When your Chair Yoga students gently mention that you look "pretty tired" this morning... you listen! 😅🥱
​This momma is officially in recovery mode from all the holiday bustle. I’m taking the hint and kicking back with a very large cup of coffee from my shiny new espresso machine. ☕✨ Even Santa knows when it’s time to stretch it out and take a break!
​Just a reminder that I’m taking this time to recharge so I can be fresh for you all in 2026. Here is the lineup for when classes resume after the New Year:
​🗓 Upcoming Schedule:
​Mon/Wed Classes: Resume Monday, Jan 5th at 6:30 PM.
​Beginners Session (Bridgeview Park): New session starts Thursday, Jan 8th at 6:30 PM.
​Chair Yoga (Bedford): No class next Friday. We will resume Friday, Jan 9th.
​Enjoy your rest week, everyone! Hakuna Matata! 🦁❤️

Happy Holidays, everyone! 🌟❄️
​I’m popping in with a quick update: We are on a holiday break! There will be no yoga classes this week or next week. 🚫🧘‍♀️ ****chair yoga this Friday is ON!****

​As much as I love our time on the mat, I’m taking these two weeks to slow down, tackle the last of my holiday to-do list, and simply enjoy being present with my family. 🥰🎁 I truly hope you are able to do the same—find some stillness, breathe through the busyness, and enjoy every moment with your loved ones. 🕊️🕯️
​Rest up, hydrate, and enjoy the treats! 🥧☕ I can’t wait to get back to moving and breathing with you all in the New Year. 2026 is going to be amazing! 🎉💫
​Check the website for the full return schedule. See you soon! 👋✨

❄️ The Sun Stands Still: Winter Solstice Facts & Yoga ❄️
​Since we aren’t meeting tomorrow, I wanted to share a little bit of the magic behind the Winter Solstice! Even if you’re staying cozy at home, it’s a powerful day to acknowledge the shift in energy. 🕯️✨
​🌌 Did You Know?
​The "Standing Still" Sun: The word Solstice comes from the Latin solstitium—meaning "sun stands still." Tomorrow, the sun reaches its southernmost point before "pausing" and beginning its journey back toward the light. ☀️💨
​The Yogi’s "Kumbhaka": In yoga, we can view the solstice like Kumbhaka (the retention of breath). It’s that sacred pause at the very end of the exhale before the next inhale begins. It’s the ultimate moment of stillness! 🧘🧘‍♂️
​A Natural "Reset": Historically, this was a time to celebrate the "rebirth" of the sun. For us, it’s the perfect time to clear out stagnant energy and set fresh intentions for the coming months. 🌿
​🏠 How to Practice at Home Tomorrow:
​Light a Candle: As the sun sets on the shortest day, light a candle to represent your own inner flame (Tejas). 🔥
​Child’s Pose (Balasana): Spend 5 minutes here. Let your forehead touch the earth and breathe into your back body. It’s the ultimate "winter" pose for grounding. 🐢
​Journal Your Intentions: Write down one thing you want to "leave in the dark" and one thing you want to "bring into the light" this year. ✍️🌑➡️☀️
​Wishing you all a peaceful, restorative Solstice! I can’t wait to meet on the mat again soon to welcome the returning light together. 🕯️✨

One last flow for 2025! ✨
​Tonight is our final Wednesday class of the year. Since the next two Wednesdays fall on the holidays, and I’m taking the next two Mondays off to prep and recover (we all need that holiday reset! 🥂), we are wrapping up our year this evening.
​Looking back on this year, my heart is so full. I am incredibly thankful for each and every one of you who stepped onto the mat with me. Your energy, dedication, and presence have been the greatest gift. 🧘‍♀️💛
​Please have a wonderful, restful holiday season. I can’t wait to see you all back on the mat the first week of January to kick off 2026 together!
​Next Step: See you tonight at 6:30pm at Crossroads Community Church

🌕 The Last Full Moon of 2025 is almost here!

Tomorrow night brings the "Cold Moon"—the final full moon of the year. To prepare, we are slowing things down on the mat tonight.
​Instead of heating Sun Salutations, we will be flowing through Moon Salutations (Chandra Namaskar). This practice is all about cooling energy, grounding, and quieting the mind before the holiday rush.

​Come flow with the lunar energy!
