MyYogaJoy Midweek Mantra: “getting back to basics strengthens my foundation” 👍☮️😌
Yoga Off the Mat: feeling puzzled lately? You can find greater clarity in a few simple steps! 😊 1) Maybe you need to get outdoors and move a little to shake off some static energy. Then you can slow down your breath to slow down your body and mind. 2) Just say “NO”—this may mean that you don’t volunteer for every fundraising activity under the sun, or it may mean enlisting help if you’re feeling overwhelmed at work or home. 3) Step into your Warrior mode: confident, grounded, smiling and victorious! You’ve got this👍😁
