September!
Septem in latin means seventh. September was actually the seventh month in the Roman calendar until 46 BC - random fact for you all. Thank you, Wikipedia!
Fall is almost here. Yes, you still officially have until Sept. 22. Another season change and timely opportunity for you to take stock, clean out and start anew.

September Focus : Origin of Breath
In yoga class, you may find a heavy emphasis placed on the breath. Why?
The breath helps link the body and mind, it helps center one into the present moment.
The yoga asanas or shapes that we move into within our practice allows an opportunity to explore sensations that arise. The breath informs the body.
When you elongate the length of the inhale and exhale while in motion, the elasticity of muscles increases.
Most of us are shallow breathers, using only a small percentage of the lungs and depriving the body of oxygen and binding stagnant air in the lungs.
More on the breath this month.
