October

The October focus is “non-hoarding.”
In this theme, we are encouraged to declutter the irrelevance and share the goodness.

It can be tempting to protect our resources or something we built up (negative or positive) in fear of scarcity, in fear of discomfort.

1. Focus on decluttering: such as ego, jealousy, negative energy, and things/people that no longer serve you for the better.
   The more we hoard, the more we weigh ourselves down. Any of us can become more free only if we choose to let go.
2. Focus on sharing: such as support, positive energy, and kindness. Even just a smile can bring a joy to someone’s day.
   They are abundant and renewable with appropriate attention and enough rest.

But, what does this mean at yoga practice?

When you’re working on yoga poses, are you holding yourself back?
Try your best to shed off distractions, comparisons, and ideas of can’t by focusing on the breath and your physical and mental state.
Shine into the poses by giving your all, efforts, and full attention whatever poses you are working on. It does not matter if it’s a Mountain pose or a very challenging arm balance pose.

Always, – attitude, attention, intention.

These are the poses we’re working on this month.

• 10/5: Side Crow variations
• 10/12: Firefly variations
• 10/19: Hanumanasana variations
• 10/26: Headstand variations
