Beating the Winter Blues

Are you stressed out this Winter? Does all the snow and cold have you feeling blue?

Getting outside and enjoying nature can pose a challenge when the wind-chill is at single digits or lower! If you’re like many healthy fitness-lovers you might find it way easier to get some exercise indoors on these freezing cold winter days.

Avoid the Winter blues - enjoy a relaxing escape with yoga. Here is an easy way to get started:










Don't beat yourself up if you have been inactive for years! Take it slow! Enjoy the journey! The lasting benefits will come much easier if you are having fun at this!








Take a moment when your mind is free. Focus your attention to receive joy instead of gloom, love instead of hate. You can exclude the thought of evil or you can yield and allow the tempter to desecrate your shrine. Whichever choice you make, these first moments of your day's living will color the whole course of the coming hours.


Can you wake as wake the birds? In their joy and singing share?
Stretch your limbs as do the herds, And drink as deep the morning air?
Quick as larks on upward wing, Can you shun the demon's wiles, Promptly as the robins sing,
Can you change all frowns to smiles?

Can you spurn fear's coward whine, Meet each day with joyous song?

Then will angels guard your shrine, Joys be deep and life be long.
