Salutations!       

     If you were in Seattle this past week, did you notice how quickly the sun - and then lack of sun - shifted your mood, your energy, your attitude?
 
Change is constant.... and faster. 

     Everyone is talking change.  Politicians are all about change, media & business demands it, even relationships now require more flexibility.
 
     Though change is indeed constant, it seems to me that there is a new quality of speed.  And even with necessary change, the speed mixed with the stress of the unknown brings a new sort of edge.
 
"What are you pretending not to know?"                   ~~ Scott Peck
 
     Does quick change keep you on edge, leaving you with a sense of any underlying fear, anxiety, paralysis, isolation, fatigue, or excitement? 
 
"Awareness results in change."                                      ~~ Fritz Perls
 
     Let these edges be the catalyst to Right Choice during this time of rapid change.  When I allow time for my daily yoga practice, I bring attention to these edges to stay centered, passionate and hopeful - no matter what is going on around me.
 
Slow-down this Summer...
      Often our yoga practice gets pushed to the side when the weather turns warm.  Perhaps a bit of CHANGE is needed to reenergize your life. 
 
     Try a class outside, a new yoga book, a retreat, or learn meditation in order to bring a bit more awareness to your own outdoor activity.  
  
     Here's a quick view of  just some of the special Summer-time yoga to help you slow-down &
let the unknown become known.

"Last weekend I had an opportunity to take my mentor's yoga class in Seattle. ...he kept telling us, "Please prepare for the long stretch which is coming". I thought he was joking so did everyone in the room and we giggled every time he said that. One hour had passed since the class started and there was no one giggling any more."  READ MORE...
