From a comfortable seated position let's start with a nice breath, inhaling and exhaling. Wait till you feel the breath moving slowly through your belly, ribs, let your shoulders melt as the spine aligns. Now imagine you could go sit at that picnic table. Feel what time of day is it? Season? Temperature? Listening, what do you hear? Invite loved ones to join you (past, present or future). Allow your imagination fill in all the blanks. The first day of a New Year is the perfect moment to explore a starting point like this with a wider lens and possibility.
Nurture this fleeting feeling and amazing things can happen. A practice like this could be as simple as taking 5 conscious breaths, a few cat/cows or child's pose each day. Learn what that makes you feel calm, connected and curious. It's different for everyone. Like yoga.
I'm happy to share that the Y-Stretch community is growing and I'm so excited by it's possibility. My hope is that our cozy studio has been a place for you to feel more open and released that allows your mind, body and spirit to wander in gentle ways. It's your yoga, in your body, with a kind heart and an open mind.

*Fun Fact: January 11th is often considered an auspicious day! In numerology as the "1/11 portal" for manifestation: the repeating '1's are seen as a powerful gateway for manifestation, new beginnings, and aligning with goals and dreams, representing spiritual awakening and positive change.
In Vedic astrology: It's listed as a good day for purchasing vehicles(!) in 2026 for prosperity and smooth journeys. It's a day to honor Lord Brahma, associated with knowledge, creation, and sharpening intellect with mantras recommended.
Perfect for Yoga or a Sound Healing!
