We really begin to live our yoga practice when we take what we've learned off the mat and into daily life. Here is a simple way to apply your practice in a way that effects the world around you.</span></span></div><div _mce_style="color: #170c22;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div _mce_style="color: #170c22;" style="color: #170c22; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span _mce_style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">April's Challenge: A Kindness Practice</span></strong><br />What if we all practiced kindness? Allow yourself to envision for a moment what our World would look like with everyone practicing kindness. See yourself acting from kindness toward others, and that kindness spreading out like a wave to affect all of humanity. Imagine kindness being the response of choice at the most challenging moments. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div _mce_style="color: #170c22;" style="color: #170c22; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first step is the vision of a World connected through kindness. The second step is to put that vision to work in your own life, regardless of whether others are participating or even noticing. </span></div><div _mce_style="color: #170c22;" style="color: #170c22; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div _mce_style="color: #170c22;" style="color: #170c22; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the month of April, integrate kindness in your day. Each day, commit one random act of kindness. Go out of your way to help out a stranger, spend time with someone who is isolated, or hug a cranky person! Be creative, and share your stories below.</span></div><div _mce_style="color: #170c22;" style="color: #170c22; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div _mce_style="color: #170c22;" style="color: #170c22; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Namaste,</span></div><div _mce_style="color: #170c22;" style="color: #170c22; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marty Tribble</span></div><div _mce_style="color: #170c22;" style="color: #170c22; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.martytribble.com/">www.martytribble.com</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4385379993483859416-1691374339478139941?l=martytribbleyoga.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marty Tribblenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385379993483859416.post-21591009393788409142009-10-28T16:25:00.000-07:002009-11-09T10:04:40.629-08:00I am pleased to bring you my first podcast, a smooth vinyasa flow class with a sprinkling of hip openers.
