Flip your Dog...with a Twist!

I don’t flip my down dog into a “perfect” wild thing, but for me yoga is not about perfection, it’s about the practice and the journey… about moving my body in fun (and beneficial!) ways that will keep inspiring me to come to the mat to explore! Have fun with this one… add on moves subtract ones or just linger in a shape and do what feels right to you :) Do your form of down dog, wild thing and twisting. Practice in a way that inspires you to explore more. And do it with a smile on your face and love in your heart.
Tree Pose...with knee against the wall!

Tree Pose...with knee against the wall!

Here's a short video on how I sometimes enter into tree pose using the wall as support...but not with my hand against the wall, instead placing my bent knee against it! Give it a go and see if this method activates more engagement of the inner thighs so your tree is strong from your feet to the crown of your head...and then grow your branches :) Have fun with it and let me know how it goes!
Be Strong In Your Forward Fold

Be Strong In Your Forward Fold

If you feel a bit unstable in your folder forward and rising up to mountain pose, here are a few cues and tricks I like to use to bring more stability to my practice. A yoga block or small firm pillow would helpful as props. Hopefully something presented will work for you too! Have fun in your practice and be strong in your mountain and forward folds!

My (short!) Morning Routine

This video shows the short morning routing I do just after I get up to get my lymphatic system going...and to get me going too! Hopefully there's something for you to incorporate into your morning, or to inspire you to create your own routine!

A short chair yoga practice

In honor of my 93-year-old aunt who still likes to keep active, here's a short chair practice with mini cardio! Maybe today you don't feel like practicing a full routine on the floor, or you're working and need some movement by your desk, just sit in a stable chair...with no wheels LOL...and give yourself some space to move. Find your strong base engaging your feet and your core strength and have some fun with this light practice!

I unfortunately can't find the IG person who introduced me to the back and shoulder movement stretches, but will update the info if I do! Sending thanks out to the Universe for that movement inspiration! :) Please join me for regular classes and more info by visiting SwayingTreeYoga.com
How to make a (Frugalista's!) Diaphragm Pillow

How to make a (Frugalista's!) Diaphragm Pillow

I'm a self-proclaimed frugalista and don't like overpaying for my yoga props. Admittedly I'm also not a craft person, so simple is better for me. This is a video of the way I created my version of a diaphragm pillow to use for my home practice. If you'd like to give it a try here are the 3 things I used: 5lb bag of rice (cheapest one available, of course!) Standard pillow cover (with zipper closure) 2 pieces of cotton twine (each approx 18" long) Let me know in the comments what you think, or other options you used!
