Karin Winter Yoga

Karin Winter Yoga I have been practicing yoga since 2014. I completed my 200 hour Teacher training in May of 2017. Thank you so much for your continued support. Namaste,

Karin

I studied Integrated Vinyasa™ through The Colorado School of Yoga, an incredible school that I cannot speak highly enough of. I had the honor of studying under Tracey Garcia of Colorado Springs, CO and Gina Caputo of Boulder, CO. Some of our guest teachers were the incredible Kathryn Budig of Aim True and Shiva Rea, an innovator in the evolution of Vinyasa Yoga. “Vinyasa” means to place intentiona

lly and I believe a commitment to intentionality in both my teaching and living my life will lead to a life lived to the highest degree, on and off the mat. When you join me in class you will experience that all aspects of our practice and asanas are well-thought-out and are there for a reason! I have been a loyal student of David Corder of Peyton, CO and Perfect Fit Wellness Center and joined him on several yoga retreats to Blue Osa in Costa Rica.

Yesterday I added a few prayer flags to the garden because, you know, because!
I needed more fabrics in the garden!

Here I am standing in a field of lettuce and spinach. The lettuce and the spinach come back every year, I don’t seed it, they selfseed.

On the right you can see the out of control raspberries and in the lower right strawberries!

Jacob’s Ladder on the bottom left and I am standing amidst a blanket of Purple Lamium, I can’t wait for it to emerge purple.

Life is good friends! I hope you had time to enjoy the sunshine today! xoxoxoxo

It’s a beautiful morning! I just made my morning rounds and found these gorgeous mushrooms growing right by the rock garden! I know I’m doing something right because whenever you see mushrooms you know you have good soil!

If you feel so inclined check out my stories for today! I captured lots of beauty! I hope you have a fabulous day. 💚

We live in zone 4 gardening, it’s hard to get plants to grow big, flower and make it through winters at 8000 feet. This Valerian is my prized plant in my rock garden. It is so beautiful, tall, lush and grows and blooms all summer. It gets to about 5 feet in height and dies back down to the ground. It attracts tons of bees and butterflies. In fact I plant my Dill nearby and have “a million” caterpillars each summer! If you live in a harsh climate I definitely recommend Valerian!

Valeriana is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caprifoliaceae, members of which may by commonly known as valerians. It contains many species, including the garden valerian, Valeriana officinalis. Some species are native to Europe, others to North America and South America (especially in the Andes).

Valerian makes a great garden plant. It seems to help nearby plants by stimulating phosphorus and earthworm activity. A decoction made from the roots and sprayed on the ground will attract earthworms. The mineral-filled leaves can be added to your compost, too.

Most of us have heard the tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, Germany who played his flute and led the rats out of town forever. Many feel the Pied Piper must have been familiar with valerian and put it in his pockets or rubbed himself with it. Rats love the smell, and it may have been the valerian, not the music, that enticed the rats to follow him!

In Germany, valerian is used in more than 100 over-the-counter tranquilizers and is the number one nonprescription sedative in Europe.

When most people think of valerian, the first thing they often think of is sleep – for falling asleep, a good night’s sleep, and for waking without the usual grogginess of other sleep aids. It is one of the best gentlest ways to find sleep when used properly.

I walked into my greenhouse very excited to see my first Calendula flower bud. I made a mental note to come back tomorrow and see the progression. Well I walked in two hours later to see the full Calendula bloom. 🧡 I don’t have one favorite flower, that would be silly, but I think I can make a top ten of favorite flowers. Calendulas would definitely be in it! 💛

This is my beautiful yellow Primrose. It blooms early in the mornings when it’s still cool in the rock garden. It’s a beautiful addition to any Colorado rock garden!

Oenothera macrocarpa, the bigfruit evening primrose, Ozark sundrop or Missouri evening primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the evening primrose family Onagraceae, native to Mexico and the south-central United States, where it is found in calcareous prairies and limestone outcrops.

This is a perennial herb that produces a red stem 6-12 in. (15-30 cm) in height. The large (3 inch) wide flowers are cup shaped, canary yellow and have a mild fragrance. They are produced in great numbers from early to mid summer. Leaves are dark green and lanceolate, and bunched along the trailing stem. The seed pods are 4-winged and 2 to 3 inch long.

The seed pods are often used in flower arrangements. This plant is also grown in gardens for its flowers. It is suitable as a groundcover in poor, stony soil which does not become waterlogged in winter, in full sun. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
