After some minor self-flagellation at not having accomplished all of my New Years’ intentions/resolutions/goal-setting visualization exercises/manifestation projects or whatever the heck you want to call them within the first week of 2009, I have since calmed down and am enjoying the tide of returning vacationers – and returning YOGIS – coming home to the fold.

We all enjoy this rising tide of energy as we collect ourselves and refocus. After a brief but varied survey of students and friends
Now, doesn't that look cool? Totally.
about how best to handle this transition, the consensus is: Get Out Of The House. As tempting as the stale Superstore shortbreads may be, as vile as the latest traditionally Vancouverian downpour may appear, go for a walk, go to yoga, go the gym, go volunteer, DO SOMETHING and ride the wave. You’ll feel better.
In fact, I have a suggestion of SOMETHING you can DO: My good friend Leanne [in the pic, also on the blogroll] has an arm-balancing workshop coming up on Sunday January 25 from 1:00 – 4:00. The raddest parts about Leanne are that she knows a boatload about yoga, and will teach you, AND she’ll be 100% real with you the whole time, so if you’d like to finesse your arm balances or just get started, even: check it out. 2009 could be Year of the Arm Balance!
