The Big Finish

In what has come to be something of a tradition, this week's yoga class (the last of the session) will be all about restoring and relaxing. We'll revisit some old favorites and I'll see if I can unearth some new ones. Bring your blankets, eye pillows and soft, floppy clothes. We may try something that I never do in class..... so bring your open mind and together we can create something lovely.

I also want to encourage everyone to start preparing for all the food that will be available soon. It may be holiday season but our bodies never go on holiday. They see everything we do to them... and they are much happier when we do good things like exercise and eat right. It's easy to pretend that holiday over-eating somehow doesn't count, but it does. Don't you feel better when you feel in control of what you're doing and not just falling into the habit of eating because you can. Sure, I can eat cookies all day and they are yummy. But then I feel awful. I can eat one or two cookies instead and feel good, physically and mentally. So this season I made a commitment to eat right, even if people around me are not.

So I encourage you to keep up whatever exercise schedule you have and watch what you eat. You'll feel better and you may even inspire someone else to take good care of themselves.

Here are just a few we may try. See you in a few days.
