An Attitude of Gratitude

As the year starts to wind down, and before the frenzy of the holidays takes hold, perhaps there might be space to practice gratitude, to reflect on the bounty of the year and the gifts you've received (and maybe those you didn't expect). When we remember to take stock of the things in our lives that support, enrich, nourish, provide, inspire, comfort and bring fulfillment, we turn our minds into an open and appreciative state. We become delighted by the abundance around us, anchoring us in what feels right and good.

It's easy to be drawn into what isn't going well, or what we wish we had, to ruminate on past experiences, or hold onto anger. We all do it, it's like we're programmed that way. But, when we stay stuck in this energy, our entire being - body, mind, spirit - shrink and close off. And in the spirit of energy flowing where we direct our attention, where does your mind focus? If you find you're often thinking of what's missing, maybe there's space to shift your mindset and explore bringing your attention towards what is already present, with thanks and appreciation?

A regular gratitude practice can be powerful and it doesn't need to be complicated. Give this simple practice a try: make note of 3 things you're grateful for everyday (from the small things to the big), and notice how you feel after a week (or even after 3 days)! Giving space to have thanks can steer the mind into a more expansive state of possibility and love.

I'll get us started: today, I'm grateful a warm home, for snuggles with my puppy, for my health, and for rich friendships.

Restorative Yoga with Reiki Class

Tuesdays: 5:30-6:30pm

Instructor: Jen Rizza, RYT Advanced Therapeutic Yoga, Yin & Restorative Specialty, Reiki Master Teacher, Wellness & Lifestyle Coach

Class Description:
This calming and centering class is 60 minutes. Unwind from your day, take some time to decompress and tune within. To begin each practice, the room is cleared of negative energies and then imbued with divine, loving Reiki energy to create a safe container to replenish, renew, cleanse and harmonize.
This is a restorative yoga class and you’ll be guided through a few gently stretching and nourishing poses targeted to align your body’s energy centers.
Reiki will be shared throughout the class – you may elect not to receive, please let Jen know when you arrive.

Who is this for:
The pace of life is busy and it draws on our energies, often leaving us feeling depleted and stuck in survival mode. Through restorative practices to realign and bring balance to your energies, you’ll leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready to step back into life with more presence.
If you are new to yoga, this is a GREAT place to start! This class focuses less on physical movement; rather, it invites softening into a shape in a way that suits your unique body, mindfulness, centering, calm, relaxation and empowerment to live in more aligned energetic flow. This class is restorative in nature, and will be tailored to meet the needs of participants.

Therapeutic benefits include:
~Practices to engage the parasympathetic nervous system for rest & natural healing
~Meditative space to allow the mind-body to reconnect
~Clearing out of unsupportive energy to reinvigorate supportive prana within the physical, mental, energetic, emotional and spiritual Self
~Chakra balancing to step away feeling more grounded, whole and aligned

Newtown Wellness Collective practices body awareness & mindful movement, encouraging students to meet themselves where they are, with compassion and loving acceptance.

Getting Through the Holidays 🤗✨🦃🎄

🤪If you've been in any retail store in the last week or two, you'll KNOW the holiday craze has arrived! It's Christmas-everything-everywhere. While for many this is a bright time of year, one of merriment and family, there are many others who find this time of year challenging. Grief of lost loved ones, tense family dynamics, feeling isolated or lonely, feeling pressure for perfect holiday memories, needing to work while others celebrate - these are just a few reasons why it can feel hard to get through the holidays.

💗We are hosting a few upcoming programs intended to offer support in preparation for the coming holiday season. These are safe spaces for whatever you may need, meeting you where you are in YOUR relationship with the holidays. Whether delighted or dreading this season, we want you to feel supported, and maybe that just means embracing time to slow down amidst the chaos.

🤝In community, we are stronger, and we invite you into our community of nurturing, caring and compassion. Learn more below about our other upcoming programs, whether for physical, mental, emotional, spiritual wellbeing or to take some time to 'PAUSE' in the fray of the coming weeks. Self care is self love.

Feeling the impact of the time change? You're not alone! As days get shorter, it’s natural to crave more coziness and reflection. Let's talk about how to adjust holistically to these seasonal shifts.

Adjusting to the Time Shift: A Holistic PerspectiveHere we are, a week into the time shift from daylight savings. For many, this can feel like a true shock to the system. While we watched the days slowly become shorter, it is a stark contrast when the day seems to come to an early close around 5pm.....
