AUGUST

Theme: How you do anything is how you do everything.

How we breathe, move, think, and feel on the mat is a reflection of how we do everything in our lives.
It also can be an opportunity to know ourselves better – how we are, who we are, our habits, thinking patterns, and aspirations.
The better we know, the better we do.

This month, bring a little bit more attention to these things.

What kind of energy do you want to bring to your practice?
During the movements, are you moving fast or slow?
Are you forcing or not challenging enough?

What kind of attitude do you have?
When you hold poses, are you tempted to move on and rush through?

Can you be patient with longer holds, yourself, and/or people around you?

It is challenging to bring newly created habits off the mat.
I still struggle.

You might think I have my act together all the time, but NO I don’t!
I am just like you, I have those days that suck so bad.

I’m just grateful that I have space (practice) where I can work stuff through, and I can share this practice with you.
