Beach Yoga with Malissa

Family Yoga

Practice yoga with your kids.

Tesch them to be aware of their bodies.

How they feel.

How they move.

Teach them focus.
And stillness.

Teach them a togetherness you can share for a lifetime.

Warrior 1 - Virabhadrasana 1

"Whatever you are physically, male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside."

- Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

Side Plank - Vasisthasana

Greet the week with open hearts...

And open minds...

Eagle Pose -Garudasana

"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart." ~Carl Jung

Crow - Bakasana

You are not alone.

No matter how hard you try to be.

Inverted Lotus - Padmasana

Some days, I am strong in my practice.
I feel new, somehow.
I do new things.

Some days, I am not feeling as strong.
I feel new, somehow.
I do old things.
They don't feel the same.

My challenge is to really connect with who I am in my present practice.
Knowing that I struggle to do the same things I did 16 years ago.
Knowing I have struggled through and can do things I didn't think I would.

It's who you are in a moment.
That moment.
The moment.
It's who you are when you get there.

Outdoor Yoga - Om In the Outside

Om. On the inside.

It's hot.

There are noises.

But as your practice progresses, the noise becomes a hum.

A mantra.

At one with your breath.

And your life.

Outside, you connect to life.

The life of your fellow practitioners.
The life of the Earth.

Crickets.
Birds.

And by the end you are connected to a greater spirit.

In a new way.

Do yoga outside.
Connect with the Earth.
Let it connect with you.
