We chatted last week about the benefits of creating a gratitude practice, so I thought this week would be a great time to dive into the How - To of it all. It's lovely to know something works, but terrible to not know how to use it for yourself right?
This time of year we've all got gratitude on the brain, and if you are attending my Give Thanks- Yoga and Gratitude workshop tonight you get to hear me wax poetic all the ways gratitude has changed my life and little ways you can incorporate this practice into your own. Of course the idea of giving thanks is a warm and fuzzy concept and many of us consider it a fun practice to go around the dinner table on Thanksgiving and share what we are thankful for. But did you know that cultivating an attitude of gratitude can actually change our bodies, minds, and lives? One of my favorite things is seeing how scientific studies and research can back up what yogis have known for centuries, When you focus on the good - the good gets better.
Are you ready for an experience you’ll never forget? Are you dreaming of a week of daily yoga, relaxing beaches, delicious food, and awe inspiring adventures? Then join me for 7 days of beachside bliss at the spectacular resort, Mar de Jadeon the Pacific Coast of Mexico. This week long gift to yourself will be the perfect combination of play and rest and of course yoga and meditation. You’ll wake up each morning to the sounds of the jungle and the smells of the sea and lay down each night with a full belly and clear heart.

In honor of completing our Yoga is for Lovers challenge, I thought I would create this nice little introduction to the Anahata, or Heart Chakra. Now believe me, there is more info out there on our chakral system them any of us will ever be able to absorb in this lifetime alone! So don't get overwhelmed. This post is meant to be an easy intro to our 4th energy center. A nice little appetizer of sorts, and when your ready you can dive into your own study and learn more!
