“Are you sure, brown dog? Bark if I see ANYTHING at all on the street, and twice as loud if I see NOTHING at all?”

“Hmmm. Fruity, black currant, vanilla, buttery… I’d say cab-sauvignon aged in oak.”
“I’d say cherry Pop Tart.”

The Daily Post Discover Challenge: The Story Behind a Door


June 21st is the United Nations-sanctioned International Day of Yoga (International Yoga Day). United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, in his Message on the 2016 International Day of Yoga, tells us, “Yoga balances body and soul, physical health and mental well-being.”
Pertinent to this year’s observance of #YogaDay, Ban Ki-moon states:
“Practicing yoga can also help raise awareness of our role as consumers of the planet’s resources and as individuals with a duty to respect and live in peace with our neighbours. All these elements are essential to building a sustainable future of dignity and opportunity for all.”
Here are some poses that have definitely improved my mental well-being:

legs up the wall pose (Viparita Karani)

downward-facing dog pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana.)

cow pose (bitilasana)

corpse pose (Shavasana)

child pose (Balasana)

treed pose (Squirrelasana)
