It works the outside AND inside! It was not easy for me to embrace- I am more drawn to faster, competitive things for exercise but it has been overall the most effective thing I have embraced- feel better mentally and spiritually as well as physically. Always interesting to see twice the women (at least) regularly attending yoga classes! Thanks for reading and commenting 😊🙏🏼✨
I comment as I read, I affectionately refer to myself as an “earth muffin” and created a breakfast muffin with the same name, an on the go meal, chock full of fruit and nuts, the kiddos love it.
Sooo funny! I love to make people laugh…it’s like a sharing beyond wonderful. Your muffin also gave me a laugh outloud moment. Can you imagine the two of us at such a retreat! BTW… did you take the dosha quiz? I am trying to guess which type will be most you… pitta, vata or kapha…
I attended only one retreat in my many years, back in 1996 way up in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, a three day stay, they called it, The Jesus and Buddha Retreat and I called it, a holy hot mess, Mary wasn’t there, giggles all around!
Interesting! There was a Buddhist monastery close to this yoga venue- I did not get to visit. When I attended my all- female Catholic college back in the 70’s, a great deal of effort was given to bringing these schools of thought/belief together- It never felt like it jived for me though there is much good in both IMHO.
I thought you might be a vata but went back and forth about a pitta! Be sure to read my note I just posted on this. Apparently there are foods, practices and all kinds of stuff appropriate to each type I am just now exploring 😊💕✨
I have lived, grown, loved and learned in Boulder Colorado for 52 years, it is affectionately known as, the land of fruits and nuts, twenty five miles, surrounded by reality.
I arrived from New Jersey a good Roman Catholic girl who grew up in Little Italy, at the tender age of twenty and at the same time that East meets West touch down in American (whoosh my head was spinning) and the Ayurveda experience was one of the many traditions that still exists here.
I have grown into adulthood now at 71, and still ripe with curiosity and adventure, I don’t hike up and down mountains anymore and have dialed life down a few notches and casual walks are on the menu these days, I also moved a town over from Boulder which I call the peppermint town, and now reside in a meat and potato town. Wow, I sure am chatty after enjoying a perfectly crafted cappuccino sitting aimlessly on the porch, thanks Tracy for giving me a reason to be chatty, happy Sunday. Granola granny G
I loved your chatty self- feel free to be chatty anytime! Somehow I thought you a UK gal, so nice to get to know you better! Several decades ago, I made an out west jaunt with an artist boyfriend (a whole other story), and we happened through several places in the gorgeous state of Colorado, where I for many years declared my most favorite US town to be Steamboat Springs. I have no idea what it may be today but about 40 years ago it was magnificent! My only reservations these days about northern climes is toooo cold. I am fond of sandals, tshirts, shorts sans any coats, hats, gloves or boots. Maybe I am just too lazy to get in and out of all that though. Nice chatting with you! 😊🙏🏼✨
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Love your critter posts and look forward to them. When I was a little girl my dream was to be like Jane Goodall or Diane Fossey- I love critters of all types…sometimes less so the human variety 🤣🤣
Thank you, Tracy! Stay tuned for Star Log #1 on Tuesday.:) And, yes, the Hooman variety of critters can be quite the challenge. Btw, I’ve studied with Dr Goodall. She’s truly an amazing human being, a great ape to which I aspire.
OMG! How exciting - I always watch programs when they come on about her and Dr Leaky. She was so insightful and intuitive- a welcome addition to the world of males that dominated that field. Thank you for sharing that with me- brought a huge smile to my face and a spark to my day.🥰✨✨
Excellent! She’s had a lot of serendipity in her life and a lot of hard work to change things for the better. At 90, she’s still traveling and getting her message across. A great role model.
I do Yoga too! I truly enjoy doing it. I feel so wonderful inside and out afterwards indeed ... 🧘♀️✨️

You dear Tracy are so Earthy funny, you make me belly laugh!

My results from the Dosha quiz
=
Vata - Pitta
=
50% Vata = full of energy and creativity
40% Pitta = sharp thinker
10% Kapha = warm of heart and steady of mind
I believe me to have more than 10% of a warm heart, but overall I fit nicely into Vata-Pitta mind-body type. What’s your percentages Tracy?
I have forgotten my exact percentages but was more heavily pitta with a touch of vata and only 1 answer kapha.

If Mary wasn’t there, it was a bust!! Silly fools to leave her out ☹️🤨
Love this post, Tracy. Thanks you for sharing this with us both in meditation and adventure!

“Would I be the oldest and most unwise one there?
This is tricky to answer. I had a tarot reading where I selected only one card and it was apropos, “The Ancient,” - so the answer is yes”
😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it, Julie! 🥰🤣🫶🏼
Thanks so much for the restack too!
