Spring has well and truly sprung! The snowdrops have been and gone, the daffodils are in their full beauty at the moment. The warmer days have begun and the longer days are here.
The transition from Winter to Spring can be a difficult one. We can often feel heavy and sluggish, like a cranky bear coming out of hibernation. We need to shed our winter coat. Spring is a time to reap the benefits of the seeds sown over winter, a time to emerge feeling transformed and reenergised.
Revel in the magic of Spring. All you have to do is look around to be inspired at this time of year. Renewal and transformation are literally bursting from the ground. The natural world is going through a rebirth, so be creative and forge a connection to this awesome process.
Connecting to nature can go beyond the edges of your yoga mat. Why not head outdoors to a place of beauty and observe a period of silence. Take the time to slow down to examine the buds and shoots poking out. Watch them over several days and see them bloom, discover a deeper appreciation for this fresh, new season. Anything that gives you time and space to appreciate the beautiful transformation that's happening around you will fill you with inspiration, energy, and light.
After popular demand here is the quote I read in class last week “Yoga is simply not about exercise, about the physical relief of physical ailments, it is about the attainment of a deep peace, an inner calm that stems from achieving a harmony between your mind and your body, between yourself and the world around you. The ideal is to be harmoniously balanced centred, happy calm and freely creative.” ~ anonymous
