Next goal: Get to net zero waste.
.
.
In good news, @jetjaguar20 and I have managed to eliminate virtually all household food waste — no small thing for 6 of us under the roof. Our backyard compost is managing to generate some of its transformational heat even thru single-digit temps 🥶
.
.
One more win: Walking to work when it’s 9 degrees makes 30🌡 feel warm.

Have yet to eliminate all unnecessary new purchases. Taking aim 🎯

Specifically, those who refuse to be adjusted to inequity. ⚖️ Let’s keep building the better world we envision. Singing each other on. // More on this creative maladjustment speech at —> https://progressive.org/dispatches/martin-luther-kings-creative-maladjustment-resonates-today/

The more i absorb of MLK’s teachings, the more i value his pointings. May we take his words as guidance not merely on this singular day but every day. Putting action behind the impetus to applaud his vision.

Some highlights from tomorrow’s offerings. 1) Free on YouTube —> A Core Flow (of some intensity 💦). 2) On my member site 💘 we explore “Potential” — the potential for mobility built on a foundation of strength & safety.

✨I’m thankful every day to be able to do what I do and offer breath-led motion to you. It’s changed my life — my body, my mental state, my emotional well-being.
📚I was drawn to eastern philosophy as a child and was always exploring my own strength & flexibility. When I found yoga, it felt like home (as so many experience). I was in my late 20s when my practice started to become regular. I had been living in my head (& not truly feeling alive in my body) for years as a grad student and then as an adjunct professor of literature. The practice brought me back to myself in a powerful way and led to decision making that moved me closer to health instead of farther away from it. Truth is, I am still finding it (yoga, that is). And I hope I always will be. Have a great day, friends.

I want to personally invite you to join me on Zoom

I want to personally invite you to join me on Zoom this Friday 9:30-10:30am EST via @yogahouseny. The “House Blend” that I teach is an approachable, moderate- to intermediate-level, feel-good flowing class. It’s not an extremely tough class, though we do explore arm balances and deep shapes here and there. My main goal is to give you a thorough experience—mind/body/soul & head-to-toe. I want you to feel uplifted, strong and energized for your day — no matter how you felt when you stepped on to the mat. We’re a supportive, welcoming, and just really KIND bunch. Details @yogahouseny and on their site theyogahouseny.com. With love. ~Leigha
