Love This! Marilyn Strikes a Pose

Happy Tuesday! In honor of Marilyn Monroe, who was born on a Tuesday in 1926 (June 1st, to be exact), I wanted to share my favorite pictures of Marilyn striking a pose...a yoga pose, that is :)

Although she's a total pin-up in these photos, she also looks beautiful, classy, happy, flexible, and in touch with her body, as well. Plus, you can tell that she practiced these poses on her own a bit, which makes me think that she was a closet yogini...

Dhanurasana (aka Bow) pose

Sirsasana (aka Headstand)...love the attitude!

Navasana (or Boat) pose...I don't think I've ever seen someone SO happy in this pose! Usually students look a little pained in this one :)

On her way into Halasana or Plow pose...

And here she is doing CrossFit! Who knew Marilyn and I had so much in common fitness-wise!??! If only I looked as glamorous when doing these activities...

Gorg, no? Taking a cue from Marilyn, keep it classy and strike a pose today, readers!

Namaste,
Mary Catherine
