Hey June

Published 3 days ago • 1 min read

It's time for a spotlight!

I am excited to share Hand Craft Yoga's June Student Spotlight...Anastassia! It has been so much fun getting to know her as we've shared wine, yoga, and a lot of laughter! Please read on for her thoughtful insights:

What is your favorite part of yoga?
​My favorite part of yoga is the ability to quiet the constant voice in my head and be fully present with the moving, and the breathing. My mind goes blank every time I’m practicing and it feels like the greatest of self cares!

How long have you been practicing yoga?
​I’ve done yoga on and off since college ( 15 years and counting!) from bikram to goat, from NYC to Bermuda. I love how every single time you can learn something new and even the same position will feel very differently from day to day.

What is something yoga has helped you overcome?​
My own thoughts of not being good enough. As some one who has battled infertility, I’ve struggled with feeling less than. Yoga is a soothing balm for my soul and it anchors me like nothing else. Also, it has given me a sense of community and belonging that I haven’t found anywhere else.

Do you have any words of advice for a brand-new beginner?
​Go with the flow and don’t be afraid to hand craft your yoga ;)

What is one fun fact that we may not know about you?
​I speak three languages but never learned to ride a bicycle!

Thank you for sharing your practice with us, Anastassia!

A new book

Winnie wants to know: Do you want to join our book club this time around? We have officially selected our next book: "Hello Beautiful" by Ann Napolitano.

If you've been waiting for a historical fiction that was inspired by Little Women and was Oprah Winfrey's 100th book club selection, this is the book for you!

If you want to join the book club, read the book and save the date for the snack and chat to discuss "Hello Beautiful" on Thursday, June 26th, from Noon to 1:45 pm.

Just a reminder: our Saturday morning classes will be on June 14 at Trilogy this month (not June 7!). I look forward to seeing you soon!

With love,

Monica

Add a new prop to your collection! With no space to store 30 bolsters, it is time to downsize my assortment of cylindrical and rectangular cushions. Bolsters are great for relieving tension in the lower back when placed under the knees or thighs. They can be used in many ways to add comfort and support to your yoga practice. The big bolsters (navy/purple) are $20 each. The smaller green bolsters are $10 each. If you're interested, please reply to this email and let me know! We did it! We had...
