Amidst all of the intense suffering in the world right now, we are reminded of why we do the work that we do. Why we teach the tools of yoga and mindfulness to over 3500 children each year, with the hope that the impact will spread to so many more children, and that these children will become conscious adults who lead with empathy and compassion. Change for the future starts with our children, and the seed for that change starts with you


"Peace in oneself, peace in the world" Thich Nhat Hanh

Romance the f**k out of your life.⠀
⠀
Notice what situations or relationships make you feel your best.⠀
⠀
Treat your mornings like the blessing they are. Create a ritual and salute each day in awe of all that you do & are. Each morning saying thank you for being alive and well another day, for your loved ones being alive and well another day.⠀
⠀
Move your body in ways that feels good. Take time to embody all that you are . Dress in ways that makes you feel your best. Sip your coffee slowly. Sit down at every meal ready to savour and enjoy each bite. Express yourself & your ideas. Make art. Dance. Watch the sunsets . Climb the mountains . Tell your people how much you love & appreciate them. ⠀
⠀
Do not forget the times many of these things were not a possibility for you. May you be in awe of all the beauty in your life.⠀
⠀
Take time to romance your life because when you really show up for yourself… you fall yourself to. ⠀
