It is so nice to take a chill moment for yourself, and itâs really hard to. Iâve never been to a studio (yet) cause Iâm broke and anxious. I like it because it doesnât feel like a competition, not even against yourself. Itâs just moving into a position and trying to chill. Itâs fine if you canât reach your arms or whatever that far, whatever feels good, whatever your body likes. Even if itâs just 10 minutes, it really makes all the difference to check in with how your body parts are feeling, including your brain.
I am procrastinating my yoga right now.
I like Yoga with Kassandra and Yoga with Bird on youtube. I hope at least one person gets into yoga this way with me!

đ§I love taking fitness classes IRL and I think boutique fitness is so interesting and literally, like I said, could just make this whole thing about that. So if you ARE interested in recommendations of studios and teachers and stuff reach out to me bc I am going to STOP but I did wanna say-- if youâre someone whoâs been practicing yoga for a long time, especially at home, it can get kind of monotonous- you start to be able to predict where youâre going next, like, Warrior 2, then Reverse Warrior, then Triangle. Etc. So I recently found this girl I am in love with and her name is Nicole and she doesnât upload videos very often but theyâre like the closest to an in-studio experience Iâve ever had at home. Her sequencing is so creative!! Sheâs an artist. Itâs definitely for more experienced people, but if that is you, I think you will love her. She is amazing at coming up with crazy flows that are so fun and challenging. And a lot of them are a nice hour long!!If you are newer to yoga and are maybe burnt out on Adrienne, I think you would love Yoga With Kassandra... sheâs really accessible.. this is all free on YouTube I should have specified

đ¤¸google the studio first because most have first time visitor freebies. you're not gonna push yourself as hard (and avoid injury) doing youtube vids alone in your room.
and then you get to make friends with people you might not share regular space with otherwise.
better harmony with the OM irl too...

if you told me six years ago that I would be a devoted follower of a bay area yoga couple I would have probably believed you, but would've rolled my eyes. But after regular practice, taking stock of where I started and where I am now, yoga has changed my life. I do like the occasional class, but doing it at home is so much cheaper and you can build a foundation to know a little more about what you're doing. They have classes for all levels and a paid Patreon channel if you want longer ones (75, 90, 120 minutesđĽ)
I'm normally not into the woowoo stuff, but something about Flo's assurances that you don't need to worry about how a pose *looks* only how it *feels* makes all the difference. Focusing on your breath and his vocal cues help tune you into parts of your body you forget about. And that awareness reaches far to so many other areas of your life. If you're at all curious about yoga, don't roll your eyes or by a cynic like 2018 me. Get into it.

đIâm not off streaming, but these are some things I do to feel the fun in movies/music again and diverge. Iâve always kinda been a CD supremacist and saved/kept buying them, itâs never too late to start, for any medium!
- investing in some equipment like DVD, CD, cassette, etc players if you donât have the old ones to dig out, or theyâre too messed up. A decent DVD player is super inexpensive these days, avoid internet nostalgia up-sellers
- going to any random thrift store, including the âbad onesâ, and really going through their book/CD/DVD inventory THOROUGHLY. Pick up what looks interesting, itâs likely something you already have in your digital library will be there for cheap and to own forever.
- patronizing remaining movie stores, they can be few and far between but the people who run them are usually very passionate about film. If you have one within a reasonable distance from you, it feels great to take a DVD back they recommended you or a familiar classic. Going to the movie store can be so fun and is something weâve been deprived of since DVDâs decline. Same for music shops
- exploring obsolete mediums, if you end up getting a VCR you can find tapes for super duper cheap and watch a lot of movies and expand your library fast!
- movie or music or medium specific swaps if theyâre in ur area, or trade with fellow enthusiasts anywhere you can find them, even online movie clubs

I went to an incense making class earlier this year for my birthday, itâs super easy and makko powder is basically the ONLY thing you need to buy to make incense at home. Itâs pretty cheap and lasts a while, you can get it on amazon.
All you need to make incense is equal parts makko powder, your dried+pulverized herbs/flowers/etc, and water (give or take on the water, use your intuition). And boom, you have incense âdoughâ that you can now shape into cones, dry, and burn. Iâve been making incense with what I can find around me, natives and invasive plants. Itâs awesome and I totally recommend it. Making incense makes me feel like the computer energy is leaving my body.

He passed in May, he was 11 years old. His name is Bear/Tarzan. It broke me. I always thought this was one of my favorite pictures of him, Iâm really glad I had it saved somewhere else because I took it a while back. I was so happy to find it I cried. I want to get this picture tattooed one day. I miss my big gorgeous angel boy so so so much. <3
