Monday Mantra: Om Gum Gurudevaya Namaha | Sanskrit: ॐ गुम् गुरुदेवाय नम

A mantra for guidance, clarity, and inner wisdom:
✨ Om – The universal vibration; calling in higher consciousness
✨ Gum – The seed sound of wisdom; removes inner obstacles
✨ Gurudevaya – The teacher within and around you
✨ Namaha – I bow in reverence

Chant this when you’re seeking direction or reconnecting with your intuition—especially during the darker, quieter days of December.

Sunday Surprise: The Snowfall Sound Meditation (If it’s not snowing, use a snowfall sound or visual.)

Snow naturally slows the world down, and tuning into its quiet presence brings instant calm.

How to Practice:
❄️ Sit near a window or play gentle snowfall sounds.
👂 Notice the hush, the softness, the subtle rhythm of winter.
🌬Take slow breaths, letting your breath match the peaceful pace of falling snow.

Snow invites us to soften. Even for a moment, letting winter’s quiet energy in can restore a deep sense of peace.

Saturday Self-Care: Protect Your Peace

Holiday expectations can get heavy. Today, lovingly set one gentle boundary, say no to something that drains you or yes to something that supports you.

You don’t have to do it all. You don’t have to be everything. Create a little space so you can actually enjoy this season.

Friday Funny at the Shala 🧘‍♀️

Why did Santa start doing yoga?
To help him sleigh his stress! 🎅🧘✨

Holiday hustle can take its toll, even on Santa. A few mindful breaths can help you sleigh your to-do list with a little more calm and a lot more joy.

Who is Chair Yoga for?
Honestly… almost everyone.

Chair Yoga is especially wonderful for:
Seniors
Anyone with limited mobility
Office workers
Complete beginners
Individuals managing chronic conditions

It helps build strength, improve flexibility, support balance, and ease stress... all with the stability and comfort of a chair. No getting up and down from the floor, no pressure… just accessible, supportive movement.

We had to cancel Chair Yoga class this morning at 11am, due to the storm - back on next week- come join us!

A gentle way to feel good in your body.

Thursday Thoughts & Philosophies: Light in the Darkness

As we adjust to the shorter days, we’re reminded that even the smallest light can shift an entire room and the same is true within us. Your kindness, your steadiness, your willingness to breathe before reacting… these are forms of light the world needs.

Where can you offer a little more light this week, to yourself or someone else?

Wednesday WorkIN: Softening Expectations

The holidays can bring a lot of expectations, of yourself, of others, of how everything “should” be. As you move through your practice today, release the weight of perfection and soften into what is.

Ask yourself:
✨ Where am I holding unrealistic expectations?
✨ How can I offer myself more compassion this season?

Let your mat be the place where you drop the pressure and return to ease. Your presence is enough. Your effort is enough. You are enough.

Tuesday Technique: Parivrtta Utkatasana (Revolved Chair Pose with Prayer Twist)

From Chair Pose, bring your palms together at your heart and gently twist, hooking your opposite elbow outside the knee. Lengthen through the spine with every inhale and deepen the twist with every exhale.

✨ Why We Love It:
This dynamic twist strengthens the legs and core while stimulating digestion and detoxification, perfect for grounding and rebalancing during a busy season.

Keep knees aligned, chest lifted, and breath steady as you find spaciousness within the twist.
