September: National Yoga Month!

I’m afraid it’s been a busy month in the world of MommyOm… I was under the impression that, as Staples keeps reminding us, “It’s the most wonderful time of the yeeeeeear!” because September means Back to School and thus find myself way behind the 8-ball and totally slow on the uptake in this being National Yoga Month!

For those of you not completely lost in the bliss and sudden abundance of peace and quiet in your lives, perhaps this month might also mean taking advantage of the various specials held at studios around America and getting acquainted with yoga for the first time.  For others, such as myself, it means considering what yoga means in my day-to-day life and perhaps re-committing to a regular practice… or maybe I did that last month?!?!

Whatever.  Whether it’s Back to School or National Yoga Month, do yourself a favour and check out a local yoga class this month.  It might be just what you need to fill up all the time you’ve recently acquired!

Happy Yoga Month!

Yoga Programs for At-Risk-Youth: Join the Revolution!

Celeb songsters belly-up to the mic to offer an incredible mix of original tunes not only to inspire not only all of us all on to the mat but also at-risk-youth.

In an ohm-worthy effort, artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Ziggy Marley, Peter Gabriel, Michael Franti, Sheryl Crow, Krishna Das, Anjelique Kidjo, Seal & Guru Singh, Donna De Lory, Anoushka Shankar & Sting come together with a remarkable musical collection “to promote the benefits of yoga, music and a healthy and balanced lifestyle and to support yoga and fitness programs for underserved youth.”

In conjunction with partners, partners – EarthTones (“Healing the World through Music”), Yoga Health Foundation, National Yoga Month, Nutone/Nettwerk Music and Time Life the ambitious effort hopes to “reach millions of people through the national awareness campaign, inspire thousands more through the music, provide free yoga and fitness classes to the public at over 1,000 participating studios throughout North America and provide in-school yoga-based heath enrichment programming.”

After listening to the samples, I’m in and will enjoy adding the first of the series to my own collection of practice tunes! Take a listen….
