Time to play! 🤸‍♂️ Looks fun right?! 🤩. This excerpt is a flow from Saturday’s Level 2/3 Fire Up 🔥 class! We activated glutes and core to prep for backbends, grounding and stabilizing, pulling into the core, then lengthening and opening the heart from a secure center. We definitely got hot and sweaty 😅! Creating flows is an embodied movement art practice for me and I love sharing it with others! 🤸‍♀️. I was inspired by this quote by Richard Wagner, “Joy is not in things: it is in us.”

What’s your takeaway from that quote?

I wonder, have you ever found yourself “bending over backwards” for another? It’s one thing to show up when a friend really needs support, it’s another thing to try and fix someone, get approval, or validation from them to feel whole, or to uphold an image built on an unstable foundation. In yoga, sometimes we can approach backbends the same way, overextending ourselves literally and losing our own connection to ourselves and our center of strength in our own core. Then we’re like “why does my back hurt?” Instead, center in self-security and inner peace first, know your boundaries, take care of YOURself first. Then you don’t need to seek joy or love from anything or anyone else. You will generate it!! Simple things will be enough, sunshine, birdsong, breath. And your back will thank you when you don’t need something else to hold you up, or someone to rescue you, when you can hold yourself up with your own self-regard. 🥰

Backbends are heart-opening, and relate to balance in relationships, balance in giving and receiving. It takes effort and courage to set those limits and hold back, and support yourself so you don’t “break” your back, that’s the core strength that will protect you. With that self-reliability, trust, and assurance you can feel safety and inner peace in yourself right now.

Thank you for the b***y music boost and Nicole for the affirmation cards!

Day 2 - Flip It Feb Challenge!!

1- My mindset and body have been challenged in trying to improve my snowboarding. 🏂 I get scared! And it really impacts my abilities and trust. So I’ve had to breathe, shake it out, and do it anyway to build trust and skills and when I’m relaxed my shredding flows and feels fun! Perspective is a game changer, too, after going on an Intermediate slope with a lot of ice, my usual green circle 🟢 felt way easier!

2- I’m a busy woman, teaching on campus, grading 132 papers a week, working in and ON and growing a business, engaged in multiple groups for personal and business development, and there are 4 kids who need me, and a spouse, and myself! I’ve been eating quick convenience foods, healthy, but not always balanced. I’ve been craving a good hearty vegetable 🥕 🍲 so I flipped my habit and made one today.

3- Just keeping up my regular handstand practice here. I don’t normally practice this daily but I’m doing so now for and honestly my skills do grow but more slowly than keeping up a daily or mostly daily practice. I was beat after snowboarding 🏂 today so I did a down dog on the couch, some shoulder shrugs and hip circles. It actually felt really good to go upside down after cruising (and falling a lot on my ass) on the mountain 🏔️.
