Yogaversary!

Hello my friends!

I'm back and I'm looking forward to practicing with you again this week.

It's October, so that means it's my YOGAVERSARY!

Yep, 13 years of teaching yoga and I STILL LOVE IT! (Yes, I need to say that in all caps!) I am so happy to be sharing yoga with all of you. Thank you so much for joining me.

This past year we added a weight bearing component to our practice with our resistance bands. Yoga adds value to the exercise by encouraging us to be in the moment with each movement. We also take the time to tune into the body and notice how the movement makes us feel (interoception). By connecting the movement with our breath, it's all yoga.

Another piece that we've added to our practice this past year has been mudra - a sign or seal with the hands. There are so many different mudras available to us and it has been fun to select an appropriate one each week to incorporate into our practice. It's always interesting to note the subtle changes in the mind/body as we focus on our mudras.

Looking forward, what's next? As always, I am studying about ways to age well. Most recently, I took a course about functional movement and exercise within the realm of yoga. Next weekend, I'm enrolled in an on-line class about somatic subtle body yoga. In my regular weekly studies, the focus is on yoga for chronic fatigue this month. I love to learn about how yoga can serve every body and then I can hardly wait to incorporate those new ideas into a sequence that I can share with you.

Thank you, dear yogis, for allowing me to guide you in your practice. It is an honor to share yoga with you.

Love, love, & love!
