A thought as we find ourselves at the last day of the year…

Every ending signals a new beginning. Often we see the New Year as a fresh start, a way to reinvent ourselves or set big goals. Today as we reflect, we’d love to remind you of one of the five Yamas described in Patanjali’s eight limbs of Yoga; Aparigraha, meaning ‘non-possessiveness’ and ‘non-attachment’.

This important Yama teaches us to take only what serves us in the moment, and to let go when the time is right.

While goal setting is an important motivator for many, this process can also be a cause of anxiety or fear and take us outside of ourselves and away from this moment. So as we turn the page into 2023, we would love to invite you to pause and reflect. What serves you right now that you can appreciate and take with you into this new year? What can you leave behind?

We wish you peace, joy and much love. We look forward to sharing 2023 with you, and all that it will bring. With Gratitude,
The Yoga Effect

Before Covid I would sometimes teach classes in the local schools. This sweeties grandma sent me this photo taken during one of my classes a while back. This is why I teach yoga❤️

If you haven’t read any of Brene Brown’s work and this resonates with you…pick up one of her books. You won’t be disappointed. My personal favorite is “Braving the Wilderness”.

Wellness hack…
Keep your fish oil supplements in the freezer and take them completely frozen to avoid burping up the fishy taste. 🥴

Sometimes the solution is simple. Most of us are chronically dehydrated. If you are not drinking upwards of 3 liters of water a day, you are probably experiencing some of these symptoms among others. Drink 3 liters of water a day for a month...and document what happens! In fact, it takes a whole month to really get hydrated on a cellular level. What do you have to lose? Are you in? Let me know how you feel after!
P.S. you will p*e a lot at first until your body learns to absorb the water.

Throwback to an amazing experience in Sri Lanka a couple of years ago. I crave this kind of travel, where we are taken completely outside of life as we know it. “Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what's right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in.” -Andrew Zimmerman
