Ahhh, spring. Here's a quick list of things you can do to give a nod to the season of regeneration.
1. Strike a pose. There's something about a yoga pose that has the power to energize (or at least stretch those ignored muscles.) A few favorites: downward facing dog (pictured above) cat/cow (on all fours, alternating arching, then rounding your back) and cobra (lay on your belly, and then lift your upper body up.) Some great step-by-step basic poses and how-to info can be found here: www.santosha.com/asanas
2. Organize something. Whether it's a file cabinet or a rally, there's catharsis in creating "order."
3. Clean a window, and then open it.
4. Plant something. A tree, a seed, or an idea-any one of these things can make a difference to the world.
5. Go play outside. Find as much evidence of spring as you can, whether it's a the Skagit Valley Tulip festival (April 1- April 30, go to

http://www.tulipfestival.org/ for more info) or on Pacific Avenue. Spring is here-breathe it in.
