Alligators in Oklahoma who stuck their snouts out so they could breathe as unusual cold froze the water around them inspired a yin style yoga practice which asks you to breathe into discomfort. Like those alligators, when the next climate change crisis hits, and it will, we need to first set ourselves up to breathe. While we breathe into it, waiting, we gather strength, so when the ice melts we are ready to take action to help now or address the root cause.

Income from my yoga studio used to fund my wildlife rehabilitation work. My yoga studio is now permanently closed, a victim of the COVID pandemic. The turtles and I need your support more than ever. Your monthly sponsorship on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/debbiephilp) contributes towards needed equipment and supplies for Dancing Turtle Rescue and Rehab (http://www.dancingturtlewildlife.com), the wildlife rehabilitation clinic in a bus. Thank you for being awesome!
