Welcome to one of THOSE weeks.
You know, the ones where you burn the (vegan, gluten free) toast, you miss phone calls, you forget the uber important coffee date, you realize your pants are on inside out half way through a class, and you miss all the lights, signals, and turns, which adds minimum 15 minutes to everything you do.
Feeling it?
If not, LUCKY! We salute you.
If you are, don’t worry – you absolutely are not riding the struggle bus alone. Not hardly. We’ve got the window seat right behind you so please, look over your shoulder and give a girl some love!
Life isn’t perfect. It never was and it never will be. It’s practice.
And we are truly gifted because we have THE practice – yoga – to help us find calm in the chaos, safety in the storm, hope in the heart, and peace in the pickles (we don’t mean the food pickles, we mean the “I’m in a pickle” moments, as described by our grandmas circa 1945).
Deep thought done.
Now onto this weeks amazing events and experiences, which MUST include (drumroll PLEASE):
