Hi Subscriber First Name, What a year 2020’s been! But, I sure don’t need to tell you that. This almost-past year has created a true change of lifestyle for all of us. My teaching has been impacted - classes are smaller, in keeping with CDC guidelines, making me truly appreciate having living-breathing humans in the room with me. My Yoga Therapy training went to the zoom format. And, when you read my blog, you’ll get an update on my Therapy training. At our household, we anticipate our two dogs will probably exhibit ‘separation anxiety’ when we go back to pre-pandemic schedules. Our lives now revolve around making sure one of us is here most of the time and - if we are both gone - it’s only for about an hour or two. Some of you remember that one of our dogs is a barker (and a digger - not to escape just failed attempts to get squirrels or gophers). Thanksgiving and Christmas, were nice, and we both agree very peaceful. Howard and I spent Thanksgiving together with a simple (and delish) turkey dinner. Christmas day we enjoyed a socially distanced meal with son & family (also delish). Today? housework, yard work, laundry. Dogs and husband are out for a walk, so I am taking a few minutes to - hopefully - complete this short newsletter. ON MY END TABLE: UNDERSTANDING YOGA THERAPY - a deep dive into yoga philosophy and its relationship to the therapeutic applications. Written by Marlysa Sullivan. Also re-reading CORE AWARENESS by Liz Koch. Not necessarily a ‘yoga’ book, but one that focuses on strength, flexibility and resilience. And, YOGA AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS by Garth McLean. A treasure trove of information about this condition plus movement from Garth, who is a yoga instructor and has MS. - - - - Until next time, check out my website, in particular the page titled Yoga Therapy — I’ve revised it. My blog is also available on the website - www.lesliesalmonyoga.com. If you know someone who might benefit from what you read on the Yoga Therapy page, please have them get in touch with me. I’ll be on my mat this coming week, always available for questions, and back to teaching January 1. Hope to see you soon, Leslie
