Nov. 2023

“May all beings everywhere be happy and free.”

Happy November! And welcome to the last couple months of 2023. This time of year can feel extra busy, with finishing up projects, holiday parties, planning get-togethers, travel, and the list goes on…

Amidst the hustle and bustle of our own lives, there continues to be so many troubling things happening in the world. At times, seeing so much destruction and pain can make me think that anything I’m dealing with is almost insignificant.

There is a Sanskrit prayer that often gives me inspiration: Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu. It translates to:

May all beings everywhere be happy and free,
and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life
contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.

As we tend to our own responsibilities and things that keep us busy in life, I hope that we can remember choose actions and attitudes to align with the benefit of humanity. Whether that shows up as acts of kindness, activism, checking in on others, or the radical act of slowing down to be more mindful in a world that’s always on overdrive— small things can make a big difference for ourselves and for our community.

With all that’s going on around us, I hope you find some time for you. We have awesome classes and events this month to keep you grounded and nourished. Hope to see you soon at the studio!

Take care and stay healthy!

With Love + Gratitude,

<3 Lara
