Yoga and H1N1

In the last few days, the number of cases of H1N1 in Lanark County has increased considerably. Just a reminder that breathing is central to the practice of yoga -- it is the primary tool used to link the body and the mind in the present moment. If a student comes to a yoga class who is unwell with the flu then everyone else in those close quarters is vulnerable to becoming ill as well. If you are experiencing any symptoms of the flu -- sore throat, cough, fever and body aches -- please look after yourself and stay at home. The local health unit has lots of good tips to help you through the illness at www.healthunit.org . We will make sure that you can make up the class when you are feeling better!
