Yoga Tip: Yoga for the Holidays 3

Week three here of yoga for the holidays series (see week 1 and week 2). This week I was inspired by Meghan Currie, this unreal yoga teacher, who creates time lapse videos of her practices. It's a nice way to see the entire practice and get inspired. So today I am uploading two videos. The first is the first 10 minutes of my practice in real time- a gentle ten minutes to set an intention of being present, to get the circulation going, and get the muscles and mind warm and happy. The second video is my entire practice this morning in fast forward- apologies in advance for my husky making a high five appearance at the end. He doesn't like being left out of the spotlight. Have a merry weekend!

Yoga Tip: Video for Balance

Here's a 6 minute yoga flow that works on balancing. Warm the body up first before you go into it, and be sure to always move in a pain-free range. Subscribe to my YouTube channel to be updated when I post new ones. Happy Friday, friends! 

Yoga Tip: 12 Min Power Vinyasa

Here's a twelve minute power vinyasa routine that will get your heart pumping. It has some ab work, tricep work and back bends. It's a faster pace, so it might be beneficial to watch it first before trying it out. Make sure your body is warmed up before going into it, and always move in a pain-free range. Hope you enjoy!

Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright

A pic from a couple weeks ago when I played with some baby tigers in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It made me think back to fourth grade when we had to memorize the following poem by William Blake: 

Tiger Tiger, Burning bright

In the forests of the night

What immortal hand or eye

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies 

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare he aspire, 

What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art 

Could twist the sinnews of thy heart?

And when thy heart began to beat

What dread hand, what dread feet?

What the hammer, what the chain

In what furnace was thy brain?

What the anvil, what dread grasp

Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

And when the stars threw down their spears

And watered heaven with their tears,

Did he smile his work to see?

Did he who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, Tiger burning bright,

In the forests of the night

What immortal hand or eye

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

 (Wow, can't believe I just typed it from memory!)
