How are you doing during this time of staying at home? Are you enjoying the solitude? Or are you feeling constrained and stressed? Have you noticed any particular triggers?

Today I ventured out to the grocery store and I realized grocery shopping is my new stress trigger, which seems really strange to me because I normally really enjoy my trips to HEB. But now, seeing the empty shelves reminds me that we're in tough times. And even if I know on a conscious level that we're not having a grocery supply issue, the empty shelves create a mild subconscious panic.

Regular yoga practice is a great self-care tool during times of stress. The physical yoga practice (asana) is one option, and dedicated breathing practice (pranayama) is an even more powerful stress-buster.

Next week we'll be offering an online series called Breathing for Stress Management, where I'll lead you through a variety of breathing techniques designed to calm your mind. We'll meet via the online platform Zoom, from Monday, March 30 - Friday, April 3, from 8:00 - 8:30 a.m. Recordings will be made available, in case you're not able to attend at this time.

We designed this series because we know calm is much needed in the world today, and as yoga teachers, we want to share our tools and be of service. We're pricing this workshop at a reduced price of $19 so that it will be accessible to as many people as possible, and at the same time to help us keep our small business IN business.
