Yoga With Lauren is continuing their Flow + Restore at Insula Yoga . It's a grounding, nervous system regulating class. Sometimes Lauren brings her guitar, and it becomes a Live music class ✨️🌈🦋

"There comes a time when the most important thing in life is for us to allow something older and wiser to catch up to us, as if the only way forward involves a step back - away from the competing disasters of the world and into the dusky realms of imagination, where things take new shape before entering the barrenness and glare of the daily world. Those living at a particular time are never simply the denizens of history or the pawns of time, they are also the only possible recipients of the messages of eternity trying to slip into the world and sustain the discourse of the eternal drama of life, death and rebirth. Before a meaningful future can be found, something ancient and enduring about the world must be rediscovered. The balance of the future depends on the presence of ancient things. By turning within and growing down, we find the original mind and old soul within us. The old mind is the poetic core that is naturally abundant with ideas and images, that which remains eternally threaded to the animistic, altruistic, ever-abundant source of life." - Michael Meade, Why the World Doesn't End

Resourcing for the Leo Full Moon 🦁🌝 - https://mailchi.mp/82388cc996e8/resourcing-for-the-leo-full-moon How are you caring for yourself these days? This evening a quick drive down to Sunlight Beach after dark, blaring NIN Head Like a Hole was the intentional energy shift I needed. Metal cuts Wood and Water extinguishes Fire, after all. Have you noticed that certain music styles diffuse certain energetic moods, support mood shifts, or supports energetic focus? I discovered a whole new way to understand this during grad school studying TCM.

✨🧘‍♀️ Rhythm through Nervous System Support... ✨🧘‍♀️

Our Nervous System is wired to protect us and keep us safe during high stress and traumatic times. These days our world seems to be filled with opportunities for our nervous system to feel like it's working overtime. If it's in a constant state of protection, how can you thrive and get out of that mode?

We're able to go with the flow, connect with purpose, and evolve more easily when we feel safe in our bodies and world. Learning about the power of the Vagus Nerve and the Polyvagal Theory changed my life, helping me navigate chaos and rebuild life after Long COVID symptoms in 2020.

Saturday, January 24th, begins the first offering of a 6 session series to share what I learned from Dr Arielle Schwartz about the Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery.

You'll learn practices that you can take off of the mat into your daily life to reduce stress and create balance, growth, and resilience.

I hope to offer this series 4 more times this year and begin a weekly, ongoing Yoga for Balance, Growth, & Resilience class for participants who complete this foundational series.

Stress Reduction & Resilience Yoga 6 session series
Saturdays 4:30-5:45
✨January 24
✨Feb 7, 21
✨Mar 7, 14, 21

✨$132 or 3- $46 auto payments.

✨This class should be accessible by most.

✨ 🐐 🌚 On Sunday, we have a New Moon in Capricorn that encourages us to commit to investing in ourselves and future. It's ruled by Saturn, which gives us discipline, helps us take responsibility, and create structures that support success. It helps us see what's working and what's not.

This Saturday, I'm hosting the Moon Cycle Community Acupuncture sessions. The focus is to CREATE SCAFFOLDING for your energy flow in 2026. The pattern will inspire you to...

🪐 Drop into a deep state of rest, restore your soul, and rediscover your stability & power in the face of chaos & disillusionment
🪐 Trust appropriate timing, courageous action, and the gradual return of radiance
🪐 Cultivate perseverance & resilience
🪐 Supports & balances all 7 Chakras

2 spots remain at 4:30pm

The Moon will be in Capricorn from Friday at 3:46 am until Sunday at 2:17 pm, so if you can't make the times on Saturday or they sell out before you're able to book, I am open to adding a group session on Friday evening at 6 or Sunday afternoon. Please reach out if that interests you.

This is such great energy to be working with and the pattern is so supportive for the energy of the world. We can also work with this energy in a private session Friday or Sunday.

🌝 Connecting with the Moon's Cycle can bring in grounding, creative, nourishing energy & help bring a natural rhythm into your life 🌝

🌟 4 spots per session 🌟
🎱 Reservations Required 🎱
✨ 60 minute sessions at 12, 4:30, & 6 ✨
🌝 Moon Cycle Acupuncture sessions are $44
🌝 Zero gravity chairs with 1-3 other community members

Steady Scaffolding & Capricorn New Moon

In the final months of 2025, the words “Steady Scaffolding” kept arriving while my mind was quiet during yoga at the studio. It’s become my intention for not just 2026, but this whole 9 year cycle that began this year. This week leading up to the Capricorn New Moon on Sunday is a great time to plant seeds of your own for 2026 and the next 9 years...and finalize your letting go and shedding of the Wood Snake energy, which ends with the next New Moon on February 17th.

