Happy Friday Mountain Yogis!
As the year draws to a close, thank you for being a reader of The Friday List and a supporter of Tadasana Mountain Yoga!
Friday Links
Last week, I shared my mixed feelings about the “New Year, New You” mindset. While I value the chance to reflect and realign, it often carries disempowering expectations of how we 'should' be. A few years ago, I shifted to choosing a word for the year—something to gently guide me throughout. Last year, my word was Santosha, a Sanskrit word that embodies contentment. This year, inspired by our trip to Japan, it’s “ikigari”. I’d love to hear your word for the year or your New Year practices—feel free to share in the comments or join us for the workshop on Sunday.
As mountain residents most of us know all of this already, but I did learn a couple of new things about staying warm while exercising in the cold.
Loved this and so grateful to have so many places throughout my life.
