Alrighty, itâs been a banana sandwich week but Iâm finally getting to it!
Challenge entry
I made this modified chakra yoga routine (seems to have been a fairly popular choice) using mostly info in the book âThe Power of Chakrasâ by Clare Smith. (I would include a picture of the book but for some reason I canât upload pictures right now 
) In a chapter of the book she gives ideas and tips and even short routines of 5-6 poses for each of the chakras, but I decided to modify it slightly by just using two poses for each chakra for a whole routine instead of individually split up.
Root: grounding poses that are focused on stability, strengthening your legs and lower back
- Mountain Pose
-Tree Pose
Sacral: opening up the hips and sacrum
- Crescent Moon Pose
- Frog Pose
Solar Plexus: balancing poses, focused on the core and the middle of the back
- Cobra Pose
- Boat Pose
Heart: open the chest, releasing tension in the lower back
- Bridge Pose
- Downward Dog
Throat: neck flexibility, shoulder strength
- Cat/Cow
- Childâs Pose
Third Eye: stabilize the body, connect with intuition
- Puppy Pose
- Locust Pose
Crown: support meditation, relaxation and focus
- Lotus Pose
- Corpse Pose
She gives more examples of poses for each chakra. I just tried to create a simple âflowâ for all seven, but it wasnât always possible to make it flow super smoothly. I also included her descriptions of what each pose what supposed to do in relation to each chakra, so anyone who wants to and is proficient enough in yoga can adjust and adapt with different poses as necessary.
Anywho, this was fun and a welcome break from a crazy week

@BlueAngelite Learning dances that are not a complex as tap dancing I can do. Been practicing and taking dance classes most of my life. So was fun to use that muscle again. As long as the person isnât mirroring me and i get to follow their moves from behind i am good. Cause if it isnât that way. I fucked. My dyslexia makes me get confused

I usually do a walking meditation down the road I live on at least once a week. I love to free flow dance anytime the opportunity is available. I dance around the house almost every day to my youtube music playlist or iheart radio, which could be considered a meditation in itself since it puts me in a different frame of mind than I get from just sitting around.

Well, this was the kick in the bum that I needed to get back into physical things.
I love going for walks and my walks are almost always meditative in nature, but the heat recently hasnât permitted it. And now thereâs so much rain⊠I love rain, but itâs indoor-time weather!
Whatâs important for me, however, is to ensure I actually get the exercises done that the physiotherapist gave me. Theyâre core strengthening exercises that help me with a lot of things from posture to balancing out both sides of my body, and reducing any swelling or pain in my knees if I get any. So thatâs step one! 
Step two is practicing the witches dance! I havenât had much of a chance to do it and itâs going very slowly⊠But weâre getting somewhere! I showed what I remembered to my partner without a guide to follow and I got somewhere within the realm of⊠Something that looks like it. 
Yeah, Iâm not good at that⊠
But they were very supportive. Maybe supportive enough that I can rope them into doing it with me? 
We shall see⊠We shall see⊠
Lastly, as a bonus round, I want to do this: Yoga with Adriene. But I want to get my basic exercises (and some stretches) regular first.

Starborn,
I feel the same way it was really windy last weekend. I ushally go for walk and love leisure activities. Yoga is good way to experience flow which is a state that one can get and the person doesnât care about spectators watching. One is totally engaged and has a voluntary activity that gives them pleasure. This was really honored by the Greeks. I feel so grateful to have free time with myself. Yoga is good way physically mentally and spiritually!
I hope you enjoy yoga with Adriene. I have her app and is really helpful. She even has meditation practice and food recipes.
Hecate would see this as a great way to honor her too!
