Anna Sciré ॐ Yoga with Amore

Let’s not be obsessed with a polished idea of happiness.

Life is way more interesting than that. ✨

And yes, let's remind it: suffering is a privilege of the living.

Some years ago, today, Palenque, Chiapas.

Anjaneyasana.

Crescent Moon. 🌙

With feet like soil itself

the back leg reaching into the past and karma, personal effort and strength

the hips releasing the gap among the possibilities of our becoming

the front leg stepping into the future, dharma, service, and the beginning of a journey.

Preparing the next step - a jump - like Hanuman.

The Magical Monkey God, the poet, the herbalist, the musician, the magician that can immensely increase his size and gather unimaginable forces.
Student of the Sun, who learnt how to stretch from the eastern to the western horizon, with his legendary leap across the ocean to rescue Sita, the beloved wife of Lord Rama, as told in the Ramayana.

The arms are reaching toward the heavens

like

now is an inspired courage guiding our actions

now is our trust allowing transformation.

The chest is opening in prayer, entrusting the process, in devotion, open devotion, to the cycle of life.

The back arches like a crescent moon, drop by drop drinking the dense nectar of the untold story

that will be told

sip by sip, vertebra by vertebra, word by word.

Body body body

is never just the body

is the fleshy humus in which we plant seeds and intentions

it is our ancestors' blood running in our veins

is the orchestra of old wounds and eternal dreams composing the awakening. 

This is a threshold, a gate, a hero's fate.

It is not just a big jump; this is the greatest leap ever taken, across an entire ocean, when all hope was nearly lost. 🔥

Hanuman is symbol of bravery, service,  and expanded consciousness. It is the realization of one's inner, limitless potential in service of a higher purpose, it is building a bridge from ignorance to knowledge, from ego-driven effort to enlightened, compassionate and collective, transformative action.

It’s not just a jump — it's us taking the impossible act of courageous hope, learning to cross oceans in loving service to life. 

And in the midst of all this, in one month is primavera.

"I AM SLOW
AND THIS IS
A POLITICAL STANCE."

One of the most precious things about having friends who are artists is that when you say something to them and then realize, wait, that’s actually a good sentence — and you joke that maybe you should write it down and hang it on the wall — they are the ones who immediately say, “Yes! Please do it. It’s the right thing to do."

Gracias so much for these small and immense acts of encouragement, my querida .ve! ☺️💜⚡🧡🐢

Service and joy.
Love and joy.
Caring and joy.
Breath and joy.
Experimentation and joy.
Jumping dancing soothing yoga and joy.
Revolution and joy.
Art and joy.
Prayers and joy.
Outside snowing, on the sofa reading - and joy.

"Breathing in, I arrive in my body.

Breathing out, I am home."

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale.
