THE ORIGINS OF YOGA

The origins of yoga are rooted in ancient Egypt. Join me for this fascinating talk this and practice led by dear friend, Founder, CEO and visionary of Afro Yoga, Angie Franklin

Saturday, August 21st
12:00 - 1:15 pm Pacific

Angie shares that, “Kemetic Yoga was developed through decades of research, study and translation of Ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) hieroglyphs and texts…. It's unique emphasis on spiritual rather than physical development sets it apart from Westernized styles of yoga and brings it back to the origins.

The goal of this practice is to move slow and intentionally, with heavy attention to the rhythm of breath, spinal alignment and sequencing.”

Angie will open with an inspiring talk before leading us into a beautiful, restorative practice for your nervous system. This is not one to miss!

You’ve read about the health benefits of meditation. Maybe you’ve even given it a shot once or twice, intending to find more peace and calm only to discover you can’t “clear your mind” which dominoes into more stress & irritation, resulting in your clenched fist shaking up at the sky, vowing: never again! 😂

A common misunderstanding that meditating = having zero thoughts has kept many of us westerners from finding the sweet spot. Annette explains that our mind is here to think. Getting to know yourself, examining what you’re thinking about without judgment, and developing tools like breath work to relax & quiet the mind, will help change your consciousness and resolve inner conflicts.

Join me with Annette Bailey this Saturday at 10 AM Pacific for Meditation II: The Power of Affirmation and Your Spiritual Growth. Cost is $20. DM to Zoom in!

Can we say tax season, anyone? Weston Bailey said: “Happiness is a willed experience” and “unhappiness is a willed experience.” This is a meaningful consideration, especially when it comes to how we manage stress!

Right in time for “T-Word” prep comes Annette Bailey’s unique talk on addressing stress. She says, “Predominant in the lives of almost everyone is stress. Studies have shown that stress can have a negative impact on our physical well-being. Becoming better balanced in our spiritual, emotional and mental natures each and every day can set you on a path of greater health and happiness. This class examines several keys to achieve success by addressing stress!”

It’s said how you show up on your mat is how you show up in life. I used to show up ready to sweat and push myself to my limit; see if I could hold the pose longer, stretch further, get stronger, more flexible, grow taller, and more enlightened in just under 90 minutes. When savasana was cued, I was a dripping, sweaty, hot exhausted mess with random thoughts about consuming too much wheat and needing more sleep still competing for headspace.

After a challenging period some years back, I turned inward, found patterns I wanted to change and ways I could manifest that expression through yoga. No longer just a form of bendy exercise, yoga became a vital respite that nourished my body, mind and spirit. I started playing with deepening my practice with specific essential oils. And in 2019, I took a deeper dive with a 200-hour training and became certified in Ta***ic Hatha Yoga.

I saw the creative potential in expanding the yoga + oils concept in a workshop series. Each of our classes feature three different oils to support your body, uplift your heart, and ease you into relaxation for savanasa. I am thrilled to be able to offer clients and new peeps these specialized classes and private sessions focusing on the therapeutic aspects of yoga and oils. We do three live-stream classes per month and I am super looking forward to returning to in-person classes when the time is right. See you on the mat!

Tax season. There are few words less sexy than the combo of those two. BUT! When you mix them with a diffusion of lemon, peppermint and rosemary essential oils, you’ll find yourself experiencing an invigorating recharge and upliftment. These oils work wonders to help you focus and capture all the write-offs you so deserve without wanting to either pull your hair out or down a bottle of gin. Or both.

Hip Opener Practice!

😂

Ok, we may not take it that far this Sunday (or ever)! But we can flow through a lovely sequence designed to bring greater circulation and range of motion to your all important hips.

Tight hips can overload your spine and low back, can affect your knees, ankles and feet, and can even affect your gait. Your hips are also an area that can hold suppressed emotions and stress.

Freeing up hip restrictions can energetically free up your creative juices, too! ! 🥰

Final Rest: Valor
