a message from jill....

Namaste!

If you scroll down a bit, you'll see that we are featuring self care in the months ahead. This wasn't something that we planned out in a big yogic strategy session; it just happened. But when I saw it all put together, it struck me as a message from the Universe. Yes. Self care. Pay attention, please.

Maybe it's just the age we are in, or perhaps it's the Yoga World I inhabit, but there's a whole lot of chatter (and that's all a lot of it is) about self care. In our broader culture the topic seems to circle around massages and pedicures and the occasional nap. I do get the distinction that these are not necessarily luxuries, but ways to be kind to ourselves. However, real self care -- radical self care -- is a whole different ball game.
