As I write this column, it is winter solstice. A very special one in the planetary world. Saturn and Jupiter will come within degrees of one another. It will never happen like this again in our lifetime. Energies of Jupiter and Saturn illustrate this dance of yin and yang. Jupiter is said to represent growth

It’s Saturday night in December and I am home preparing my class to teach on Sunday. For the past 11 years I have taught a Sunday yoga class and it has become a beloved class to teach.  To show up even when it’s cold and windy can be difficult but in the end, it makes my Sunday extra special.
