SUNDAY SELF CARE JOURNAL

A HUI HOU MĀKOU  | VOL.51 | 2021

Dear First name / sweet friend

I wanted to write you a quick update to let you know that my online classes will resume 4.26 (and I'll be teaching in person with Lisa at Yoga On The Deck 4.24, see invite below, I hope I'll get to see you!).  

My Mother-In-Law passed away on Monday.  It was sunrise on the New Moon. My family is taking some time to process everything.  I wanted to share with you a quick saying that was read during her services (we shared a love of Hawaii with her) - a hui hou mākou means “until we meet again”.

I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon my friends.  

Thank you for your patience with me over the past few weeks, it means the world.

(virtual) FULL MOON YIN YOGA w/ CRYSTALS | 60 min

WHEN : Monday, April 26, 2021 8:15pm MST

LOCATION : virtual

INVESTMENT :  pay what you can

SUGGESTED CRYSTALS : coming soon

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 full moon is the middle of this cycle, and the time that we celebrate where we are at and release things that are no longer serving us.

Yin yoga is a gentle form of yoga, appropriate for any level, and the ultimate self care. In yin, we hold poses for longer amounts of time to allow gravity to take over, our parasympathetic nervous system to kick in gear, and calm in our mind and body.  It is TRULY the best hour of self care.

Tonight's practice will encourage you to tap into the energy behind this specific full moon in a way that serves your life.

Grab a crystal that is resonating with you this month and bring it to your mat if you would like! You can use it during your practice and set new intentions with it as a part of your full moon ritual.

SUGGESTED CRYSTALS : coming soon

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.

Yoga and aromatherapy have long been traditionally linked through the holistic medical system Ayurveda. Aromatherapy - like yoga - works on the body, mind and spirit. The beautiful impacts are felt both physically and emotionally. Breathing in essential oils stimulates areas of your limbic system, which is the part of your brain that plays a role in emotions, behaviors, sense of smell, and long-term memory. Aromatic botanicals are used to aid meditation and alter mood. Oils are used to heighten relaxation and relieve stress. Scent can create an environment that encourages particular moods - which further enhances your yin practice to a blissful level.

In tonight's class, I will offer you the opportunity to incorporate essential oils throughout your practice (using oils is not mandatory).
