We missed you...
...but we tried to have fun anyway!The retreat this past weekend (at Lake LBJ) was a huge success! Our group had a great time... full of playfulness, gratitude, nourishment, connection, and beauty. It is unanimous...we can't wait to do it again! Here is a glimpse at some of the highlight moments from our second annual Lakeside Yoga Retreat:
Don't worry, we have another one coming up!The next retreat won't be on a lake, but it will have many fun activities, amazing people, and delicious food (yes, Sally will be there)!

Ready to wine down?Come for the yoga, and stay for the wine (yes, I am aware that you may come for the wine and stay for the yoga) this Wednesday at Spring Creek Garden Center! Bring a mat and enjoy an all-level Yoga class from 5:30 to 6:25 pm on 9/25. Most of the time, I head back to the studio for our 7 pm class. But since it's the last Wednesday of the month, I'll stick around to have a drink on the porch after class at the garden center. Yes, that means we have to cancel the 7 pm class this week (9/25), but hopefully, you can join me for happy hour instead! Let me know you are coming by clicking the image below: Winnie wants to know...Have you been reading "The Labrador Pact"?

Sign up for good vibes this weekend! Prepare to bliss out at Hand Craft Yoga studio this Saturday with our once-a-month all-level yoga class from 9:30 to 10:30 am, followed by a sound bath with Cherie from 10:30 to 11:30 am. Come for one, or stay for both! Essentially, a sound bath is a meditative experience designed to “bathe” listeners in sound waves, using several instruments to create soothing, overlapping vibrations. It is possible that these vibrations could lead you deeper into a state...
So long, summer! Can you be-leaf it’s already almost fall? This Sunday, Sept 22, is the second time of the year that daytime and darkness are equal. This “Autumnal Equinox” marks the point at which nighttime gradually starts to outlast the day as we enter fall and move toward the darker seasons.
