Happy Father’s Day Weekend! I hope you spend some time this weekend honoring the energy of the father.
Yoga is a movement towards union – union of the breath and body, union of the sun and moon, and union of our masculine and feminine selves.
In our practice, we find this union by exploring opposites. For example, in a warrior pose, we press our feet actively into the floor as we extend the crown of our head up and way from our solid foundation.
In our Alternate Nostril Breathing, we breathe equally into the left and right energy channels of the body, seeking to balance the sun with the moon energy.
I hope that this weekend, you can find a way to honor the masculine, solar, heating energy you have within. This is the energy of action, the energy which takes ideas and imaginings and makes them manifest.
To embrace this energy, find something in your life that has been just a glimmer of an idea. Find a way to bring this idea into reality by making a list of easy, actionable steps, and watch your life become what you envision.
This weekend, I am honoring the masculine energy within, and the fathers among us.
Thank you for your practice!
