Beautiful practice everyone! Energy and presence, breath and movement all linked and harmonious. Try to eat one yoga meal a day, with special consideration to the following guidelines that my teacher gave to us:

Comments: (How did you enjoy your meal? What were you thinking and feeling while you ate? What was difficult? What are you learning about yourself?)

It was interesting to jot down my response to these questions and to look back at how my awareness and appreciation grew.

Remember to take those 15 minutes a day to focus on your breath and to connect with it.
