Winnie got her stitches out!

And her infection has cleared up! I am so happy that my girl is feeling better again! Thanks for all the love and healing support.

AND we rescheduled Laughter Yoga-- it's tomorrow!!!

I'm happy to invite you to a Laughter Yoga session on Wednesday, April 9th from 1:15 to 2 pm.

In this lighthearted, 45-minute session, you can expect to practice intentional laughter exercises and breathing techniques. To learn more about the science of laughter, check out this website, Introduction to Gelotology (no, not Italian ice cream!).

It's time for a new spotlight!!

I'm excited to introduce you to our April Student Spotlight...Julieta E! We've shared so many fun times together through classes, book club, workshops, and retreats. And we're kindred spirits in our love of handcrafting (check out the collage she made below--only the head is her!). Read on for her thoughtful insights:

What is your favorite part of yoga?

My favorite part of Yoga is glute Bridge rollups, slow movement of the pelvis up and down, vertebrae by vertebrae.

How long have you been practicing (in general / with Monica)?

I found Monica and her Yoga teachings in 2018 and I am most grateful! The first class went smoothly and it was easy to follow that I kept my eyes closed until the end.

What is something that yoga has helped you overcome?

Yoga has helped me strengthen my core, lower back and my posture has improved greatly.

Do you have any words of advice for a brand-new beginner?

My advice for those that are new to Yoga is, make Yoga part of your life, just as going to church or visiting the therapist would be.

What is one fun fact that we may not know about you?

A fun fact about me is... I like to use my chainsaw to get rid of Juniper when I can.

Thank you for sharing your practice with us, Julieta!

You've read this far...

Maybe you're ready for a new book? Winnie wants to know: Do you want to join our book club? We have officially selected "The Murmur of Bees" by Sofia Segovia.

To paraphrase the summary: Historical fiction + Bees + Psychic powers!

If you want to join the book club, read the book! And plan to join us for the snack and chat to discuss "The Murmur of Bees" on Thursday, May 8th, from Noon to 1:45 pm.

Have a beautiful week!

With love,

Monica
