A rising tide floats all boats
I biked past the Salzburg Castle this week. Technically it’s a fortress, but I’m a romantic American. Point being: it struck me that generations of caretakers have worked to build, repair, and preserve this structure. That’s longevity.
And my body? I’ve been given this body for a few decades. If I’m lucky, I’ll get to take care of it for another few decades. Short, really.
What are you doing today to take care of this wondrous body you’ve been given? How are you being kind with your mind? How are you holding space for the healing balm of movement, or silence?
If you want some support, why not join us on Monday for Letting the Breath Find You? It’s Pranayama taught in the most gentle way. Starts live tomorrow (with a recording).
I believe in your wellness. As Mama likes to say, a rising tide floats all boats.
Talk soon,
Lizzie
Upcoming ways to connect:
Pranayama is often taught as a way to restrict the breath, using complex counting methods to achieve increasingly long holds. This focus on control leads to hardening. And practicing this way misses the delicious truth that the breath is breathing you. Join our March workshop Letting the Breath Breathe You: Practicing Pranayama With Compassion to learn a softer approach.
Save the date for our next free live session for subscribers to this newsletter: Tuesday March 22nd at 10:30am Salzburg time. That’s 5:30a ET, 9:30a UK, 15:00 IST, and 20:30 in Sydney. As always, the recording goes out here later that week.
Do you want to practice more Restorative yoga, pranayama, and meditation? Join us for Silence is Everywhere: a three-day experiential Zoom workshop (with recording).
