TWIY: Fat Yoga Studio, BKS Iyengar Feature Documentary, ‘Yoga PhD’ Giveaway!

in This Week in Yoga

commencement-catAs life would have it, this week was brushed with bittersweetness. Mid-May always ushers in the sense of ending – like graduations and season or series finales (byebye The Office! tear) – AND the promise of new beginnings (SYTYCD! we’re super fans) and new adventures as we wait for unofficial summer to start.

When it comes to endings and beginnings we love the word commencement. What a fabulous way to mark the close of something, not with a sombertude, but with the cheer and curiosity of beginning the next chapter. It’s a little like what happens when we practice yoga and end in Savasana, where we “die” each time, but it’s not the end, really, it’s simply another commencement…asana.

And with that, we shall commence in regaling this week’s yoga newsiness!
