Today I joined others at Kingman Island to help with invasive plant removal. Licensed destruction can be very satisfying. It was a beautiful to be outside.
Here’s a good way to invite in the day (if you have more time, do longer holds for the various standing poses):
Balasana (child’s pose) with hands stretched out.
Adho Mukha Svanasana (downward facing dog)
Dynamic movement between downward facing dog and palakasana (plank pose).
Uttanasana (standing forward fold) to tadasana (mountain) with hands on hips to rise.
Standing sun breath.
Modified sun salute series (tadasana, uttanasana, (A) lunge on both sides with uttansana in between, adho mukha svanasana, palakasana, lower through chatturanga, bhujangasana, adho mukha svanasana; (B) virabhadrasana I on both sides with uttanasana in between, adho mukha svanasana, palakasana, lower through chatturanga, bhujangasana, adho mukha svanasana; (C) parsvokonasana on both sides, adho mukha svanasana, palakasana, lower through chatturanga, bhujangasana, adho mukha svanasana). Add trikonasana and ardha chandrasana if you have time.
Handstand or half handstand.
One more sun salute variation, with eka pada rajakapotasana (pigeon pose) on both sides.
Seated twist and forward bend of your choice.
Seated meditation (five minutes or more).
Have a great day!
It’s rare that I feel the need to check the weather before leading my practice group into savasana, but tonight I did. Knowing how long it would take the last person to get home, I checked again as everyone gathered their things. There was just enough time if we did not tarry.
I was not able to go to the Washington, DC event for Global Mala Day because I am scheduled to do my regular volunteer work. I did, however, include the focus of this call for a unified, intentional offering in my morning meditation and asana practice.
Do join in, remembering to celebrate yourself as part of the community however and whatever your offering. Be mindful of your body and energy as you choose a practice to be sure that the repetition of 108 will serve rather than deplete.
