Happy Hanukkah greetings to those who celebrate!
Hanukkah reminds us why light matters. It is a story of survival, resistance, and refusing to let hatred win.
To those grieving or afraid, we are holding you in our hearts.
May we each shine bright, radiating peace and warmth for ALL throughout the world!🕎✨🙏✨

~ St. Francis of Assisi

Dear Vista Yoga Community,
Vista Yoga is thrilled to partner this holiday season with Grady Pediatric Clinic to assist two families who are in need, to provide warm clothes, shoes, toys, books, diapers and grocery gift cards. What we love about this clinic is the pediatricians really listen and connect with the families to help ease their suffering.
We have a few cards left and would love to have your support! When you come into the studio, you will find a tree with the different items requested on gift tags and a sign up sheet as well to indicate the gift(s) you chose to provide.
When you take a gift tag, find your giftee’s name on the sheet and write your name and phone no. beside the gift your will be purchasing.
Please return the gift to Vista Yoga, unwrapped with the tag by Tuesday, December 16th. We will be having a gift wrap party starting at 5pm. We’d love to have you join us!

“Happy Full Moon in Gemini!” ♊️

The last full moon of the year rises tonight. December’s full moon is in the sign of Gemini, symbolizing a time of duality, communication, and introspection. Known as the “Cold Moon” due to its occurrence during the darkest and coldest part of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, it carries a stark, reflective energy. In Gemini, an air sign ruled by Mercury, this lunation emphasizes mental clarity, intellectual curiosity, and the power of words.

Gemini thrives on duality and adaptability, urging us to embrace both sides of a story or situation. This full moon can illuminate where we might feel divided or conflicted, whether in our thoughts, relationships, or plans. It’s a chance to explore these polarities and seek balance, understanding that life often exists in shades of gray rather than black and white.

Communication is at the forefront under Gemini’s influence. This is an opportune time to share your thoughts, clear up misunderstandings, or reconnect with loved ones. Journaling, meaningful conversations, or even public speaking can bring clarity and emotional release. However, Gemini’s quick-witted and sometimes restless nature may also heighten nervous energy, making it important to ground yourself through mindfulness or meditation.

The Cold Moon’s placement in late December aligns with the year’s end, a natural period for reflection. As the moon shines brightly in Gemini, it invites you to assess the stories you’ve told yourself throughout the year. Are they serving your growth? Or is it time to rewrite the narrative? This lunation encourages adaptability, inspiring fresh perspectives, and creative problem-solving as you prepare for the year ahead.

The Full Cold Moon in Gemini reminds us to stay curious, embrace change, and nurture meaningful connections as we navigate winter’s stillness and the cusp of new beginnings.”

Welcome December!🤍🩶✨
“December asks us to remember what our culture forgets.
That darkness is not a failure of light.
That slowing is not a deviation from the path,
but part of the path itself.

We live in a world that praises the bright, the busy, the blossoming, the forever-spring of productivity and performance.
But the living world whispers something older.
Winter is the season that teaches the roots how to deepen.
The season that gathers the stories we were too hurried to hear.
The season that turns fallen leaves into nourishment and creates the rich, dark soil that makes all future blooming possible.

Nothing in nature rushes through this threshold.
The trees soften into stillness.
The fox moves with deliberate economy.
The seeds rest, carrying whole futures inside their quiet bodies.
Even the light withdraws in gentle increments,
as if showing us how to tend ourselves with patience.

December is not a void but a womb.
A place of brewing, composting, gestating.
A time when the unseen work is the most powerful of all, the kind that reshapes us from the inside out.

As we enter the deep of winter, may we remember that darkness has its own kind of beauty, its own kind of truth.
And that every bright, blooming April
is rooted in a December that dared to rest.”

“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” ~ Meister Eckhart

Happy Thanksgiving! We are grateful for you.🧡🍁🙏

Give Thanks
For too many days now you have been straying far and wide,
rushing out to meet the needs of the world.
Time now to come home,
to sit by the hearth of your own inner calling
and feel into all that you hold inside—
the ache, the sorrow, the ambivalence, the delight.

Arrive today knowing that you are made of an essential goodness.
Put to sleep the doubts, the fears, the hesitancy.
Like breath, let peace expand in you
touching every fiber and filling every pore of your being.

Nourish the one body that you are part of—
not only your sons and daughters but
the big sky, the waters, the oaks and maples.

There are so many things to be grateful for.
All that can be tasted, touched, seen and heard.
Cherish the small things that come to you this day
your morning bath, lengthening your spine,
seeing the face of a loved one.
Today raise a glass, toast to the wonder of the world.
Feast on love, feast on joy.

—Tias Little

Give the gift of homemade goodness!

Join us for “Gifts From The Kitchen”♥️
Saturday, December 6th
2-5pm
with Marnie Memmolo and Marti Yura

In a fast-paced world filled with too much stuff and not enough connection, the best gifts are experiential and from the heart.

It is in the simplest of things that we often find the most pleasure—time spent together, goodness from the earth and creating nourishment for loved ones.

We will be making an assortment of gifts including: cranberry pepper jam, rosemary pecan crackers, herb seasoned sea salt, sun butter chocolate truffles, body scrub, holiday simmer pot kits and even dog treats for your favorite furry friend.

And of course we will have plenty of treats to snack on as we create our gifts!

Spend some time this holiday season connecting, creating, loving, sharing.
All treats are gluten and soy free. We will provide all ingredients, containers and gift wrap.

$85 per person includes recipes and all materials.

$150 per couple includes recipes and all materials.
