How to Practice More Gratitude

A yoga practice enhances your gratitude. Create your own ripple effect of gratitude. This is your reminder to be grateful for today and to practice more gratitude.

A sign that says, “Begin each day with a grateful heart,” is one of the first things I look at in the morning.

“Thank you” are some of the first words I taught my children when they were babies, and they’re the two words they use most frequently now.

Gratitude begins with you, mama, and when you express it, it creates a ripple effect of appreciation for yourself and others. We are all responsible for our own gratitude.

In addition to my kids, yoga is my reminder to be grateful for today. It’s a direct connection with spirit, and it enhances my awareness of the goodness already around me.

Instead of a rug in my room, I have a yoga mat rolled out at the foot of my bed. Who needs a red carpet when you have a yoga mat?

I love my home yoga practice because it's just for me. On my mat, I can just move. I have nothing to prove.

What do you cherish most in your life? Start creating your own ripple effect of gratitude so that you can pave the way for others to do the same.
