Stepping into the New Year we embrace the yoga principle of aparigraha (non-attachment). Setting our intentions or mindset to be more open to the present.  I find this more nourishing as we can become more flexible with outcomes in our own lives.  
Start this New Year with openness and connection with the Bodhi Tree Community.
 
Starting in January
New Class Series: Wednesdays 11am-12
January 8-29th
$50.00
BEGINNINGS
(the point in time at which something starts)
 A unique and wonderful series to gain a deeper understanding to make a yoga practice for yourself. To acquire a constant source of renewed inspiration and growth and maintain a balanced approach to a healthy practice. I will be bringing in my 15 years of teaching experience into this class. 
The series presents a unique opportunity that you will not want to miss.   
 
The New Year Workshop
YOGA FOR MENOPAUSE
January 17th Friday 11-12:30
$40.000

 
Discover menopause as a transition not a disease.
Learn how hormones impact your physical, emotional and mental life.
Our modern healthcare advancements have increased life expectancy, resulting in women spending about one-third of their lives now in post-menopause!
Gain insights into this transformative life stage, as yoga offers a holistic approach to help manage menopause, encouraging us to view this time as a transformation, rather than a decline in health. We will have a better understanding of our health and our own bodies.
Take the time and opportunity for this class.
 
Bodhi tree Studio was able to give back to the community this year as the end of year donations were made to nonprofits.  Thank you for making that happen!

Without intention, your practice becomes another task to be completed, and it loses its ability to transform.

Living our yoga in this month of December.
Yoga and gratitude complement one another, both encouraging us to be present and embrace life as it is.  On our mats we can build and embrace gratitude by slowing down, tuning to our breath, and appreciating the ability to move and authentically connect with ourselves.  Our classes this month will extend into our daily life by shifting the focus from what we lack to the abundance already present. 
Check in with the class schedule on Momoyoga for special class themes this month and our special Holiday giveaways!
I have moved through some storms recently in my life and thank goodness I have yoga.
Find some part of yourself that is always steady, that is the true part of our yoga practice.
 
I continue to strive to make Bodhi Tree Studio a refuge and a compassionate place to practice for all.  Invite a loved one to join you in a class this month for free.
 
If you have a body and can breathe you can do yoga!


​Give the gift of yoga this season.
Gift certificates can be purchased on line or in studio.   
 
 
Thank you for being part of this community.

November news

Welcome to the month of November!!!
Winner of the Great Pumpkin Contest: Susan G….congratulations!
 
Autumn is in full swing here, trees glowing in rich colors and lovely crisp cool air.  This time of transition has me reflecting on our deep connection between human nature as we develop appreciation; respecting nature's beauty, diversity, and complexity.  I feel most alive when I’m outdoors these days, as nature isn’t just a backdrop for me it is my teacher and my guide...
​

All of this reflecting, brings me to the state of the world and our American political scene.  To live in the present moment is a spiritual life discipline and goes beyond this election. We will continue to work and hopefully have the patience (regardless who wins), to begin the mending process of this fractured time in history. Be tender to yourself in the days to come and continue to share your kindness, as that is what our Yoga practice is about.
In our practices this month we will note how movement influences fascia and fluid circulation. We’re nurturing our body’s ecosystem. Looking forward to seeing you in class, please register with Momoyoga.

Picture
Weaving through the seasons with an open mind and heart, we can appreciate how these changes are part of a bigger picture. Notice the cadence of your yoga practice adapting to the needs of the moment. Perhaps finding yourself drawn to more introspective practices like yin yoga and meditation. Also note what you choose to eat and drink might be different as we nourish our bodies in the presence of this cooler season.
 
Welcome to those of you are returning after your summer adventures and are recommitting to your practice, love to see you in studio.
  
This month we will draw attention to hidden patterns that we need to intentionally build self-awareness.  Here we build honest and compassionate internal dialogues, dig deeper into what our real motivations are and have the humility to know you can learn more. Self-awareness changes us!
 
The studio’s tradition of the great pumpkin contest takes place this month as you guess the weight of the pumpkin, and receive 2 studio passes!

An Autumn Evening of Restorative Yoga
Thursday the 26th at 5pm-6:30.
Restorative sessions have been helpful to all my students.  We work very hard in our lives, and while we may sleep, we rarely take time to rest. Restorative yoga poses help us learn to relax and rest deeply and completely.
I am offering this 90 minute Restorative Yoga Special class with individual essential oils just for you.  Please register with Momoyoga.

   Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.
~ Henry David Thoreau
