Yogabilities classes are on hold until Spring. Stretch, embrace space and silence, and give yourself the gift of three deep, conscious breaths when it’s all too much. Even in the midst of life’s storms, we can choose to meet our moments differently.

“If you pour a handful of salt into a cup of water, the water becomes undrinkable. But if you pour the salt into a river, people can continue to draw the water to cook, wash, and drink. The river is immense, and it has the capacity to receive, embrace, and transform.
When our hearts are small, our understanding and compassion are limited, and we suffer. We can’t accept or tolerate others and their shortcomings, and we demand that they change. But when our hearts expand, these same things don’t make us suffer anymore. We have a lot of understanding and compassion and can embrace others. We accept others as they are, and then they have a chance to transform.”
—Thich Nhat Hanh
