With the return of the warmer weather and blooms, our teachers and video team are gearing up for filming lots of outdoor classes! Something about practicing outdoors just seems to bring the practice to a different place. Maybe it's the fresh air, or maybe the gentle give of the ground beneath the mat... whatever it is, we are READY to get back outside. How about you?
The vitality of spring is an intoxicating inspiration. What new seeds are you planting? What bright blooms are you cultivating? Take a deep breath of the fresh air and know that good things are growing!

What does September signify for you? A return to school and strict daily routine? Perhaps September is when you harvest the garden to share your bounty with friends and family...
