I've been at this job for about a month and apparently I am still too new for anyone to tell it's floral dress day at work... fuck it.

Aside from those 'niceties', my work life is basically me getting payed good money to hang with my new fury friends, drink coffee, and take selfies. I'm kind of loving this... As if this place didn't have enough perks, I also bike 5 miles to and from it. I get 50 miles of cardio AND save a boatload on gas!? Score!

Bakasana

Today's asana was inspired by my favorite yoga mom: 

Laura Kasperzak (@laurasykora)

Asana: Bakasana "crow pose"

Her tutorials are so easily followed and her ambition moves me.

My awesome new workspace

Is finally in my room!

I was a little reluctant to put my workspace here. Working where i sleep didn't sound too appealing...But  now I'm somewhat relieved.
I do hot yoga in here on my lunch break and take naps when I can as well! It's actually quite peaceful to sleep at night knowing I only need to roll out of bed 2 minutes before my shift starts.

Ultimate Comf

Love my Rook sharks sweater. It's thee most comfortable sweater... in the history of comfy sweaters.

Vice.

Here we go again. More technical issues. Yet, another day, another dollar. Still stressing over the daily grind that pulls me into the endless vortex of debt. More money, more problems. At least this way, I get a grip on what's to be done... at least this way, the nerves surrender... at least this way, the anxiety numbs and my mind is soothed.

Home... sick.

Homesick.

Not many fitness posts lately. My body's telling me no, but my mind... my mind is telling me YES.

Fortunately, my body controls all physical muscle movement, so sick I will remain until I have nursed myself bsck to health... Maybe some light yoga tonight? We'll see.

Just a quick lunch break

To run a quick mile. Pretty sure I beat my personal best yesterday but my GPS crapped out in the middle of my run so I have no idea... nonetheless, I beat it today. By almost 20 seconds! Sweet. Always room for improvement! I love my job :)

Working in my undies

This is the good life.. I'm not even mad it's Saturday morning and I'm up at the crack of dawn to "work"... Technical issues mean: Morning flow.

Started with tadasana> Mountain fold> Reverse Heron pose> Basic warrior variation> Pinchamayurasana> And ended in a relaxing bridge pose - chatush padasana

Good morning!

Morning yoga flow...

Regardless of how tired I am At 5 am, I start my day off religiously with these few stretches..

1.) Warrior Lunge

2.) Extended mountain pose

3.) Alternate Warrior Pose

4.) Fold/ Repeat

'Cause I ain't no hollowback girl!!

What ever happened to the flexibility we use to have as infants and children? We let it slowly diminish until we our body's finally succumbed to the inevitability that it'd never be attained again. I for one, feel as though this body is yearning for my youth and flexibility back.

Today's strength/ shoulder opening asana:

Camel Pose (ultrasana)
Hollow back
Sitting hollow back
Hollow back Handstand> Scorpion


* All poses include core strengthening and balance

Learning

To hold a good forearm balance AND scorpion pose. I'd love some feedback!
