Bending, Loving and Staying Open with @talia_sutra

To see more yoga poses and scenes from Jerusalem, follow @talia_sutra on Instagram.

As a new year kicks off, yoga teacher Talia Peretz (@talia_sutra) has a reminder for everyone: Be open to change. Six months ago the 27-year-old was trying to get to New York City, her home of nearly 17 years, from Paris, but her flight was canceled. Instead of waiting 28 hours for the next one, she switched course, and took off for her native Israel. Once there, she met a stranger on the street — a man who became her fiancé and inspired Talia to move to Nachlaot, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Jerusalem. “It might be obvious, but I feel at awe at being here,” she says. “Less obviously, I have never felt more safe.”

To welcome transformative experiences in 2016, here’s Talia’s advice: “Sit down and cross your ankles on the floor, focusing on your breath and watching your thoughts. If that’s too comfortable, try it on your head.”
