Happy November!

It's a month of Thanksgiving, a month to find gratitude for the people you love, for the things in your life that make you happy - big and small - and most importantly find gratitude for YOU!! Find gratitude and thanks for WHO YOU ARE: YOUR TRUTH, YOUR BODY, YOUR MIND, YOUR SPIRIT! Yoga is for everyone. No matter what your current skill level, remember that every yogi had to start somewhere. You will always be at the right point on your own personal journey. This month, banish your need for perfection, and work to enjoy the effortless feeling of sitting in a pose and experiencing your breath.

Certain poses evoke certain feelings. Some make us feel powerful, like Warrior II. Others bring us comfort, such as Child's Pose. Inversions can energize, and hip poses clarify. So, in light of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, I'm wondering which poses give you an "attitude of gratitude?"  What are your favorite poses that help you find an expression of thanks? This month we explore heart opening postures from simple back bends to bigger openers like camel, bound bridge and wheel.  Heart-opening poses are like saying, "I'm here and I'm wide open to so many blessings."  We will include forward folds - whether it's a literal forward fold, a one legged-pigeon or child's pose, these poses give you an opportunity to literally bow and express gratitude. 

And as always, we end our practice with Namaste.  Taking a moment to bow to your true self and bow to everyone else at the end of practice gives you a chance to send wishes of thanks, light and love. 

PHOTO CHALLENGE!!! 
Take a picture of yourself in your favorite POSE OF GRATITUDE and TELL US WHY THE POSE BRINGS YOU THIS FEELING and email it to  Kristín to get featured on our Facebook page and be entered to win a FREE CLASS!

Come join us this month at Summerville Yoga and Wellness.  Hook in to your feeling of bliss and GRATITUDE for yourself and allow that feeling to spill over into your every day.  As the holidays approach there are a lot of things that may cause stress -- stores get more crowded, traffic gets heavier, finances feel strained, but a PEACEFUL and CALM MINDSET can make anything manageable.  Yoga helps create that feeling from within.  It's born within you - sometimes you just need to take time to remember how to feel your positive blissful best.
