The Yoga of August

Hello friends,

We’re headed into the last week of August and there’s no better time than now to practice the Yoga of August.

What kind of yoga can we practice in August?

The yoga of sunshine – Wake up with the sun and bask in the light. Take your morning coffee or tea outside and observe the nature around you.

The yoga of color – There’s a riot of color in gardens, in parks, and in your neighborhood. Take a walk outside and find every color of the rainbow. Eat the rainbow with the bounty of in-season fruits and vegetables you can find at the market.

The yoga of fun – Take a moment to write a list of 5 fun things that you want to do before summer is over. List things that you really enjoy. Commit to doing at least one of those this week. Let’s infuse as much fun into our days as possible!

The yoga of non-attachment – We know that the warm weather and sunshine isn’t going to last forever here in the Midwest. Let’s enjoy the warmth and light of this present moment to its fullest so that we’ll be ready to welcome the transition to autumn when it arrives.

Yoga is more than poses. Yoga teaches us how to be fully present to the world around us.

Please join me on your mat and let's experience it together.

Love in the dog days of August,

Nina G
