Deck Yoga

Today I decided to tackle cleaning up my deck. This may not sound like a big task to most people, but if you’d seen how out of hand the plants, vines, etc on and around my deck got the past year you’d understand the ‘task’.

Now there is room to do yoga on my deck! How cool is that?!?! J Anyone want to join me?

Why is it that my deck became so overgrown with nature, and overwhelmed with clutter? This past year became that way in my life … inside and out. I will begin to share this journey with you of perspective and transformation and how it relates to health. How can this new perspective open up your world about health and what’s happening in your personal environments? Where’s the reflection? How do you feel when it’s cleaned up? J

One practice of yoga is alignment, both spiritual and bodily. So, deck yoga is a wonderful place for me to be in my life. Outside in the fresh air and nature, my own property/space, I can begin a new practice of freestyle moving meditation and alignment such as yoga.

The out of doors can represent in many interesting ways the ‘outside’ of our life, that which is just beyond our body. This is why many people find their spiritual place in nature. And why there are varying preferences to what they prefer in nature, yards, woods, surroundings.

Fantasize about the areas in nature that you prefer and why that may be. They are all wondrous and gift filled experiences. What part of nature to you becomes a ‘religion’, and what part is free and spiritual? How wonderful that we can experience and enjoy the beauty of both. Now I invite you to cross that over into your own life.

In every aspect of your life, and health where and how can you find enjoyment in the religion and spirituality of each, and how do you see them supporting each other for peace and harmony?

How does this coincide with food? Simple food & A Sane Life. Every aspect of our lives parallels each other, and that includes our health. Our food in life stretches way beyond what we eat.

Where are you religious about what you eat? And where are you spiritually free? Both are wonderful places to gain nourishment. Cleaning out the judgment from society and the outside world that entangles us in what should be in a space, or on our plate, leaves room for what we want to create there. I invite you to clean off your societal impression of what should be on your dinner and life plate, and create with the empty space with what nourishes you. Leave room for dessert!
