AIM YOGA -Asana In Me Yoga

AIM YOGA -Asana In Me Yoga My name is Melinda, and I welcome you to my A.I.M Yoga page. A.I.M stands for "Asana in ME". Asana means "yoga pose" in Sanskrit.

We all have different bodies, shapes, sizes, so our yoga asanas will all look differently as well, and that's just great!

I got all dolled up๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป to take myself on a date at the art museum to see an awesome local ukulele player, and at the last minute, it was canceled.๐Ÿ˜ญ Bummer.๐Ÿ˜ It's okay.

I went to the beach to watch sunset on New Year's Eve and day, I always like to see the first and last sunsets of the year. I also got to see two sea Turtles, a pig on the beach, followed by a gorgeous sunset.๐ŸŒ… I was sitting there mesmerized by the beauty๐Ÿฅน and I quickly jumped up and began doing sun salutations to honor the sun.๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟโ˜€๏ธโค๐Ÿ•‰ I thanked the sun for showing up every day, giving me life, energy, warmth, and love.

This was one of my TOP things I've wanted to do while living in Japan, it almost didn't happen, but I persisted on this dream of mine, and it was wonderful.๐Ÿฅฐ Think what you want, but I was honoring the young girl still in me that always loved Hello kitty.๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜ป

Yoga challenge day 7๐Ÿ•‰
Easy pose "sukhasana"
Topic: Gratitude & non-attachment
I chose this pose for non attachment reasons. I have a knee injury, and for months now I haven't been able to do this pose at all.๐Ÿ˜ญ It seems so simple I know, but I couldn't do it, I missed it๐Ÿฅบ and it's reminded and taught me to not have attachments- even to yoga poses.๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
On the last day of this yoga challenge, I decided to go to a small Shinto Inari shrine in the neighborhood.โ›ฉ๐ŸฆŠ There are SO MANY beautiful shrines and torii gatesโ›ฉ in Japan! I wanted my last day to be in a place iconic of Japan. This one certainly isn't the biggest or fanciest (there are places with THOUSANDS of torii gates, shrines, and temples) but fancy isn't the point, they are everywhere here, and ALL of them are special.โ˜บโ›ฉ This one is in a bustling city, on a very busy road with lots of people, houses, stores, buildings, and right by a high traffic๐Ÿš™๐Ÿšš tunnel entrance. You will still see people stopped, paying their respects, and praying.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟโ›ฉ I love how these shrines are all around, it's a chance to stop, breathe, reconnect, give thanks, and be aware of a higher power.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟโค I'm grateful to live here, learn, and be reminded of gratitude and a higher power all around us.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟโ›ฉโค๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ•‰๐Ÿ’–

Yoga challenge day 5!
Wide angle forward fold "Upavistha Konasana"
Topic: womanhood & social equity
In my almost 44 years๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ on this earth, I feel womanhood has changed a lot in society- but there's still so much change and growth needed.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ This pose, just like women will all look different, and can teach you many things.๐Ÿ•‰ I feel this pose is a balance of listening to your body, not going somewhere uncomfortable for you, but owning it- total commitment in the pose, yet also surrendering, relaxing into it, and know you're growing.๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’—time.with.amanda
