TGID

I cannot believe we are already stepping into the very last month of the year. I saw somewhere that December is like the Friday of the year, and honestly… I feel that. There is this playfulness, a softening around the edges, and an invitation to have a deep exhale.

With that in mind, I want to share a quick update about our schedule for the end of the year. There will be no "regular schedule" classes on December 22, 24, 29, or 31 (the last 2 weeks of the year).

But I am excited to offer something special in their place!

On Monday, December 22, and Monday, December 29, I will be offering two mini-retreat style classes. It will be a blend of fun flow, slow stretch, reflection, and deep rest, all sprinkled with that feeling of being in the right place at the right time.

Take this chance to reset, reconnect, and let your whole system soften before we step into a new year. More details and RSVP links are coming soon, but I wanted you to save the dates now.

While you have your calendar out!

Just a few reminders about our upcoming fun:

This Saturday, December 6, enjoy Yoga with me at 9:30 am, followed by a Sound Bath Experience with Cherie at 10:30 am. Come for one or stay for both! A perfect pause before the holiday busyness begins. Let me know you're coming to yoga by clicking below:

If you're staying for the sound bath, we highly recommend you bring extra pillows and blankets for maximum comfort and warmth. Save your spot by clicking the button below:

I'm so excited for our next round of Flow & Feast on Wednesday, December 10, at Spring Creek Garden Center! Come for an all-levels yoga class from 5:30 - 6:30 pm in their brand new Gathering Haus. You can RSVP for yoga at the garden by clicking the button below.

After class, you are welcome to mosey over to The Desert Spoon, their beautiful new on-site restaurant. They have a great menu and happy hour specials, so you can sip something small, stay for a feast, or pop in just to say hi. No expectations. Follow whatever feels good that evening.

If you want to join me at the Hand Craft Yoga table, just let me know. I will happily save you a seat.

Last but not least

We have a very special birthday in the house this week! Our one and only mascot, Winnie the Poodle, turns 15 this Friday, December 5. She has had a bit of a ruff year, but she continues to amaze me with her resilient spirit and steady strength.

I know our yoga classes do not feel quite the same without her, but I am so grateful that she got to join us as Teacher's Pet for as long as she did. Now that she's retired, she has even more time to take long naps with loud snores, snuggle mama, and lie in the sunshine.

Happy Birthday to my sweet girl!

Sending you warmth, good cheer, and that Friday-of-the-year feeling. Happy December!

With love,
Monica
