Transition play.

From Tadasana, flow to Vira 2. Reverse your warrior. Side angle. 1/2 moon. Standing splits (or my small variation on them). Bend both knees, lifted one comes behind standing one. Back to standing splits. Again but pause, hands to heart in bent knee balance. Standing splits. Again but twist around, landing hands on ground, elbow pressing into thigh, chatturanga arms and lift to arm balance. Open legs to Eka pada koundinyasana I. Close legs, foot to floor, opposite leg high in standing splits on other side. 1/2 moon other side. Vira 2. Flow to Tadasana.

Good times.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Focus the eyes. Focus the attention. Find your steadiness. A tip for balance poses. Find one spot in front of you, on the ground or ahead of you, a spot that is easy to see, a spot that is not moving (eg, not yourself in the mirror or your neighbor), and don’t take your eyes off of it. In yoga, this is often called your #drishti. There are other focal points of drishti, such as staring at the tip of the nose or third eye, for example, or using gaze to deepen your consciousness and enhance a sense of oneness. But when learning to balance, using a fixed gaze technique–focusing on one unwavering spot–can often transform a wobbling, falling down tree into a stable one. Try it.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

And some days my definition of yoga is very broad. Breathe in. Breathe out. Rest. Find ease.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

P E A C E. Ahhhhh. Life feels so good after a hot and sweaty yoga class. I love yoga. Maha gratitude to my awesome local flow studio @extend, the generous @arletkoseian, and the great @likaelwood for always making me feel so good. And hanging around to chat too. 😀 Happy Friday indeed.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Honor or challenge the natural currents of life? This is my constant question. In a current ebb in my practice. Feeling low, slow, easy. Do I wrestle with it, encourage myself to keep on keeping on? Or linger in the low down, allow the slow flow? Typing this, I know the answer. At least for today. Not either/or but both. Honor where I am. And practice with that in mind. Ok. I will. Go slow. Be low. And see where it takes me.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

I bow to my awesome children, their excellent teachers at the Black Belt Martial Arts Center, and my beautiful partner in this big life of ours. Today was black belt testing for all three kids, two provisional, one first degree.

It has been a long, wide, exciting, sometimes bumpy road to this day. Everyone has worked hard, practicing with care, dedication, and intention. And it has paid off. It is a great day. We are almost there.

“Practice and all is coming.”
