Alpenglow from the White River |
It's about going somewhere beautiful, feeling the sun and the wind and the crunch of the snow. It's about taking the mindfulness of yoga out into the world. I went up there alone yesterday to do meditation my way. Sometimes meditation is stillness and silence, but it doesn't always have to be. This time it was the rhythm of my steps, matched with breath. The sensation of the chilly air in my lungs and being surrounded by overwhelming beauty. This time it was about movement, quads burning as I slipped along ridges and between rocks, picking a path that traced the earthen curves of the mid-mountain.
What a stud |

Yoga is about a connection between the body and mind. Go play outside, be active, see something beautiful, find joy in the day to day, consciously connect with the natural world. Take time to nurture yourself in a way that makes you feel whole and strong and brings you peace.
Take your yoga with you.
