Off the Beaten Path Yoga

04/07/2026

I was SOOOO happy to partner with Nancy Burroughs earlier this year to offer a special event combining yin yoga with her live, crystal singing bowl accompaniment at Vint Hill Yoga & Fitness. When Dana Wright first offered this opportunity to me, I did a double take and said, "What? Yes please."

Yin is a special practice on its own, but to pair it with crystal bowls takes it to another realm. And Nancy has a real talent for it. We are very excited to have another opportunity to bring this special energy to your practice with "Spring Renewal" on April 26th. Please come join us and see how this combination can benefit your personal health and wellbeing.

And be sure to reserve your space - it was waitlisted last time!

✨ Your Friendly Reminder to BREATHE ✨

just one breath
By Beth Kurland, PhD

When sadness appears
or grief tugs at my heart
or anger threatens to kidnap me
or fear begins to swallow me up,

it is my breath,
just this one breath,
in this moment
that arrives like a lifeline
to carry me to safe ground.

Harnessing the breath is a powerful countermeasure to the heavy burdens you carry. Stop scrolling for a minute and give yourself permission to breathe deeply, and release.

A New Year's Blessing

May this new year unfold with light and promise.
May your body feel strong, your mind feel clear
and your heart remain open to possibility.

May you awaken with purpose in your breath
and rest at night knowing you did enough.

May opportunity meet your effort,
patience walk beside ambition,
and challenges sharpen you
without ever hardening you.

May laughter arrive often and stay awhile.
May love, old and new, grow deeper, truer.

May you give freely without losing yourself,
and receive fully, without hesitation.

And when the road bends without warning,
may you trust the strength you’ve earned
and the wisdom you carry to guide you.

May this be a year of steady growth,
honest joy, and gentle courage,
a future that feels not only hopeful,
but open and welcoming too.

Here's your gentle reminder to embrace winter's stillness. ❄️

This reminds us that while the calendar urges us to start fresh in January, the natural world is still in a phase of deep rest. Its significance lies in validating the instinct to slow down, turn inward, and honor winter’s quieter rhythm instead of forcing growth. It invites a gentler, more nature‑aligned understanding of beginnings, one that starts in the roots before it ever reaches the bloom.

Shamanic Journey Invitation:
“In the quiet of winter’s deep rest, what wisdom do the roots of my being want to show me about the beginnings that are forming unseen?”

This question invites you to journey into the hidden, gestating places within yourself to discover the subtle beginnings that are taking shape beneath the surface long before they bloom.

Text on Image:
“The calendar may shout ‘begin,’ but the Earth whispers ‘rest.’ In winter’s stillness, we don’t rush to bloom, we tend the roots, dream the seeds, and trust the slow magic of becoming.

In January, we rest. 🩵

Day 7 of my advent.

A message so important to me I’m always finding ways to pass it on.

Say it. Always say it…you’ll never regret spreading joy and positivity. But may regret not doing it.

Sow seeds wherever you go, cast your love and watch it grow 🌱🌿
