And so, it is September. We Northern hemispherers are experiencing what some perceive as the descent into the twilight of the year, a transition into the lovely season known as Autumn. Always a pensive and taming time of year, the contemplative mood is made ever more poignant by reminders of events that happened in the early days of Sept. 2001. The 8th anniversary is a couple of days away. And even though time passes, and seasons change, we strive to honor the heroes who made a stand and gave perhaps their most important day of service. As you know, September also marks Yoga Month and as NY yogadorks we are truly proud pigeons to present to you two amazing opportunities that unite the healing power of yoga with memorial for our fallen heroes. Because this is NY, and NY is awesome.
Sorry to bring it a little down tempo today, but things must fall so that they can rise again after all. Read on for details…
