Scratchy eyes and compromised lungs are some of the health issues people have been dealing with due to the increase in volcanic activity of the Big Island. The County of Hawaii has issued some suggestions for dealing with the excessive sulfur dioxide and ash in the air at their news site.
In my restorative yoga classes this week, we've been focusing on long, deep exhalations with the intent of fully expelling any toxic, metabolic wastes from the lungs. We have yet to scientifically document the effects, but folks report feeling much more rested and focused. So, exhale long and deep and spend more time in restorative poses and/or activities. This too, shall pass.
