Community is a core value of mine and at a young age my community was dance. It brings me great joy to connect with my childhood dance studio, the Studio of Performing Arts in Grover Beach, Ca. Honoring the life of our dear friend, Samantha Ford (center red❤️) who’s legacy is one of courage and dance.
3 years prior to this picture taken she was diagnosed with cancer in the bone of her leg and had to amputate. Her prosthetic leg never slowed her down. Dance was an outlet for her to express herself. Sam passed away in 2010. We are holding the annual Remembering Sam Ford fundraising event to raise funds in Sam’s name, given to support childhood cancer research and dance scholarships. Come gather with us via Zoom 11/7 3-5pm, for dance & music!

Fire Element 🔥 feeling the HEAT with heartfelt prayers to the West Coast living through another terrible summer of fire, my family in California, and to the Firefighters, may you all be safe
Chinese Medicine connects the Fire Element to the Heart and Pericardium. The meridians of these organs start in the chest and run down the soft skin area of the arm to the middle and pinky fingers. Have you ever felt your palms on fire? A good balance is to cool the body with this Yin Heart Opener Pose
Grab a couch cushion or thick pillow and your favorite blanket. Place the cushion under your ribs and shoulder blades, so that you feel your chest is lifted higher than your hips. If you need support for you head, place your favorite blanket under your head thank you for my favorite blanket and your beauty
Rest you legs, sense your breath, feel your pulse
Stay as long as feels comfortable to you.

About Donica Schmidt, LAc

Donica Schmidt is the founder and owner of DS Acupuncture. She received with honors a Masters of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine from Yo San University in California. Shortly after, she moved to Portland to continue practicing. Before this, she graduated with a BFA in Dance from California State University, Long Beach.

Movement of the body led her curiosity to yoga. She received her 200-hour Yoga Certification in 2008 and has been practicing and teaching yoga ever since. She has also invested time studying other forms of physical healing through Thai Yoga Massage, the MELT Method and various forms of Qi Gong.

You can find Donica teaching at Drishti Yoga in Portland. Her style is inspired by movement and ranges from vinyasa to restorative. Combining her passions, she has developed a restorative yoga class with optional acupuncture given during the final resting pose, shavasana.
