YOGA PHILOSOPHY MONDAY
In the Bhagavad Gita, yoga is defined as the practice of tolerating the consequences of being yourself, meaning one should act according to their true nature (svadharma) without being controlled by fear or ego. It is better to follow your true purpose poorly than to be follow someone else’s path well.
- Embracing Authenticity: This approach encourages accepting yourself fully, including your strengths and weaknesses, rather than trying to fit into a mold.
-Detachment from Results: The Gita advises focusing on duty rather than the outcomes, which frees you from anxiety and allows for genuine self-expression.
-Equanimity (Samatvam): The goal is to remain balanced, not becoming overly excited by success or too depressed by failure, treating each as part of the journey.
-Inner Strength: By accepting responsibility for the consequences of your actions, you cultivate a deeper, more resilient self-awareness.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!!!
We are so blessed to laugh with you and to cry with you. We are deeply honored to share life with our beautiful community and with all the incredible women who grace our space!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful self with us!
Thank you for being you! I’M A BIG FAN OF WOMEN

I’m a big fan of women with raucous laughs,
women who overshare awkward truths,
when the conversation stalls.

I’m a lover of singing loudly in the car whenever possible
and I love pulling alongside a fellow diva doing the same.

I’m a big fan of women who love women,
who spot lipstick on teeth and help each other out,
when Mother Nature calls.

I’m a huge believer in comparison being the thief of joy,
that dimming someone else’s light,
won’t ever make yours shine more brightly.

I just can’t get enough of those women,
who are unashamedly themselves,
in technicolour glory.

I’m a lover of laughter and those moments,
when the tears of joy start to flow, give me life.

I think the best therapy is quality time with a friend,
who listens without judgement.

I’m a big fan of women who break, who share,
who rebuild each other and cheer along the way.

I’m grateful for this world half-full of fabulous females,
I see you all,
each and every one.
