With love and compassion for lives lost, gratitude for those who fought through the rubble, and recognition for how this day has continued to affect our nation, today we reflect on and remember September 11th. We breathe for those who no longer can, and we hold space for all feelings that arise for you, our beautiful yoga community, today.

Poet Mary Oliver spent her life reflecting on the smallest moments in nature, to highlight how big and beautiful and poignant they actually are. Similarly, our work here at Arise can be distilled down to helping you recognize the bigness and significance of one intentional breath, one released thought, one physical movement. We love our work; it has a ripple effect that reaches and touches millions of people.

So love, how are you loving the world with your work? Knowing that sometimes, our greatest ‘work’ is not what brings home a paycheck, but pays us in so so much more.
