Twelve days into the Okinawan handstand challenge and I can already feel a difference in my stability upside down. And I am playing around with stuff that never made sense before. Part of me really didn’t think this challenge would make a huge difference, as I practice regularly. And handstands, while not necessarily part of my daily practice, have become pretty common in my life. But it is already clear, this is definitely different. Very much so. Exciting! I can’t imagine what 120 days will feel like.

If you want to know more about the challenge, go to http://www.YogaNag.com and look down left menu for the Okinawan Handstand Challenge, including some video how tos.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Peace and practice,
Yoga Nag

Poor Charlie bear! Gets a mean kick in my practice. Go to very short video at http://www.YogaNag.com.  Listen to the sound. Ouchee. The risks of being a yoga puppy. Sad slice from some handstand videos I was making today to update the Okinawan Handstand Challenge blog with some “instructional” videos. Go check them out, in their entirety.

Do yoga. Today. Every day. Be mindful of your sweet creatures underfoot!

Peace and practice,
Yoga Nag

“The fact of a door frame.” Playing with handstand, and bam, this Adrienne Rich line falls from my lips out loud, from my previous life as English lit and women’s studies person. And then a meandering slither through the gush of memories and feelings from that time, all while I practiced. Yoga induced flashbacks. The fact of a door frame. Indeed.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Peace and practice,

Work hard. Play hard.

And we did. Great class. Great teacher. Great friends. Great studio. Some days are filled with so much greatness. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And sparkling on the outside. Tra la la la la.  I love Lika!

Where can you find some of that for yourself today? Perhaps it’s yoga. Perhaps it’s not. But give yourself a hit of greatness. Seriously. Go get some great. Somewhere.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Peace and practice,

London bridges falling down. Puppy play date yoga, and apparently, I am one of the puppies. It was a day of unsuccessful, clumsy, donkey-kick handstands. These pups quickly took the edge off.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Peace, puppies, and practice,

“Yoga is cool anywhere, even on wheels.” Direct quote caption. From my daughter. Trickle down effect is working.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

More often than not, it looks like this. But I still keep at it. Yard makes for a much softer landing.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Peace and practice,

Truth.
Mirrored in my sweat.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Show up and sweat,

Barely unrolled the mat, went for my tea, and BAM, Charlie takeover. First, a big sleeping pose. “Ahhhhhhh. This is just right. I am so glad she rolled it out for me.” Then when I arrive, a more challenging pose, as if asking, “Uhhhh, wait, this wasn’t for me. Are you going to ask me to move?”

Do yoga. Today. Every day. Even if someone steals your mat.

Peace, practice, pause,
Yoga Nag
