A bunch of MBS members and yoga enthusiasts traveled to Miami recently to attend a workshop led by legendary guru, Rodney Yee.

“The most remarkable thing yoga taught me was how when I change my attitude in a relationship, the relationship changes,” Yee recalled. Yee, who has hosted dozens of yoga videos and is world renowned for his expertise told us that he’d been battling with his father for years.

“We could barely be in the same room together,” Yee said. “And then one day I realized that if I shifted my anger and let his words pass over me instead of into me, I would no longer be affected. This shift brought us closer together.”

“If you are in a pose and your left leg is hurting because it is carrying the burden of your weight, mentally and physically shift the weight to other parts of the body to alleviate the pressure,” he said. This one precious line offered to me anyway, a philosophy of life.

We sometimes feel that we are carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders—especially around tax time! If we learn to delegate our responsibilities to others, we can dilute everyday stress and pressure.
