Happy Friday!
Looks like more rain in the forecast (and snow up high) but hopefully lots of sunshine on Sunday…yahoo! We are busy at the studio, with our first weekend of teacher training with a focus on sun salutations, balance and standing asanas. We hope to see you in one of our public classes and in the meantime here are some fun links for your perusal.
Friday Links
I enjoyed this write up about Surya Namaskar, that references this fascinating study. It is a good reminder and perhaps motivation to practice salutations each day, especially in the morning.
Speaking of morning exercise, I think this is so cool! I did the exercises this morning, and while I personally prefer sun salutations, I did enjoy them. It is amazing to me that as a culture, they incorporate this into their daily routine. And while we are on the topic, these tips of Japanese lifestyle are also inspiring. (We are traveling to Japan in January, so I think Google is highlighting Japan in my feed.) We are also traveling to Thailand (celebrating our 50th birthdays this year and Luna’s 10th) and I am looking forward to staying here.
Speaking of travel, have you ever traveled solo? I did in South America in my 20’s and loved it!
