Kunga Yoga Theme: September 2015
Inspiration for this month’s theme is rooted in the motto of the Special Olympics: “It’s all about attitude!”
Over 50 years ago, a book called The Power of Positive Thinking became an immediate best-seller. The author Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, offered a variety of psychological practices to support the individual in developing a daily optimistic mindset for viewing life’s challenges as opportunities.
