Do I look like a heron? Inspired by @extendyoga FUN POSE FRIDAY to do a pose I never do. This one took some warm up for sure. And yes, it was fun–all of it, the warm up, the shape, and the breath that came with it. I love yoga. Thanks extendYoga!

BALANCE. Stand on one foot. Balance. Breathe. Then stand on the other. Balance. Breathe. Any variation. Just find your balance and breathe. Why? So many reasons. For those of us who still consider ourselves young-ISH, today’s reason is about aging well, keeping all of our parts intact and not falling…by practicing our balance now, today. More on this in the Washington Post today, http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/work-on-your-balance-now-to-avoid-falls-when-youre-older/2013/06/24/5c49349c-d813-11e2-a9f2-42ee3912ae0e_story.html
If balance is hard for you, keep practicing, hold onto a wall at first and get used to shifting weight from one foot, and then the other. Also, use a spot, keeping your eyes focused on a point on the floor about 4-5 feet in front of you.
If balance is easy for you, keep practicing, challenging yourself by lifting gaze upward or away to one side. Or even closing your eyes.

Yep. It’s true. Some moments are entirely superficial. I love these new pants so much I am giving them a hug. So there. Not leggings but super good for moving around the mat. And around town. Now I can go to Montana where that state rep is trying to ban leggings.

A friend and student handstanding on the other side of the world. In New Zealand on the west coast of the South Island. Totally beautiful and inspiring, right? Rock on Mark!

So many ways to take care of these bodies. I am getting some help from the experts: smart PT for this hip of mine. Part of which includes electrical stim. time. Definitely good stuff. Even has a meditative quality.
Take care of your bodies!

Hello friends!
I think I may be crawling out from underneath this heavy rock called winter. I don’t know for sure. There is still some snow in my front yard in MARYLAND! But the sun is shining and temps are rising. I am feeling a return, which may mean more nagging again.
Here’s something I have been doing. More movement and focusing on my breath throughout the day, as compared to one long single practice. Shoulder shrugs, stretching, wiggling, dancing, smiling, breathing. Ahhhh. It does make my body and my mind feel infinitely better.
So….right now: Stand up. Wiggle. Stretch. Dance. Smile. Breath moves in. Breath moves out. And maybe even do a little yoga. Now. Today. Throughout the day. Everyday.

Yes. It is snowing again. A sense of dread rises to the surface. Complaints lick my lips. More winter. Ugh. But we open the door. See the snow. Hear the quiet. It is beautiful.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Then it starts sleeting. Eww. Same response. Breathe in. Breathe out.
Do #yoga. Today. Everyday.
