<div class="editor-content"><p>Happy Spring my sweet friends, the sun shines for you! Meeting you where you are today for your May Member’s Vlog. I look forward to practicing with you this month! <br><br>Let your intuition inform your asanas, let stillness transform your thoughts, <em>let self-compassion liberate your authenticity.</em></p><p><em>What do you say?</em><br><br>Love, </p><p>Adriene<br><br><br>Poem Read -</p><p> <br>The Wild Rose, by Wendell Berry<br><br>Sometimes hidden from me </p><p>in daily custom and in trust, </p><p>so that I live by you unaware </p><p>as by the beating of my heart, </p><p><br>suddenly you flare in my sight, </p><p>a wild rose blooming at the edge</p><p> <br>of thicket, grace and light </p><p>where yesterday was only shade, </p><p><br>and once more I am blessed, </p><p>choosing again what I chose before.</p></div>

<p>Hi all, thank you for this and the comments. I’m not doing well—“surprising” MRi results, my 21 yr old son mad at me because I said I was sad, awaiting precancer test results, and difficulty creating a new empty nest life. Grateful for FWFG because I feel not alone and it’s always constant warmth. I’ve been humming Bette Midler’s the Rose for a week and found the poem today a great counterpoint. Thank you all.</p>

<p>Hi Adriene and kula darlings, I got engaged two days ago. It is a very magical experience but also one which really makes me feel transitions and the passing of time. I need a lot of help integrating this next step into my life, even if it is something I have wanted for a while. I hope this theme can serve me for this reason. Happy spring, all ❤️</p>

<p>I’m feeling jittery because I have to start my day with hurricane shelter training for the county and it means being in an environment I’m only in once a year. Driving to an unfamiliar location isn’t fun for me, but I’m rolling with it. Happy May!</p>

<p>Hey y’all, I’m really struggling to cope right now.</p><p></p><p>I’m living abroad in Japan in the countryside and my father passed away last month which brought me back suddenly to Los Angeles and I had just returned a couple days ago after staying there a month. I’m trying to have 15 minute bursts of focus and controlled spaces to have a sort of guard rail against all the chaos of my mind.</p><p></p><p>I’m glad I’m trying.</p><p></p><p>Today I felt more in control of the inner space than yesterday and I hope tomorrow I can say the same thing.</p><p></p><p></p>

<p>This poem really touched me🌹. It’s a year today since the start of an extremely painful breakup of a 13 year relationship. There is always hope and beauty, even in the darkest of times. This poem and the theme of integration are really powerful to keep in mind when life hits bumps on the road. Thanks for sharing yoga and these words in such a beautiful way. 💚🌹</p>

<p>I hope May is a month of hope. Redundant, I know. My husband died 6.5 years ago. May 14th would have been our 48th wedding anniversary. I've been praciticing yoga for 30 years and it does help, but being a widow is forever. The grief is forever.</p>

<p>Watched first thing this morning, nice gentle way to start the day and the month of May. Snuggled with my Benji (aka Spuds!). He and Benji are kindred spirits, though very different breeds of dog (Spuds is a beagle-chihuahua mix); they're the same age, and both have a spot around their right eye 🐾.</p>

<p>Good morning! I'm feeling excited because I'm starting the True yoga journey today and I'm really looking forward to it! I must say though that the idea of the "Integrate" month is also very tempting. I might do some of those videos as well to get into that mindset. Have a happy May everyone! 😀</p>

<p>I'm feeling a little unsteady and a lot impatient as things in my life are shifting but not as quickly as I'd like. But I'm getting back on the mat to make peace with having the process take time. 🙏🏼</p>
