Butterfly

I'm having in my period now. So I did yoga poses for menstrual period this morning. I like doing Butterfly pose while I'm having in my period. Butterfly pose is the first Chakra pose. The first Chakra is the Root Chakra. The Chakra's color is deep red. The location is base of spine, perineum(The Chakra DECK). This pose stretches and strengthens the lower back and hip areas. The forward stretch at the end is soothing to the ovaries and abdomen and helps to relieve lower back pain during menstruation (YOGA for WOMEN Shakta kaur khalsa Pg111)

good mornin'

Good morning! I got up early today, I did 1 hour yoga lesson 4 me :) I burned incense in my yoga room. It makes me feel yoga mode. My body was usually not flexible early in the morning. Always I can't Plow Pose early in the morning but I don't really care about it!:) I drank Japanese Hoji tea after the lesson. It's made in my home town Kyoto. I love to make the tea with my 南部鉄瓶 Japanese iron kettle. What a great morning!

Happy Friday♡

Great days

I had great and busy days. I had my son's Pizza party and Graduation ceremony, yoga teacher training, my son's check up at his pediatrics and the dentist. The yoga teacher training was awesome!!! I learned Anatomy and Chakra this weekend. The anatomy class was very interesting. I learned about food also. I'm interesting in about it. My classmates's Chakra teaching was all great. I was very nervous this time because the Archer pose was little bit difficult for me and I had to read many English words this time. I did practice to read it many times before the teaching. I went to lunch with my classmates this time. It was fun and yummy♡ I had a great time at the teacher training.

The green beans, spinach and mash potatoes are all yummy ♡

The teacher training  will wrap up on June. I have to write anatomy report and I have to study for the final exam. So I can't write my yoga blog a lot this month.

hypersensitivity
rage
power plays
manipulate
