Beyond the mat: creating a life practice

"True change is humble.
It comes in through my front door,
bowes at my feet,
and settles into my home,
as if it had always lived there."

So by now, many of you that took the time to make new year's resolutions have broken them. It's all good... I'm not judging. I'm just curious about why this happens to so many people (not excluding myself). Wikipedia tells me that "A New Year resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a personal goal, project, or the reforming of a habit. This lifestyle change is generally interpreted as advantageous." If we know this lifestyle change will be advantageous, why do we cop-out? My spidey-senses tell me that a lot of us are looking for instant change. And when it doesn't happen ASAP, we give up. What if Change was already happening, we just weren't aware? I have a proposition for everyone out there that wants to make a commitment and follow through. I am getting a group of 10 individuals committed to making a sustainable lifestyle change. The group will meet for 2.5 hours every week for 8 weeks. The container of these gatherings will be the Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Group Experience. My intention is to guide you through gentle yoga postures with the space to notice how you react or respond to your body and any other life stresses. By becoming aware of our relationship to stress we can gain life tools that will keep us physically and mentally fit. Why settle for a yoga practice that exists only on your mat. Take your practice beyond the mat, into the ups and downs of your daily life. Are you in? If you're not, that's cool too. Just be curious about why not?...
