Usually staying warm in Florida is not a challenge, but tonight the temps are dropping pretty low with this cold front coming in and it was a little too chilly with the wind for holding our woodland class!

Until next week, friends! ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒณ

Two classes into our fall yoga series and it's feeling GOOD ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Œ

We are soaking in all the changes of fall, seasonal AND symbolic โœจ. What does that mean?!

Well, we begin with a few minutes of breathing and meditation, reflecting on weekly quotes and thoughts (this month it's all related to the fall season and elements of๐Ÿƒchange๐Ÿ‚). For example, so far we've had themes including the balance of control + surrender, exploring new possibilities, and the unexpected joy that might come from elements of surprise this month!

Then we move into our physical practice! I always include seated mobility, static and dynamic poses for strength & balance, moments of pause, feel-good stretches, a restful finish and so much more along the way! Balanced therapy for body, mind, & soul?? Check! โœ…

Happy Fall, everyone! How are you? Are you checking in with yourself? Checking in on your neighbors and friends, or even strangers? Let's take care of one another and ourselves, yeah?! Okay. Just had to get that out โ˜บ๏ธ

ALSO, who's up for complimentary woodland yoga?? That's right, if you've never joined us out in the woods, now is your time to try with the first session free! Go ahead and register but you can bypass the payment page. And if you love it and want to stay for the remaining fall series, let me know and I will send a prorated link! If you can't join for the remaining series, no worries!

We still have a few seats open, so take advantage while you can ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‚.

Our woodland fall yoga series starts in less than 2 weeks and registration is NOW OPEN!!

Join us Monday nights for 3 sessions in October and 3 sessions in November to rejuvenate and "turn a leaf" throughout this beautiful season of change! (Maybe not as much change in Florida, but let's think metaphorically here too ๐Ÿ˜‰)

We'll hold class down in the pavilion from 6:30 - 7:30 pm, perfect for experiencing that magical twilight glow amongst the trees as we begin our practice ๐Ÿ˜โœจ

And let's carve more than pumpkins this fall, carve out TIME for you to rejuvenate inside and out!

Benefits of yoga include:

๐ŸŽƒ Improve strength & mobility
๐ŸŽƒ Gain more balanceโ€”so important!
๐ŸŽƒ Release muscle tension
๐ŸŽƒ Calm & down-regulate the nervous system
๐ŸŽƒ Positive social interactions with lovely people!

And so much more!!

Join us for this special fall seriesโ€”we'd love to have you! ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Poolside yoga has been hitting the spot! Our 45-minute power flow (quicker-paced but still beginner friendly!) is followed by a refreshing dip in the pool, perfect for cooling down and socializing! ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

We have been missing some class members but hoping to see everyone next week! Two more sessions remaining and we're going to soak it in ...literally too, sweat followed by pool ๐Ÿ˜†.

Poolside yoga tonight! ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฆ

We had our first Power Flow by the Pool last week and despite some iffy weather, it turned out beautifully! The video is from right after class had finished; the ambiance perfect for an invigorating practice followed by a relaxing dip and pleasant chatter with my lovely little group! We missed those who couldn't make the first class, but excited to see everyone for session #2!

It was a privilege to teach these camp kids some yoga, breathing exercises, and mindfulness techniques! We had a lot of fun with yoga games and they were brave enough to try some partner moves too! It made me so happy to see everyone excited for their yoga session, running down to the pavilion each day ๐Ÿฅฐ.
