Our Story of Creation

Snowy Cedar Center for Wellness was born out of pure coincidence; strategic alignment of the planets; travels; people met along the way; some unfortunate, rather rocky circumstances; happy trees (thanks to a childhood fascination with Bob Ross); the obscene amount of rocks I collect; and a series of moves from the rocky shores of Duluth on Lake Superior to the quite shores of Gladstone on Lake Michigan and back to Lake Superior in Marquette before finally settling in the Keweenaw Peninsula in the middle of Lake Superior. But, what’s most imperative is that throughout it all, yoga, reiki, sound meditation, and hiking have been consistent practices in grounding, rooting, and finding freedom in movement. My goal is simple: to help you plant your own roots and allow energy to travel into you, through you, and out into the world. We will practice yoga together, allow the energies of the world to shift us through reiki, listen to sounds of instruments and nature that alter our vibrations by spending time outdoors together, and most importantly, build a community of wellness. This is Snowy Cedar Center for Wellness where you are enabled to be rooted, strong, and stable. Welcome to Snowy Cedar Center for Wellness, proudly headquartered in Hancock, Michigan, and happily traveling across the Western UP to bring you yoga, reiki, sound meditation, and hiking since 2019.

This Wednesday, September 24th, the 5:30pm Mindful Midweek Mix practice will be a yin yoga class focused on opening your heart (and hips for fall hikes) to welcome autumn. Prepare for quieter days as you bring your attention inward and hold poses to reach into your fascia, ligaments, and tendons. Yin Yoga may help with lymph movement, joint mobility, softening tension in muscle and fascia tissues, and releasing trauma that may be stored in the body. Props and guided breathing will support students as they settle into poses making this class appropriate for everyone from beginners to regular yoga practitioners looking to slow down and turn their attention inward. See you at 5:30pm!

Join Brigitte and Julie at this afternoon’s workshop at Fresh Coast Yoga to Rest & Recharge! It’ll be a perfect way to start your fall and week off feeling renewed. Plus, it’s super cozy in the studio on rainy days!

If it’s still raining tonight, Tea & Tarot will be kicking off at 6pm at Fresh Coast Yoga with Allison and Jess. Even more cozy studio vibes!

Weather permitting, I’ll be hosting Sunset Soma Yoga at Calumet Waterworks Park at 7pm through my small business Snowy Cedar Center for Wellness. Even if it’s rainy, hopefully we can snag a shelter for the class, so come on out. Only two more opportunities to bask in the glorious fall sunset skies and practice soma yoga!

We’re a day late with this post, but we hope you enjoyed collecting rocks yesterday on our favorite day of the year.

Did you know that collecting rocks can be your yoga? It often is for us! Anything that brings you to a peaceful, calm state of connection with yourself is yoga.

Happy Belated National Collect Rocks Day!

Last night’s Sunset Soma Yoga at Calumet Waterworks was so peaceful. Warm sun, gentle waves, and soft sand brought connection to the earth. Perhaps it’s in grounding through the senses with only appreciation for the earth that we learn to let go and become part of all that surrounds us. Thank you, Earth, for this opportunity to experience simply being.

Join us next week at 7pm! Let’s hope this beautiful fall weather holds on a bit longer.

Did you know your ribs can move? Often we get “stuck” holding our bodies upright, and sitting at a desk all day only compounds that tension. The lungs are also a resting place for grief, and creating mobility in the ribcage can provide not only light effortlessness in the breath but also a release of stagnation in the emotional body. Finding freedom in the breath is a key component to practicing yoga. Let’s explore it together tonight. See you at 5:30pm.

Always a student of yoga first. 🧡

This is how I’m spending the next three Wednesday nights after teaching yoga. How have I never learned with before now?!? Viniyoga appears similar to soma yoga in many ways, yet different in its own way. Gary is a wealth of knowledge and experience. I’m already looking forward to next week!

Our Story of Creation: Yoga as a Rock

(and a Happy Rock at that!)

Happy Rock Yoga was born out of pure coincidence; strategic alignment of the planets; my travels; the people I met along the way; some unfortunate, rather rocky circumstances; happy trees (thanks to my childhood fascination with Bob Ross); the obscene amount of rocks I collect; and a move from the rocky shores of Duluth on Lake Superior to the quite shores of Happy Rock on Lake Michigan. But, what’s most imperative is that throughout it all, yoga, reiki, sound meditation, and hiking have become the rocks that ground me, root me, and make me...well, me.

My goal is simple: to help you become you own rock by growing your roots and allowing energy to travel into you, through you, and out into the world. We will practice yoga together, allow the energies of the world to shift us through reiki, listen to sounds of instruments and nature that alter our vibrations, spend time in nature together, and most importantly, build a community of wellness. This is Happy Rock Yoga where you are enabled to be blissful, be simple, be YOU.

Welcome to Happy Rock Yoga, proudly headquartered in Gladstone, Michigan, and happily rocking across the Central UP to bring you yoga, reiki, sound meditation, and nature hikes since 2019.
