Check for a Christmas gift for the whole family—Yoga at Christmas
Christmas means most of us will be busy organizing travel plans, going gift shopping, attending lunches and dinners, and preparing for, celebrating, and recovering from holiday parties! This the season to be merry, after all!
While Christmas is a time for joy, it can also be incredibly challenging. For those of you who have moved out of the family home, returning to the scene of your childhood may feel like we are reverting to our younger (read moodier) years!
Christmas also signals the end of another year, making it a time of reflection as a New Year approaches. We start thinking about where we are in life, running through our 2020 New Year resolutions and realize which ones are still outstanding.
In our previous article, we posted some Christmas Yoga poses for the yoga beginner, and we believed you have got it. There goes to a saying: If someone thinks they have reached enlightenment through yoga, then they should spend a few days at Christmas with their family or family-in-law. Nothing better to put you back on track. Look, Santa Claus is doing yoga! Now follow Santa Claus to learn Yoga poses during a family Christmas!

At Christmas, we are naturally called, as yogis, to understand that we are part of a collective story. And our mission is to uplift the world in which we live. One cannot do this without loving-kindness, generosity, and giving to others.
