Hello All,

Recently I participated in a benefit for Gaiam Yoga for Life, a non-profit organization working to bring the mind-body benefits of yoga to children in inner city schools. To me, introducing yoga into schools is such a simple and practical idea. It can be a perfect tool for children to learn patience and strength, which are two qualities invaluable to life.

We are never too young to learn or relearn the virtues of strength and patience. Yoga can help people of all ages accomplish that. Although there are many different variations of Yoga, the basic premise behind it is finding peace and relaxation within yourself. There are so many benefits to yoga, including improving fitness, flexibility and concentration. Yoga has helped me to find and focus on my inner peace. It has brought me a great amount of patience and serenity, especially as I find my way through recovery. I encourage you to check in your community for a yoga center.

Much love and peace to you

Melanie
