We all have unique gifts and talents as expressed through our lifelong accomplishments. These gifts are meant to bring joy, satisfaction, and meaning into our lives and the lives of those around us. It's not about what you do in life but how you do it. It's about how much passion, love, and care you put into what you do that truly matters. Consider this as we begin a gentle yoga practice today.

How many of us have felt tightness in our neck and shoulders because we spend too much time looking down at devices or slumped over at a desk? In time, that forward action of our head and shoulders can lead to all sorts of discomfort and even injury if we do not address it. Good alignment is good therapy for injury, and when we feel more freedom in our body we are able to enjoy our life a bit more.

We all get into habits, good and bad ones, like a dog that runs back and forth alongside a fence creating a groove. In Sanskrit, these patterns are called samaskaras, and they become more entrenched the longer we continue them.

The profound truth is that you cannot be human on your own. You are human through the relationships and connections that you make. This is the African concept of Ubuntu, whereby a person is a person through other people. We are made for interdependence. I need you in order to be me. Our class today will remember this deeper truth by moving from the periphery into the core using twists and backbends.

Our psyches were not developed to respond to everything that is coming at us right now. Being so connected these days to the world's news is overloading our emotional circuit breakers. Take a few deep breaths and ask yourself: What is mine to do and not to do today? What is mine to say and not to say today? What is mine to care about and not to care about today? Remember that someone will always care.
