<div class="editor-content"><p>Happy September, dear community! This short & sweet vlog salutes you!<br><br>This month we are committing to morning moments that feed the soul and influence the rest of our day. Rituals that may renew the mind, and energize the body. </p><p><strong>An opportunity each morning to begin anew. </strong></p><p>(I’ll take it!)<br><br>Let the way you meet your morning help shape the rest of your day. As I mention in this vlog, some days will be more difficult than others, chaotic even. So don’t worry about performing the perfect or ideal morning routine, don’t expect exact repetition. Each morning will be a new experience. Simply notice your energy and the way you respond in the morning, then let the practice and relationship to your prana body develop from there. </p><p>This month we celebrate this community with the 12th anniversary of Yoga With Adriene. Yoga is not just about asana, it is about embodiment. Salute the energetic component of this ancient practice. Salute the trees! Salute stillness! And if you are here, you know that through yoga we may also find belonging, community. Again, I salute you. <br><br>Love, </p><p>Adriene<br><br>I Go Among The Trees<br>By Wendell Berry<br><br>I go among trees and sit still.<br>All my stirring becomes quiet<br>around me like circles on water.<br>My tasks lie in their places<br>where I left them, asleep like cattle.</p><p>Then what is afraid of me comes<br>and lives a while in my sight.<br>What it fears in me leaves me,<br>and the fear of me leaves it.<br>It sings, and I hear its song.</p><p>Then what I am afraid of comes.<br>I live for a while in its sight.<br>What I fear in it leaves it,<br>and the fear of it leaves me.<br>It sings, and I hear its song.</p><p>After days of labor,<br>mute in my consternations,<br>I hear my song at last,<br>and I sing it. As we sing,<br>the day turns, the trees move.</p></div>
