FREE ONLINE CLASS If anyone is awake and feeling a little down, I’ve posted a 20 minute YogaMini on YouTube to help relax and give yourself a bit of self-care. Autumn can be a confusing time for the spirit. The warmth and joy of summer gives way to the damp, cool and windy fall, driving many of us to withdraw and settle into hibernation. There are a LOT of people in the same boat and I want to make sure we’re all taking some time out to recharge to help recent...er and reaffirm you are right where you are meant to be, even if you aren't quite sure what the next steps are. I will be posting YogaMinis a couple of times per week, so make sure to SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT if you have any questions. (Also, this is the first time I’ve taught on camera with no one else there, so please be kind lol). Yours In Wellness, - L - Lindsay Hayes RYT-200 for Bhavatu Yoga 2020.

Hello Friends! I came across this infographic on a friend’s page and thought I’d pass it along. It’s easy to dismiss stress during our day-to-day lives, but it is very different to read and identify with the symptoms. I am hoping you are all thriving during these trying times, but if not, there are strategies and supports in place to help you navigate this stress minefield. ... Please reach out if you are at all concerned about your physical or mental health and we can figure out a plan Support : Bhavatu - L

Whatever it is that you need: breathe it out lift it up give it life... Give your hopes a chance to walk around outside of your body. Speak them - from the quiet comfort of your room, or from a rooftop - speak them. Through all the noise we hear in a day, let these hopes be the one true thing to meet our ears. They deserve life Dreams : Bhavatu!! - L #yoga #youreworthit #mantrawork #breathe #bhavatuyoga

Quiet moments of the morning From the moment I wake, until I rest my head again at night, there is work to be done. This work looks different each day, but always includes getting followed around by one of the 7000 animals in my house demanding cuddles It’s easy to see our days as one long string of things to do. No gaps, no space to dream or wander outside of our carefully-curated lives. We start to sweat at the thought of adding even ONE MORE THING to our daily li...st, especially if the results cannot be seen immediately or the outcome is not guaranteed. Yoga takes things OFF the list. Yoga provides perspective. Yoga clears the path within that allows for the adventure of a curious mind. And that string of have to’s turns into a day of want to’s. Contentment, Bhavatu! - L

Listening to the inner teacher today Feeling the lessons around me Connecting the moments as they come... There are QUITE a few Adi Mantra recordings out there. I invite you to find one that resonates with you and sit with it for 5 minutes. View your world through the eyes of a teacher, creating your own plan for the day, interpreting what you see as that of your own manifestation - not simply happenstance
