Daily Pattern: Chakras

On a somewhat related note to yoga, I made a pattern of the seven chakras (that I know of. I will not even begin to pretend I know things about this). I did some research to get the symbols right.
This is also one of my favorite things.

Daily Pattern : OM. Say it with me.

I still have a yoga membership at corepower yoga, but I am horrible at going and I can only put myself through baby-yoga. Beginner yoga for wimps and weenies. Yoga that is in normal heat, with very limited sweating potential, and with moves that your infirm grandma could do. Unfortunately, I am quick to exhaust my patience reservoir when it comes to being uncomfortable while doing a relaxing activity, so I stick to the easy level.

The yoga classes I've been to recently have all had a little bit of chanting involved, so with today's topic, I had to do the symbol that means it all for me. If you've ever been there, you'll share in the magical secrets of OM. Say it with me.......

I am also happy to say I have had some of the best relaxing moments while taking a yoga class. Level 1 classes FTW!

Daily Pattern: Pixel Lotus

Pixel lotus flowers? Whaaaaaa?

I was planning on doing a pixel pattern featuring Street Fighter's Dhalsim and his Yoga Fire... Yoga Fire... Yoga FLAME!

But then I made a celebratory 100th Daily Pattern, er, pattern and I decided I didn't have enough time to go into the painstaking detail needed for Dhalsim and his flaming awesome.

So I settled on lotus flowers (ala the Lotus Pose) but I was stuck in the pixel mindset. And that's how I got here.

But maybe yoga and video games do have more in common than you might think... I know I get into a pretty Zen state when I'm playing Battlefield.

Just ask Lindsay, she tries to throw popcorn my in slack-jawed mouth.

Daily Pattern - Yoga Class

Oh you know, just some super zen ladies working on their yoga tricks. I don't know anything about yoga, and have never participated in anything yoga-related other than falling off my wii fitness a few times trying to attempt video game yoga. I can imagine consists a lot of staring at the person's butt in front of you (not purposely, or maybe purposely, who knows). For all those yoga lovers, and yoga not-knowers, I present to you this pattern. Enjoy.
