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 timeContinue reading “Home: Awaken”

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,Continue reading “Home: Recognize”

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 sinceContinue reading “Mat Choices”

Dedicate: Liberate

Today was day 30 of 30.  Yes, I had all day that I could’ve completed the 36 minute practice.  As I am home all day with the children for another snow day.  Something about getting it in first thing though, really does it for me. I went to the mat just before 7am.  This wasContinue reading “Dedicate: Liberate”

Dedicate: Dedicate

I am on day 28 of my 30 day yoga journey.  Yoga makes me feel different than anything else I have ever actively participated in.  It makes me feel connected, powerful and strong.  I am sure that there are a million people out there who like some other yoga practice better, but my favorite isContinue reading “Dedicate: Dedicate”

Dedicate: Power

My yoga practice today focused on power.  The power that we find within ourselves on that mat can lead to power off the mat if we allow it to. Can you imagine how great your day would be if you believed that you held the power to make it great? Whatever you believe about yourselfContinue reading “Dedicate: Power”

Dedicate: Joy

Today’s yoga practice was focused on Joy!!  I know that I feel more joyful through my days just because I meet at the mat every morning.  My word for 2017 was joy, the idea of choosing joy.  I still work to meet this goal every day.   Joy is a decision.  A really brave oneContinue reading “Dedicate: Joy”

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 toContinue reading “Dedicate: Steady”

Dedicate: Light

Day 21/30 happened this morning.  Bright and early, by 6:30 am I was all done with my practice for the day.  I can not emphasize enough how much I love Yoga With Adriene. Do yourself a favor and go check it out if you haven’t already. Today we talked about light.  Our own personal lightContinue reading “Dedicate: Light”
