"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
~Marcel Proust
Happy May! Last week I was lucky to take a short vacation and meet up with my parents in Greece. It was my first time to take some time off since before the pandemic. I’m very grateful to have gotten a little break and to spend time with my family.
One of my favorite parts of our trip was a simple morning, eating breakfast on our hotel patio with the view of the sea in Santorini. We ordered way too much food and everything was delicious. The leisure and beauty of being in a different place has always helped me to get perspective when I travel. There’s more to life and more ways to live than what we find in our usual daily routines. We have to make some effort to break out of our bubble of routine, but it’s worth it when we do.
It’s easy for the effects of a vacation to be fleeting as “real life” comes back quickly the moment you step off of a plane and return to responsibility. As I adjust back to LA (and hopefully soon stop taking jet lagged naps in the afternoon,) I want to remember the beautiful nature, ancient and spiritual sites, and the kindness of others. I want keep the perspective that things can always be different, timeless, and beautiful.
I'm happy to be back, and it’s been great to see more new faces at the studio, as well as returning ones we haven’t seen since before the pandemic. The past couple of years have been an uphill battle and I thank you all for being here and keeping this community studio alive.
This month, we are bringing back beach yoga! We have awesome sound baths to help you relax and reset. Also, Monday night 7:30pm Vinyasa Flow with Live Music is a regular thing— come check out this experience if you haven’t already!
