Solstice in Times Square is a yoga celebration of the longest day of the year. Thousands gathered throughout the day to practice together in the heart of Manhattan, to share their energies and heart-light and, for some, to show off their perfect yoga poses. I couldn’t help but notice a few things, and gather some lessons in the process. For those of you who won’t start a yoga practice because you are too stiff/chubby/tall/old/weak/whatever, you should attend an event like this, where there are so many different body types that no one can feel like they don’t belong. Grab a mat and get going. The other lesson I need to take to heart is this: Two yoga teachers decided one day to present yoga in Times Square, and that first year, there were only five people attending. And that included the teachers! Each year the event grew, and now they sadly turn people away for lack of space! So – a slow start is still a start! My last thought was this: What??!! The days are going to start getting shorter already?! Heck, school is barely out!
Inhale. Exhale. Enjoy.
