Saying YES!

Written By Lisa Vratny-Smith

This week the concept of balance came up repeatedly in conversations and was even a focus of Wednesday’s Full Moon in Libra. We often think of balance as a singular point, but in truth it is a fluid space. When we hold a single leg pose such as tree or eagle, our bodies are making constant small adjustments to keep us balanced. The same goes with the responsibilities of our daily lives. Finding our personal balance is an active choice we make over and over whether through our physical posture, the tasks we take on or let go of, or time we spend doing or being. Saying yes to the people and experiences that bring us joy and no the those that drain us is a great place to start. What do you want to say yes to today?

Please join me this weekend via Zoom for Saturday Morning Yoga as we pause, listen to our bodies, and care for ourselves with lovingkindness. Please join me for the next Full Moon Sound Bath on May 2.

There are still a few spaces available in this summer’s Mindfulness Retreat for Educators, June 13-17 at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Space is limited, so sign up soon!

REGISTRATION OPEN! I will be offering the Short Course in Mindful Self-Compassion this spring. SCMSC is a 6 week adaptation of the full MSC course where you will learn to use the skills of mindfulness to develop the inner resource of self-compassion and enhance your capacity for emotional wellbeing. Tuesdays May 5 - June 9, 6-7:30 PM via Zoom.
