Pose of my day: Lunge. Not into Christmas future. Nor the past. Trying to stay in the present. Front knee over ankle. Settling down, heavy in hips. Pressing through back heel, keeping back leg straight and strong, lifting inner thigh up. Hugging legs toward each other, drawing front hip crease back, squaring hips. Rising onto fingertips and drawing shoulder blades together. Heart lifts, shines forward.

B R E A T H I N G.

It’s 5 o’clock. Sit down. Close your eyes. Feel the heaviness of your legs and pelvis. Lengthen your spine, crown of your head reaches toward the sky. Soften your shoulders away from your ears. Relax the muscles in your face and jaw.

B R E A T H E. In and out through your nose. Easily. Without effort. Turning your attention to your breath. Without making changes, just landing your awareness on the natural pulsation of you. Watch yourself inhale. Watch yourself exhale. Try at least 18 full cycles of breath.

Much better than a cocktail.

Yoga Nag mixing it up. Hitting the evening time.

First time lift off. For reals. Felt the float and hover. Wow. Then face plant. Haven’t even tried this pose in months. Progress comes sneaking along in continued practice, sometimes even in the poses we are avoiding. Especially when with good friends, on fun Friday.
