Hello Sunshine,
March Madness is upon us this week as we head into our spring season. February's darkness and cold leave us as the time change on the 14th spring us forward with our days full of more sunshine. Everyone will start to have spring fever as the schools take a break beginning on the 12th of this month.
Mallory will host a special event to honor the Spring equinox on the 20th at 7:30 pm. She will have a therapeutic yoga session with a sound bath and meditation. Please book early as there are limited spaces available. See the link below.
We are also proud to announce our on-demand videos live on the Sunshine Yoga Shack app. You can cast the yoga classes on your TV for great Sunshine Yoga in your home. There are tons of classes to choose from, even aerial.
Spring break will mark one year since the shutdown began. Together we are making strides to overcome the virus, and I urge everyone to continue to do their part. This month we are planning to add 4 spots in the studio for yoga classes. This will alleviate the waitlist situation. The added spots will still keep adequate social distance between each yoga spot. If you have concerns or questions, please reach out to me directly at lynn@sunshineyogashack.com.
This week's Sunshine Yoga Pose of the Week is GODDESS pose or in Sanskrit Utkata (Fierce) Konasana (Angle Pose) to honor our strength and power. In this pose, we take up as much space as possible and increase our testosterone naturally in the body. Energetically we are attempting to line up Sushumna (our central axis of energy) and connect the chakras giving the body a strong, energetic charge.
There are many different variations to this posture, but we see it most with the legs wide, and the feet turned out. Attempting to turn the knees and hips at a right angle and to arms matching with elbow and shoulder at a right angle as well. Palms turned up to receive positive energy from the universe. Tuck the tailbone and bring the crown of the head over the end to the tailbone.
Make sure to post your Goddess pose and use #sunshineposeoftheweek #sunshinetribe and @sunshineyogashack. Without the hashtag and studio tag, I may not see your entry. Every post you make is an entry. There are 4 weeks and 4 poses before we draw the winner. The winner will be able to choose a new Manduka yoga mat or bolster from Manduka.com.
January's winner was Davi Rojas (see picture below), and we will choose February's winner on Monday morning. There is still time to enter post your picture now.
Love and Light!
Lynn
