Earth

Darlings,

In Lady Yoga fashion, it is my goal to look back in history to see where we have come from, find the yoga in the moments past to keep us rooted in the present and passionate about where we are going in the future.
History is always happening! Today is Easter, April 24th. Yesterday the 23rd was the traditional birthday of William Shakespeare. Friday the 22nd was the 31st anniversary of Earth Day and on the 27th, according to German mathematician and astronomer, Johannes Kepler, the founder of modern science, he claims it was the birth of the universe in 4977 BC!!
In honor of the three, in the bloom of full springtime, we celebrate rebirth and awareness as our collective intention.
