Ev is off to her last year of elementary and the twins are in first grade! 🙏🏻 Please send me all of the good vibes and / or prayers as I rally these three hooligans while trying to run my business this summer!

Thank you to and everyone else who made yesterday a huge success. 🔆🔆🔆 I cry easily as it is (we’re talkin Huggies commercials). So when the flower delivery guy walked in with these flowers from my Orchard Roots members, I lost it. I actually made him feel awkward when tears began rolling down my face. Then he hugged me 🥹These beautiful people make every moment I spend on this business, good or bad SO well worth it. I’m not sure how I got so lucky, and I still haven’t figured out who exactly was behind this… but it was the absolute highlight of my day yesterday and I could not be more appreciative. I love you guys so much!! Here’s to the next chapter in our Roots journey!

This little man! 💚 Parenting can be rough as we all know. But certain moments bring us back down to earth. There used to be many nights I was at the studio past bed time cleaning. Now I’ve adjusted my schedule to make sure I’m home to tuck my babies in. Tonight they all went to bed early. So I barely missed the mark. My 4 1/2 year old son meandered out if his room and made up some silly reason that he was still awake. I called him out on it and he said, “yeahhhh… I guess I just wanted to make sure that you’re home mom. I couldn’t sleep until I made sure” 🥹🥹 My little protector. He’s a pain in the ass but I wouldn’t give him up for the world!!

*From Holly: Reiki at its core is loving, healing energy. Originating from Japan, it is a powerful yet gentle healing modality that helps balance and increase the energies of your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual self. It allows blockages to dissolve, including anything not serving you (st...

Long post disclaimer but well worth the read. Stick with me here!

As a mother of three (one special needs) children and an extremely busy business owner, my health has taken a back seat recently. The irony is that I am in the health and wellness field. What kind of example is that setting? If I take a hit, my entire house tanks and it affects my business. Especially because my occupation is highly dependent upon my strength. I teach a LOT!!

So, I’ve decided to address one of the most important things to me: OPTIMAL HEALTH!

Luckily my very brilliant, passionate and talented best friend just so happens to be offering this program and she has put a ton of time and research into it. This is very carefully and professionally created based on science and facts.

I am jumping in headfirst, and I am so excited about it. If you would like to start 2023 off right and join me, please contact Erica (contact information in the pictures) or myself for more information. This is an extremely well-priced program because she believes in it and wants to make it accessible to anyone who needs it. Let’s be realistic, we all do!!

What is it??? This 5-week program includes a full week of preparatory and educational material to prepare your mind, body, and kitchen.

Then, once the 21-day elimination and detox therapeutic cleanse starts, you’ll have access to two group coaching sessions for personalized and community support.

And finally, the reintroduction stage, where you’ll bring foods back into your diet in a specific way. Gaining concrete knowledge about how your body responds to certain foods and possibly even gaining tolerance to specific foods that once wreaked havoc.

The results??

You will feel more energized, more productive, and less stressed, experience improved sleep, stop food cravings, and decreased issues with digestion. True healing will happen.

But improved energy and healing from ailments is not the only benefit. You’ll become empowered around food choices. You’ll gain knowledge and support that sets the foundation for health and wellness.

This program provides you with the tools to create new habits that you can use in daily life well past the cleanse.

One out of five fundraiser classes turned out to be pretty successful ( thank you Krystal! ).

I started this Christmas season in full blown Grinch mode. I felt annoyed that amongst my massive family, my kids are spoiled to shreds every Christmas when many sweet babies receive next to nothing. It weighs heavy on my heart and affects my mood, as well as my Christmas spirit. So, the staff at Orchard Roots decided to offer some fundraising classes in effort to make at least a little bit of a difference. A small dent, but better than nothing.

That said, if you have kids and haven’t already had the conversation with them…. Mindfulness amongst other littles may also make a bit of a difference. I fell into the consumerism trap, as I do every year. We have the dreaded elf that we are ever so grateful to say goodbye to on the 26th of December. Sheela the elf made her debut last night and brought my three kids Christmas jammies from the North Pole. I had a quick conversation with my seven-year-old this morning about perhaps keeping to herself the fact that Sheela brought jammies. As not all kids have elves and if they do, not all elves bring Christmas jammies. So, we would never want to make someone else feel sad about that. She nodded in agreement and said, “Oh totally, good call mom. So also, don’t mention her new hippy shirt or sunglasses?”. “Yeah, please keep that to yourself too Everly”. No more clothing for the Elf 🤦🏻‍♀️

HALLOWEEN SCHEDULE CHANGES!! 👻

Apart from Christmas, Thanksgiving and the 4th I rarely close the studio or alter our schedule. But let’s face it… we’re huge Halloween freaks in our house.

🧙‍♀️The * 1:30 p.m. Kundalini is cancelled today so Shabadrang can get ready for her kids, as well as my 5:00 p.m. Heated Vinyasa.
🎃The *4: 00 p.m. All Levels Vinyasa and * 6:30 p.m. Restorative are STILL on the schedule.

💀I apologize for any inconvenience but we go big on Halloween!! (And yes, just 5 days shy of turning 40 years old I’m 100% dressing us as matching gypsies with my 7 year old tonight…shamelessly!). And we have mom’s best cheetah makeup with black eyeliner and gold sparkles five minutes after being drug of bed by my ankle 🥱

My kid is so rad!! She’s always striving to do things for me that she knows I’ll love. Seriously? Me sitting cris cross with my hands at heart center? That beautiful baby never ceases to amaze me and put a lasting smile on my face!! 💜 Fall Yoga - another framer for the studio wall.

**Hey OR Yoga Fam-

As we move into our Fall season, we anticipate class volumes will increase so pre-registration could mean you secure a spot in class that maxes out (Helllloooo Wednesday PM & Saturday AM!) but we wanted to remind everyone of our cancellation policy as this summer has been light.

Classes with no registrants 2 HOURS prior to start of class for daytime and evening classes and 9:00PM the NIGHT PRIOR for 6AM classes are subject to cancellation.

Please, please, please help us out by pre-registering for your classes rather than opting to try to drop in. It’s a new world post-Covid and believe it or not, your pre-registration helps Marissa keep the doors open and all of your teachers bringing you awesome meditative movement 🙂

If you still choose to drop in, please check the website prior to heading to the studio to ensure 1) Your class is still happening and 2) there is room for you in it!

We appreciate you & can’t wait to see you on your mat!

Please pre-register using the link in our bio or at www.orchardroots.com