This year lays the foundation for the new 9 year cycle that will complete in 2035. What are you committing to that will help you evolve into who are you hoping to be in 9 years?

A key, steady scaffolding for me this year is creating my own alchemy. I'm so excited to be starting Lorie Dechar's year-long Alchemy Mentorship next month. So much changed for me last year, and in the first days of 2026, I can feel the continued clarity and evolution of how I show up as a collaborator in others' journey to transform and heal...to help you find rhythm, flow, purpose, & evolution.

Rhythm through the Science of Numbers...
Last week, I had a powerful remote Numerology + Alchemy session with a dear client back in Denver. We've been doing remote sessions for over two years, and the last few have been landing so powerfully. The collaboration with her has taught me how impactful this work can be, how it can guide us through challenging times, and that it's time to share this work with others.

The big take-aways for me:
✨ Staying tuned into the rhythm of the year, allows the wisdom to land and take shape
✨ Having a session with each planetary cycle, breaks down the year into 7 smaller phases to support the year's evolution (about every 7-8 weeks)
✨ Old patterns & beliefs, deeper meaning, and hidden threads of connection seem to come to light during the sessions
✨ It's WAY more than just a numerology reading. It's an intuitive flow that works through the lens of numerology
✨ Returning to a written report, helps to stay grounded in the purpose of the year's energy and allows for reflection & wisdom to land

Goodbye 2025, Welcome 2026 & Cancer Full Moon

I rarely catch the vibrant sunsets that we've been having lately because I'm still not expecting it to be before 4:30. Yesterday, I caught it, and, WOW, it was worth the 41 degrees without a proper coat. I still can't believe that I live here. I was grateful to catch this second to last sunset of 2025. What a year it has been.

This is the time of soul whispers. Are you listening? We are in the days when we look back at a year's path and experiences to reflect on how it went, how we showed up (or didn't), and how we lived our life. And we prepare for another year...thinking about what we want it to be, who we want to be, and how it might be different (or more of the same). Do you take the time to get still or quiet to hear your soul's whispers?

I invite you to honor the year's rhythm and connect with Winter's energy to find stillness, reflect, & listen. It doesn't need to be anything special. It can be as simple as pausing to reflect as the sun sets in the next few days or as it rises in the morning. It could be as the fog floats in or burns off or as you brush your teeth before bed or get settled in bed to drift off to sleep.

Just take a moment to honor that you lived another year & that you're showing up for another. Have gratitude, even if life has been hard. I am grateful that you are here, & your heart is grateful that you keep breathing to supply it with oxygen it needs to send out to the rest of your body.

If you're feeling called to do something a little more than pausing within your daily life. There is a Full Moon in Cancer on Saturday & Moon Cycle Community Acupuncture. It is a beautiful Moon to connect with the flow & rhythm of for 2026. The moon shows us that flow & rhythm happen every day. It grows in light every day until it's full & then grows smaller until it's dark. Change is part of who it is. It never stays the same.

It ebbs & flows. Our tides rise & fall in harmony with the moon's phases. As it reaches its peak, it completes a cycle. Cancer is ruled by the Moon. It's mother energy...how we care for ourselves, how we're nourished, & what feels nurturing.

🧘🏼‍♀️ End 2025 with a Mindful Practice that provides space to witness & share, to be & breathe, and for movement & stillness with a theme of releasing what's behind us & finding deeper loving presence with what's here & now.

💆 will gently guide you into moving slightly more slowly, in a candlelit room, and, as always, I will offer an essential oil experience with hands on touch savasana to enhance and elevate your experience. Lots of comfy props to keep you cozy and comfy in this space, but you are free to bring any additional blankets, pillows, eye pillows etc from home if you'd like. Bring a journal if you want to utilize some time to reflect on what you are working with.

🪷This space requires pre-registration due to size. This is a donation-based offering, so please don't hesitate to join if you feel called to this community and practice. *Pre-registration required https://practicetothepeople.com/classes
