Philosophy Amid Change
Last week I began talking about the yamas and niyamas, or moral codes for a yogic way of living, since I feel that there is deeply valuable knowledge we can all take away from the concepts outlined in these limbs of yoga.

Your yoga teacher or your yogi friends have probably said the words “let it go” hundreds of times. We let go of expectations, let go of spare possessions, let go of our kids (or maybe hold on progressively more loosely) as they become adults in charge of their own lives.
I’m going to sound like your kooky crystals hippie friend when I talk about this service, so I apologize in advance. Based off the traditional jjimjilbang experience, the Korean Scrub is two parts: you shower off, then sit in the steam room for about 15 minutes. The steam helps the outer layer of your skin plump with water so it will slough off easily. After that, our lead scrub therapist, Brittan, will come get you from the steam, and lead you over to a table where she will exfoliate your entire body with exfoliating mitts.
A recent study done by psychologists at the Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada discovered that adult humans have over 6,200 thoughts a day on average. If we include sleeping time in the hourly average, that makes over 258 thoughts an hour- and more than 2.2 million a year. What the hell are we thinking about all the time? These thoughts are probably not productive if there are so many of them, which brings to mind a mental image of each of us, just cooking dinner or sitting in traffic with our heads surrounded by a cloud of what ifs and I wonder whys.
Pregnancy is an intense physical undertaking at any time in a person’s life, and as professional bodyworkers we feel getting prenatal massages is an important part of making it through the journey to motherhood comfortably.
