Ahoy there! We have arrived! To where? Oh, so many places dear yogadorks – the past, the present, the next generation of Broadway yoga babies. This time of year it’s easy to slip into a pattern of reflection – so much has happened! we’ve been through so much together! where has the time gone?? – but just remember, no matter what it is, this too shall pass. As we step kick our way into the final stretch of holiday pandemonium may we lead with opened hearts toward the future, with compassion and reverance for the past. Take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the ride, because there is much more to come. Was it the great prophet Angelina Jolie who once said, “These babies will grow, but I can always adopt more. ”
