Summer's Last Blast!

In July, it felt more like late August or September...now in late August, it feels like July! Don't be deceived! Fall is just around the corner and September usually brings with it a new pace and routine. I am hoping that many of you will be including or coming back to a yoga practice in your fall schedule.

One of the Niyamas in yoga tradition has do with equanimity and contentment (Santosha). Taking each moment and day as it comes, both good and bad, with an even temperament and an ability to let go of our need to try to control events and outcomes. So, as we head into autumn, keep up your practice. Give your body and mind some time to work hard and be challenged, along with time to be still, quiet and aware. Even as schedules shift and seasons change, you can move forward with a sense of calm and contented joy.

See you on the mat!

Fall yoga dates

Sadly, August is here and summer yoga is winding down.....All Saints Lutheran has their last yoga class tonight at 7pm, and Advent will have its last yoga class for the summer on Monday August 12th.

The good news is that with September, many of us get "back into a routine" and find our way back to structured and scheduled ways to care for our health. I have new class dates set for the Thursday evening class at All Saints Lutheran in Eagan: Yoga meets 7-8pm and the fall session will run Sept 5-October 10th.

Enjoy the sunshine and I will hope to see you all on the mat in September!
