Join Katie in celebrating the New Summer Season by embracing release through gentle playful somatic yoga (a type of yoga movement designed to release stored stressed emotions in the body) and breath-work to relax your nervous system. Rest into a relaxing sound meditation with Ocean Drum and Crystal Singing Bowls followed by pulling an Earth Spirit Oracle card to set the mood for embracing nature, renewal and abundance! Stay for some cucumber mint infused water, fruits, crackers and dip.

The weather is weathering. I know that you are probably hearing a lot “Spring Into Action!” . And there most certainly is something to that! Yes, you should be doing the thing that is going to benefit you. But also, pollen.
So. Much. Pollen.
So, I am going to be focusing on tapping into how we feel physically this week. I am going to be giving alternative asana this week so that if your body is just NOT feeling that posture, you have options! Because… pollen makes us feel gross. And this is not a competition. It’s self care.
Check out my classes this week focused on finding balance through alterations.

Other questions we had was: does the recipe have to be healthy? No.

What if someone is bringing the same as me? Ask Katie, she has the list. First come first serve!

“I work out, I eat accordingly, and I am sleeping 8hrs. But I am achy and tired…what am I doing wrong?”
Nothing. You are doing nothing wrong. I know that there is a lot of things out there to purchase and things to eat or drink. But maybe… and sometimes… it’s just winter. A season. Seasons can affect us. Winter in New Jersey means less sun and this season was a doozy.
Our shoulders roll forward to try and keep our torso warm from the weather, we curl a little bit more into ourselves on the couch and we are naturally tensing up from the cold. So, here is what I suggest:
* Stretch first thing in the morning.
