With the leaves going, going, and nearly gone, our neighborhood is less colorful. But the air is brisk and clear, which is just the thing, because the future seems, well, a bit cloudy. The yogis who attend my in-person morning classes were less cheerful than usual today, but after mindful movement, guided relaxation, and the power of community, the mood was brighter. That’s the challenge ahead of us: look for positives, stay busy, keep healthy, and don’t despair.
Yoga helps. And together, we can help each other get through troubling times. Make a promise to yourself to enjoy moments of peace this week whenever you can. I suggest doing Savasana daily—one or two times—and not necessarily preceded by a full yoga practice. Just a few minutes of stillness on your mat can make a difference.
