Happy New Year! While I'm both savoring the deep cocooning of Winter, I'm also feeling the excitement of the new year to come. I typically take this time to nourish my internal practice, recommitting to holding intention in my awareness as I move through my days. Today Yoga Momma celebrates more births, a miraculous triumph of health for a Yoga Mom's family, and our own continued health during this dramatically changing season. At this very moment my home office is brightened by the intense sun in a pristine blue sky. This, after the drama of late fall filled with sleet, rain, thunder and lightening. Welcome to Winter, the place "in between" - it brings to mind the notion of balance and the sutra "stira sukam asanam" which speaks of embracing the duality of effort/intensity and grace/letting go.  Hold yourself in the center as we begin the long journey toward the light, and allow Yoga Momma to support you toward this end.
