A very happy International Day of Yoga to everyone here. May the steadfast practice of yoga bring healing and good health to our daily lives.

S2AHathayoga celebrated IDY this year with Yoga for Women’s well-being classes. These were all first time yoga practitioners 😊.
As women, we get so engrossed in all aspects of caregiving and tend to forget about ourselves. Consequently our health and well being suffers. The benefits of a consistent yoga practise cannot be overstated for women, especially with the changes brought on as we age.

A post from the past for International Women’s Day.

“In the story of Tara, she is told she can’t become enlightened in the body of a woman; she has to come back in the body of a man. She responds, “I know that all concepts of gender are just for fools, but since there are few who have reached enlightenment in the body of a woman and so many who have reached enlightenment in the body of a man, I will reach enlightenment in the body of a woman.”

Lama Tsultrim Allione.

Step out of line ladies. Change the blueprints of society’s expectations, re-write the algorithms, restructure the mould. Stand up against oppression of any kind, violence and misogyny and strive to create a safer existence for all. Shout out loud to be heard. Refuse to take No for an answer. And in the process, take with you your friends, sisters, aunts and mothers.

The world awaits the Woman you are.

A very Happy International Women’s Day to all you women out there!
