Let's Connect

Hello Tucson High Yogis,

Well, I haven't posted in a while, but now is a good time to begin again.  Normally, we would be gearing up for our fun chakra unit at school.  However, things have changed a bit with COVID-19.  We must be safe and stay away from public spaces to protect ourselves, our families and everyone else.  We will find ways to do yoga together and to learn about our chakras.  Ms. Donovan, Ms. Hoeflinger and I are in constant contact (apart) to try and bring our best to each of our students now and always.


Here are some things you can do right now to practice:

Do the practie that you memorized for our midterm...
Sit for 5 minutes and breathe....
Go onto youtube and find the sa ta na ma meditation and do it...
Go to glo.com and do one of their free practices...
Follow @darrenrhodesyoga on Instagram and do a free practice that he is offering...
Follow @yoga4youth on Insta and look for some live offerings from me :)...
Facetime a yoga buddy and do a practice together...
Teach sun salutations to your family...

Basically, any type of practice you do will make you feel better, and the great part is you won't have a teacher scolding you for not dressing out!!!!!  We have to laugh, right?


The truth is that we want to be in school with you all, but that's not the best thing right now.  So, we will do what yogis do and adapt, change, go with the flow and find the good in the situation.


Remember Yoga Sutra 1.2: yogas cittavritti nirodha  yoga calms the stirrings of the mind  You have practiced enough to know that's true.  So, now is the time to put it into practice my dear yogis.


See you soon,

Ms. Gutierrez
