Yoga Off the Mat: we’re all familiar with the saying “you are what you eat.” And dieting fads come and go like fashion trends: no fat diets are as passé as 80’s big hair and makeup.

Yoga Off the Mat: recently I had the opportunity to participate in a true tea party🫖 —what an opportunity to experience the benefits of practicing presence!Sharing the table with 5 friends, we were so engaged with each other, with the aromas/tastes (smoky, sweet)/sights (red, orange and blue teas!)/sensations (textures) that we barely noticed the sounds and busy-ness of others around us. 😌 Practicing presence, no matter where you are or what you’re doing, can make life richer and more joyful.🤗 How are you being present today?🤔 ...
