From My Yoga Mat Today - The First Crocuses of 2010!!!
I took my Yoga practice OUTSIDE today - it was amazing. I will be practicing outdoors as often as possible and weather permitting now that Spring is in the air!
From my mat flowing through my Ashtanga practice (tried & true, baby), I was able to breathe in clean, fresh New England air, and experience a bright blue sky in each upward dog. It was truly a beautiful day and I am grateful for both the simplicity and efficiency of this practice as well as the weather.
In other news, check out these new Vegan cookies I came up with today - made with almond paste. I said that I was not going to bake anything today but these just happened. I couldn't stop myself.
Try them out, they are incredibly easy and tasty as well. Anyone can bake these cookies!
