Hugs not Dukes!

Proceedings of this morning afforded me 60 minutes of time in the office before my official start time.  Rather than bog myself down with work before work, I took the time for a yoga practice.  I didn't have blocks, a strap, or even a yoga mat, yet I was able to do what I needed to do and modify without getting 'bent out of shape' - haha - pun intended :)  Any space can be a yoga space and because I didn't want to put my face down on the communal floor, I made some variations to the prone poses.  As well, my knees are still very sensitive and sore from a hard fall a couple weeks ago, so I stood for standing versions of hip flexor stretching - yum. 

Highlights today:

• Any space can be a yoga space
• Mortar and pestle pose!
• Exhale longer than inhale
• Inversion for restoration
• Conversation between breath and movement
• Hugs not dukes - check out the link to Day 25: Yoga for Tranquility and Mindfulness for more on that :)
• Invite the breath
• Giving attention is an act of love
• Pause and center
• Marriage of breath and movement
• Not all poses must be aggressive 
• patience
• alignment
• knees soft, heels grounded
• "Lets go ahead and hug." (the knees, or the person next to you, whichever you prefer!)
