After 2 months of little rain we’ve had a few days of fairly steady rain. Hardly a down pour but the mountain side is now looking fresh and springy now.

Yay! Just arrived!

I found myslef looking up Afrikaans songs about Windmills as I was convinved there was one. Well I discovered there are many, but the one I thought was 'Aai Aia die windomp draai' turned out to be 'die witboskraai!' 🤣🤣

Oh well here I am being a Windpomp nevertheless and it is serving a purpose. The Dru windmill helps to open the muscles inbetween our ribs (intercostal). Although these are not primary breathing muscles, if tight, they can impede breathing.

If you'd like to now more and how to do this you'll have to come to one of my classes. 😆
We may sing some Windpomp songs if you like....

I was thinking the other day about all the things I have done. Believe me I have done a lot of different things, but most of them I have done on my own. It's really hard to be manage everything as a creative persons - prosecuting work, marketing, accounts, sales etc. Which made me realise that, although being a yoga teacher encompasses all that too, at least there is a supportive group around me. I have learnt so much and I can always ask, on a group, or a particular person.
Here's a photo of the network of Dru Yoga teachers around the world. I'm the little pint the bottom of Africa!

I was doing Surya Namaskara (Sun Sequence), the other day, starting, as we do, in Tadasana (Mountain Pose) and this image came into my head of the mountain underneath the sun. It is from a picture book by Ximo Abadia - The Mountain.
The perfect image to have in your head!

Garudasana or the Eagle Pose is one of my favourites, but not everybody's! If your legs refuse to do a pretzel then you could try and use a block or 2 to rest your foot on. Bring the backs of the hands together instead of doing a pretzel with your arms!
I find that this is really helpful for one of my students who has had 2 knee ops. Give is a try and see how you go. Use the breath to relax into it.

The Dru Star Breath can be used to bring calm and reduce anxiety. It is really easy to use and you will also enjoy the stretch and opening of the front of the body. That stretch adn twist feel lovely in the spine. Take a slow, gentle breath out as you move the hands away from the body and breath in as you bring the hands up towards the heart. It is unncesary to do an exaggerated breath, keep it low and slow.

I love the Black Oyster catchers, who are a bit hard too see here, but they spend a lot of time on the rocks near my house.
They are endemic to Southern Africa and have pretty red beaks and legs We sometimes hear them squeaking to each other at night. They make the sound of those rubber ducks which squeak if you press them!
Practicing yoga outside makes one so much more aware of the natural environment, most particular birds, as wherever you live there are bound to be birds even if they are just pigeons. Birds are our closest connection to wild animal life in urban areas. One has to admire there ability to adapt to environments. Even pigeons!
