Move. Breathe. Practice. 

​​Less words. More action. More movement. More moving with breath. 

Grateful for ALL OF THIS, slow, juicy fireside flow. (Video at http://www.YogaNag.com)

Sweet warm up for my current pose practice. Also some pretty sweet company.


I share this in collaboration with #gratitudeandgrace. Day 3. Join us. 
Led by the wise & wonderful @dianazotos, in partnership with @proskoyoga @erica_mather @patricialadis @francescacervero @medicalyogamom @giuliapline @traceyvincel@arianayoga @yoganag

Stone Temple Pilots Jam

From sadness to strength, practicing to the Stone Temple Pilots after hearing about Scott Weiland’s untimely death.

Practicing for real for the first time in over a week, eeks, maybe more.  (Yes, I have done some kind of yoga everyday, just not kick my butt, work hard physical yoga.)  Feeling so sloth like, winter body already here.  But by the fire, with Charlie and the Stone Temple Pilots, and then inspired to try something hard for me.  Bam.

(Two videos at http://www.YogaNag.com)

Life is short, friends.

Do yoga.  Today.  Something for you.  And tomorrow. And everyday. Even when I don’t nag.

Peace and practice,
Daisy

Saturday Workshop


Hi friends,
I am teaching a very sweet and small yoga workshop this weekend at Grace Studio in downtown Silver Spring. Give yourself some loving kindness in the form of a very well-rounded Saturday afternoon (1:30-3pm) practice, which will include: a brief, centering meditation, turning attention to the breath; a challenging, full-body vinyasa flow, integrating breath with movement; some important restorative work; and a deliciously-full Savasana. Join me and prepare to feel inspired, peaceful, and restored. Sounds pretty good, right? 🙏

Peace and Practice,
Yoga Nag

Yoga Playtime: Backbends Made More Fun (with two Yogis who aren’t big fans)!
with Lika Elwood and Daisy Whittemore
Sunday, March 29: 2 – 4pm
extendYoga, North Bethesda, MD

Do backbends bum you out or make you nervous?  Do you always opt for bridge pose when it’s time for backbends in class?  Is it hard for you to press up into wheel?  Or maybe you just want to learn more about how to make your backbends better?

Join Lika and Daisy—two yogis who don’t claim backbends as their favorites—for a playful workshop to make better friends with backbends in your practice. We will help you understand and work on what parts of you that need opening, and what parts of you need strengthening.  We’ll explore why it’s important to tap into the not-so-favorite poses and why/how they can help your practice in general.  We also hope to bring a little more levity to your backbend practice, both in body and spirit. It will actually be fun.  We promise.  Join us!

All levels welcome.
Cost: $30 per person (pre-registration required).  Sign up here.
