Building Community Through Yoga

Today I was fortunate enough to meet (in person, we've emailed back and forth a bit) the fabulous Kara-Leah from The Yoga Lunchbox.  Our paths crossed while she is in LA from New Zealand and I am headed to New Zealand from LA.  

Meeting new friends through yoga, teaching or practicing, is always such an amazing experience.  The language of yoga seems to transcend the awkwardness of meeting someone for the first time.  I have found that regardless of what kinds of yoga people practice or religious or political beliefs, people in the yoga community are open hearted and kind and conversation comes easily.

Through her website (linked above) she is bringing together a community of yogis through New Zealand and beyond.  While yoga is personal path for each person it also reminds us that we are part of the world and we are all in this world together, a worldwide community of people.  I want to thank her for that, she is an inspiration.
