First full day in Istanbul. Istanbul has a really good vibe. It's fascinating, beautiful, clean.. didn't do much today, resting and a little walking around.
and for my sister Zina: the stray cats are well fed and happy. There are cat food vending machines here for the strays!
Met with Yenen yesterday and looking forward to meeting up with my whole group tomorrow. ❤️❤️

Irma’s Philosophy

In June 2024, I went to Sicily with my sister Nora and her three adult children: my niece Angela and my nephews Joe and Chuck. We had a great time visiting family and enjoyed exploring various areas of the Sicilian island. I cherish so many memories from that trip. It seems like it was yesterday, not two years ago. One day on the island of Ortigia, when bumping around the medieval labyrinthine streets of the island, we came upon an ancient piazza....

Not too late to register for today's Zoom Livestream Workshop: Attraction to Traction 10am-Noon PDT. LINK for details and to register: https://yogabyfrangallo.punchpass.com/classes/20484387

Philosophy behind the workshop
We spend so much of our lives compressed—by gravity, by habit, by responsibility, even by our own thoughts. Today we’re going to explore what happens when, instead of pushing harder, we create space. Space between the joints. Space along the spine. Space in the breath. And perhaps, somewhere along the way, a little more space within ourselves.

What you'll need:
A Folding Chair
Two Blocks
Long Strap
One blanket
(Bolster is you have one, not essential)
Yoga mat
Wall Space (part of the workshop is using the wall)

Recording of the workshop will be available to all registrants for 7 days. Perfect for those who are out and about this Sunday.

Wonderful 4th of July Celebration with dear friends in Mazama, Washington.
As we celebrate, I ask myself: What is the best part of being American? (The long list boiled down)
•The US Constitution
•Our protected national and state parks & forests, the varied landscapes, and gorgeous natural settings
•Freedom to create my life in my own unique way, in my own image. ❤️

Brenda’s Flower Ministry

I am so lucky to regularly receive bouquets of flowers from Brenda's garden in Wallingford. Her flowers grace my yoga studio! Brenda's garden starts producing early in the year and her flowers, especially the dahlias and hydrangeas, keep blooming into late fall! She has a talent in flower arranging and the bouquets are so attractive! It is no secret that Brenda has a green thumb....

Simone brought me this sweet miniature bouquet today from her garden. I placed them in the antique cobalt blue inkwell that my cousin John Gallo from Massachusetts gifted me. Perfect! Anne Gallo Christine

Simone’s Green Thumb

I don't even know where to begin when I pay homage to my friend Simone! Simone just turned 80 years young! I put together a slide show that shows off her garden and gardening skills. She definitely has a green thumb and occasionally calls me to say, "Want to come over and see my garden?" She is an ace at making refreshing summer drinks with lime or hibiscus that quench one's thirst....
