Month: October 2024

Students arrived late and distressed. I had some stress in my morning as I attempted to check in for my flight. In the aftermath of the recent computer hack at our airport, systems were still not interfacing.

De-stressing with yoga, a walk in nature after getting checked in worked for me. As I led class, I emphasized exhaling to release the tension. Distress comes when we identify with the stress instead of with our limitless Higher Self as I learned and taught from the Yoga Sutras.

How do you release stress? Can you de-stress without distress? Ki to Happiness identifies with the limitless Higher Self.

I taught my 10 AM class as one student said goodbye before moving out East and a brand new student said hello. Hatha Yoga Center has had thousands come and go since 1977. It’s like a river, always changing with the flowing of attendees joining and departing, and also always the same, with the banks of consistent scheduled classes.

They say you never step into the same river twice. Similarly, no two classes are identical. And yet with the ebbs and flows of community membership, the predictably of safe and sane practices define the nearly 50 years of HYC.

How good are you at goodbyes? How about hellos? Ki to Happiness witnesses the constant changes from the consistence of Hatha Yoga practice.
