Each week, the editors at Yoga Journal compile moments\u2014sometimes mind-bending, sometimes simple\u2014that are notable reminders to us all that yoga is, in fact, everywhere.<\/em><\/p>\n

UNDERSTAND<\/h2>\n

Could each yoga class begin with this reminder shared by teacher Jason Crandell?<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

LEARN<\/h2>\n

A recent study published in Behavioral Brain Research<\/a> found that five weeks of practicing mindfulness decreased impulsivity levels in risky drivers. These results add to the growing body of research that supports deep breathing, meditation, and yoga as not only life-changing but potentially life-saving exercises.<\/p>\n

FEEL<\/h2>\n

You know that feeling when you\u2019re about halfway through class and sweat is dripping\u2014puddling, actually\u2014on your mat and you\u2019re questioning your sanity in thinking yoga was something you needed in your life but in that instant the teacher cracks the door or turns on the fan and the simple relief found in that blast of cool loveliness buoys your spirits and shuts down any imposter syndrome-esque thoughts you had about your practice? Yeah, that.<\/p>\n

REFLECT<\/h2>\n

A writer learns to trust her intuition after speaking up about a clogged toilet at a silent meditation retreat in a TIME article<\/a>. Well, there\u2019s more to the story than that, but we\u2019ll let you read it. The piece by Dorie Chevlen may inspire you to let your own voice be heard\u2014even when, technically, you\u2019re not supposed to talk.<\/p>\n

WATCH<\/h2>\n

Gratitude Revealed<\/a><\/em> was originally released in 2022 at select screenings.
