Dancing Warrior Hip Opening Sequence

Hi everyone!  I created this sequence via the help of yogajournal.com.  Being that my computer is being a bit stubborn with videos, please enjoy these picture illustrated sequences in the mean time.  


You will see the pictures of the poses, even print out the sequence and put it in front of your mat.  Put on your favorite music (yogic or non yogic).  And flow away.  If you need any instruction on the pose than feel free to use the yogajournal.com website for a description or email me with a question. 


This sequence starts in mountain pose.  First set an intention for you practice.  Please do all standing poses on the right side and then on the left side before continuing to plank, locust, and cobra.  Once you do all the standing poses slowly, then increase the speed and allow the poses to flow one into the next.  You can do this several times for a nice dancing warrior flow.  Then follow up with the backbends, forward bends, savasana.  Finishing by coming to an easy pose and bring the hands to the heart (anjali mudra) to seal in your practice!  


Namaste friends!

Food for thought! How is your life’s appetite?

Food for thought exercise (literally and figuratively): How is your life's appetite and what are you hungry for?  I started thinking of this post as I was physically hungry for food, but it inspired the question about my appetite for other aspects in life which then led me to asking myself what am I hungry for.  The physical sensation of digestive hunger is easy to take care... if you are hungry, eat. If you are satisfied, stay as you are.  If you are stuffed, then don't eat more. We can take digestive appetite with traditional food and relate that into life's cravings... In terms of life's appetite ask yourself, "am I starving, satisfied, or stuffed?" When asking think of different aspects of your life like career, love/relationship, adventure, etc.  Perhaps you are bored with your career and  starving  for something new to bite into.  Or perhaps you are happy right where you are in your career and there is no need to change anything.  Or co

The Cowgirl Yoga Experience: Yeehaw and YeehAUM!

The Cowgirl Yoga Experience: Yeehaw and YeeAUM! www.bigskyyogaretreats.com                                              Ahhh to go on a yoga retreat. So exciting but so many choices! When it comes to finding a yoga retreat the choices are endless, from different locales, to spa retreats, to intense trainings, to weekend getaways, to long excursions. My mom and I have been saying for years we wanted to take a yoga retreat together, but timing and coordination were everything.  Not only did I have to find a chunk of time to take off work, but both of us wanted to align with the intention of the retreat.  We were also coming from different yoga experiences…there is myself who has been teaching yoga fourteen years, in my mid 30’s and extremely active, and my mom who enjoys gentle yoga, has a few injuries, and in her upper 60’s. We spent at least a month or two trying to find a retreat at the end of June to celebrate both of our birthdays, however nothing was aligning
