SUSTAINABLE SADHANA

You are the sky, everything else is the weather.

~ Pema Chodron

What gets you where you want to go and what gets in your way? It is said that we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

YOGA FOR GARDENERS

Gardens are not made by singing ‘Oh, how beautiful,’ and sitting in the shade.

~ Rudyard Kipling

The practice of yoga is an art and science dedicated to creating union between body, mind and spirit. Gardening also involves art and science … as well as a lot of hard physical labor that can be particularly challenging for wrists, knees, and the low back. If you can breathe, you can do yoga, so let me introduce you to the ways that you can incorporate yoga practices into your life to make gardening a sustainable practice as you and your garden mature.
