Welcome! Here is where you can find when and where I am teaching and cooking, or maybe sometimes, what is on my mind. Hope you have a nice stay!
I have chatted with so many people about this subject of finding motivation to move. It is more then challenging when you are sick, or have injury, or depression, or kids, or, Or, OR..... The list goes on and on. Why is it that even though we know yoga, or exercise, will help us feel better, we just can’t seem to get started?
Last week I made collard greens, ( as I have been almost every week since fall started), and I snapped a photo. I then posted said photo to face book commenting on how much I love those greens. I then received multiple comments and emails asking for the recipe.......Well, having no such recipe in hand I scribbled down the best estimate I could and sent it out. As I did that scribbling (typing) and sending, I decided I should do something a bit more productive and post about it!
Yoga uses breath work quite a lot. Pranayama, (yogic breath work), has many different styles of breath to treat different ailments, provide emotional and mental support, and relief. I could go on and on about the benefits, but, today I want to focus on a style of pranayama that works for me.
Change. We all know it is a part of life, and, most of us want to get more comfortable with the process. Maybe we can even find a fun new way to look at that constant companion... change. This month we would like to talk about how yoga can help us find some comfort in that sometimes uncomfortable process.
Did you know that some yoga classes are conducted in candlelight? I find candlelight, or firelight to be quite magical. I thought I would share a little about my first candlelight yoga experience. My hope is this will persuade you to give candlelit yoga, meditation, or movement a try.
