Vacate ~ Twist to Cleanse

Parivrtta Sukhasana - Revolved Easy Pose
Easy pose is not easy, but over time and with practice, a bit easier.

Daydreaming about a dramatic life change? What is it you are imaginably missing? We live in opportune times, but moving city, house or school may be an exaggeration despite its prevalence.

Perhaps you miss your hometown — go and visit! You likely also crave connection, so invite the neighbors for an aperitif. Has house hunting become an obsession? Maybe clear out some furniture, add color or create an outdoor living space. Is the kids’ school bogging you down and your booking tours at other shiny options? Well, that’s what Summer vacation (vacate!) is for: take a break! 

Pinpoint your longing and use creativity and resourcefulness to fulfill it in your immediate situation and surroundings. Because, let’s face it, the kids don’t want to ‘move’.

& then see if you feel the same way come Fall…

Leisure ~ The Yoga Good Life

Sukhasana - Easy Pose for meditation and pranayama
Rest palms on knees to promote a tall straight spine.

Your free time, leisure time, is meant for restoration and well-being. 

Monetization of our free time is robbing us of our money and our peace. Be weary of any “leisure” activity that costs you. (In fact, your leisure activities, if truly personally enriching, should be more likely to make you riches.)
