Holidays and Yoga

Hi Everyone, It has been a little while since my last entry. Yoga and fitness have expanded so much that my time has been aborbed! Anyhow, thought many thoughts around this topic for me
today and what a great time to recenter ourselves at the holidays. I find that during my time off at the holidays is a great time to seek something new and restore my reserves for after the first of the year. How do we do that? Seek out a restorative yoga class. I gave one this week and I highly recommend taking one. Laura has one this next Wednesday, the 17th. to find out more go to www.yogachi.com. What a great way for us to move into the holidays.
It is also a great time to hit your mat at home, do your favorite poses to uplift that energy. I love warrior I and downward dog and find that anytime of day, twice if I can, do these poses.
Try Downward dog with a block, to rest the head and soften the eyes and forhead.
Also, spending more quiet time meditating, whatever that is for you. And of course our favorite
focus on gratitude and abundance. In spite of what is being said around us, there so much abundance in life. In spite of our best efforts not to pick up on the chaotic energy out there, we still can, so quiet time is even more important. Even just a few minutes. It is amazing what 5 mintues can do. Take care all, and have a happy holiday season. Speak with you in the New Year!
