For April…
April has been humming with powerful shifts, otherworldly skies from the super eclipse and a chorus of global celebrations: Easter, Earth Day, Hari Raya, Eid, and Songkran. Wherever we are, this season invites us to notice what’s budding, to honor what’s changing, and to move with steady curiosity. In moments like these, the spirit of yoga reminds us to meet life as it is alive, imperfect, and full of possibility while returning, again and again, to the yoga present.
A Month of Many New Beginnings
From candlelit services to water-splashed streets, April traditions are unified by renewal. I’ve felt that same renewal personally: projects long in the making are stirring, conversations are opening, and next steps are taking shape. The spirit of yoga shows up in small rituals, an unhurried breath before a call, a mindful walk after rain, a handwritten note of gratitude. Each simple act is a doorway back into the yoga present, where attention steadies and priorities clarify.
Simple Practices to Anchor the Season
Name one change you’re willing to welcome this month; say it out loud.
Take five even breaths before you open your laptop; feel the yoga present gather in your chest and jaw.
Choose one person to encourage; let the spirit of yoga travel through your words.
What’s Blossoming Next
There’s more unfolding behind the scenes, and I’ll share details as they ripen. For now, I’m letting April’s rain do its quiet work, trusting that roots deepen before blossoms arrive with more yoga events. The spirit of yoga teaches patience; the yoga practice teaches presence. Together they nudge us to act when it’s time, and to rest when the ground needs watering.
So, enjoy the April showers and the May flowers to come. May you feel carried by the earth underfoot, guided by sky above, and held by the simple rhythm of breath returning you to the yoga present.
