Hey Reader,

December is here, and with it comes the invitation to slow down. As the days grow shorter and the air cooler, nature is a beautiful reminder of the power and importance of rest. Trees shed their leaves, animals hibernate, and the world takes a deep, collective pause. 🍃⛅️🍂

This December, I encourage you to find moments to move slower, breathe deeper, and honor this time of renewal. Make more time to reflect and more time for mindful meditations, movement, and breath. I will be incorporating this theme into our weekly flows and affirmations - join along online for now.

GENTLE HOLIDAY REMINDER:

The holiday season often brings a flurry of sales and gift guides, tempting us to buy more. While giving and receiving can be beautiful, yoga’s aparigraha reminds us to pause and ask: Does this truly serve me or bring joy?

By practicing mindful consumption, we make space in our lives, minds, and hearts for what matters most—shared moments, connection, and inner peace. Let your purchases align with your values and needs. And if you’re exploring gifts for yourself or others, remember that the most meaningful ones often nourish the body, mind, or spirit.

And if you are buying - remember that when you shop small business, a small business owner does a little happy dance ✨

Final words - as we move through this season, I invite you to:

• Create intentional moments of pause
• Practice gentle self-compassion
• Listen to your body's need for rest
• Embrace the beauty of stillness
• Consider mindful consumption

​

Sending love & light, from my heart to yours ✨

Best,

💛 Maria
