| live yoga. Love Life. Even as we head into the darkest days ( it sort of snowed this morning!), I feel the light within as vibrant and clear. And, after spending last week as a student in Yoga Teacher Training, I am full of inspiration and insights to share both in my own offerings and by supporting our growing tribe sharing their own gifts. Last week, we celebrated our one-month anniversary! Thank you so very much to YOU for your support: from attending classes and telling your friends to connecting with us on social media and simply asking how it's going. (By the way, it's going super good, as you'll see from our gorgeous offerings). And in this time of flourishing --when it feels like anything is possible and there is so much creative energy bubbling up around and within the space--what comes through is the recognition that this moment of blooming is just that: a moment. Part of a natural cycle of equally precious periods of birth, growth, and decay which are always occurring simultaneously and harmoniously. For example, as I write this, my dear friend Prue is spending her last day here in Ticino before she returns to Australia and, as thrilled as I am that the seed of her intention to grow her family in her homeland is about to sprout, I feel deeply sad to close this chapter of our friendship. Insert your favorite cliche about doors opening and closing or flowers blooming and withering or waves rising and falling. We all experience this. It's when we "go with the flow," to use another cliche, neither attaching nor resisting that, no matter the circumstances--dark and rainy days, the loss of loved ones, and the manifestation of our dreams-- that we access the light within. If you're called to reconnect with your radiance, there are a few spots left for the Yoga + Self Care day retreat next month and tomorrow is the last day for the early registration discount. You can save your spot by contacting me directly.
