<p>Can I ask I’m</p><p>New to yoga and just signed up for app. I’ve completed a week but I’m struggling with downward dog as I have shoulder abs hip replacements can anyone suggest a different pose and a beginners video to help me practice this move </p>

Jumped ahead, looking for this weekend’s LOVE practice that i needed most this morning. This was amazing—lots of light and joy and openness. And because adriene asked, here is one of my favorite love passages: “Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you’ve got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.” Maya Angelou ❤️❤️❤️

<p>Happy Valentine's Day! Love love love. My favourite love song is The Special Two by Missy Higgins. When I discovered she had written it for her sister, I loved it even more. Let love rule 🫶</p>

<p>Anyone else break down at the end when we whispered "I love you"?? ♥️♥️</p>

<p>Just had to get back, honky cat, to this Dedicate Love practice. Covid bug was bringing me down and this little ditty diddy the trick. 🙂  'The first act of love is always the giving of attention.' -Dallas Willard</p>

<p>Spoiler alert!</p><p></p><p>Tough one! Although I just finished an Orangetheory class so my legs were already tired to start. Start in downward dog, flow with high lunge holds, warrior 2 holds, triangle pose holds, lunge twists. Then lizard variation combined with cat cow flow. Toe stand ball hold for awhile. Then end in mountain pose. 🧘🏻‍♀️ 🪷 🙏 everything on your hands and feet, nothing low to the ground today. </p>

<p>“In the garden of memory, in the palace of dreams, that is where you and I shall meet” Mad Hatter. My favorite since my dad died 2 years ago. I had seen him in a dream a few months after. I love you dad.</p>

<p>I love seeing practices from past 30 day journeys! Thank you🌺</p>

<p>I am loving that these practices from prior 30-day journeys are being incorporated into the monthly calendar! They are all so good!! 💫👍🏼</p>

<p>To lead from my heart. Welcoming. Curious. Without (or free from) any judgment. Strong. Stable. Yet Flexible. Graceful. Grateful. Open mind. Open heart. Centered. Present. Aware. Content. With clarity of intentions. The answers to what I am here for….(what can I do…where do I start…how do I get there….) lie within. I captured: “my breath grounds me in the present.” Thank you for that Adriene. That connected with my heart. That’s what I have been focusing of late. As I have been softening more into the process. And as I have observed and witnessed — I experienced that to completely surrender and trust when we have no agency over major health concerns. Trust. Lean in. Allow. Release. Let go. Stay. Be resilient. Don’t hold back. No pushing. Don’t look away. Don’t wish things to be different. Be there. Open up. Release my hold. Let go. Give my hand. Take someone’s uplifting lead. We are still in that journey, but it feels so good as the healing and recovery process has deeper meaning what matters most are the connections we keep and nourish in life. Those are nicely takeaways. Where I spend my time on. Whoa! I explored my lower three chakras as the world is pivoting towards something that is not In alignment with my core values, beliefs and vision. I have to coexist safely and more gracefully. How to do it? I’m glad that I was already well into the path of self care, love and peace. It really works. Hatha Yoga is Life. Easing into existing with ease and having the presence to be there for all too. I love you back Adriene. As I learned from Rey and from all the teachers there and thru glimpses of my fellow yogis’ personal shares here (in their comments), we have something divine here! </p><p>I was intending to gather my true self to the center as who I truly am today is what will move me through my journey, life has many of those journeys, we humans are conditioned to move — but I feel more confident if I do lead from my heart safely and see all the possibilities in everything free from any constraints. To break free from anything depleting my sense of self. And your parting remarks here, that’s it. That’s why I practice. To safely, with integrity, efficiency and be authentically me…as I lead from my heart. Strong, stable, yet relaxed, soft, grateful, humble and graceful. The journey continuous. Refining myself, rewiring my mind to be more spacious open and willing to be led by my heart. Connecting the dots within my internal ecosystem —- my human intelligence, the basic tenets of who I essentially am and being that best possible version of myself, that is basically it! —- amidst the pivot towards outsourcing internal intelligence and communications 💚💚💚, I am focusing on being more humane than ever before. Thanks for being such good and efficient partners in my quest in my (our) journey of unblinking self study and self discovery —- in a way that is supportive, mindful, sustainable, meaningful, sprinkled with so much grace, kind and loving environments to bring forth my absolute freedom of innermost self exploration, expression, choice, creativity to pave the way to get there…home. The journey is the ultimate reward. Enjoy the scenic views! 💙 Slowing down to connect within oneself…is the ultimate way for me to be able to live life fully connected while leading from my heart. The journey continues with so much respect, reverence, appreciation, love and gratitude for what we have here. A safe space to explore the limitless possibilities of humanity’s existence and the depth of which we can explore and behold then sustain and grow from well within. And out into the world. I can dream! 💜 A lifelong learning and anchoring on love. Hope in action. Leading from the heart, it’s possible! I am grateful as always for my practice on this beautiful dawning of a new day —- Happy, Healthy, Blessed Thanksgiving Day! It feels like that every single day! May everyone be suffused with the same energy, love and joy. Peace. Light. Love. 💚💚💚💚 11/27/25</p>
