Summer Lovin
Love ~ be excellent to each other ~ Plus free yoga classes!
Welcome friends, welcome summer! Embrace the heat by vowing to go with the flow. Why complain about something as inevitable as summer heat? It's been ages since I've written and even longer since I hit publish, and I hope to change that. But today we have right now, so let's make the most of it.
I find great comfort in the concept of santosha or contentment. Best practiced by accepting and appreciating what we have and what we are already, and moving forwards from there. When I find the thoughts ruminating to be less than helpful, I come back to santosha, to what is already ok, right now (which is usually a lot) and that gives me the space to breathe, and connect to present moment awareness, where everything belongs.
Make no mistake, it is my yoga practice that keeps me afloat and surfing the waves of life. The weight of our modern world's mass shootings, wars, climate crisis, poverty, racism, divisive politics, illness and loss could easily drown anyone. Yoga is my life raft!
Yoga Homework
It's excellent to practice yoga at home- even just a few minutes a day can relieve stiffness and improve mood. Try the kitchen counter stretch or
Urdhva Badanguliasana (upward interlocking finger pose above) while you wait for your coffee in the morning- report back, I want to hear your progress.

Peace Is This Moment Without Judgement
A Poem by Dorothy Hunt
Do you think peace requires an end to war?
Or tigers eating only vegetables?
Does peace require an absence from
your boss, your spouse, yourself?...
Do you think peace will come some other place than here?
Some other time than Now?
In some other heart than yours?
Peace is this moment without judgment.
That is all. This moment in the Heart-space
where everything that is is welcome.
Peace is this moment without thinking
that it should be some other way,
that you should feel some other thing,
that your life should unfold according to your plans.
Peace is this moment without judgment,
this moment in the Heart-space where
everything that is is welcome.
