One of my dear yoga teacher Kamala Amy (@kam_asv) used to always finish her class with this sentence “Bring your hands to your heart center and feel a sense of gratitude”. Back then, I was at the beginning of my yoga journey but I found this simple sentence so helpful and powerful.

It is so easy to get caught up in our life and its dramas, often with reason. But even when we are going through major hurdles, recognizing the good aspects of our life, even the smallest good ones, helps us to distance ourselves from the drama and give us some equanimity

When we acknowledge the good that we have in our lives, we connect to something larger than us, whether to other people, to nature, or to a higher level of spiritual energy.

Amy, I can still hear your soft voice at the end of my practice… and remember then to feel a sense of gratitude!

I wish you all a lovely festive season!
