Chickadee doing yoga in the snow…

Rick took this series of chickadee photos during the same shoot as yesterday’s American Tree Sparrow post. I had to laugh when I reviewed them because it looked like Chiggy was doing yoga.

…such a nice forward bend! Sigh it out little Chiggy,

let your head become heavy and feel your body relax…

Samasthiti…or equal standing…feel your weight shift

back and forth on your feet and let your mind

slow down, soften your gaze a little chiggy (I know…

when you’re a chickadee it’s darn hard to do!!).

…and for a nice deep hamstring stretch, Parsvottanasana,

reaching out over the right leg with a flat back…take

your time, use your exhale to sink into the pose.

…a gentle stretch for the neck to the right.

…a gentle stretch for the neck to the left.

Ahhhhh! Doesn’t that feel better? Now go back to just being the cutest little bird in the forest!
