Whether you’re feeling inundated or pulled from all directions, Yoga practices can support you through the movement of prana. To draw attention inward without shutting the world out, we’ll focus first on prana vayu, the pathway for energy and awareness to draw inward, then use apana vayu to root down into support and connection.

Ritual allows us to step across the threshold of morning with intention. It can support us, bodymind and spirit, to show up more fully for ourselves and our communities in what is a pretty wild time to be alive. But what makes ritual from a routine? What separates practice from habit?

Ahimsa, living with reverence and love for all, calls us to see the divinity in everything. Beyond ‘non-harming’, living in alignment with Ahimsa requires mutual care.

Places I’ve been on retreat are places of which I have full-body memory, a deeply felt sense of everything it was to be in that place, in that time.  The morning chorus of birds, the weight in the air at nightfall, ancient stone under my fingertips, the way light moved through the trees … all of it.  

The world has changed, our team has changed, and things are going to look a little different.  But isn’t that partly why we travel?  We want to know what it's like to be someplace else, to feel a new rhythm beneath our feet.  We want to see the world and ourselves in a new light - and also to be reminded of what stays the same.
