Boating


Row row row your boat, gently down the stream.  A real one!  From vacation time….

Or pretend at home, with Charlie. (VIDEO at http://www.YogaNag.com)

Or grab your toes and hold on.
Whatever works.

Do yoga. Today. Everyday.

Peace and practice,

Sunday 

Happy Sunday friends.

I don’t usually have a big practice on a Sunday. I sleep in. I lay low. I am lazy! But I am doing this funny challenge, #sisterhoodoftravellingyogapants. So, I had to warm up enough for this doozy of a pose, and it is getting easier, as do most things with practice. It no longer feels like a face smash but can take the weight off of my face and even lift my chin a bit. Practicing with blocks under shoulders helps.

Maybe this isn’t your Sunday pose. Maybe yesterday’s yoga feels more like Sunday for you. Yep. I get that. Whatever it is, do #yoga. Today. Everyday.

Peace and #practice,

Fun Pose?? Friday


Working on this crazy hard balance pose (for me) as spured by a friend’s post on one of my pages. I haven’t tried it in a while. Still hard for me. But I managed to hold it numerous times yesterday and today. And I learned some interesting things, like you really need to hug in. And up. No sinking into floor or your bones. Muscles are on.

Then I built a brief flow around it, ending with the extendYoga fun pose of the day: http://extendyoga.com/blog/fun-pose-friday-puppy-pose. Perhaps it will appear in tomorrow’s Hot Power Flow at extendYoga, 9 am . See video at http://www.YogaNag.com, or below.

After all of the work, look who joined me for savasana. This dog. He gets me. Bursting Charlie love. What a good friend.

Do yoga. Today. Everyday.

Crabby Practice

Crabby practice. Or, feeling crabby, reflected in my practice. Nothing felt good. Or interesting. Or smart. Even child’s pose. Wahhhhh.

What to do? Depends on the day. Some days, keep plugging away. Some days, walk away. Some days, make some shit up. That’s what I did today. And it was sort of fun. It sort of lifted me out of the fog. I’ll be okay. I worked through it enough to know that.

What do you do when your practice isn’t your best moment, when it doesn’t feel good, when you don’t feel good?

Do #yoga. Today. Everyday.

Perspectives

Practicing something that scares the crap out of me. Once I did this without fear, trying to find my balance in handstand splits. Even in a class. Now I am scared. But I am trying to come back to it, slowly, with care. Today was my first foray.

And then….
…do something that makes me feel capable and strong. That used to scare me but feels okay now, even in the middle of the room, when I am here in my space, focused and alone.

Shift the perspective.

Do #yoga. Today. Everyday.

Here and There

Working here. Staying present in these backbends.And there, lingering in the sweet memories of handstands on the beach. 

Here and there.

In both places, I have very good company.

Do #yoga. Today. Everyday.
