As winter draws to an end, dormant life awakens with a determined goal to grow towards the sunlight. Ecosystems emerge, well rested, and demonstrating a co-dependency, surviving by constantly adapting & collaborating with the world around, leading to an innate ability to co-exist.

This force in you is the striving towards your goals, the different paths you choose to take, your successes and your scars, your battles and your times of peace. In short, the experiences that shape you into being truly unique.

Yet although you stand alone in your individuality, you also stand deeply connected to the world around you. This inherent sense of belonging is the source of true empathy. The knowing that your body and its systems, the thought patterns of your mind are yours to care for. Your family of relatives, friends and loved ones, and your local & wider communities belong to you to care for. Your environment belongs to you to protect the balance, before passing on to the next generation.

This practice of co-existence and kindness, is the practice of yoga for those on this hemisphere as we come out of the internal hibernation of winter.
