IT'S SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather today (even if it's just a walk around your office building at lunch time!) and soaking up some much needed Vitamin D.
Spring is a time of rebirth and a perfect time to look at how our yoga practice can represent a cycle of life. In the beginning, as we sit or lie down in quiet to focus our thoughts, we are born again. As we warm up, we get to know the body just as a child learns to navigate crawling and walking. Sun Salutations are like our teenage years- a demonstration of strength, power and stamina. Standing poses are like our 20's-40's-- exploratory, and a time to learn more about how we want to show up in the world. Back bends must be approached with the knowledge of all that as come before-- much like our 50's and 60's, when we must apply the wisdom necessary to tackle the harder things in life. Our quiet, long-held and contemplative seated poses mirror our 70's and 80's, a time for reflection, understanding and enjoying life from the broad lens of experience and acceptance. And, of course, Savasana is death, the ultimate rest. But not a death to fear, because every time we come to our mat, we begin again.
I have some great offerings coming up this month that I hope you can attend!
See you on the mat,
XOXO
