Simple and sacred solo time for me today. Took a sweet bike ride to the beach and created some space and easel flow in my movement practice. Being a single parent makes it a challenge to have alone time and sometimes it is the necessary balm to heal what ails. Grateful for the beautiful weather a healthy body and the healing power of Lake Tahoe Take a moment for yourself and breathe love awaits! #laketahoe #yoga #ease #release #heal #yogini #loveyourself #selfcare #beautiful #timeforme #tahoelife

Came across this photo today looking back on summer botanical classes and forays. Aconitum columbianum aka monkshood. A profound medicinal and fatal beauty. Aconite has been used for ages as a medicine for pain, heart problems, pleurisy and murder! Tales of Socrates, Alexander the Great and many more, poisoned to death by this beautiful yet deadly plant. It’s root Still used today in traditional folk medicine (not recommended for novices) and homeopathy. Homeopathic remedy for fever, anxiety and pain is still widely used today. Please know your plants before experimenting, a pretty flower can hide it’s deadly power #aconite #poisonous #medicine #botany #beauty #botanicalmedicine #herbalism #folkmedicine #homeopathic #laketahoeherbalist #lookbutdonttouch #plantlover
