RESOLVE TO DO WHAT FEELS GOOD!

Welcome to 2015! I hope this year brings you much to feel good about. Only you know what feels good to you, so why not resolve to do what feels good?!

Yoga makes me feel good!  Many years ago, I fell off a horse that was standing perfectly still.  I reached down to tighten the girth and…plop!  Just like that, I landed in a heap on the ground.  That was the day I started practicing yoga. I began with the determination to find my center of balance, but continued because it feels so good!  

Yoga offers many benefits for riders. Flexibility, strength, ease of movement, focus, body awareness, centeredness, grounding, increased confidence, peace and harmony with one’s mind and body… these are just a few.  If we’re not in harmony with our own bodies, how can we travel in harmony with our horses'?

Just recently, while searching the internet for yoga videos, I came upon a website that I love:  Yoga With Adriene.

Adriene is ridiculously fun and positive… plus she offers several great yoga videos for free.  I've really enjoyed the ones I've tried. Each is about 20 minutes long. Just enough to get my day started off on a wonderful note.  

Today Adriene is starting “30 Days of Yoga” for FREE!  If you've never tried yoga, or if you're looking for a fun refreshment to your current practice, I encourage you clink on the link above to check it out.  Get your year off to a great start of doing what feels good!

Namaste, my friends,
Nelly

P.S. Although the literal meaning of namaste is 'I bow to you,' it has a much deeper meaning that recognizes the divine nature in each of us.  So it's really more like 'the best in me greets the best in you.'  Beautiful, don't you think?
