Yoga, lockdown, and connection
"He'll be here any moment now. Not as if it's a scheduled class", I think to myself. Sure enough, within 60 seconds of that thought, the flashing signal for a guest wanting to enter the room appears, on the lower-left area of the screen. My dear friend, Dale, is linking into the Zoom room that I set up for our impromptu yoga session. I accept the request and let him into the room. He is in his naked glory, which I appreciate, this being a clothing-optional zone and him a naturist at heart. I admire anyone who can be in the comfort of just...being, in any environment. I, myself, am clothed for the respect of the environment in which I am in, my friend and roommate in the next room, me in the living room/common area of the apartment. Nonetheless, Dale and I are both comfortable, in our respective spaces, him being in Austin, Texas and me being in Brooklyn, New York, with the time difference being only an hour.

Ahimsa
Earlier this year I found myself in a great conflict, in a type of depression that I did not think I would be able to get out of. This has been a very stressful year for so many and most of us are just trying to get by and figure out a way to make the best of it. What pulled me out of my funk and brought me back to accepting this reality and shifting the focus inward, was my studies on The Eight Limbs of Yoga. These steps can be interpreted in various ways to fit your life, to give you a goal and something to look forward to! The Eight Limbs of Yoga are essential guidelines or commandments that push us towards self enlightenment. The first limb in this path is called the Yamas; the relationship with ourselves and others and how we see or interpret them. We begin this journey with testing our boundaries and ability to shift towards a more positive and purposeful life. The Yamas are composed of five smaller limbs, the first one being Ahimsa. The act of Ahimsa is taking the path of nonviolence towards others, the self and in our daily activities!

SUN SALUTATION
I open my front door on this chilly morning. I was not expecting chilly. Usually, it is just flat out humid. I am quite suspicious of this cooler weather. It is the middle of September in the middle of Georgia and cool, calm weather during this month is not to be trusted. I am sure there is an awful storm or two waiting to hit, and there are still a few more scorching, sun-burning days left in the summer season. Summer has a way of acting as if it is angry that it must acquiesce to Fall.

Yoga Creates A Balance Between The Body, Mind And Soul.
Yoga is an ancient science that aims to create a balance between the body, mind and soul, thereby curing physical mental and spiritual disorders that are caused by this imbalance. In common language, yoga means union; its a union of the individual consciousness with the super-consciousness. To be exact, yoga aims at reminding the individual of this union that already exists and has merely been forgotten. To put it simply, yoga is experiencing and knowing what already exists, not inventing anything new.

This Is Why I Practice Yoga
If you work in an office, there’s probably one thing you have too much of. Stress. And another thing you don’t do enough of might just be exercise. My interest in yoga came to fruition because it seemed to promise a partial solution to both of those problems. Here’s why I pay for a yoga membership; it’s expensive, but I love it. I was a chronic gym-hated, but yoga has helped me get routine exercise.
