Last Thursday, we held the first Circles of Renewal Journey Through Grief gathering.

Grief doesn't just happen in times of losing a person physically. It happens anytime we are letting go of one way of being and moving into a new way.

This is true whether you're sending a child off to school, making a career change, or navigating a new medical diagnosis.

Grief can appear.

Mark you calendar for these free guided gatherings and invite others to attend with you🙏

The holidays can be both beautiful and bittersweet — especially when someone you love is missing. Circles of Renewal offers time to rest, reflect, and begin healing in a space of compassion and understanding.

Upcoming gatherings will be held on December 4 and January 8 from 6:00–7:30 p.m. at Pierschbacher Funeral Home in Knoxville.

Join Cathy Struecker on the mat tonight and Cullie Provenzano on Sunday as we bookend your week with cozy, easeful nourishment.

We spend so much time doing, taking action, and serving others, that these classes are the perfect way to begin to teach your nervous system to receive and surrender.

There's nothing more you have to do, no expectations to meet, just simply presence on the mat.

I'm honored to partner with Jacki Ballou and Pierschbacher Funeral Homes to offer this free monthly gathering for those navigating life after loss.

Led by Licensed Social Worker Jacki Ballou and myself, you’ll experience gentle practices to calm your nervous system and nurture healing.

No yoga experience necessary... this week we'll be beginning with simple practices to reconnect with the body, notice the breath and begin to use it as a tool for moving through grief.

Join us this Thursday, November 6, for our initial gathering.

See you on the mat or camera this week!

Take note of Saturday's time change (from 9 to 8... this will be the rhythm for the test of Fall).

A bit of a wonky schedule this week because of a wonky schedule later in November, but we are flexible and our students are too, even if they don't always think they are😉.

Flexibility is more than just a body state. It's also a state of mind.

And when you practice flexibility in one, you practice it in the other because you are ONE, WHOLE, COMPLETE human.

Not separate parts as the medical world often treats humans to be.

But whole... the body reflecting the mind and spirit, the mind and spirit reflecting the body.

One.

Human and divine.

And you absolutely have the ability to improve flexibility/mobility in your life.
We're here to show you how.

(Not that we don't love consistency too, but consistency doesn't have to mean rigidity. Life isn't rigid, so we can't be either😘.)

Join us on the mat Wednesday morning or in cyber space Thursday morning. No matter which you choose, you'll likely leave more flexible than when you arrived.

Cold mornings call for warm practices...

And warm beverages.

The decaf will be on on Saturday morning☕️.

Let us be your warm up to the rest of your weekend fun🤸‍♀️.

One of my students recently told me that she is now taking a 1.5 hour lunch break and is able to come in early to make up the time.

You see, she has learned the power of listening to her rhythms and knows that when her introverted self has to be extroverted and put a lot of energy out in order to do her job effectively, she needs time to replenish.

Because she has been doing this work on herself with me over the years and with other guides, she had the courage to use her voice to ask if her boss would be willing to accommodate this understanding of her own rhythms and how it impacts her job.

The result?

Boom💥 1.5 hour lunch breaks (2 in the summer BECAUSE it's a busier time of year for her) 🤯

What a forward thinking supervisor, for one, and two, YESSSSSSSSSS!!!! This is the type of success I love to hear from people.

Not only is this student Finding Her Rhythms continuously over and over with the changing of the seasons, but she's Listening to that Inner Wisdom and what's best for her mental health, then stepping into her power to Own Her Thoughts and Actions to do something about it, and Witnessing the Outcome by noticing changes happening in how she performs at work.

This is a prime example of the F.L.O.W. method I teach in studio classes, workplace wellness workshops and with private clients and teams. But this didn't happen overnight, it has taken this student doing small things often to see and experience these results.

That small thing could be as simple as choosing even just 1 class to commit to during the week that will give you time to reconnect with yourself and your wisdom within.

Why not start this week! Join us at one of the classes below or book your workplace wellness workshop today to empower your team to take small steps often towards greater well-being.

Where are you being asked to speak your truth?

We've been exploring coming into wholeness since the start of September in class, and this week we are focusing on the 5th Chakra (Vishuddha) which aligns with the throat... our center for communication and our truth.

The 5th chakra (energetic system from the Indian tradition) is closely related to the Traditional Chinese Medicine energetic meridians of the lungs, large intestine and also supported by the triple burner, heart, and stomach meridians, which all work together to connect the energy of the body with the head, bringing about self-expression.

And the voice is the means by which we speak life to that self-expression. To the truth that extends from the heart and knowing that exists within our core.

Want to learn more? Join us in class this week to awaken your centers for communication and reconnect with your truth. 💚🙏

Today is World Mental Health Day, and it's a reminder that caring for your mind isn’t separate from caring for your body.

At Cairn Yoga & Wellness, we believe your mind and body are one. When you move, breathe, and feel your way back into your body, you’re also nurturing your mental health.

When we move and breathe together, we remind our nervous systems what calm feels like. We remember that we’re not meant to carry everything alone.

Step into the studio. Exhale. Reset your rhythm. 💚🙏
