The Full Moon in Ta**us arrives as Earth energy steadies the shifting seasons. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is a time to nourish the Spleen and Stomach, our Earth organs, which govern digestion, stability, and the ability to feel centered amidst change. When the world feels chaotic, we come back to the body — through warmth, nourishment, and mindful presence.

As we near the close of the Year of the Snake (Yi Si), the energy begins to coil inward — a final stage of shedding and transformation. Snake years teach us to digest our experiences deeply, to eliminate what we no longer need, and to move from stillness rather than haste.

Ahead lies the Year of the Horse (Bing Wu) — a Fire year that brings movement, expression, and expansion. But before that forward motion, we root. Ta**us and the Earth element both remind us: true growth comes from groundedness.

TCM-aligned rituals & nourishment:
• Support the Spleen with warm, cooked foods — congee, soups, root vegetables, ginger, and dates.
• Avoid cold or raw foods that weaken digestion and stir internal wind.
• Practice gentle qigong or walking meditation to harmonize Liver and Spleen.
• Reflect on what emotional or energetic “shedding” remains before new yang energy rises with the Horse year.

This Full Moon and Snake’s closing cycle invite stillness, integration, and simplicity — so the Heart Fire of the coming year has clear ground to rise from.

BOKETTO AFTER HOURS – WINTER SOLSTICE: YOGA STRENGTH & FLOW

In this class, you’ll flow through a rhythmic vinyasa designed to release tension, build strength, and reset your energy under the transformative energy of the Winter Solstice and New Moon. Move with breath and intention, cultivating heat and strength before easing into restorative stillness. The practice concludes with a grounding sound bowl to center your energy and anchor new intentions for the season ahead.

Your teacher, A’mya, blends strength, breath, and mindful sequencing to help you connect with your body and move with intention.

The class is $25 and limited to 6 participants

MEET A’MYA NAZAIRNE
A Richmond native now based in New York, A’mya first became captivated by movement while learning Tai Chi from two women monks, an experience that showed her the healing power of rhythmic flow. She has practiced traditional and experimental yoga for seven years, living and teaching in India to deepen her understanding before earning her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification in Bali. Drawing on these experiences, she created The Kryptic Method, a rhythmic fusion of Yoga, Pilates, and ancient movement.

The Oil from Boketto LAB is an exceptional oil with an ultra-rich, blend of ingredients, an infusion of traditional Chinese herbs in Moroccan argan oil. We think of it as east (goji, ginkgo, hinoki) meets west (argan, calendula, bergamot).

Anti-inflammatory, increases blood flow, smoothes wrinkles, and enhances elasticity and firmness, The Oil has high levels of vitamins A, C, and E and super-high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, especially linoleic acid which helps to oxygenate cells and boost overall cellular health.

Suggested Use: Use any time of day, anywhere from hair to toes, and wherever a dose of deep hydration is desired. Add a few drops on clean hands, breathe in the aroma, then massage into damp skin and hair.

Ingredients: Argan/Jojoba Oil Blend* infused with Calendula (Pot Marigold)*, Ginkgo Biloba*, Goji Berries*, Bergamot, and Hinoki Essential Oils. *Organic

Sizes: 3.3oz & 1oz

About Boketto LAB: A laboratory is loosely defined as a facility that provides a place for research, experimentation, and discovery. We created Boketto LAB, not as a place, but as a conceptual line of products to create unique and intentional tools we want that don’t exist.

Like Boketto, Boketto LAB places itself left of center, meaning our products don’t fit a single wellness category. From nourishing soaps that pair with custom ceramic vessels, to educational content that allows us to understand and evolve our sense of self, to time-honored tinctures with a contemporary edge… there are no rules and no constraints.

We‘ve explored ingredients we know to perform, kept our eye on sustainability (always aiming for the next level of regeneration), and we‘ve exercised the intersection between our creativity and strategic vision to focus on quality, over quantity. We like to think of Boketto LAB as The Art of Slow Business. With Boketto anchored in the idea of “taking a moment,” we let our curiosity lead product creation with a beautiful pause.

Feeling off after the time change? Here’s how to help your body adjust to Daylight Savings:

Morning:
• Let sunlight be the first light that hits your eyes — it anchors your internal clock.
• If it’s still dark when you wake up, keep things dim until the sun is up.
• Eat breakfast! Prioritize protein + healthy fats to start your day steady.

Afternoon:
• Get outside as much as possible — even 5 minutes of sunlight every few hours helps.
• Try to move your body outdoors if you can.

Evening:
• Dim the lights and switch screens to warm/red mode (or wear blue blockers).
• Avoid bright overhead light after sunset.
• Finish eating 2–3 hours before bed.
• Keep your sleep + wake times consistent — your body loves routine.
• No screens in bed!

✨ Bonus tips:
• Magnesium (topical or internal) can help calm your system before sleep.
• A bit of cold exposure or brisk movement in the morning can reset your energy + vagal tone.

Your rhythm will balance out again — give it a few days and a little sunshine 🌞

In September, Boketto Practitioners, Kayla and Malia spent a week in the mountains of northwest Virginia for an educational retreat dedicated to breast care. It was a week of deep study—learning how to support the physical and energetic health of the chest through gentle, intentional touch. They shared:

The breasts hold so many lymphatic pathways that movement and manual manipulation can help clear and open. Along with aiding lymph flow, breast massage can help soften fibrous tissue and scars, clear the pathways for nerves, and energetically open the heart.

We’re now offering a 45-minute Breast Care Session, combining consultation, at-home care guidance, and hands-on massage for the chest, armpit, and upper arm areas. The goal is simple: move the lymph, soften the tissues, and open the heart.

This session is for everyone, but especially those who have or have had breast tissue.

For now, sessions can only be booked in-store or by phone (804-354-6707) and are donation-based (pay what you can).
