This week is the perfect time to ask yourself 'What are you grateful for?' When my mother was fighting her battle with Alzheimer's and I had to see what can happen to the most beautiful souls, I made a promise to myself that I would never forget. Every time I practice yoga or sit in meditation I count my blessings and say thank you. Thank you for my breath, my body, and my mind. These things are never guaranteed and we often take them for granted.
When we count our blessings we literally rewire our brain and neuropathways and are able to find more and more things to be grateful for. It's science. Want a little more information on gratitude? Here is a three-minute ted short: https://ed.ted.com/best_of_web/Yrv8InzX
As we gather with friends and family this week take time for gratitude. Remember those who have suffered over the past two years and look forward to the many blessings to come. If you are flying solo this week make sure to come in on Friday for Black Friday Yoga with Mallory. This is a free offering at the studio but you will need to book your spot.
We have altered class times this week in honor of the Thanksgiving holiday. Please take advantage of our streaming and on-demand yoga options. We offer streaming classes via Facebook and on-demand classes via our app. (see the links below).
This week begins the holiday rush. Please join Jessica on December 4th, for a Holiday Restore and Relax Sound Bath and Workshop. Wear your PJs and enjoy apple cider or a glass of wine with holiday chocolates. Jessica will lead a relaxing yoga flow, plenty of yin yoga, and enveloping sound bath. The cost is $30. Members receive a $10 discount when they use the coupon code MEMBER at registration.
Our Sunshine Pose of the Week is Wild thing pose. In Sanskrit, we call it Camatkarasana, or ecstatic unfolding of the enraptured heart. This pose makes me feel grateful and full of light. From side plank or dragonfly twist, step the top or forward foot behind you. Open your heart and gaze up. Show us yours and share it with us this week on social media. Use the #sunshineposeoftheweek.
This time of year we can easily become overwhelmed. Your yoga and aerial practice can keep you charged with the holiday spirit. Please book in advance and cancel if you cannot make it. This season is very busy and class attendance might be under two people. When this happens we will cancel the class.
Bring a friend for free from now until next week. This is available to first-time attendees. Have your friends and family sign up for a single class and use coupon code FRIEND at check out.
Love and Light,
Lynn
