Patience

Patience is not my strong suit! I can easily get perturbed by waits in long lines, traffic jams, and other little inconveniences of life. Cultivating patience is probably the primary reason that I do yoga. I still get tweaked and annoyed by seemingly minor things, but each time I practice, I work on releasing that negative energy and I try to find a sense of peace and acceptance of what is.
Just for today, I will try to be patient. As the ancient poet Rumi stated, "Patience is the key to joy".

New yoga opportunities!

I will have new yoga sessions starting in the month of February, so if you sat out the month of January and are eager to get back to your yoga practice...now is the time!

February is when we celebrate Valentine's Day, and while many folks consider it a day to honor romance, it is also a good time to consider love in all its forms. We love our spouses or significant others, but our love can extend to family, neighbors, friends, co-workers, and the larger world. Let's not forget to love ourselves as well. Let your yoga practice this month be about practicing love. Learn to love and be kind. Focus on relationships that are full of caring, forgiveness, commitment and gentleness.
