See you, in September…
Ahhhhh, it’s here!
We are honestly VERY excited to welcome in this new season, especially as yogis, because fall is the season of transformation. We can see this all around us in nature: the leaves are falling, the air is changing and we are harvesting an entirely new crop of fruits and vegetables.
How will you adapt for the season? We will love to hear your thoughts, plans, wishes, and dreams – on and off the mat. Send them to us and let us publish YOU! We are always looking for new writers.
Oh and OF COURSE we suggest celebrating fall at the Global Mala on September 23rd and the VibeWell Yoga Festival on October 14, 2018.
