The sunshine in Calgary this weekend was incredible. I hope wherever you are in the world, you, too, had a little sunshine on your face. Not even losing an hour of sleep for daylight savings could break my stride today. I don’t know about you, but for me, this little spark of lightness came right on time.

I have been using my yoga breathing techniques lately, not just on the mat. It has been an incredible reminder of how focused breathing during yoga asana can translate to real-life relief. Breathing can help us sleep, calm the overactive mind, manage anxiety and stress, help us endure pain (both emotional and physical), and much, much more.

Tomorrow, I am starting an online course with Off the Mat and Into the World called Nervous System Reset: Somatic Practices for Self and Community Care. I am looking forward to diving in and sharing with you what I have learned. I wanted to sign up for another course with Off The Mat after finishing Bhagavad Gita Now: A Path of Social Justice with Anusha Wijeakumar last month.

There is no better place to practice and deepen your relationship with breathing than on your mat. I invite you to join me this week in breath, movement and meditation. I have three shorter pop-up classes this week and I would love to have you join me.

This quote from the Bhagavad Gita came to my attention today and I thought I would share it as we enter a new week.
“The yogi who perceives the essential oneness everywhere naturally feels the pleasure or pain of others as his or her own.” (Swami Satchidananda, 6.32)
