Ashtanga and Beauty

Posted on Sep 16th, 2006 by Em : Raw Yogini Em
Went to a wonderful ashtanga class this morning. Today my body felt good and my practice was deep. My breath was powerful and really led me through the 90minutes. Came away feeling on top of the world, literally floated down the street and when I got on my bike to cycle home, I took so much more in around me.

Came home and didn't want to spoil the lightness that was inside and surrounding me, so juiced three pink grapefruits and just sat in the center of my living room, drinking the juice and concentrating on my body and it's sensations.

Now, grapefruits seem to be my 'thang' of the week. been juicing so many of the pink balls of loveliness, and have experimented rubbing the flesh on my skin. Left it on for 15 minutes. Was most cooling and has left my skin feeling lovely and smooth.

Not only am I playing around with fruits and veggies in the kitchen to eat, I think why waste some of these bits of flesh, and pulps.....rub them on the body. Too much money is spent on products nowadays, even more so if it comes in a fancy packaging....go natural. make salad for lunch, with avocado, and leave  a little of this green beauty to smother on your face (and lick off your lips). You've been AVOCADO-ED.

This isn't just for women, my husband also loves covering his face with fruity delights.

Eat well, care for the skin well and feel beauty on the inside and out!
