This is the Spring cleaning we can get on board with! How much clutter are you continuing to accumulate in your mind?
Taking on others stress?
Keeping worry close?
Constantly competing against yourself?
Frustrated because we aren't 20 anymore?
Letting negative people in or social media trolls?

Clean out the clutter. It seems waaayyyy easier to collect clutter rather than letting it go. Start small. Let the sunshine in.

This month, we have been working our way towards Eagle Pose. It is a balance pose consisting of 4 twists. Before you get your feathers in a bunch, know IT IS OKAY if you don't do all 4. Try for 1 or 2 or 2.5 or 3.17. The last 2 weeks, we went top or bottom half eagle. This week it's all eagle.
Why eagle? Most of you are probably thinking, "Thank goodness it's just a normal yoga pose as Robs makes us do weird stuff". I agree with you there. But, here are some benefits to Eagle: works on hip and shoulder mobility, works on flexibility of hips, knees, and ankles, core and spine stability, concentration and focus, leg strength.
It's okay if your eagle falls out of the nest. That little eagle is practicing to fly. You are practicing too.

Woohoo fun recipe time! I try to find fairly easy and nutrient dense recipes so this week, you got 2.
Protein packed Blueberry crisp with lemon
1 large package of blueberries or 2 c frozen
Mix with 1 Tbsp of corn starch or arrowroot and about 1 Tbsp lemon juice (I keep a jar of Santa Cruz lemon juice on hand). Place in bottom of baking dish.
Mix about 1.5 c oats, 2-3 scoops vanilla protein powder, 2 Tbsp syrup, and about 1/4 c milk of choice. Place on top of blueberries.
Bake about 15 minutes at 350. Portion out and add lemon Greek yogurt on top. (Ratio makes a lemon or mix vanilla Greek yogurt with some lemon juice).
Recipe adapted from Healthy Kitchen

Greek bowl
1 cucumber cut and a bunch of Lil tomatoes cut in half. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar, salt n pepper. Place in fridge to set while prepping rest.
1 c grain of choice (I used Farro because I ❤️ Farro and didn't have enough quinoa) and cook as directed.
Protein of choice (tofu or chicken works best) and season with smoked paprika and tamari (or liquid aminos/soy sauce), salt n pepper. Bake or air fry like normal.
Create your bowl with those above and add cut avocado and tzatziki sauce. I'm allergic to dill so I made my own - plain Greek yogurt, diced cucumber (squeeze the water out), strong garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, parsley.
Recipe adapted from Bonnie Roney RD

Both soooo sooooo good. Packed with protein and fiber. Big time nutrient dense goodness! Enjoy!

Happiest of birthdays to one of the Lifted Up Yoga Columbia OGs, Carolyn!!!!! We miss you dearly and secretly hope you don't find a better yoga group down in AL. 🤣😘 Thanks for letting us take a field trip to visit.

With me, science rules. During teacher training, we were taught some rigid, micromanage cues as that's just how it's done. Yoga is about getting to know you. So, don't worry about hitting all those arrows on the picture (some are outdated!). My only thing I'm a super stickler about - knees track with toes. There isn't a pose in yoga where they go in different directions.
If you question a pose "am I doing this right?", then ask! I'd be more than happy to spend some time with you and how the pose adapts to you instead of you adapt to the pose.

Tree hugger PSA
We've had a few days off spring with an 80 degree day coming up. Please, please, please resist the urge to "clean up" your yard and garden. The bees are still sleeping (30% of native bees hibernate in your dead plant material). Wait until late April if possible. If you must "clean up" your yard, make a pile of the debris so the bees can find their way out. Remember, if we get rid of our native insects, the bad ones can take over. If your yard is like mine, I've got plenty of weeds to pull to keep me busy until bee time.
Save the bees! Go hug a tree.

Another recipe try - Crisy Rice Salad

Crispy rice:
3 c cooked rice mixed with 1-2 Tbsp chili sauce, 1-2 Tbsp soy sauce, and 2 Tbsp sesame oil. Spread on cookie sheet (use parchment if needed) and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes

Chicken:
Thin sliced chicken and dunk in bowl with 1 egg and sq**rt of Sriracha, then coat in bowl with 3/4 breadcrumbs (or use.cornflakes) with whatever amount of seasoning - I used salt n pepper, garlic, paprika, and chili powder. Air fry pr bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes

Salad:
Sliced cucumber, edamame, avocado, and I added peas as I just love peas. Mix with onion, 1/4 c Greek yogurt, Sriracha, 2 Tbsp sweet chili sauce, 2 tsp rice wine vinegar.

This one does have several steps but wasn't too bad at all to put together. Enjoy!

Phew! We made it to the end of hip flexor month! I hope you have enjoyed getting those legs stronger and found some spicy poses. This week, we focus on my fav hip flexor strengthen exercise, as well as, a super spicy one. Sprinkled in the mix are hip stretches, one of my fav "put it all together" fun balance move, and fire up our brain functions.
Keep moving!

See you kids on Tuesday! No classes Friday 2/20 and Monday 2/23. I will be marching with the dinosaurs down in TX. I'm beyond pumped to see dinosaur tracks during my 20 mile race.
Take care of you while I'm gone, find something fun to do, and I will see you soon on the mat.

This week's focus remains hip flexors but we add in outer hip and hamstring work. Yes, it's a wee bit spicy of a class but I will be nice to you.
If you have a block, pinky ball, and/or thick blanket, PLEASE bring it to class (Harvey's class!). I have some I'm bringing but may not have enough for the size of our class. (The thick blanket is my biggest request to bring.)
Let's get those legs and hips moving and your mind relaxed!

President's Day schedule: No 530p MCSC class. All other classes are a go.

Fun President Fact - Andrew Jackson
President Jackson owned a parrot named Paul. Andrew had a very fiery temper and Paul picked up on his cursing habit. When President Jackson passed away, Paul was allowed to attend his funeral. But, Paul was kicked out of the funeral due to his incessant cursing.

Enjoy your President's Day!
