barton springs yoga weather is back!

seasonal yoga incorporates a practice that is ever-evolving and ever-referencing the seasonal shifts.

light, color, and air are major indicators for how we should be living and eating on a day to-day.

winter yoga asks us to grow our roots, be tranquil, rest, nurture, read, hibernate, work on the hearth-n-home.

now spring weather is on hand…and we get to play! get the sap going, joints moving, winter snow melting!

this little sequence is part of a ten year goal…of which i have not attained…yet continue to aim for…

cuz -”a goal is not always meant to be reached”- says bruce lee


get it up!

while the getting is good

spring winds and sunny days

breathe inspiration into us

if we move out of the way

get up wake up get the day  dawning

sleep in during the spring

your best bet to staying behind

rising and shining

with first light’s rays

brings in the irie vibrations!

time to take the leap

tadpole to frog

make the metamophisis

“the caterpillar can not comprehend the butterfly”

step into the void

drop the story

the new you is waiting

time to

be


sounds of spring

with the arrival of spring

we begin to see a bit more light

a bit more a heat

a bit more of quite a bit

we also hear the sounds of spring so clearly

birds calling and singing

bees wings buzzing

dancing in and out of spring blossom’s delight

but with us, it sounds a bit more

like the video above.

spring sound is screaming

for spring is connected to liver

liver connected to anger

anger to screaming

so be sure not to scream

to loud at yourself.

compassion

kindness

gratitude

spring cleaning

joyfully includes gardening

for those of us who like to get a little dirty

we can garden like a dork

we can garden with intention

based on a comment in this morning’s class

meant to inspire a new way of weeding

the art of peace

morihei ueshiba

 

the are of peace begins with you.

work on your self

and your appointed task in the art of peace.

everyone has a spirit

that can be refined,

a body that can be

trained in some manner,

a suitable path to follow.

you are here for no other purpose

than to realize your inner divinity

and manifest your inner enlightenment.

foster peace in your own life

and then apply the art

to all that you encounter.

 

–morihei ueshiba

founder of aikido

 

 


spring has sprung!

Picture 416

 

spring has sprung

and the time to clean

has begun!

according to some

this is the time

to give away

1 out of 10

of every-thin’.

1 of 10 shirts.

1 of 10 pants.

1 of 10 pots & pans

1 of  10 knick-knacks

or  1 of 10 chachkies.

most importantly…

1 of 10 dramatic friends!

(what!!)

yes.

2 of 10

or

6 of 10

would be better

but

1 of 10 will do.

 

time to open up the windows

let the spring air in.

let the sun shine in

on the dark crevices

of our heart.

burn a little sweetgrass

sweep up the floors

remove the cobwebs

gathered over doors

melt the winter snow

let the mojo rise

and

let the inspiration

bring new

projects, friends, life adventures

and more!

 

lemon water and bitter greens.

neti pot and coco-oilation.

liver cleansing and gallbladder flushing

all a part of our springtime duties.

open up the windows to your heart

open to the inner light within

to be healthy once again

and lets light the world together

in which we are living in!
