Information overload and Pratyahara It’s easy to get overwhelmed by information overload. We are on our phones constantly getting news updates, social media posts and messages.

For the blue sky, the stunning sunset, the murmuration of the bird (which is a challenge to capture on the phone, but I tried), for fresh air and the horizon. Gratitude for starting to teach online yoga again. As much as the festive break for needed […]
