change



"There is nothing permanent except change."
-Heraclitus

To embrace change, to take on a real newness, a big wide optimistic new beginning
here's a little tip i once read.....an advice columnist, responding to a heart broken lover. Whether that is you, or not, lets see tonite as the last of its kind, an end of sorts, and tomorrow a new. The First day of a new month, a new beginning, a clean slate as it were.....
and nothing better than to.....THROW AWAY ALLL YOUR UNDIES!!!!
yep, you heard it
you know the ones, the ratty, ripped, grannies, the ones you wear even if you don't really like them, the ones that seem to always be at the bottom of the drawer just as a reminder its laundry time. . . . .throw 'em, toss 'em and start NEW
and while your at it, do the same with your bed sheets, your pillow cases, tosssssssssssssssssssssssssss them and treat yourself!!!!
new intimates, fresh sheets
nothing says new beginnings better!
liberate, celebrate, jump up and down on the bed(in your glorious new undies)on your brand new linens!!!!
oh, and do it alll to this song!!
(THEM ROCKS!)

MISFIT: Rock your practice

MY MUSIC CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MISFIT: Rock your practice

Rock your practice


Rock&Roll your Yoga
For a real change of pace, play your favorite music, loud and hard
Whatever your poison, choose music to kick your asana practice to a new level
A vigorous, challenging, heart-racing yoga practice with lots of vinyasas, lots of surya namaskar bs in a row, lots of balancing and twisting and shifting from pose to pose. Glide from Parsva Bakasana (Side Crane Pose) into Camatkarasana (Wild Thing),
Natarajasana (Lord of the Dance Pose) and work your way up to
Pincha Mayurasana (Feathered Peacock Pose)
Really GO FOR IT.
Pick up the pace, transition quickly, but stay focused
notice what changes for you, watch your breath, watch your heart, and let your endorphins rushhhhhhhhhh
Rock your practice everyone, Im about to!!!

Girlfriends


The silence after a funeral....time to reflect, time to heal, alone with my thoughts.
And this is what im thinking, I am grateful, for my support system, my amazing, inspiring, beautiful, thoughtful girlfriends!
I wouldn't be at this place in my life without them, without their support and love, and MISFITSTUDIO wouldn't have manifested as it did so naturally.
As i watched and listened to the speeches and memories at the funeral, i thought, how amazing to have a long lasting friendship, 60, 70 years strong.
With all of lifes ups and downs, excitements and disappointments, with celebration and sorrow, the one consistent unifying bond is friendship.
So here's to you, you all know who you are, a true moment of pause for thanks!!!!!!!!

Luna



to the moon and back.....
when practicing your yoga today, HALFMOON is a good pose to incorporate, an offering to the mid point of full and new(or empty)
there are theories in the yoga world that believe practicing during a full moon may lead to injury as we may be less careful and less mindful......so go slow, take care and work your way up to half moon and revolved half moon! and if you take my classes, you know how they always manage to sneak up during practice!
happy full moon, ahhhhoooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Rainy saturday......
what a perfect time to stretch your body out
in the quiet greyness take some time out of your day just for YOU!
get on the floor, a mat or carpet will do, and stretch your body, take long slow breaths, quiet your mind and feel your body release tension. Naturally, as you stretch and slow your breath, endorphins kick into your blood to give you a natural high!!!
go with it, enjoy it, and then take a bath, curl up and watch an old movie!
enjoy!!!
