July 2005 | News:

The beauty and energy of summer ignites so much inspiration within us.   Absorbing all it's gifts to create what we need to enjoy this journey of life.   Hmmm, there are so many ways to create the vision as thought transforms to word then to deed.

The pioneering of each and every one of us, is a right and in the true essence our exploration of our authentic self.  

The Jackson and Victor workshops were truly wonderful and very exciting to see and meet new folks in the practice of Yoga and life.   Thanks to all those who have attended and helped spread the word.   I look forward to seeing all of you again.

Purvottanasana
(photo taken in Teton National Park, Wyoming)

•  Sitting in Dandasana (straight legs and seated sit bones reaching into the earth) place the palms on the floor by the hip, fingers pointing the feet.  

•  On the exhalation slightly bend the knees and lift the torso off the ground (this is all core body strength).  

•  The hands are directly under the shoulders and the arms are straight.  

•  Extendend and reach through the feet suctioning them to the earth.  

•  Using complete inhalations and exhalations stay for   5-10 breaths and exhale back to Dandasana.  

Benefits:   Strengthen the arms especially the wrists and ankles.   Opens the intercoastal muscles (between the ribs), front chest and increases expansion of the shoulders.
