Living Joyfully: Fall Planting
Hi Everyone!
Those of you who have visited the studio recently have had the pleasure of seeing our beautiful garden begin to take form. The landscapers have been working steadily, laying out natives and steadying the stonework, slowly but surely transforming the space into the peaceful oasis it was meant to be. I've been enjoying being witness to the process, and also imagining how beautiful the garden will be in spring, when the small and hardy shoots entering the ground now will blossom and grow.

We often think of Fall as a time of death; how hopeful it feels to be a gardener, laying out the Fall planting in preparation for spring. Just as the seasons of nature follow their cycles, our own lives too have times of mad growth, times of stasis, and times of hopeful waiting to see the results. Our Yoga practice can aid our awareness of these cycles, fine-tuning our bodies and minds to sense the subtleties of our own transformation. As I watch my 3 week-old daughter grow, (in her sleep it seems!) I wonder what changes await us both in the year ahead. The best we can all do is nourish our continued growth by taking good care of ourselves, making time to practice and to connect with one another and our shared world. These actions are seeds we can plant anytime.

Om Shanti,
Erin
