The return of Yoga with Mary!

Beginning Tuesday, May 17, I will again be teaching yoga for, and practicing yoga with, my colleagues and friends in Carlsbad Unified School District! After a hiatus of almost two years as I adjusted to a new role within the district, involving a varied schedule and unfamiliar responsibilities as well as moving me away from a school site, the unknowns have become known and I can make some personal commitments. During that time, I was also figuring out the cause of my chronic wrist pain and allowing the injury to heal as thoroughly as it ever will. So I am ready now to trust my schedule, my energy level, and my body enough to commit to teaching yoga on a regular basis! I have missed it. I resumed my own practice some time ago, as soon as I was sure my wrist was sufficiently healed, and now I cannot wait to share the gifts of yoga with others! It is amazing how welcoming yoga can be, no matter how often I step away from it or for how long. My physical self - strength, flexibility, how my yoga pants fit - may not bounce immediately back, but the language and philosophy of yoga are as forgiving as an old friend. And the wonderful thing about yoga is that, at its heart, its all about breathing. As long as I breathe and allow my breathe to guide my practice, I'm back on the mat! I hope you will join me!
