Yoga Off the Mat: continuing with the February theme of self-awareness, self-care and self-love, remember to be your own Valentine!❤️🥰 Don’t wait for someone else to care for you (although when they do, definitely accept the love!). Bring yourself flowers, prepare yourself a nourishing meal, spend some time alone or in nature. Care for yourself like no one else can!😊😍
Wishing you a loving Valentine's day ❣️

Yoga Off the Mat: this furry goat was hanging outside a high school for hours last weekend during a wrestling tournament—we have no idea who her person was and she seemed perfectly content to gnaw on bark! Kind of reminded me of a children’s song......AND got me scratching my head that this could be “normal”. This little goat, like yoga, got me questioning what we consider to be “right” and how others who think differently are “wrong”—think politics, gender identity, social norms....Perhaps we should all be like this goat: as long as we’re not hurting anyone else, just be content with who we are and what is right and true for us ☮️👍😌

Yoga Off the Mat—and on the Wrestling Mat! Watching my son and his team wrestle this season, I realized how much they could benefit from stretching and yoga to prevent physical injuries and to maintain focus and composure. That is true for SO MANY things! He and a teammate joined one of my yoga classes recently and really enjoyed it and felt the benefits. How does yoga help YOU off the mat?🤔☮️😌
MyYogaJoy Midweek Mantra: “getting back to basics strengthens my foundation” 👍☮️😌
Yoga Off the Mat: feeling puzzled lately? You can find greater clarity in a few simple steps! 😊 1) Maybe you need to get outdoors and move a little to shake off some static energy. Then you can slow down your breath to slow down your body and mind. 2) Just say “NO”—this may mean that you don’t volunteer for every fundraising activity under the sun, or it may mean enlisting help if you’re feeling overwhelmed at work or home. 3) Step into your Warrior mode: confident, grounded, smiling and victorious! You’ve got this👍😁
