I really needed this today. Dave walked in and saw me and said, “never mind”. He knows it does me good. Thank you for your knowledge and compassion.
Thanks for that. I could feel my energy bouncing back and forth 😉
you make me smile, thanks for this post!!
Yoga Off the Mat: this little painted rock appeared by our mailbox recently! 😃 Seems like our neighbor children were making arts and crafts and spreading random acts of kindness up and down our street💛💛💛 They left messages at each mailbox: “happy”, “smile”, “giggle”, “love”, “kind family”, “hope”.... what random positivity and kindness have you seen lately? Comment below! And if you haven’t noticed any, perhaps you’re the one who needs to share some? 🤔🥰😊
Join me for morning yoga practice--it's free and we're just going to see how it flows! Feel free to share this, replay it, and by all means comment with your feedback 🙂 For more like this, go to Beyogainavon.com to sign up for my Tuesday and Friday "Rise and Shine" classes and more!

Could still see and hear you as you were checking out your recording. Ok more to come
Let’s see if we can pick up where we left off
Yoga Off the Mat: do you feel like life has taken a giant detour lately? And perhaps you’re getting mixed messages or conflicting information, like this sign pointing one way and the stick person walking the other direction? 🤪 Remember that you can always return to your breath as a source of centering, mindfulness, and meditation, even if it’s only for half a minute. Your breath is always with you, the clouds will eventually part, and we will get through this challenge, “stronger together” 👍🤗

Yoga Off the Mat: I’m not even sure what to say about this video!😂 I encountered these little tchotchkes (yes, I looked up the spelling and definition!) in my mom’s spare bedroom—their squeaking solar energized movement gave me a scare!😱 and then I had to laugh! 🤣 What has surprised, delighted or just made you smile in the past few days? 🤔 Remember that smiling is good for your immunity, is positively contagious, and it just feels good, too 😊☮️👍
