Yoga Alignment for Snow Shoveling
When out shoveling (see photos from tonight here), use these Anusara alignment principles as a mantra to keep yourself doing them: shins in, thighs out, tailbone tucked, upper arm bones integrated into the shoulder socket, shoulder blades hugged to the back of the heart. Oh yes, arm bones integrated, shoulder blades onto the back of the heart.
Afterwards, try a few slow sun salute variations to reintegrate and align. Follow with vipariti karani (legs up the wall), supported supta baddha konasana (supported reclining bound angle pose, and a few hip openers of choice.
A New Landmark on Capitol Hill (Unveiling of the Dragon)
The weather was perfect last Sunday. It had been misting and drizzling all morning. At mid-day, the rain stopped, the temperature went up that which promises spring, and it was almost possible to see things sprouting green all around. This promise of new growth couldn’t have been a better day for the unveiling of the neighborhood dragon.
Thanks to friends and neighbors at the Kagyu Drupgu Chodzong, there is a new landmark in the neighborhood. I was privileged to me among those who were present for the unveiling of this most auspicious dragon for all to see and to enjoy. Whether or not we will be able to recognize any auspiciousness it might bring, it most certainly will be bringing delight not only by its beauty as a work of art, but from the knowledge that our friends and neighbors made the effort to offer such beauty to all of us.
Much gratitude for good neighbors.
