My father and I listen to the oldies all the time and we both enjoy it very much. Beatles is our all time favourite. This is one of the final assignments (illustrations) back in college, specially dedicated to my father. He really got me rolling with the oldies.

Thank you for the inspiration, father.
~Luv, Girl~ That’s my name at home.

Do you remember her…?

i dream of jeannie

…awww this used to be one of my favourites back then. When I was a child, I used to sit still and excitedly with my two elder sisters while watching I Dream of Jeannie shown on television every weekend. We loved it !! I always wanted to live inside Jeannie’s bottle and be one of the genies. Hah !! Cute and classic !!

Oh… How I just realized that I am smiling while posting this. Hoho… it makes me happy. Why not let’s take a break on this lovely Sunday morning and watch one of the episodes. Before that, let’s watch the introduction first with the theme song. Still remember how it sounds like? Here you go. Enjoy !! *Blink blink* 😀

Restorative…

supta badhha konasana

… this asana promotes circulation around the pelvis and the front body (pelvis, belly, chest, and throat), Supta Baddha Konasana is often recommended for:

• women, in all stages of life
• supporting fertility
• pregnancy
• easing PMS symptoms
• easing menstrual cramps
• improving indigestion
• increasing flexibility in the inner hips/groins

In addition, Supta Baddha Konasana can be very grounding and soothing. It calms the sympathetic nervous system. You can practice this pose when you seek to:

• calm anxiety
• reduce stress
• soothe and comfort
• improve focus
• calm and clear a scattered mind
• reduce tension
• relieve headaches

I have just tried it to relief menstrual cramps and it is magic. 😉

How?

1. This pose requires a yoga strap and bolster (or folded blanket).
2. Begin in a seated position with your feet together.
3. Connect the strap in a wide loop.
4. Wrap the strap around the back (on the sacrum) and then wrap the other end around both feet so that they are pulled in close to the body and supported.
5. Then, use a bolster under the middle back to the head and lay back.

Once you get comfortable in this pose you won’t want to get out of it!

Namaste.
