The fall season is in full swing now with Halloween, the Day of the Dead, the time changing Nov. 3, and Samhain (the cross quarter day marking the halfway point between the autumnal equinox and the winter solstice) coming up on Nov. 7.
We are stepping into the dark half of the year when it’s appropriate to honor our ancestors, slow down a bit, and delve deeply into our self care. So practice lots!
Many of you are getting excellent benefits from regular practice at least twice a week and with repetition of the sequences. I usually teach the same class on Tue-Wed and then a different class on Fri-Sat. Continue to refine everything, and find that golden layer and let it meditate you! I was recently asked to write about the benefits of yoga, so here is what I am thinking about these days:
- Learning a reliable system of self care is a resource to work with tensions, anxieties, and aggressive tendencies in the mind, eventually leading to more mental and emotional peace.
- Mental focus, concentration, and stamina are improved as we shift awareness to the slow process of mapping physical sensations and neurologic connections, and away from the rapid-fire thinking and doing of our typical state.
- We can experience less pain and greater freedom of movement by getting to know ourselves and our aches, pains, avoidance tendencies, and emotional triggers more intimately. Being present with all of our human feelings on the mat, in a room full of other humans also being human, can, will, and must! create a better and kinder world.
