Hey ,
We are in the middle of a late evening yoga class, and I’m watching a dozen students precariously balancing on one foot with their eyes closed. I deeply admire their courage: for most of us it takes a lot of guts to try something unfamiliar, especially if that something creates a sense of instability. Students in this class are no ordinary bunch, though; many of them have had
their knees replaced, ankles fused, and backs operated on. Many of them live with persistent pain that can easily hijack one’s sense of balance and coordination, amongst other things. Yet here they are, one by one, let go of the wall and….BALANCE!
November is FIND YER [BALANCE] month at Satori.
As you know, my problem -solving usually goes in a roundabout way, so this month we’ll take a peek at finding work-life balance, and use “Eyes Shut”
protocol to improve our posture AND coordination (more on “Eyes Shut” in the next love letter.) I’m also hoping that by the time you finish reading this, “balance” is a 4-letter word in your books, too.
Have you ever tried to find a balance between work and life?
This, of course, is more of a rhetorical question, for just about every person I meet on a yoga mat or a meditation cushion cites lack of work –
life balance as their main reason for landing on the aforementioned yoga mat or meditation cushion.
What if the work-life balance we are all so busy chasing doesn’t exist?
Come on over onto the blog - let's chat about all things balance
