Winter Break
Pause. Rest. Reset. Hibernate. Sleep. Mediate. Nap. Veg on the couch. Stay indoors. Eat comfort food.
Do what feels good to your body - whether that's daily yoga practice or a weekly one. You know what your body needs. Listen to it.
I'm taking a break from classes at KBK this season. I need rest, more time journaling, reading, and listening to music. Just being.
I hope you find what you need this winter, whether it's connection or detachment. Take care of yourself.
Reach out if you want to connect. I'll be around. Laying low. Staying present.
Peace and Love.

ASHTANGA YOGA
Ashtanga Yoga has deep roots and is one of the most practiced yoga disciplines world-wide. Known as the “eight-limbed” yoga ("asto" means eight, "anga" limb), it was popularized by Sri Pattabhi Jois in the early 1970’s and brought to the west by his faithful students. The Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series is a deliberate sequence of poses connecting movement and breath, and builds strength and flexibility. It begins with sun salutations, followed by a sequence of standing poses (asanas), then seated poses – the “Primary Series,” and concludes with the finishing sequence. Each pose is connected by the Ujjayi breath, a deep and cleansing breath intended to increase prana with every breath and movement.
