Home: Awaken

Day 3 back at the mat first thing in the morning.  I will be honest when I say that for the last 2 days I didn’t even make it through the entire practice.  I gave myself GRACE though.  My word for the year.  That some time on that mat was certainly better than no time

Intend

Today the word at the mat was intend.  This word really struck me because it was my word of the year in 2019.  In addition to that, Adriene kept saying “You can cultivate your intention” our words and our thoughts are powerful things.  Well, Cultivate was my word of the year in 2018.  More than

Home: Recognize

A new year means a new 30 day yoga journey with Adriene!  Yoga with Adriene is a favorite for me.  I can do it in my own home, at a time that works for me and without any judgment.  Interested in yoga, but haven’t started yet?  Google Adriene.  Many videos on Youtube available.  Long, Short,

Mat Choices

“Be kind to yourself and then bring that kindness to others.” #yogawithadriene I don’t remember the last time I made it to the yoga mat.  I am not sure if I have written about it in a previous post at all.  But, I have had a hard time getting back on the health train since

Dedicate: Steady

Steady: Supported or Balanced Man…this should be someone’s word for the year.  Maybe, I will hold onto it and use it for 2020. Foundationally (this should be a word) speaking, I supposed that it isn’t much different from from Purposeful Living.  After all, that is based on balance. The idea behind today’s lesson is to

Dedicate: Courage

I have had a lazy day today and it has been amazing.  All 6 kids are here and they are just enjoying each other’s company and have happily taken over the downstairs.  So, the hubs and I camped out in bed.  We stayed in jammies until about 20 minutes ago and binged on Netflix. Finally

First Monday of 2019

Last Monday found us lazily in bed for awhile.  Then off to a couple of breweries and some dinner, before we headed home to ring in the New Year. This Monday our alarm went off at 5:30.  I had prepped the coffee pot and packed my husband’s lunch last night, so I didn’t have much

Dedicate: Flow

Today was day 5 of my 30day Yoga Journey, Dedicate. The theme for today was flow. The flow of your body. Really just showing your movements and your breaths to flow together. This is in fact why yoga is so good for me. Focusing on my breathing and then coordinating that with my movements. You

Dedicate: Feel

Back to the Mat for the 4th time in a row today.  Man is it feeling good.  Today was a shorter practice that I was thankful for, but I am still feeling it in my core. At the end of the practice Adriene left us with this “Set an Intention to Feel.”  Well…since Intention is
