A Brief Escape - A Big Dose of Calm

Last week I was on a brief vacation in northern Minnesota. Everyday I got up and did yoga on the deck facing the lake and listened to the loon.
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that!
My daily yoga practice is like that. It's like taking a brief vacation. I shut my head off. I come internal. I listen to my breath. I come to the space within where I am in mental, physical, and emotional balance. I get replenished and recharged. It is like a miniature vacation without having to travel!
Yoga is like that. If you're looking for a sanctuary away from the hubbub and intensity of living full out in the fast paced world, consider sampling a yoga class and see if it isn't the big dose of calm you've been looking for.
The next Open House at Isis Yoga center is on Sat, Sept. 6 from Noon - 3 p.m. All classes are free that day and we'd love to share some calm with you!

Like Floating in Still Water

I'm reminded today as we enter what is usually the hottest period of summer of the reason I continue to do yoga. It's a safe harbor for me. It's a gentle space that I can float in for a while. I listen to my breath. I relax. I come to that space which is the center of myself where I can just be. When I'm done I feel centered, refreshed, and confident, as I move into the activities of the day.

If you haven't explored yoga, this might be a good time to stick your big toe in. It might be the big dose of calm you need.
