This was a very odd and strange day. So many unusual things popped up. Including my work laptop that decided to have problems and I spent hours fixing it. Took a lot of patience and breathing.

I also had a staff call about a student and trying to discuss best ways to help her. Teachers and therapists often spend a lot of unpaid time trying to help and this was one of those long afternoons for many of us. We do this because of the commitment you make as a teacher and sometimes tough choices are made.

However a day like today I am going to practice what I preach and do some restorative yoga, long bath and get myself quiet tonight. There is a balance to helping others and you can't do so much that you become depleted. I find it helpful to talk to other therapists, find times to walk in nature, and be with things that are beautiful.

This week I have been working with many in private yoga therapy sessions and the focus has been less on physical injuries and much more on emotional pain. There are quite a number of resources and tools I look forward to applying to these private sessions and helping them to remove obstacles that are often in the way to feeling better. If you know of someone who would benefit maybe you offer them a gift card and encourage them to do the 45 minute online Intake. In this I discuss what yoga therapy is, go over conditions and previous treatment and what a yoga therapy session could look like going forward.

In the meantime I hope to see you this week. Monday nights are now at 7pm and the link is the same one for Thursday nights; just to make it easier on everyone. If you ever find a link on zoom that doesn't work, please go to my webpage in the calendar. You can't rely solely on past emails.

"Have a good day for no reason!"
