Calla Prana Yoga

This is the most common excuse I hear. And it's the most backwards one.

A systematic review published in the International Journal of Yoga by Woodyard found that regular yoga practice improved flexibility, strength, and balance while simultaneously reducing cortisol, blood pressure, and markers of chronic inflammation.

You don't need to be flexible to start yoga. Yoga is how you become flexible. Stiffness is the invitation, not the disqualification.

Yoga isn't about the shape your body makes. It's about the conversation between your breath and your tension. Every exhale is your body releasing what it no longer needs.

And the benefits go far beyond flexibility. Reduced anxiety. Better sleep. Improved balance that prevents falls. Lower blood pressure. These aren't side effects. They're the main event.

Your body isn't too stiff for yoga. It's stiff because it's been waiting for you to move it gently, consistently, without judgment.

What's one stretch you could try tomorrow morning before you check your phone?

If you’re a practicing yogi you know this. If You’ve thought about taking up yoga consider the life changing benefits.

Easy, effective and routine.

You suffer more from the story you repeat in your mind than from the event itself. Let it go and become free.

Say YES to Good Friday Hatha yoga 9:30-10:30 am upstairs at the Steveston Hub. See you on the mat.

It takes confidence and humility to acknowledge you don’t have all the answers. It’s also freeing to let go of feeling you need to.

Sage words.

Life does not wait for perfect feelings.

If you keep waiting until everything feels right, you may keep postponing your life.
Healing does not always come first.

Sometimes you move forward while still feeling sad, anxious, or uncertain.
And through living, something inside you slowly begins to heal.

Take the walk.
Start the journey.
Try the new thing.

You don’t need a perfect mind to live a meaningful life.

Often, the courage to keep living is exactly what brings the healing you were waiting for. 🌿

Indulge your soul

Sometimes this is exactly what our souls need. Life doesn’t always have to be loud or productive. It's quite all right if it's slow and gentle. It can be made up of small moments, moving from one simple thing to the next, with a warm cup nearby and no pressure to rush.

There is beauty in doing a little of this and a little of that. There is healing in allowing yourself to just be.

May we all give ourselves permission to move softly through our days, and find peace in the ordinary. 🤍

Pause, breathe, listen.
