I read excerpts from this book in my yoga classes this week. One teaching that really resonated with me was to let your creativity shine. That was the motto of my workplace for nearly 20 years.

Many thanks to for hosting a beautiful feast. We made our own , ❤️ cards, and played Galentines bingo. I was so touched by the goody bags that included a box of covered strawberries, a pickled peach compote, and a lovely handwritten card.

Perfect way to celebrate my birthday and valentines day weekend. Especially since I normally host the self-love workshops! (Check out my virtual on-demand FLY session at thenamastecounsel.com).

Our Story

Man is not made to be hunched over a digital device. Our bodies and minds shout back. We yearn for fresh air. To be surrounded by nature, rather than concrete. Likewise, our bodies need movement, AND quiet, and our minds need to quiet down before we rev up our creative juices.

Meditation and deep breathing, (pranayama) and getting away from sound/air pollution have proven physical and emotional benefits. Additionally, yoga therapy can be highly beneficial for people with arthritis, scoliosis, sciatica, osteoporosis, and a wide range of other physical and emotional health concerns. Deborah Charnes, of The Namaste Counsel, (C-IAYT, E-RYT 200, CYT 500 and YACEP, Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider) is a bilingual certified yoga therapist who teaches and counsels clients in Texas, Mexico and Central America using a holistic approach. Art and music. Dance. Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, Yin Therapy, Diet and Lifestyle, Acupressure and Reiki. She offers private lessons and semi-private workshops on location (in Texas, Mexico and Central America). She works with people of all ages, with all physical/health needs, in English, or Spanish. Among her specialties are workshops for blood sugar management, weight management, and GI disorders. Read more at www.TheNamasteCounsel.com

Additionally, she welcomes day or overnight guests at The Namaste Getaway, a mini-retreat center. The Wimberley, Texas Getaway is perfect for writers, musicians, yogis and artists that need to disconnect from the city lights and ground themselves in nature, and the sights of deer in the background, and a sky filled with bright stars.

The Namaste Getaway offers customizable getaway plans for up to seven days.
