Our air quality suffered a bit from the smoke drifting in from nearby during this fire season. Morning dawned pink, which looked lovely yet warned us of the need to adapt activities toward greater safety. I kept the windows closed as I turned on the fans and air purifiers for morning classes.
All the students appreciated the efforts so they could practice yoga in a safe environment. Pranayama could be used to cleanse lungs as requested by one student. The pink sky shifted toward pale blue as the air cleared a bit while we practiced in the comforts of the purified air.
When you can’t change the weather, can you change your activities? What is necessary for you to care for yourself whatever the dawn brings? Ki to Happiness is flexible, not only in yoga postures.
