A cozy autumn savasana on Zoom.
The calming energy shared by a group gathering on Zoom is felt by the cat who didn't want savasana to end 🥰

FALL EQUINOX
September 22 is the fall equinox where hours of daylight and darkness will be equally balanced. The Sun also enters the zodiac sign of Libra, whose symbol of the scale represents balance and equilibrium. This week, let's practice balance of our physical, emotional and mental realms, noticing what may need adjustment and realignment so that balance on the mat can overflow into balance off the mat and into our lives. ✨💖✨

HAPPY SEPTEMBER!
I hope you have enjoyed a nice summer 🌞
My hip replacement surgery Aug 14 went well. Thank you for the many good wishes 🙏💕. I am nicely rebuilding mobility, but not yet ready to fully resume yoga. During my recovery I have had a chance to join several online webinars and workshops. One I would like to share with you is SOMA Breath. I think it may give you something good to explore until we can resume yoga together again.
You have often heard me say that if I could teach one thing only, it would be breathwork. However, I know it is a challenge to do well. Some of you love it and appreciate the benefits, others of you would rather skip it completely. SOMA Breath has developed an App (a free version, and a reasonably-priced version) that nicely modernizes traditional Yogic breathwork with great accompanying sound, and lots of options that I believe will let you find a pace and style that will work for you. Watch this replay with Niraj Naik, the founder of SOMA Breath.

It is a little long, so if you want to skip the preamble, go to Minute 13:00.
• Around Minute 35:00, he introduces “Box Breath” which we have done a fair amount in classes this year.
• Around Minute 45:00, he touches on breathing for asthma
Niraj teaches and guides better than I possibly could (unless/until I get better trained ). It is definitely worth giving a serious try! Watch the YouTube, then download the SOMA Breath App. Here is the link on the Apple App Store:

Powerful Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon in Pisces.
I didn’t see the lunar eclipse last night, but was awakened early enough to enjoy the moon setting over the western Toronto skyline. It gently faded as it set, giving way to the sun rising. The contrast of the full moon’s gentle setting compared to the sun’s vibrant rising and setting struck me, reminding me of the complimentary polarity of the yin/yang, feminine/masculine, cool/hot energies that we balance with our yoga and throughout our living.
As a Pisces, the energy of this full moon is especially significant.
From Yoga Journal:
“Pisces is the master of surrender. Ruled by Neptune, it understands that life’s greatest gifts often arrive when we stop forcing and start trusting. It teaches us to flow like water, to ease our grip, to remember that we are all connected drops in one infinite ocean.
At its highest, Pisces is intuition you no longer second-guess. It is compassion that pours through you without effort, forgiveness that happens on its own rather than being forced, and creativity that moves through you like a current finding its way to the sea. It is the quiet knowing that you are supported by something greater than yourself, even when you cannot yet see the evidence. Pisces is the part of you that can feel the unseen, that senses the meaning underneath the moment, that trusts your dreams before there is any proof.”

Dead Butt Syndrome (DBS)?!
(more politely aka “Gluteal Amnesia”)
Yea, I have been told I have it, and most likely anyone else who sat at their jobs for years. Did it contribute to my tight hips, and eventual OA? Possibly.
Like the FHP (Forward Head Posture) we explored earlier this year, there is no quick fix, but awareness of it is Step #1. Then very gradual and safe work on it. It didn’t develop overnight, and it won’t correct overnight.

Last night’s full moon was a golden ball setting over the skyline. See what Yasmin Boland, Moonology author has to say about this full moon.
