The Art of Self Care

It seems there is always something that can lead us away from taking the very best care of ourselves. We get busy. We have responsibilities. Other people have so many needs. It can feel like the time it will take to do our best self-care, just becomes another stress. 

But time and time again I hear you say, "Oh, I am so glad I got myself to class; I almost didn't come because (fill in the blank), but I feel so much better now!"

Yoga is truly one of the best self caring things you can do. It's effect on body, mind and heart are invaluable in keeping you healthy, balanced and living well.

As summer is on its way in and the beautiful weather begins to call you more and more outside, what will happen to your yoga practice? It can become a challenge to get yourself to the studio but we want to really encourage you to do it anyway!

Here are 5 good reasons to keep up with your yoga this summer:

5. Your yoga studio needs you, even in the summer!

4. You need your yoga! It can help to keep you in balance with all the other activities you
     do. More running, walking, hiking, cycling, golfing, gardening and ___________ .......
     can be hard on your body - do yoga to keep feeling your best.

3. The kids are home and even though you thought (once again) that everything would
    slow down once they were out of school....it doesn't.....yoga can be your personal
    retreat and you know you need it!

2. Early morning classes are available.......you get your yoga in before the kids even get up! 

    Evening classes allow you to take a needed and deserved break after all the activity of
    the day.

And the #1 reason for you to keep up with your yoga this summer.....
 

             Why would you let something you love this much not be a regular part of your life? It                      makes you feel great. You have worked hard to get where you are in your practice                          and don't want to start over in the fall AND it really makes a difference in how you feel,                  how you think and how you treat everyone around you. You love yoga! (And we love you              so get on over here!)

Namaste',
