Dear Friends, as we reach the end of the solar calendar year, we’re invited to take the time to pause. Sit quietly with yourself and journal or meditate about the highlights and obstacles you encountered in 2024. And reflect on what you want to leave behind, and what you would like to carry forward into 2025.
Reflection isn’t generally a one-and-done practice, which is why I’m inviting you to my New Year’s Day workshop at Studio 34.
“Realign and Renew: Gentle Yoga and Intention Setting” will take place in-person on New Year’s Day at Studio 34 Yoga in West Philly from 2-3:30pm.
We will find the gentlest movement, reflect in group journaling time, then you will be guided through rest practices to help you soothe your nervous system and find more relaxation and ease, so that you can open your heart to connect with your truest desires.
This workshop is a great opportunity to start off 2025 with some purpose and intent.
If you can’t make it in-person, the journaling prompts we will work through together are inspired by my e-book “Sustainable Self-Care.”
Download it here and make your own workshop at home, or come reflect with me in my workshop on New Year’s Day.
There’s a real beauty formed when people gather to care for themselves and to reflect. My teacher Thea Elijah calls this a “group heart.” If you’re wanting to start 2025 in loving community, please join me at Studio 34 Yoga in West Philly. Pre-registration is encouraged as this workshop will likely fill.
May you be bathed in the light of awareness this coming year.
Monica
PS: Do you love to lie down and rest? Or maybe you find resting super fidgety and difficult? In either case, my “Rest and Restore: Winter Restorative Yoga Workshop” on Friday January 24th from 7-8:30pm is a perfect opportunity to work with your nervous system. Details here.
PPS: Live far away? Prefer to cozy up at home in the privacy of your own home? My first “Rest and Restore Online Workshop” will be held Sunday January 12th from 11am-12:30pm. We will cozy up in the comfort of our own homes using blankets and pillows. Imagine a well-architectured pillow fort to help you find more rest. Register on my website.
And, as always, reach out with any questions.
