The Birthday

The Birthday

It is yogawithfawn's one year anniversary and much has happened in a year's time...
I joined Lululemon's Research & Development team and am loving their chic yoga wear, I have seen regular students develop their own mindful practice, I've trained really hard, taught in a variety of venues from studios to parks, recommitted myself to a regular meditation practice, finally started performing again, and became my own boss. I can safely say that I have no idea what the next year has in store for me, and that being present is my focus. In celebration I'll leave you with a few inspiring tidbits on this lovely Tuesday: Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project has great tips on improving your life, Susan Miller's monthly horoscopes can't be beat, and whenever I'm out of dinner ideas The World's Healthiest Foods is a fantastic resource.

Love,

Fawn

5 Minutes

5 Minutes

Welcome to yoga with fawn, my blogsweetblog.

5 minutes of silence.

1. find a comfortable posture.
2. focus on your breath with eyes closed.
3. inhale, expand your chest and belly.
4. exhale breath first from your belly and then your chest.
5. feel your spine lengthen through the crown of your head with each breath in.
6. on your exhale, notice where your body meets the ground.
7. after several rounds of breath, bring your hands together in prayer (anjali mudra), bow your head.
8. take a moment to set an intention for the rest of your day.

At any point during the day you can come back to this intention, knowing that you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

namaste,
Fawn
