Sunshine almost always makes me happy. Even with this core connecting (euphemism for crunching) block party. (And yes, those are Charlie teeth marks on the block. And/or cat Murphy’s. Our pets love on the blocks.)

Do yoga. Today. Outside. If possible. Spring is here.

Kickin’ back @willowstreetyogacenter in between taking a class and teaching a class. What a great gig, wish I could do this every Wednesday. Paula’s class was particularly juicy and nurturing. Ahhhhh. I love yoga. Do some. Today. Every day. If you can, get to a class. Such a luxury.

Making peace with dancer. Hmmmm. I should do this pose every day. It is a pose I dislike. A pose that reveals where I am holding stuff. Where I feel tight, closed even. Where I feel weak. A pose that opens the messy storage locker of me. Small public admission that I need to work on it, because I do. And because the universe said so through @extendyoga today. Okay. Maybe.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

GROW your #practice by focusing on something that you love. Headstand in any variation! I love to be upside down on my head, even when my belly shows. #freshstartyoga work for the day is a delight. Thanks @amyippoliti! It’s true, when focusing on something I love, I work much harder.

What do you love in your practice?

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

#freshstartyoga for today looks back. @jason_crandell asked us to look to one of our first memories of yoga, a pose, a person, a place. While I started yoga in my 20s, it was intermittent, and I didn’t really take it seriously until I was in my 40s and a full time mom of three, including twin boys who were born 10 years ago today! Being a mama to these boys and their big sister is my best yoga, off the mat (and sometimes on). Every single day. And my yoga practice, on the mat, makes me a much better mama. Mom and yogi are intricately intertwined. So, here is me as mom of three, first day. 10 years ago today.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

What grounds you? is the #freshstartyoga practice of the day, thanks to @kathrynbudig. So much in yoga grounds me. It is one of the main reasons I practice. This whirling dervish of a human needs to stop and breathe for my life to work well. Standing poses are great for me. Seated poses. Lying on my back poses. All good. But my favorite go-to yoga when I need to feel my roots firmly planted is mantra and meditation. I sit myself down. In front of my puja. To chant. Breathe. Find my center. Feel the earth. Feel my body sitting on the earth. Feel gratitude for this body, this earth, this practice, and all of those who surround and guide me. This part of the practice is my best anchor. Always.

What grounds you?

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Revitalize with #freshstartyoga day 2. Inspired by #gypsetgoddess, looking at my often overlooked side. For me, moving into handstand, I favor one leg. So, tonight, I kicked up all quick like with the other, expecting to be super clumsy. And bam, found my plumb line first try. Hover. Surprised myself. Fresh start indeed. Perspective switcherooo.

Trying something new. Something fresh. In honor of this new month and season. Renew and refresh with the #freshstartyoga challenge. For me, this looks like leaving my house for yoga more often. Stepping out of this door (where sweet Charlie is sleeping snuggled up to yes, my sweaty hot yoga towel) and hitting my mat out in the world. Today, like yesterday, I am feeling grateful for outside motivation @corepoweryoga. Just doing what the teacher says is divine some days. I have been trying out their hot power fusion class. Interesting sequence. Incredibly hot room. Cleansing practice. Mixing it up.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Sweaty Betty. Hot yoga. I can never kick my own asana as much as a class can. Grateful for the options. Trying out @corepoweryoga with a groupon. The diversity of yoga is fascinating. There really is a yoga for everyone. Find yours.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Funky dog? Funky lunge? Hip help on a rainy Saturday. Thanks to Christina Sell. Legs in Vira II (I could be sitting a little deeper but my hips are tight and cranky today, taking it slow). Walk hands out to a 45 degree angle away from you on the floor, shoulder width apart. Drawing front thigh parallel to long side of mat, eg, knee directed toward 2nd and 3rd toe, sitting bone drawing underneath of you. Press hands down and away. Ahhhhhhhh. Maybe better picture tomorrow.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.
