Coming off my 2nd bout of COVID this year, I'm out of breath, stiff and impatient to feel fit again.
Especially in post-partum classes, women will say “Wow, I’m so out of shape!” or “I used to be able to do planks! Where did my strength go?”

Of course, in yoga, there's something in Sanskrit about that: 'Santosha' describes the practice of Contentment. Being okay with what we have. I’m noticing, today, it is indeed a PRACTICE-- Not something we h a v e, but something we cultivate.

We can be too busy growing or sustaining another human being to finish a presentation, or the dishes; We can be too sick to get off the couch. No matter what: Taking a moment to appreciate --as we sometimes say at the end of class, "the health and happiness we have at this very moment” --can not only restore our patience, but make things seem like they're just like they ought to be.

Feeling unsettled?
'Humming Bee breath' or Brahmari, lowers blood pressure, induces a feeling of well-being and buzzes your face and head with its quiet vibrations. In pregnancy, it's a sonic massage for bellies that leaves mothers feeling strangely blissful.. More coolness to come! Prenatal Yoga in English every Tuesday night at 8 at the FGZ with Lisa!

“Develop the heart.
Too much energy in your country
is spent developing the mind
instead of the heart…

Work for peace
In your heart and in the world
Work for peace.
And I say… never give up.”

H.H. the XIVth Dalai Lama

As we look for ways to feel better about humanity, whether it’s making a donation or showing up for what you believe in, let’s remember that we can only give what we, ourselves, have got.
Are we doing anything to feed aggression within ourselves? How can we practice compassion, non-violence and openness?

The way we talk to ourselves on the mat is the way we talk to ourselves in life. Let’s cultivate a kind, inner voice as we move, breathe and make shapes in our asana practice. Deep belly-breathing brings in lightness, revives our sense of humor and clears the lungs and the throat.
When we grow humility and kindness in ourselves, we have a little more to give. Then we can keep going out and make a difference.

Join me for "Yoga for Every Body" at Frankfurt's Sakti Yoga studio, Tuesday evening at 6!
