Yoga in the garden

Yoga in the garden Yoga and gardens have a special symbiosis, I think.

There can be no more lovely place to meditate on the gift of this life, and the beauty of that gift, than in a garden.

And there is nothing better for the sore and tired gardener than the fluid movement from one posture to the next in yoga.

With those thoughts in mind, Garden Variety is taking a break from her gardening, and blogging, chores this weekend to attend a yoga retreat in the hills of Virginia.

May you all find peace in your gardens while I am gone. Namaste.

I completely agree. I've placed some beautiful bonsai in my garden that I got from www.bonsaioutlet.com and I have to say that they really have the ability to center me. Something about the quality of life defying adversity really helps me to reach within my self.

Thanks for the lovely reminder...
Peace...
Sara

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
