Flexibility = Youth. Remember, we all started out with the ability to suck our toes, watch any infant! But a lifetime of sitting, driving, running, sports, etc etc etc, tightens the noose around our physical youthfulness. Of course, Yoga is so much more than flexibility, but it certainly addresses this very important aspect of our physical (and mental) well-being extremely well. L

I was Hiking in high paramo, a unique ecosystem, 11,000 feet above sea level when I spotted an animal. At first I thought it might be a Dog, but it was far from any town or human habitants. What I learned later from a national Park guide that it was a “lobo” … or wolf. However, there are no wolves in South America and it was most likely a fox, but not the kind of fox we are used to in North America. It had very long legs and alert, pointy ears and a big fluffy red tail.. we just stopped there and looked at one another for at least 10 seconds, just enough time for me to be in complete and utter awe. It’s my birthday, a powerful New, Moon in Aries, and this was an awesome present. I claim this spirit animal 🦊🐺Fox energy 🦊: awareness, subtlety, moving unseen → you’re in a phase of quiet intelligence and precise timing; things don’t need force to unfold
• Wolf energy 🐺: instinct, independence, inner guidance → trust your path completely; you’re meant to move forward self-directed, not influenced by others

Sirsanana is the “king” of postures according to Iyengar. It’s highly effective to get upside down, regularly. It’s like shaking up the “snow globe”. It defies gravity and keeps all body systems fresh, spacious and spongy. My intention is to keep practicing it till the day I pass on. I hold mine for a few minutes for optimum benefits.
