It’s finally arrived! The time to take our first born off to college. Needless to say, this has put quite a load on this week’s to-do list. But I didn’t want this week to go by without giving you a yoga to-do list. Not all tasks need to be drudgery!
First,
✅ This week’s podcast episode is the culmination of our “season of delight” on Jess on the Mountain, and the message is essential to your health and wellness. In it, I explore how an open and blooming sahasrara, the crown chakra, involves being part of a community, how as yoga therapists we’re trained to make sure our clients are connected to one, and why it makes such a difference to our overall well being, and a life that is healthy and delightful.
“Sahasrara is where we open to that deep sense of connection to a greater power–whether that’s god, humanity, consciousness, whatever. I’m saying that in many ways, it’s the combination of those present that creates that greater power. And when the spark of one divine indwelling meets with other sparks, it creates a fire, which grows, consumes, sheds light, and generates its own energy, like heat. We aren’t meant to walk all alone–that would be a trauma to the whole system–our light would go out.”
Second,
✅ If you’re in a part of the world that’s hot right now, I have a blog post for you from 2022 that teaches a cooling pranayama (breath technique) that you can use to Cool Your Jets in a Minute or Less.
Third,
✅ If your to-do list is overwhelming you right now, here’s my YouTube video with a different pranayama aimed at creating inner spaciousness.
➕ However, if you will allow me to add ONE more thing to your to-do list that will get you excited about hopping back on your yoga mat when things calm down a bit, simply check out my schedule for online classes at Free Day of Yoga on September 2 and sign up! You can remember how much better you feel with just 20 minutes of yoga, you can charge up your chakras, and you can take a moment to set your intentions with this new moon. It’s all FREE, it’s all online, and it’s a great way to shake off the laziness and craziness of summer and prepare the way for a peaceful and productive fall.
Sound good?
May your to-do list include delighting in community, taking a breath for spaciousness, and creating the yoga schedule that will bring you joy. Go from to-do to ta-da!
