Learning to Take the Gifts
How to Practice Happiness (Yes, it’s a Practice).
As a longtime yoga teacher, I am blessed to have the opportunity to guide students in the practice of yoga.
While I so enjoy the chance to see students completely immersed in their bodies, the true gift is when I get to share with them the tools to implement this practice off the mat. I do that in the form of a different message each week, usually a spark of inspiration that comes from something in my life.
I never know where my inspiration will come from—and this time, it came as I watched my son shoot free throws at basketball practice. Over and over, he attempted to get the ball into the basket. As I watched, I began to think about the concept of “practice” as it is defined in the dictionary: “repeated exercise in or performance of an activity or skill so as to acquire or maintain proficiency in it.”
