🎄🧘♀️🎶❤️ THE FINAL COZY CHRISTMAS CLASS OF 2025 WAS AN EXPERIENCE...
Peace. Gratitude. Presence. Grace. Love. Joy.
My hope is for every class to be not just a class, but an experience for the mind, body and the senses.
The scent, sights, feels and taste (choice of tea and optional dark chocolate after).
As these beautiful humans rested in relaxation pose, by candlelight, with Celine Dion singing "O Holy Night", I felt such immense gratitude., for them, for the moment and to be blessed to hold space for these gatherings.
As we came to seated pose at the end of our practice, we raised our hands, palms facing up, in gratitude towards God, the Universe and Nature, for the moment and for the gift of life.
Then a pause with palms together in prayer position at the third eye, our center of wisdom, clarity, focus and intuition.
Finally, our hands together...left hand in moon energy and right hand in sun energy...at the heart...our center of connection with all beings, compassion, joy and love...as Celine hit her notes that inspire chills, a smile and maybe even tears.
Yoga means something different to everyone, and we find it in our own ways.
For me, many times in savasana, our ending resting pose...either in my own practice or while guiding other while teaching...I envision my dad and Jesus smiling at me, all of us in the room and our world, with such joy.
I don't expect it, it just happens.
It's in the pause. In the feeling.
It's interesting what comes to us when we create time and space for pausing.
So, on this Winter Solstice night, and as we prepare for Jesus birth and the celebration of life, let us pause without expectation.
Just pause. Be present. Feel whatever is there.
Rest. Renew. Revitalize. And allow yourself to be so grateful for this gift of life.
Merry Christmas friends! I am grateful for each of you.
Be Inspired, Enjoy the Journey, Embrace the Pause & Be Present ❤️.
