This is my first time filling in the #currentlylist from @the_awesome_ladies_project and it was soooo much fun! (Swipe for a close-up of the comic.) #comics
Some words of wisdom from the realm of black: The queen of spades says: “Don’t go to the gym!” Booja Booja chocolates say: “Relax. Nothing is under control.” Thanks @tammyhanna_heartful_art for the starry planet/moon! #thepainteddiaries
After an awesome lunch with the lovely @fern.and.oak.art — including the most amazing piece of Black Forest Gateau — the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was yoga! I’m happy to say that I eventually turned up for my practice and felt all the better for it. The end to a perfect day. #divyams30daysofyoga #30daysofyoga
Getting earthy with some siennas and umbers! #thepainteddiaries
Handstand! #divyams30daysofyoga #30daysofyoga
Allow me to introduce some of the yoga props I use, which help me to remain aligned in my practice whilst also attending to the nerve condition in my foot. The wooden tressler is a fantastic piece of equipment — a bit like a hurdle that a horse might jump over. It’s big and sturdy and helps me support some of my body weight so it doesn’t fall downwards onto my feet too much. I wear crocs for the standing poses which help to cushion my foot on the hard floor. At the same time, they are still quite firm and supportive so my feet have something solid to stand on. And you can’t beat good ole fashioned cork bricks for pushing up against, leaning on, and standing on. This is one of the things I love about the Iyengar yoga method: the intelligent use of props so that people with injuries and physical limitations are able to experience the challenges and benefits of each pose. I love how I can take care of my body and yet still stretch my capacity. This feels good! #divyams30daysofyoga #30daysofyoga #iyengaryoga
Moving into some earth tones with yellow ochre and sand in #thepainteddiaries . Thanks @phill_rushmere for the “giggle” and “bliss” tickets from your stash at the Messy London meet-up last autumn!
Day 3: time for a change in perspective! #divyams30daysofyoga #30daysofyoga
Today’s challenge was easy to fulfil because it was my weekly Iyengar yoga class. Today we focused on backbends! #divyams30daysofyoga #30daysofyoga
