Being Flexible Down South
We had a lot of fun with "If Yoga Were Southern" this week at Pisgah Yoga! We'll do this practice at Cedar Grove Yoga on Monday, November 5, 5:00-6:00. (These ideas were posted on Facebook by"It's a Southern Thing.")
We started off with Alabama's "Song of the South" to set the mood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHdXQAQHjd8&list=LLiaze_-7Mlz6aBSFU0Vg4sw
Your ideas of living down south depend on who you are and your life experiences . . . we celebrate the the "good things"~
"Hey, Y'all" Yoga Pose
"It's me, it's me, it's Ernest T!"
"Bowl of Grits"
"Nascar Crash"
"Bless Your Heart"
We think there should also be a yoga pose for "sweet tea," "front porch," and "sand in your toes" . . .
what else are we missing?!
We shared a southern noodlehead story and a musical rendition of "Grandma's Featherbed" too!
There are parts of our way of life that need a little work (always) but "Namastay in the South, Y'all?!" It is home~Y'all come!!

Have a SPOOKtacular Halloween!
We enjoyed some SPOOKY Fun today at yoga!
Can you make your face look like a jack-o-lantern?
Put on your witch's hat and . . .
fly on your broom!
Watch out for spiders . . .
You may get caught in their webs!
Bats can fly or
or hang upside down?!
Have a Safe and

Room on the Broom
We moved to Julia Donaldson's Room on the Broom yesterday at yoga!
Here is the witch's hat!
Here she is flying on the broom:
When she lost her hat, a dog helped her find it!
There was room on the broom for him.
When she lost her hair bow, a bird helped her find it!
And there was room on the broom for her too!
When she lost her wand, a frog helped her find it.
And they made room on the broom for the frog!
When the broom broke during a storm, everyone on the broom tumbled to the ground. A dragon wanted to eat the witch! We tried breathing like a dragon . . .
The cat, dog, bird and frog worked together to scare the dragon and save the witch!
"Buzz off!--THAT'S MY WITCH!"
With a flower, pinecone, twig, bone and a little magic, they create a truly magnificent broom!!

Namaste, Yogi Friends!

Cock-a-doot-doodle-doo!
We raised over $200 for Palmetto Health Baptist's 28th Annual Walk for Life!!
We explored four yoga chick boks! boks! boks! during our Saturday fundraising practice.
Chicken Little has a BIG reaction to a small event . . . how often do we OVERDO? Now flip that thought, and maybe if we do a little bit and little bit, we'll make a BIG difference?! All the contributions to our fundraiser added up!!
Interrupting Chicken cannot stop flapping her beak . . . when you are a good listener, your mouth is resting, and your body is calm. Good listeners turn on their ears, brain, eyes and heart! Thank you for listening to the needs of others and responding with love to our fundraiser for Palmetto Health Baptist's Walk for Life.
When your focus is scrambled and you're filled with doubt, channel the warrior inside of you!! We practiced Warrior 1, 2, and 3 and Peaceful Warrior too. Your GRIT is IN your circle of control. It's the one measure that truly is an indicator of success.
Whatever you think about, your bring about. Manage your fear, repeat a positive mantra, and stand in your power. Your life CAN and WILL make a difference. It ALREADY HAS!
