celebrate!

This week I am using a Christina Sell sequence from June that focused on the celebration aspect of our practice. It's interesting how we can sometimes forget how great it is that we can practice. A lot of times we come to our mat with our problems, our worries or even our hopes but how often do we come in celebration? I know I originally came to yoga in hopes of losing weight and getting in better shape. Or so I thought - my subconsciousness came for other reasons. Turns out we all end up coming for the same reason ultimately - to know and understand ourselves better.

But in that quest of self-knowledge, we can bury ourselves in questions, deep thought, pushing ourselves, then love. All of this is great work and not to be avoided. But somewhere in there is some lightness, a reason to celebrate! After we have done the diligent work of rediscovering our true nature, we should celebrate! Celebrate expressing your true nature both on and off the mat!

I've felt a lot more celebratory this summer and I hope that you all take some time to celebrate as well!
