Yoga at the Airport: San Francisco knows what's up...

I've often found myself at airports, wishing there was a secluded spot where I could do a few sun salutations, some hip openers and inversions to prepare for flight. Well....San Francisco went ahead and DID IT!

The nation's first Yoga Room in an airport. I had the pleasure of arriving early for my morning flight back to PHL and had a lovely 40 minute practice in a peaceful space. Then I snapped some photos!

Yes, there are props at SFO

And even a buckwheat bolster type thing

These ladies were on their way to DC (and said it was OK if I took their photo)

Lovely signage

View from the outside...

So...my next effort is to try to see if PHL would be open to the idea and what it would take!

Yoga in Airports!
Yoga everywhere!
Weary travelers be weary no more!

Something Strangely Empowering

The Five Rememberances of the Buddha

offered by Thich Nhat Hanh in The Plum Village Chanting Book

I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.

I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape ill health.

I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death.

All that is dear to me and everyone I love are the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them.

My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.





wow.

sometimes yogatta

at its best, yoga is transformational.

on a bad day, yoga helps you realize how insignificant your thoughts are and how easy it is to choose other thoughts and change your patterns.

it also helps you stay young forever!

for example,

my mom!
