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.  Nice full, sweaty classes with bright shiny eyes and smiles; what could be better?

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!  For details, see Live Yoga.
