Latest Yoga Notes
MyYogaJoy Monday wrings out stagnation with Revolved Chair Squat (Parivritta Utkatasana) 😁🤗☮️
Yoga Off the Mat: sometimes it’s hard to distinguish what’s up from what’s down, and maybe it’s all one and the same ☮️ Reflecting on nature’s beauty, the lessons that present themselves, and the opportunity to look at things differently 🙏🏻
I always twist the other way - towards the knee that’s up
Good to know!
Cool to see you live!
Namaste
Hey rRoberta!
🙏🙏
Yoga Off the Mat: where is your happy place? And how do you practice self-care? For me, it’s often taking a walk in nature.☮️ and when the weather doesn’t invite me for a walk, I can still scroll through photos that remind me to breathe.... Hope this reminds you, too!😉😊
Woods & water
Yoga Off the Mat: whether it’s a moment, a feeling, a breath, a season....everything has a beginning, a middle, and an end😌 These woods have vibrant green leaves, golden leaves that have changed color and gotten crispy on the edges🍁, and naked gray branches whose leaves have completely fallen already, only to add to the soil that will nourish a new beginning of leaves next spring🌿 And if you look closely, you can see swirling leaves that just float without any agenda. Here’s to embracing the changes in our lives and honoring the beginnings, the middles, and the ends that become new beginnings again☮️

Yoga Off the Mat: this week’s theme: Patience.... with others, with the process, with yourself, with what is. The leaves don’t hurry to change in the fall, they unfold precisely at the time that they should. Who or what is calling for your patience?

Yoga off the Mat: this piece commemorates a historic train wreck. Not very inspirational, you say?!🤔 The thing that drew me to this was that in the midst of the “wreck”, precisely where the train derailed and the journey went off the tracks, there is new life growing right in the middle of it, even though it may not be obvious at first glance. Sometimes we just need to be open to the opportunities in the middle of the mess 😌☮️💗

MyYogaJoy Monday brings you stretch, strength, balance and fun with this Eagle variation! 🦅👍💪☮️😁
Yoga off the mat: this cracks me up!🤣 On a recent “walk”, my daughter caught me with this candid photo. If you zoom in on my face, it kinda looks like I’m trying to keep the rocks from crushing me! Which brings me to this week’s theme: maintaining balance in the midst of life’s busyness; cultivating healthy boundaries and being intentional with what and whom you let in as well as what you say “no” to. 😌☮️ For more on this, check out my upcoming appearance on NBC’s CT LIVE! on Monday, September 16th @ 11:30 😁👍
Roberta I absolutely needed this message today. Thank you for your dedication to yoga on and off the mat. 😘
I love this picture!
