Try out this active yoga sequence. “Asana,” is a word that means “yoga postures,” or “comfortable seat.” Some benefits of yoga are feeling more youthful, increase vitality and energy, cope better with stress, decrease muscles tightness, improve posture, and more!
I was inspired today! I love when that happens, because it gives me energy. It moves me from a stuck feeling, to one of possibility and growth! It is a shift in my mindset!
So, before I forget…here is what I learned:
Ayurveda, an ancient science of healing, teaches about this:
Rasayana - an early Ayurvedic term meaning to lengthen lifespan.
Here are some things we can do for better health and immunity:
-Get up early, before the sunrise (We have all heard things like, “The early bird catches the worm.” and “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”) Modern science also supports this idea.
-Drink hot water in the morning and evening. Some reasons are it can replenish fluids, improve digestion, relieve congestion, and make you feel more relaxed.
-Eat clean. Remove toxins out of your diet.
-Exercise - walk, run, dance, practice yoga poses, etc.
-Enjoy yourself!
Before Corona Virus, maybe you worked full time, burning the candle at two ends. Now you can use your time for SELF CARE! Ayurveda offers some simple, yet profound daily practices to enhance your health.
I have been focusing on a cleaner food program…(and a cleaner yard, a cleaner house, etc!) I have been working on myself - supporting myself! What inspires you!
Below is a book I use a lot for Ayurvedic recipes. Not sure what Ayurveda is? I would be happy to share with you.
I hope to inspire you! “Inspiration” is “the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative!” Be aware of your own possibilities for Self-Health. Do One Thing!

The Lotus is a symbol of purity, beauty, majesty, grace, fertility, wealth, richness, knowledge and serenity. Nice to hear, but maybe must do a step at time.
It also has physical and mental benefits, such as helping with sciatica, keeping spine straight, helping with tight ankles, and helping to calm the mind. Although not always easy, there are poses one can do to move toward the actions of padmasana. The sequence below focuses on creating mobility in the hip joints and lengthening the spine. After all, majesty, grace, knowledge take time to grow. Enjoy the process with this sequence:
