"Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift."

We are celebrating with none other than Mary Oliver's Dog Songs, and our furry friends. Thanks to Garcia Street Books for this lovey photo.

On Meditating, Sort Of, by Mary Oliver

Meditation, so I’ve heard, is best accomplished
if you entertain a certain strict posture.
Frankly, I prefer just to lounge under a tree.
So why should I think I could ever be successful?

Some days I fall asleep, or land in that
even better place — half asleep — where the world, spring, summer, autumn, winter —
flies through my mind in its hardy ascent and its uncompromising descent.

So I just lie like that, while distance and time
reveal their true attitudes: they never
heard of me, and never will, or ever need to.

Of course I wake up finally
thinking, how wonderful to be who I am,
made out of earth and water,
my own thoughts, my own fingerprints —
all that glorious, temporary stuff.

If you are looking to adopt a dog or just want to help support our furry friends in need, we have several rescue events lined up with our friends at Dogs Allowed Tampa Bay. Coming up Aug. 27th is the Summer Rescue Event. We will be hosting events monthly on Saturdays from 1-5pm. Save the dates for some fun holiday gatherings including the Halloween doggie costume party!

Art via• • “When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree.

The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You are too this, or I’m too this.’ That judgment mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.” - Ram Dass

The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry - Scottish Poetry Library

We had a great yoga class in Safety Harbor last night! Here's the playlist that many of you asked me about, and a link to the poem I shared. :)

Hear me out 🙉 but boat pose is a really naff choice if you want to strengthen your abdominals 🛶

The word ‘CORE’ is used so often in yoga but it actually spans such a huge range of muscles and muscle groups. It does NOT mean ‘your abs’.

Boat pose is a great strength pose - but is predominantly targeting your hip flexors. Which is great! Strong hip flexors are fabulous and are actually a core muscle! 🤓 But if you’re doing endless boat poses because you know your abdominals could benefit from some extra strength... well your time could be better spent else where.

Half boat for example! Bit of stupid name if you ask me because there’s nothing half about it 😳 It’s also known as a hollowbody in the fitness world.

Half/low boat is going to REALLY challenge your abdominals - it’s so hard!! So swipe across for some different variations to practice to ensure you can maintain good form - your lower back should be squished against the mat or at least only millimetres away 👌🏼

The Peace of Wild Things | The On Being Project When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

Picking Blueberries, Austerlitz, New York,1957 - Poem by Mary Oliver

Thank you to everyone who came out to Pints and Poses at Crooked Thumb Brewery this weekend. Nothing beats practicing outside under the big trees and listening to birdsong. Here’s one of my favorite summer poems that I read at the end of class. Happy summer y’all! 🍃 Ashley

Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the next class at Crooked Thumb Brewery on June 25 with the amazing Michelle!

Picking Blueberries, Austerlitz, New York,1957 - Poem by Mary Oliver

“What is the meaning of life? ... The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark;”


Thank you for my daily miracle, Vader! You made me smile in pigeon pose. 🖤

Happy Easter to my yogis who are celebrating today ! 🐰☮️💕 Ashley

Thanks to everyone who came out for Pints and Poses today at Crooked Thumb Brewery!

You can come practice under the trees with me again on the second Saturday in April. 💙 Ashley Feyedelem

Thanks to everyone who came out to an invigorating yoga class at Crooked Thumb Brewery! If balance is a resolution for 2021, check out these articles on sthira and sukha. ☯️ The first was one is a short read, and the second goes more in depth! We practiced sthira and sukha on our mats today.

“You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” Join me for one last Mary Oliver poem and one last yoga class at Hot Yoga 365 tomorrow. It has been an absolute blessing to practice alongside so many dear yogis. 🖤 Ashley

No matter how this whole thing swings tomorrow y’all, we will still need to show up for one another, sharpen our tools,
plant more gardens,
sing more songs,
resist oppressive systems,
teach our children well,
learn from people who think differently than us,
take care of our elders,
speak kindly to one another,
protect this wild, wild earth,
build collective solutions...
study the seasons...
learn from our ancestors...
Make more art.

This work will not end in an election.

It will not end with an icon.

It is a lifetime of effort.

It is a long haul.
.
.
.
Rest well, rise bright eyed, and prepare to keep going.
Just keep going.

When I Am Among the Trees by Mary Oliver

When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness.
I would almost say that they save me, and daily.
I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I have goodness, and discernment,
and never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.
Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”

Take care of others with one simple act of kindness. 😷

💙🌖✨

“If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.”
