Spring Awakening

DHARMA TALK - MARCH 20, 2018 VERONA YOGA STUDIO

So, even if it does not feel like it, today is the first day of spring.  To me,  spring means  transformation, rebirth, awakening, renewal, change.  We may not feel it on the outside but I believe that within each and every one of us, there are changes happening on this day.  If not physical, maybe mental, emotional, spiritual. 

Last winter, I asked my students to plant seeds of their goals and nourish, grow them during these winter months where the nights are longer, and the days are shorter.  Maybe today, there has been some growth and change to what you have started, even if just a little bit.

So for the next hour, I invite you to notice and observe growth or change in your practice.  See if you feel a difference getting into poses that were new to you long ago.  Appreciate and  accept it.  And if today is your first class, there is no better time that today to start your yoga journey.  Awaken your body, your senses, your mind to what the spring season brings to your practice and to your daily life.
