20141026-143319-52399623.jpgToday, I am working to keep my forearms hugging in. Whenever I use blocks for this kind of work, I think of my amazIng teacher and friend, the wise and wonderful @MariaHamburger, and her block parties. Hard, smart practice. Can be a little clumsy too. Especially at first. But worth the effort. I will be sore tomorrow in places I didn’t know existed. Try it.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

For more about Maria and her classes, go to Willow Street Yoga or http://www.facebook.com/GreatWindYoga. She is brilliant. For reals.

Peace and practice,

Half moon, #ardhachandrasana, for the mamas. Postnatal yogis floated their way there today with beautiful grace and power. Amazing women. Thank you, mamas, for sharing your pre- and post-natal lives. You bring me so much happiness and inspiration. Keep loving on yourselves in all ways, carving out the time for yoga and whatever else feeds your body and soul. It makes a difference when you do. For all of us–you, your babies, and everyone around you. Big love.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Peace and practice,

Beautiful friend, fellow yogi, and student–@amy_scarp–free handstanding on the shores of North Padre Island, Texas. Look at her go! This yoga practicing and teaching business is amazing. I am so grateful to participate in this powerful work….for myself, and for others. Visible progress is so satisfying and inspiring. Wow.

Happy Friday indeed. Keep on practicing. And I will too.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

When I meditate with my family in the house, I often feel like a sneaky little mouse, burrowing away to my own little nest. It makes it better for me in some ways. This stealth, cozy approach. And sometimes it feels as dreamy as this scene seems. Sometimes it’s clumsy and uncomfortable even within this seemingly delicious landscape. But still, I am always better no matter how it goes down.

So I grab the blankets, the bolster, the seat. I light the candles. I revel in the softness and quiet. The privacy. The sneaky little space I am carving out for myself. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Peace and practice,

Back bends aren’t my favorite. But I do love Vasistasana. Combining the two, and backbends aren’t so bad. Working on un-clunking these transitions. And not holding my breath. But I get a little scared…

Dog tags. For the Okinawan 120-day handstand challenge. Jingle jingle they go all day. Love the reminder. Thanks to Adam for the sweet gift, to @extendYoga for hosting the challenge and, of course, to my fellow handstanders for the great group effort. I am in such good company.

Do yoga. Today. Every day.

Finding ease even in the tough spots. How? Sometimes it is breath. Sometimes it is letting go of some holding pattern. But more often than not, I have found it is engaging somewhere else, or engaging more fully, reaching, pressing, grounding, which allows more breath, and dismantles the holding pattern, and then bam, a moment of softness unveils itself. We will begin to work on this tonight at my candlelight slow flow @extendYoga 7:15 pm, one hour. http://extendyoga.com

Do yoga. Today. Every day.
