A cherished place: on the mat!
First off: I’d like to welcome back Autumn. It is a joy to be with you again.
Secondly: I’m in need of new Yoga pants and while I thought that I might make a blog post about my favorite brands and styles (super sweat friendly for me!)– I had a shocking, renewed realization about just how expensive Yoga can be. Actually, as I looked at the cost, I began to wonder if I really need new Yoga pants at all (I do).
Eventually, once the sticker shock wears off, I’m sure that I will get around to blogging about my favorite Yoga pants but for now I thought I would share some tips on how to save money while getting your practice on.
Seven or eight years ago, I had the opportunity to take classes with Fiji McAlpine. She is an amazing Yoga instructor who made a strong impression on me and my practice. All of these years later, I remember two very distinct moments that happened in her class: 1) I learned to soar in Virabhadrasana III under her guidance, in a way that I am still grateful for to this day, and; 2) she shared some very important points about compassion for the self and for others that I really needed to hear.
Imagine the glee I experienced when finding her offering free classes at www.doyogawithme.com while searching for workshops to attend. This web site offers multiple videos with different instructors, styles, breathing, meditation and anatomy for FREE. As Autumn begins again and we find ourselves shedding the old for the new, our habits, rituals, and maybe even our pants included, take a moment to check out www.doyogawithme.com and see if you can’t find something that ends up being a fresh, healthy habit this season.
