8 Limbs I   Giving Thanks

Gratitude is getting lots of attention recently,--even scientists are touting the benefits. They're finding that people who practice gratitude consistently report:
  • Stronger immune systems
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Increased levels of positive emotions, such as joy, optimism, and happiness
  • Feeling less lonely and isolated
As we head into the final week of the 2016 election cycle, and the month of Thanksgiving, a national holiday based on giving thanks, I wonder if we could all consider what about our country and our political system we are grateful for. 

8 Limbs is grateful for the work Street Yoga does to bring yoga to incarcerated people. All proceeds from our Thanksgiving Day Benefit classes will go to Street Yoga this year. Have ideas for our 2017 Community Giving Partner? Email us! 

And I have a TON of gratitude for the staff at 8 Limbs. It's been a big year for us--new website, 20th Anniversary Celebration ( click here for photos by Roniq Bartanen, here for Photo Booth shots and here for the speeches given), and an increased commitment to social justice and inclusivity in yoga, which has touched every level of our organization. Any one of these would have been a big undertaking, but our staff has taken on all of this in addition to our extensive programming. They are AWESOME, and we are looking for a few more t o join us. See the end of this newsletter for an update on some manager changes and three open positions at 8 Limbs.
