The fourth and often most spectacular of the lunar phases is the Full Moon. The exuberance of the Full Moon is a powerful healing force. It sheds light on what is no longer serving us, making way for joy, abundance and our heart’s desires. Letting go of the old so we can add power to new intentions.

The gong bath enhances the releasing process. The gong is one of her oldest instruments and it has been used for healing, relaxation and meditation practices for centuries. All frequencies effect us at a cellular level. A Gongs Bath’s vibrational sound and frequency help reduce stress, alter consciousness and create a deep sense of peace and well being.

Session will begin with some gentle stretches to prepare the body, a brief meditation to set the process, then lay back and allow the sound and vibration to work your intentions through the process.

*Bring a yoga mat or two as you will be laying on the floor. Wear comfy clothes, bring water and a blanket and pillow if you like.

Every May, we celebrate Mother’s Day with the women who mean the most to us: our moms, grandmas, sisters, mother-in-laws, etc. We celebrate the many other woman who we owe so much to, and who have shaped us into the people we are today. The woman who have acted as mentors, advisors, teachers, friends and colleagues. Some of them are not even mothers in the conventional term, regardless, their maternal nature has made a positive impact on our lives and inevitably, in many other lives too.

So in honor of all of these wonderful women, bring the wonderful woman in your life to class for free. 💕

We were so honored to have Scottsdale City Councilor Tammy Caputi visit the studio on her S. Scottsdale small business tour. It was a breath of fresh air to hear her insights and as a business owner herself, to share ideas and feel supported and heard. Thank you Tammy, for all that you do to light up our city! 🙏🏻💜

SOUTH SCOTTSDALE SMALL BUSINESS TOUR

Two south Scottsdale residents invited me to meet with several small businesses in the South Scottsdale community that have been significantly impacted by the pandemic. I spent 2 hours touring and talking to the owners of Echo Coffee, Walter Art Gallery, Hot Yoga University, and Fate Brewery.

These are 4 small businesses in 4 different industries (coffee shop, art gallery, exercise studio, brewpub) that have all suffered during the initial shutdown stage of the pandemic, but have all managed to pivot. And thrive. They all received badly needed PPP loans from the federal government CARES act, and have reinvented themselves. They were doing a brisk Sunday afternoon business. A few expressed that the pandemic has forced them to get creative in ways that have expanded their customer base.

Walter Art Gallery has been broadcasting art classes that are allowing kids with compromised immune systems to participate from their homes. Echo Coffee has creatively increased seating. Fate Brewery is canning, selling beer to other outlets, and doing a busy outdoor business. Hot Yoga University is attracting new members who want to get healthy now more than ever.

All of these businesses expressed a deep sense of community. How giving back to the community was important to them, and was a big part of how they brought business back. The optimism and energy surpassed the coffee and artwork. Everyone crossed their fingers that things would continue to improve. I was so energized hearing what mattered to them, listening upward so we can craft policy that best fits the needs of our local businesses.

Our 3rd and final Charity Class is Saturday, December 19th at 3:00pm w/ benefiting

Mission:
Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation whose mission is to provide ongoing social, emotional, and financial support for families managing the health and well-being of a loved one with pediatric cancer.

Who we help:
Any family with a child battling pediatric cancer in the state of Arizona. In 2019 we helped 352 different families that have a cancer warrior. We offer support through our assistance, therapy, and sunshine programs. We are here for you.

Fundraising:
Overnight, COVID-19 turned many of our lives upside down. Causing a harsh sense of isolation, financial hardship, and fear of contagion. Now more than ever, we understand the feelings of loss and uncertainty children with cancer and their families feel every day.

Families whose children are diagnosed with pediatric cancer struggle to balance work and family responsibilities while trying to ensure that their child receives the best possible care. Parents and caregivers being unable to work to care for their child leads to loss of income. Expenses associated with diagnosis are incurred and dysfunction quickly becomes the new sense of normal.

82% of the families we serve are living in poverty.

Children with cancer and their families need and deserve guidance, a sense of community and resources in the fight to save a child's life.

We will be accepting:
-Cash donations
-Venmo (search Effie-Densberger)
-Gas/Grocery/Amazon Gift Cards
-Lego Sets
-New Toys
-LOL Dolls
-Headphones for teenagers

Your gift will provide immediate financial, emotional, and social relief to families affected by pediatric cancer.

This has been such an amazing experience and we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for all of your donations!!!

Bringing little or big traditions into your life can sprinkle your holiday season with a sense of purpose and fun!

Add some of your personal flare with an ornament or decoration that will go on our tree for the years to come! Our hope is that one day we’ll have to get more than one tree to showcase all the ornaments (& memories)!!! 🎄🎄

Meet Lauren , our new Pilates teacher!

1. When and how did you first start doing pilates?

I started taking hot pilates classes in 2017 and fell in love. At first, the classes were super challenging and as I took more I started to notice small changes off my mat mentally and physically. In 2018, I became certified to share my love with the larger community.

2. Why do you practice pilates?

To be present. When I am on my mat I let go and stop thinking. Pilates has helped me with having patience in myself and others. I also don’t mind the physical changes I see in my body from the hard work.

3. What's your favorite pilates class?

PyroPilates (biased I know). The sequence has a couple staple moves but you will never take the same class which keeps it fresh. Playlists are never the same and song requests are encouraged. Every muscle is worked and you are pushed to your max which keeps me wanting more!

4. How would you describe your teaching style?

It’s upbeat and fun. During the week I have to be serious for work so when I am teaching I try to make it feel like a sweaty party – good music, new moves and everything changes after a minute or so, you will never get bored.

5. What do you do in your spare time when you aren't teaching pilates?

My full-time job is working for a consulting firm doing business development and marketing. I also love to travel and try new restaurants. I am new to the area so I welcome all of your suggestions on hikes, food and anything else that Arizona is known for!

6. What are 3 things you are grateful for right now?

Getting a teaching position at the coolest studio in AZ, my family/friends and health.

7. What show are you binge watching right now? Or what are you reading?

Binging Girlfriends Guide to Divorce

8. Describe yourself in 3 words Adventurous. Strong. Thoughtful.

Catch Lauren in the hot room teaching PyroPILATES on Saturday’s & Sunday’s @ 10:30.

Welcome to the fam 🙏🏻😘
