Third Backbend
Today was a really nice day. The time I spent at the studio was refreshing and I got some paperwork done. However, sitting in a chair for six hours straight was something I am not use to doing. My body was screaming for some movement. When Kenley our massage therapist arrived I was ready to do a backbend! She was the lucky photographer today. Thank you, Kenley!

Day Two
It felt great to groove to a few of my favorite beats today. It was a hour before the 6:00 o'clock yoga class and I used my time wisely by warming up the shoulders and hips so that I could take my second picture. Thank you, Hannah! She took the picture you see below of the standing backbend. I forgot to thank Theo who took my first backbend picture. Enjoy!

Vision Quest
Vision quest - a rite of passage in some Native American cultures.
I had a vision today about a little journey I would like to embark upon. For those who know me I have had a really unsettling 2011. It completely knocked me off balance. I haven't judged myself for the new waves of habits that have come my way, I have just sat back and observed. Hum, that's interesting when I was doing or eating in a new way that has been foreign to me for many years.
Today started out no differently but I had this vision. It was very powerful and motivating and I decided to go with it and see where it takes me. One thing is for sure I am totally someone who loves new illuminating paths.
I am not sure anyone reads these blogs but it really doesn't matter I have decided to but my vision into action and I wanted to document everything as I go forward.
Here is my vision to do a backbend everyday. Pretty simple for someone who does yoga but even the most discipline yogi/yogini has the flow of life that sometimes calls them away from their practice,especially if you are a householder.
I will try to blog everyday about my experience as this unfolds over the next year but I will most definitely be taking a picture of each heart opening backbend that unfolds for me each day. Below is the first one.
Love is flowing.....
