“The fact of a door frame.” Playing with handstand, and bam, this Adrienne Rich line falls from my lips out loud, from my previous life as English lit and women’s studies person. And then a meandering slither through the gush of memories and feelings from that time, all while I practiced. Yoga induced flashbacks. The fact of a door frame. Indeed.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Peace and practice,

Work hard. Play hard.

And we did. Great class. Great teacher. Great friends. Great studio. Some days are filled with so much greatness. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And sparkling on the outside. Tra la la la la.  I love Lika!

Where can you find some of that for yourself today? Perhaps it’s yoga. Perhaps it’s not. But give yourself a hit of greatness. Seriously. Go get some great. Somewhere.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Peace and practice,

“Yoga is cool anywhere, even on wheels.” Direct quote caption. From my daughter. Trickle down effect is working.

More often than not, it looks like this. But I still keep at it. Yard makes for a much softer landing.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Mirrored in my sweat.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Barely unrolled the mat, went for my tea, and BAM, Charlie takeover. First, a big sleeping pose. “Ahhhhhhh. This is just right. I am so glad she rolled it out for me.” Then when I arrive, a more challenging pose, as if asking, “Uhhhh, wait, this wasn’t for me. Are you going to ask me to move?”

Do yoga. Today. Every day. Even if someone steals your mat.

Peace, practice, pause,
Yoga Nag

Yoga Nag is taking a breather, some time away from the daily internet play, the challenges, the constant connection to my phone and computer. August is time for me to turn it all off. And tune in. To me. Without the constant input and distraction the amazing electronic world provides.  I am sure I will pop back in but won’t be doing the daily nags and connection.

Thank you for your inspiration, your encouragement, your lessons. And for your love. It matters. It makes me a better yogi. A  better teacher. And a better human.

Please keep practicing. Keep shining your light and encouraging others to practice, all of us working together to show up, in this big, beautiful life, both on our mats and off.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Peace and pauses from my mat, and my world, to yours,

✨✨✨❤️💜💚💛💙✨✨✨✨

WILD THING, you make my heart sing.

Maha gratitude to the wild and wonderful Instagram community for a fun and super hard challenge, #independenceARMy. I learned a ton this month.

There are so many ways to learn and practice yoga, including online social communities. I find them helpful and inspiring most days. Some don’t. That’s okay.

Do your yoga. Today. Every day.

Thanks to
@laurasykora17 @beachyogagirl @kinoyoga @glyderapparel. And some sweet love to the fantastic angel ARMy: @extendyoga @yogioneandonly @yoginaomi @cardigansarah

Practicing #peacock with a strap is so satisfying. I believe I can fly!

salabasana

#Salabasana/#Locust pose variations. When I try it with my legs together in this variation with arms facing palm down underneath me, my legs lift less than a foot off of the ground, my neck feels cranky, shoulders hunchy, low back tense, elbows screaming mad, and my chin gets raw. Whining? Perhaps. But also signs that I am not there. So, easy does it.  I back off, practice one leg at a time, building strength and opening the places that need opening, followed by some sweet child’s poses. Ahhh…..better.  That is my yoga.

Do yoga. Today. Honoring you. Where you are.  In your practice. In your life.

Peace and pauses,
