Here is a bit of forest to inspire coolness :)

Friday Night Recovery Yoga is back at the park for Summer!

Join Amy Asch on Friday evenings from 7-8:15 pm

Recovery Yoga is an all-level yoga class that is open to anyone in any type of addiction recovery and anywhere on their recovery journey! In a sweet and welcoming space we dial into the energy of breath and tune into the transformational power of yoga! We will practice a Hatha style flow then settle into a more yin style with longer held postures. Lastly, we’ll have a meditation with a reading or theme in a circle and share our experiences of strength and hope. This is a donations-based class, please pay what you can.

Once you sign up for class you will see the details on where to meet.

No props provided, so please bring your own mat or towel to practice on outdoors.

products for your Home + Body altar

Hello dear friends,

I wanted to share with you that we have expanded our bookshelves to include some products for your altar and the altar of your body. I am only interested in sharing a very select few products with you that I personally use and love, that I feel are made honorably.

Crystals of amethyst, citrine, quartz, and honey calcite bring grounding, expansive pure energy to your home or altar.

Pure products made from Ula Botanic on Orcas, Island. I have brought these select products to our yoga home because I personally, wholeheartedly recommend them. I use the ritual mists daily. I even keep one in my car. I spray it on or near my face and take a deep breath in. Instantly I feel grounded and transformed. It’s a beautiful way to pause in a transition. The rose oil I use on my face and I feel uplifted. It actually brings me joy! Also, my skin loves it. The Dream oil is new to me. I have just given one to my daughter. I will let you know what she thinks :)

Soon we will also have Everyday Oil in stock. Wait til you smell this. You’ll want to wear it on your skin, in your hair, massage into your feet and share with friends. (I also keep one of these in my bag!)

I will order more books sometime soon. If you have anything you personally recommend or are looking for, please let me know.

I hope you enjoy our expanding selection of items to bring more harmony into your day.

With love,

Laela
