February 2018
As we move into February, (our last full month of winter!) we are riding the energy of the recent super moon blue moon eclipse!
Metaphysically, this is a time to release what is not working in your life, and to welcome in the next phase. What do you need to let go of, as the moon now begins to wane? What seeds do you want to plant within that can flower as we move closer to spring?
Yoga class on February 1 will focus on stimulating your creative energy as well as your meditative mind, so that you can realize the goals that you envision! Join us!
