School Yourself

Even if your academic days are long past, it's easy to recall the excitement of textbook shopping, making new friends, and meeting new teachers. A new school year means a fresh start, so why not tap into the excitement and apply it to your practice?

This week, expand your yogic paradigm: Try a style of yoga new to you, or take a workshop from someone other than your primary teacher. If you'd rather study at home, take a new 20-minute online course from vinyasa teacher Kathryn Budig. Finally, make sure you have all of the yoga school supplies you'll need.

Om Shanti,
Andrea Kowalski
