Yoga has a great way of adapting to what it is most needed in our lives at a certain time.
Every stage of life brings about challenges and a yoga practice can help us with those testing times. Generalizations don't always apply, but in my experience, yoga for the younger generation is often more about the physicality of the practice, a place to create energy and challenge the body. Midlife can bring some serious life demands on finding the balance in our family - raising children, taking care of aging parents, and our demanding work schedules. A yoga practice here often brings a respite to our busy lifestyle. As the aging process continues, our yoga keeps us steady on our feet, helps us gracefully process the changes that can come with age and offers a place of non-judgement and steadiness in mind and body.
So whether the balance we seek is physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, at any age, we find that our practice in yoga can offer solutions, or coping skills. If you are currently practicing you can attest to this and more.
In this month of May let us celebrate and share the progress we’ve made in building a more sustainable yoga practice. Bodhi Tree offers you to share your practice with a friend for free, and as May’s weather permits let us also share in the sunshine as we bring some classes outdoors!
I hope you enjoy this newsletter from Bodhi Tree.
I always love hearing from our community. Reach out anytime with your requests, questions or comments.
And I did receive many comments from yogis who walked more during this month’s challenge, noting a difference in body weight and stamina
