What better way to end than to go back to the beginning. So we do, with a little science and a simple breathing technique to help reset and bring the body back to balance. Which is good, because we need balance so things like tweets from the maniacal administration don't throw us too far off our game.
Until next time, keep breathing. And live to fight another day.

When things seem hopeless, when we don't know if we're doing enough, or even if what we are doing matters what else can we do but go back to the practice? Breathe and sit.

Transition and revolution both start inside. During transitions, like going from summer to fall, we change our food and lifestyle to accommodate the change. Ayurveda teaches us how to weather the transition smoothly so we can keep being the most efficient version of ourselves we can be.
