November, Growing in Gratitude
We love this month! It really begins to feel like the holidays when you see the Christmas decorations next to the new blooming petunias (this still seems so bizarre)! As we enter this month of gratitude we especially appreciate you, our yoga family. Thanks to your support and attendance we are able to do what we love, which is to share our love of Yoga and Ayurveda with you. To quote the Go Gratitude website… “Gratitude is what returns us to Love. When we feel unable to Love, whether it’s our Beloved companions, life challenges, changing circumstances, .anything, we are always able to find something for which to be grateful. It is here that Gratitude brings us home to Love, to our center, to a space of empowered sacred creation.” Nice. If you would like a process to begin to connect to the power of gratitude in your life this is a great one; create a Gratitude Journal. Just write down five things you are grateful for each night before you sleep. Not only will this create a wonderful foundation for a positive dream state, but as you begin to put your attention on what you are grateful for, more of those things will begin to manifest into your life. This is The Law of Attraction (“That which is like unto itself is drawn.” to quote the Science of Deliberate Creation.) If you would like to know more about this profound phenomenon, you can go to www.thesecret.tv or rent the DVD “The Secret” at the Ft. Myers studio. We also have ordered a few copies for sale in the boutique to help you inspire loved ones this Holiday season!
The Boutique
We have new Yogi Items arriving daily! Yoga Wear for men, women and kids from Be Present and American Apparel just in time for Holidays.
By request, we now have Mat Cleansing Wipes by Jo-Sha. These gentle, aromatherapy wipes contain soothing essential oils to cleanse not only your mat but also your hands and feet. Available in four fragrances; lavender, tangerine (great to warm and sooth the Vata Dosha types), peppermint (great to cool and calm the Pita Dosha types), and eucalyptus (to stimulate and invigorate the Kapha Dosha types). If the last sentence left you confused please go to the Ayurvedic section of our website to answer the questionnaire (or pick it up at the studio) and discover your Ayurvedic Constitution/dominant Dosha.
Good news for those of you who slip and slide on your Yoga mat, we have ordered the amazing yoga towel which will keep you from sliding on your mat during your practice, Jackie has tested everything on the market and this truly works!
We have so many exciting things on the horizon to enhance your yoga experience, from new instructors and classes, to products and workshops. If you have any requests please let us know. Student surveys are available and we would love your feedback.
Stay tuned for the new schedule in December…which will offer a new Post-natal class for new moms to get back in balance, as well as a Pilates class and of course…more Yoga!
Keep in mind we do offer Gift Certificates for those of you who would like to share the joy of Yoga and offer a gift that keeps on giving.
We will be offering a Thanksgiving Yoga Class from 9:15-10:30am only, the evening class will be cancelled. Classes will resume with normal schedule on Friday
We wish you a Joyful Holiday Season flowing with Gratitude and Love.
Namaste'
Tess and Jackie
