• Don’t Rush It!

    Transition-change or passage from one state or stage to another
    By definition, it sounds so simple.  Why then do many of us have so much trouble with it?
    As part of my personal work in Halifax Yoga’s Teacher Training Program, I’ve been thinking a lot about transition and my reaction to it, both on my mat and in my life.
