I <3 YOGA! 20 things I've learned from my YOGA practice...

I know 20 things is a bit much for the SEO rules. Oh! You don’t know what SEO is? Search engine optimization. Blogging experts suggest writing about 7 to 10 items. Odd numbers are better. Perhaps I will stop at 19? Would that please the SEO gods? Do I really need to please them?

My mat, water bottle and yoga bag (a Christmas gift from my son Peter’s thoughtful girlfriend, Breezy) create a poignant still life in the back of my Mini. Add recycled bags for Trader Joe’s and life is good.

Yes.. life is good. And yoga makes it that much better!

Here are some of the things that I have gleaned from my yoga practice:

My Garden/Myself

The rotting trellis groaning under the weight of the wisteria. Bricks buckling and relinquishing control to healthy roots tapping deeply into dark recesses of nourishing loam. Flowers willy nilly competing for sun, space and attention. Prolific roses growing out of control, energy unharnessed.

My garden is a perfect reflection of the imperfect me.
