Downward Facing September
We've just learned that September has been declared National Yoga Month. This will be the first year, very exciting, which means it's also sort of a trial run. Important to plan ahead, visualize, set an intention. Here, then, are the top ten things we hope will go down during National Yoga Month....
- Tree pose and Lotus on mass transit.
- Essential oils, always.
- Intensive mutual temple rubbing, mid conversation. (Ref. #9).
- Yoga pants at cocktail parties, with heels.
- Spontaneous "adjustments" of office mates.
- Kombucha instead of Apple Juice -- and sticky mats -- at recess.
- On the FM dial, Bhagavan Das breaks into hip hop rotation.
- Obamas host dawn Mysore classes on White House lawn, next to vegetable garden.
- "Please” and “Thank You” replaced by
“Om” and “Namaste.” - Washington Monument wreathed in patchoulis and lit.

6. Ditto.
5, 3, 2. Awesome.

I'd take 3 and not even touch the rest. I guess that with 10 years of doing Yoga, that's what still keeps me from being a Yogi... :)

I'm going to use my yoga paws for bike gloves.
