Today we had a snow day in New York so I got to wake up and start my day with the lovely Adriene. I really do love waking up early and doing my yoga before going to work, but lately I can't seem to get in bed early enough to not wake up late and be in a complete rush in the morning! Today was definitely a healthy balance of work and yoga. Everyday should be like that.

Day 12 and lucky day 13 were all about realigning the spine and building endurance. We sat in stick pose for a second so of course my brain went right to my new stick decor! Sounds weird.. but it looks great! I've got branches on the brain! I love when my yoga practice can relate back to my art and design work. Keeps me inspired.

Join Adriene on Day 12 of The 30 Days of Yoga journey! Yoga For Spinal Health. This Day 12 practice promotes a happy and healthy support system. Seek balance as you stabilize the core musculature of the spine. Find a sense of ease as you strengthen the buttocks & legs and find support from within - that lasts.

Join Adriene on Day 13 of The 30 Days of Yoga journey! Endurance and Ease! Find the mustard for your (yoga) pretzel in this fun full body sequence. Lucky Day 13 invites you to fly like an eagle aiming for full breaths and eventual exquisite ease.

And by crow I mean my crow pose in yoga and not my original raven painting. Trying to be a little witty here combining my yoga practice with my painting practice. And yes that's my Treasure Troll top knot and belly button. Anyways, I am SO excited because, like I said, I found my crow again and I held it for a whole 10 seconds! It's the small victories on this feel good inside and out new years resolution challenge. Tonight I completed days 5 and 6 of the 30 days of yoga and I feel great! I will of course leave the videos for you to follow along as well. But first! I want to share my very special surprise from today... it felt a little like Christmas..

My dear friend Kat finished my wall tapestry! This is her first woven tapestry and I absolutely love it. I have big plans for this guy. One of which is that he will hang from a branch from my home town on the wall next to my bed. When he is finally complete I will of course show him off! For now he's just hanging out on some antlers. So excited!!

I hope you are getting inspired either through these little yoga videos or through learning about new and beautiful ways to make your home feel cozy! Part of feeling good in the mind and body is feeling good in your space! Maybe that will be my mantra. Keep my mind, body and space clean and feeling good.

With that being said, I'm going to light some sage and cook a little dinner!

Namaste. (prayer hands emoji)
