SF42 Loyalty and Down Dog

Deeply explore Yoga’s Downward-Facing Dog pose in a practice inspired by the Dog Spirit card from Colette Baron-Reid’s The Spirit Animal Oracle. The card’s message is to be loyal to what you love, but also consider what you need to let go so you have room to grow. Just like the notion that your heels must reach the floor in Down Dog (hint: they don’t), what are you holding onto because you’ve always done in that way? Where is your loyalty wasted on what doesn’t serve you?

This episode’s cover image is a tribute to my very loyal dog Laci, who passed away in July and is missed every day. Much gratitude to Blair Sutherland (www.blairsutherland.com) for the beautiful intro and background music.
