Namaste! A totally splendid good day to your fine self.
And how are your aches and pains today then? What do you mean ‘Don’t ask?’ Of
course I am asking. That is because I care about your good self and your good
self’s good health. But first, fill your coffee mug and hoist a light virtual treat
onto your plate. Now, on to the day’s delightfully body-enlightening
activity...
Did you know that September is National Yoga Month? Well,
it is in the USA anyway. Unlike National Taco Day, this is an official holiday
with lots of cool events happening in celebration (nothing against tacos, as
they also deserve celebration).
What sets National Yoga Month apart from National Taco
Day, is that the Department of Health and Human Services endorses Yoga Month,
and the non-profit organization, Yoga Health Foundation, has all sorts of yoga
events planned to help promote yoga for better physical and mental health.
National Yoga Month is a great excuse to mix up your yoga
routine a bit. Doing the same practice in the same space every day can get a
bit monotonous, but making even a simple change can refresh your yoga routine.
Change the venue or try a different style of yoga this month. Do you usually do
yoga at home? Take a class at a studio or practice outdoors. Is vinyasa your
yoga style of choice? Give kundalini yoga a try. Me? I’m into the kowchpot-ayto
style.
Adults aren’t the only ones who can celebrate National
Yoga Month. Your kids might like getting in on the yoga action! Find a
parent-child yoga class, or try a kid-friendly yoga video. Even toddlers can do
a little bit of yoga. My two-year-old son loves practicing at home with the
Cosmic Kids yoga videos. They’re free on YouTube!
Even your dog might enjoy a little yoga. Maybe that’s
what she’s been trying to tell you when it interrupts your home practice to
lick your face! Dog yoga might sound a little bit wackadoo, but “doga” is a
thing. And it’s a fun, bonding activity that you and your dog can do together.
Dogs, like humans, can get a lot out of yoga. Don’t bother trying to get your
cat to try it. As far as cats are concerned, it is an activity reserved for
humans and those smelly dogthings that pee all over the place.
Yoga Health Foundation also has a database of other Yoga
Month events that you can search by city or zip code in the US. Not all of
these events are free, but there are some really cool things coming up this
month in the world of yoga that are worth your time and health! But search for ‘free
yoga exercises’ on the Net. You are bound to find some and...maybe even a place
nearby where you can practice your moves, eh!
Don’t forget the A535 or other pain-relieving liniment!
See ya after your yoga session, eh!
