YOGA & MINDFULNESS ON THE BEACH

Practicing yoga on the beach has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. There is something about reaching up into the infinite sky, breathing out across the vast ocean, and grounding my feet into the shifting sand that speaks to me. As Pablo Neruda writes, “I need the sea because it teaches me.” It reminds me that whatever it is I am feeling, whatever it is I am going through, there is a vast spaciousness that holds me, and I no longer feel so lost or alone. When I breathe in the ocean air and hear the pounding waves, I feel the vitality renewing within me and become more aware of the rhythm of my own heart. I feel more in touch with myself and more a part of the interconnected web of life. As I more palpably sense the presence of something far greater than me, I realize that whatever it is I am faced with, I will make it through.

So if you, too, love the sea, I’d like to invite you to join me in practicing yoga on the beach on Saturday, September 10th for a 3 hour Yoga & Mindfulness Workshop in Half Moon Bay.
