One of the things I'm most thankful for in owning/running the yoga studio for close to 14 years are the people whom I've met and had the chance to learn from. I often say that our yoga mats act like a mirror reflecting back to us our challenges, our triumphs, our growth, but the personal relationships we build amidst and around those yoga mats do too!

There is definitely something special about friendships forged in a yoga setting. I credit many of those relationships for teaching me to be more open and honest in all my interactions. I hope you've had the opportunity to glimpse and experience this too.

As we prepare to welcome Chrissy Carter back to BYS Yoga this weekend for her yearly visit from NYC, I am reminded of the years of friendship and mutual respect that we have cultivated. I look forward to not only reconnecting and attending her workshops, but the opportunity the reunion will provide to reflect on myself and how I've grown since our last visit. Please plan to join us (there are still spots available) if you wish to reconnect with, or be introduced to, her too!

And, stay tuned... I'm traveling to France in 2 weeks with my childhood best friend (whom I haven't spent much time with in over 20 years) where I'll really dive into this concept... I know that a bounty of reflections will surely exist in our trip along the Rhone!

So, what and who inspires you to continue reflecting on your growth?

Namaste,

Kristi
