SUNDAY SELF CARE JOURNAL

WHEREVER YOU ARE AT | VOL.22 | 2020 

Hi {{ subscriber.firstName | default('love') }}

Last night, I tried a gentle yoga flow after months of not moving on my mat much more than into yin poses after being sick with covid and having lingering lung issues.  It felt cautious but divine, new but familiar.  The movement brought me total joy, and it reminded me (as I have been reminded TIME AND TIME AGAIN) on my yoga mat that wherever I happen to be in my practice, yoga is there.  

It was there when I first began, when I was pregnant, when I was a new mother, when I was more into hot yoga, when I was more into yin, on days I didn't feel so into it, in the practices that served as therapy, when I wasn't in love with yoga, when I was obsessed, after the times I have taken a break, on my mat, off of my mat, when it served as self care...my practice is different every single day and yet it continues to meet me exactly where I am at.

I wanted to share this with you because I think it's a good reminder to just go easy on yourself, check in with exactly what YOU need, let you heart lead the way and to just yoga however it shows up.  

Namaste!

- WHEREVER I AM AT

- In The Crystal Boutique

- Live Stream Classes (NOTE SCHEDULE CHANGE THIS WEEK) 

- Upcoming Online + IN PERSON Moon + Crystal Special Events

The launch of my crystal boutique - ethically sourced, hand picked beauties selected by me - has been really exciting over the past couple of weeks.  I'll share a piece that is super calling to me each week with you!  

This week it's this crescent shaped amethyst (you know I'm a sucked for anything that resembles the moon 🌙!). Amethyst is a protective stone with emotional healing energy that promotes love + wisdom, blocks negative energy, increases intuition, and calms the mind.  It's a staple piece for any collection.  Check out my amethyst infused yoga event coming up in July!  

Love what you see in the pic?  Check it and the rest of my crystal boutique out below.  If you can't find what you're looking for, I'm happy to help source for you!

I'm playing with shifting some of my class times during the summer months. ALWAYS open to feedback on schedule & sequence hopes and dreams!

Single class suggested donation $10+.

DREAM : June New Moon + Summer Solstice Lumerian Crystal Infused Yin Yoga

Monday June 22nd, 8:15pm - 9:30pm

(online workshop)

The moon is our closest celestial neighbor and powerfully influences every living thing on our planet. Within 28 days, the moon passes through 8 phases, each with its own unique characteristics. The new moon is the start of this cycle, and the time that we set our dreams and intentions for the next month. Teamed up with the summer solstice, this month's new moon is a POWERFUL time to make time to dream and set intentions.

Join me for a monthly ALL LEVELS New Moon + Summer Solstice Lumerian Crystal Infused Yin Yoga Practice.
Expect to tune into the power, purpose, creativity, dreams and energy that will set you up strongly for the upcoming moon phases.
We will begin and end class by short guided journaling (please bring your moon journal or paper & pen to your mat), and then will practice a calm and serene yin yoga sequence, targeted towards the energy of this specific new moon, and incorporating lumerian crystals throughout our poses. Class is all levels.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR THIS NEW MOON EVENT :
- You can practice yin yoga anywhere in your home. Try to set up in a quiet space. It's lovely to incorporate your favorite candles and essential oils.
- I prefer to practice yin yoga on a yoga mat, however it's not necessary. We use a lot of props in this practice, and they can be a VARIETY of props. 

Bring to your mat :
Yoga blocks (if you don't have any don't worry! A stack of books would be a great substitute)
Yoga bolster (if you don't have one, grab a couple of pillows from your bed)
A yoga blanket/Mexican blanket (if you don't have one, a few towels will be perfect!)
- A lumerian crystal. Attendance to this class is FREE if you purchase one from my crystal boutique (click HERE for inventory)
- A journal or paper & pen
​
Tickets are final sale. Class will be held online via zoom (free app) - you will be emailed login information with purchase.
​
PRICE : $20/single; $30/couple practicing in the same household or FREE with the purchase of a lumerian crystal from MoonRise Self Care Crystal Boutique

*NOTE - if you purchase a lumerian crystal from the MoonRise boutique, you will get your invitation to class with login information several days within purchasing. Please take into account the shipping of your new crystal and purchase early enough to receive (purchase by 6/16 strongly suggested.
I am located in the North Denver area and you're welcome to pick your crystal up instead if you purchase late!)
