Hold on; Heading out; Holidays onward…HO HO HO…On this longest day of the year, I welcome the change of pace, scenery, and interactions that a vacation provides. Much needed and well-earned, this summer “off” is a good way to replenish, restore, and re-calibrate. And with joy and ease, the intention is to make this summer exactly that – joyful and easy-going!
While my yoga classes are on hold (OH) until the fall, we can still practice daily mindful movement, deep breaths, and mental rest, to give ourselves the time “off” that is so crucial to busy lives. Come up with your own short or long practice by just sitting quietly for a few deep mindful breaths, or by getting on your mat and letting movement and awareness unfold. And if you need guidance, try one of my GUIDED MEDITATIONS or YOGA VIDEOS BY ANNE for inspiration.
As I venture into nature for a bit, I leave you with these wise words from Walt Whitman,
“Now I see the secret of making the best person; it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.”
Happy summer solstice dear friends and may you rest and restore over the next couple of months. See you in the fall!
