stepping on to the mat

stepping onto the mat each day brings forth the grace that constantly flows yet in the constant flow I wonder - how it is so easy to forget that sense of inner divinity i smile at how nothing is as clear off the mat as it is on the mat off the mat i constantly stumble but when on i flow like a rolling thunder heart and lungs driving my locomotive body inhale tadasana to high mountain exhale down to uttanasna inhale ardha uttanasa looking forward and the joyful exhale jump back chatturangua dandasana inhale urdva mukha savasana exhale adho mukha savansana inhale bending the knees looking forward exhaling and end of exhale flying back to uttanasna and inhale rising all the way up high mountain exhale back to tadasana anjali mudra and the vinyasa is complete i am complete whole, so complete and beautiful just as I always was yet so easy i somehow forget all that love and grace

namaste,

love and grace

Padmasana

just pause

you are spectacular in this moment

the wind is blowing just right outside

its Sunday

a fine day to connect to body

move your legs into Padmasana

root down through the sit bones

inhale up and lengthen the spine
let the body find

   a dignified posture

relax the shoulders
relax the jaw

let the eyes fall silent

bring awareness to the third eye

notice the breath
