Yoga, Health, and Wellness Articles + Recipes

We all have a limited amount of room in our lives. Not necessarily the kind measured in square feet, but the space we have for our thoughts, emotions, attention, and energy. And somehow, the things that drain us have a remarkable talent for taking up the most space. One frustrating conversation can replay in our minds for hours. A small mistake can overshadow ten things we did well. An unfinished task can follow us around all evening, even when there's absolutely nothing we can do about it until tomorrow. Meanwhile, the good stuff often gets a quick acknowledgment before we move on. A kind word. A small accomplishment. A moment of laughter. The simple pleasure of feeling comfortable in our own bodies. What if we gave those things a little more room? That's the idea behind this week's theme. Not pretending everything is wonderful or trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling, but learning to be a little more intentional about what we carry, what we release, and what we choose to nurture. And as it turns out, your yoga mat is a pretty good place to practice.
