Ahimsa is one of the namas (ethical principles) in yoga. It means non-violence. I've always interpreted it as thus meaning "do no harm." And, further, have interpreted ignoring suffering or staying silent in the face of it IS a form of harm. I thus applaud the work of these yoga studios in Minneapolis✊🏽

Last week, the Saturday morning class at Yess Yoga on 26th Street in Minneapolis began like any other. But as the 8:30 am class neared the end of the hour and students quietly settled into Savasana, the teacher let out a hushed, “Oh no, oh no, oh no.”

As the world grows more and more chaotic, it becomes even more important to take time to reset and to practice kindness. I hope you can make it to a class (or two or ten) this month🌻Please note the time change for the Friday class at Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church - it is now at 10:30am.

Sometimes we all need to get away and reset, right? This weekend retreat in Greensboro (AL) sounds like a great opportunity to do so!

It includes a talk on trusting your gut (with Dr. Anne Strand and Mary Jo Weaver), Qi D**g (with Nikki Douglas), a Prairie Walk (with Elise Smith), and night evening sky observation (guided by Kathryn Williamson & Michelle Wooten).

The $275 cost includes all of the above + 2 nights lodging + Saturday dinner + Sunday breakfast.

Limited to 12 spaces.

For questions or to book your space, call or text 205-223-9770.

The sound on this one isn't great, so you might want to connect to your Bluetooth speaker. BUT, if you (like me) tend to carry tension in your neck & shoulders, your body might appreciate doing this 20-minute Chair Yoga practice a few times a week🌻

This 20-minute Chair Yoga practice can help build strength and flexibility in your neck and shoulders, beginning to release the tension you might carry there...
