An Open Invitation

Happy New Year! I'm finding my way back to the mat.

Not as a challenge though. I don't need to prove my discipline or my dedication. This is really about me giving myself an opportunity to create an intentional vibration.

I used to practice yoga every day. Honestly, my life revolved around how many classes were planned on any given day. And then, my life started revolving around other things. I think most lives are like that--not necessarily with yoga, but just the ebb and flow of what's important and what we have time for.

But I missed yoga (and still do!), which is why this year I am giving myself permission to reconnect with an old friend--my yoga mat.

Something about the peace in a day that gently begins.

Something about breath-movement-repetition that clears my mind and steadies me for whatever..

Something about just taking a moment to sit with myself and check in: What do I feel? Where do I feel it?

I miss that.

And I want there to always be an opportunity for that in my life.

So for January, I have made a promise--not to practicing yoga everyday, but to be intentional about tuning my day to the vibration I want to maintain. So if I don't practice on my mat every day it's ok, because everyday I will make time to breathe and be present. And most days, I intend to include a yoga session of sort.

How will you join me this year, in making time and space for connection with yourself? It's an open invite, I'll see you on the mat!
