Finding BALANCE in a Rapidly Changing World

On the journey to seek connection, Yoga offers us a chance to look both inward and expand outward all in one breath, from one shape to the next breath. Each focused breath is returning us to the present moment where all of life is happening. Yoga offers us the tools to be fully present for ourselves and one another.

Through our practice, we explore ways of integrating the breath into daily living and create a connection with the mind, body and spirit. It is said that the answers lie within – but in order to listen, we must first become still and quiet enough to hear them. Taking time out each day to dis-connect is vital to our health and well-being, especially in the information overload we live in.

"To quiet the mind, all things are possible."
~MEISTER ECKHART

You may be thinking, "I don't have the time," or "I can't sit still."

Well, my friends, you can't afford not to take time out for yourself.

6 TIPS FOR LIVING A BALANCED LIFE

1. Begin each day in quiet. Give yourself the gift of prayer, meditation and gratitude.
2. Choose "you" every morning and put yourself at the top of the list. If you do not come from a place of fullness, you cannot serve others effectively.
3. Create a list of what's important, focus on one task at a time and give yourself plenty of time between each activity, allowing space for spontaneity.
4. Eliminate all distractions if they are not on your priority list.
5. Make sure to nourish your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body. Self-care practice through proper diet, exercise and breath work to feed the mind and spirit with positive thoughts because as we think, so we feel.
6. Be grateful for the moment.

Each day a new beginning, a fresh start. It's your book, how do you choose to open it?
