News & Notes - January 2024

Hello my friends!

Here's the news...

NEW VIDEO - I have a new video on my YouTube channel - Pay Attention to the Breath. We use our breath to energize, to calm, and to strengthen. Give it a try!

And some notes!

MINDFUL MOVEMENT IN BAD WEATHER - We've had lots of snow, rain, and wind storms in the upper Midwest (and throughout the US) this weekend. Please be safe in your day-to-day movements. When we're on our mats, we practice mindfulness and moving with intention. Please do the same when going outside.

YOGA TO BUILD STRENGTH - I have been working with a resistance band in my personal yoga practice lately. It's an interesting addition to our list of props and I'd like to add it to our sequences when we practice together. My intention is to use resistance bands in some of our sequences beginning in February. It will be like all of our props, we will use them in certain poses on certain weeks. As always, we will have options in our practice if this does not serve your needs.

POEM, PRAYER, MANTRA - Finally...I hope that you are still reading, because this poem by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer is beautiful.

One Wish

bird of peace—
make of my heart
a nest

Stay warm!

Love & peace,
