Lucious pears weigh down the boughs. Each ripening flesh propagates wellness within its delicate skin. The soft hues of yellow expand daily, filled with life giving flavour & each one awaits a gentle touch & a basket with a soft cloth lining 🍐 #gardening #fall #harvest #fullfilled

I’m going to spend some time in my garden, play my guitar & find any & all healthy ways to soothe my soul over the weekend, maybe even knit my swatch a little. I know I sometimes need to find exits out of the rabbit holes, so I can support others, set boundaries, be authentic & still stay human ❤️

While visiting Montreal & spending time in the Metro, I find Malasana once again comes to my rescue when needing to rest & having no available seating. Over the years, yoga has helped me to live in my body with more ease, freeing me to be more versatile in various situations #aging #with #yoga 🧘♀️

I think we all need some hope & inspiration right now. Facing the crisis that is occurring after the attack on Zelensky & NATO in the Oval Office today, the news of Ford winning Ontario & continuous Israeli/Palestinian conflict, this book is my choice for the weekend.

Balasana (Child's Pose) is restful for our nervous system & gives our whole body a stretch. It can assist us daily as we care for our own feet & is helpful for digestion. It can be modified & done in standing position or seated in a chair if knee issues are present. #everyday #yoga #balasana 🧘♀️❤️🧘♀️

There is Love & there is fear. We can transmute fear into courage when we choose to stand up straight, & face it. Then in an act of courageousness, we can choose to Love. Then fear is conquered. ❤️

Uttanasana (Standing Forward Fold) is useful for a diverse number of daily activities. Bending to tie our shoes, pick something up or weed in the garden safely requires a measure of flexibility. Opening hips, stretches calves, hamstrings & spine. #hatha #yoga #flexibility #daily #mobility #mat #love

This is what winter in our area of BC can look like ! It was green & chilly through Jan. But this ❄️ snow is more typical for us. Pretty, but 🥶 #snow #winter #wonderland #canadian #chill

I made these from Silk/Bamboo for super softness. I added clear crystals each weighing the same to supply a little bit of weight. Pattern by Beryl Tsang in Knitty Fall 2005 now on Ravelry ❤️ for free.

Today I shared how various yoga poses can be incorporated into our daily practices to help us in our everyday lives. A suggestion came for me to share a picture of a pose with a practical use. #yoga #malasana #garlandpose

I love socks with no ribbing but a couple stitches at the heel to prevent slipping, & toe shaping that is personalized to avoid abrasions of the little toe. The sparkle in the yarn doesn’t show up well in the picture. So much fun ! #showmeyourknits #stripes #selfstriping yarn by #regia

Some days, require us to rely on more inner strength & balance than other days. Right now, feeling a little tossed about, fearful & anxious, getting connected to my inner resolve & my body helps me find my place in the midst of all that is going on. We are all warriors 💓 #yoga #planted #firmly
