then I -UGG - invariably forget to take photos!! Less focus on rare special occasions and a little more attentiveness to everyday styling (notably hair) could release this acute pressure to document and dampen the recurring disappointment. 💖

The only photo 😭 

Snapped upon returning home long after midnight…
