Rev It Up, Yogi Style

Don't be misled - yoga asanas offer more than just fancy calesthenics. They offer the opportunity to open mentally and spiritually as well. In a notepad sort of format, here are a few suggestions for an abbreviated home routine. Practice these asanas regularly and find how they lubricate your cylinders, giving you top performance physically, mentally, and emotionally. See how many ways yoga makes your motor purrrrr!
  • Warrior I - bring intention into action
  • Warrior II - seek inspiration
  • Warrior III - balance your will with effort
  • Boat - strong body, strong mind
  • Shoulder stand - flexible body, flexible mind. Inversions often bring up fear as folks take a view of the world being "upside down". Once this psychological limitation is overcome, you are said to be capable of handling any topsy-turvy situation.
  • Tree - stay true to your roots & reach for your highest good
  • Crow - trust in yourself & lighten up by learning how to fly
  • Monkey - reach far, and enjoy the curious journey that brings you to your goals!
  • Eye exercises - relaxed and happy eyes promote a relaxed and happy perception
  • Neck rolls - a neck at ease puts the mind at ease
To be continued . . .
