e braved the holiday season. Slogged through the coldest of months and the dreariest of weather. Now it’s time to take a well-deserved, cleansing breath. In yoga, it’s called pranayama – literally “vital life force” (prana) and “gain control” (yama) – the act of connecting body, mind, and spirit to promote your well-being. But don’t let the positive vibes stop there.

This spring’s pastel colors are meant to uplift, inspire, and turn your everyday grumbles into rays of optimism. Sky blues, powdery pinks, and canary yellows can lighten the darkest mood. Even the sage of color, Pantone, confirms this season’s trend in naming Very Peri – a bluish-purple – color of the year.

You can sit back and breathe easy in these soothing chroma basics or, if an energy boost is what you’re after, combine these soft colors with visual power elements like geometric shapes, graphic florals, or offbeat patterns for some extra glow.

Now go spread those happy hues. Namaste! W
