Rose Hips Mindful Movement

07/28/2024

Rose Hips Mindful Movement is moving to Salem! Classes will be online-only for a little while as we settle into our new home. During this transition, 5-class and 10-class passes will not be available, but single sessions of Yoga for Grownups will be offered virtually on Mondays at 5:30 for the discounted 10-class-pass rate of $9 per class (registration link in comments).

Thank you, North Bend! I got to practice with so many lovely people here at the AKI Studio and Gallery, and I am truly grateful to all of you! And to those of you who are transitioning online with me, I look forward to seeing you on Zoom!

We had some sunny moments this weekend, and the daffodils are starting to push through the soil and open their faces to the sun. I am of a mind to do the same, metaphorically speaking, even though the rain is back. Today’s practice will help us gather the end-of-winter energy that begins to stir in us, and begin to stretch and strengthen for sunnier days ahead. We will keep feeding and watering our fascia and honoring our nervous systems and our need for peace and rest in movement, but the juices are flowing and we reach for the sun - spring is on its way!

It’s been such a special experience doing yoga amidst all of Kevin Eckerman’s gorgeous photography this month. If you’d like to come meet the creator, his artist’s reception is this Thursday from 7-9 pm! I hope to see you there!

I’m extra excited about today’s practice, inspired by this weather…⚡️🌩️⛈️

It’s all about holding yourself with confidence and steadiness in the midst of the storm. We’ll anchor in our own strength, allowing us to relax with ease.

Yoga for Grownups, Mondays at 5:30

What a nice way to support a local small business AND free up time to spend with family on the holiday.

Our Thanksgiving meals give you more time with your loved ones, time to enjoy what Thanksgiving is all about. We will save your hours of time shopping, prep, cooking, and cleaning!! What is your time worth? You are also paying it forward by helping a small business, and its employees.

Have you ever practiced Moon Salutations? 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔This lovely sequence of poses was developed by the women of the Kripalu Yoga Fellowship in the 1980s. Full of round and juicy movements, waxing and waning like the lunar cycle, Moon Salutations are still nowhere near as well-known as modern yoga’s ubiquitous Sun Salutations. But they are so much fun - building lateral hip strength and engaging the mind in a non-linear pattern - and they feel great! Let’s practice both Sun and Moon Salutations on Thursday at 5:30 in honor of this weekend’s upcoming annular eclipse!

Tonight! (Wednesday). What a fun and talented artist!

Tomorrow night is the Big Event! AKI invites everyone to come and meet Fabulous Josie Keating. Here's a few words from Josie, herself.

My friend Josie has been helping me stop taking life so darn seriously since about 2005, and it is fun to see the way this fearless, irreverent show has the same effect on people! AKI Studio and Gallery is open to the public in the evenings from 7-9 on Tuesday through Saturday, so wander down for a playful, artful attitude adjustment after dinner at Wildflour Public House or the Liberty Pub. AKI also has daytime hours on Tuesday and Wednesday, making it a great stop to combine with a lunch visit to the The Tin Thistle Cafe. We could all use more art in our lives, and we could definitely use more fun and whimsy. Josie’s show delivers all of that and more!

It feels like change is in the air! New routines, new milestones, cooler mornings, a certain crispness; all of this will be here before we know it. One thing I love about yoga is the way it helps us learn to hold our center, like a big rock in a stream, even when everything around us is in transition. Let’s practice today with a gentle flow and explore holding stillness with ease and joy in the face of change. Fall in Love with Yoga, Thursdays at 5:30 at the AKI Studio and Gallery in downtown North Bend. Register at rosehipsmindfulmovement.com
