Whenever I need cheering up, I look at this bunny picture I took.
I can't help but laugh at a pile of grumpy baby rabbits. Especially the one on top right.

The Day I Dreamed of Shadow - is a story about the value of accepting your shadow and harmony of shadow (Vagra) and light (Light). The mother symbolizes a person who wasn't ready to accept her shadow.

I dislike the opinion that yoga is always a reprieve. In the right circumstances, it can be.
But when we are conditioned to push further, extend the streak, the yoga addiction can turn toxic.
When it's part of your job, it's even harder to find balance, and it's time to take care differently.

Yoga Burnout: Reclaiming My Space on the Mat
Like for so many others, yoga has been my go-to for grounding and self-care, especially during times of high stress. However, when yoga is part of your job, it’s easy for lines to get blurred…

Same reasons: no people, no cars, no smoking.
But another major reason I love trails is the wildlife. Nothing beats spotting a moose or a fox cub in their element.

Why do I prefer to go trail running over road running? Lots of reasons.
The first is that there are less people and cars. The people I do meet are generally friendly as well and usually aren't smoking. Which, BTW is pretty gross to get a lung full of when you are running.
