I had this conversation with one of my friends the other day...

This little move, where I'm pressing my fingers into the suboccipitals, 4 small muscles under the base of the skull, is telling me all I need to know about the world right now... People are stressed.

Be kind, be patient. Find joy in the sunrise, a warm cup of coffee on these cool mornings, maybe kitty cuddles.... But please take care of yourself.

September is Self Care month. What are you doing for you?

Hi! It's Mindy from Roots and Tides Massage and Yoga. And it's FUN FACT FRIDAY....

1. Did you know that hidden beneath my barefoot hippy exterior is a hidden high heel lover? Maybe it's because I'm 5 feet tall, but I love wearing heels. In fact, I'm always looking for ways to actually wear these boots.... Or any of my heels, really.

I know it doesn't quite vibe with my usual barefoot massage, yoga thing....flip flop/snowboard boots that I usually have on, but it's true.

Maybe it's because I grew up watching Melrose Place and I always loved how Amanda stalked into the office in her red power suit....

About last night....

Views from the yoga mat.

And absolutely, we practiced gomooookasana, aka cow faced pose.

After practice we had gelato.

We have one more week of Community Farm Yoga. Wednesday at 6pm !

What's community farm yoga? We hang out, do some yoga, check out local farms and eat, drink or pick treats.

Another one of my favorite things that I do is my Yoga and Massage for Mobility Package.

This is where you get the very best of me.... all of my knowledge over 700 hours of yoga training plus over 700 hours of massage training. Plus a lifetime of movement analysis.

This currently is offered a six session package where we work through something specific, like hip pain.

Together we design a plan that includes yoga, myofascial release, cupping (if it fits) and any other modalities that might help you achieve more mobility in a certain area.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in... reach out directly!

One of my favorite summer offerings...

SUP YOGA!

There's nothing better than being on the water, floating, being surrounded by nature and practicing yoga.

There's still three more opportunities to catch me this summer for SUP!
I'm at Bootlegger's Basin at 10am on Thursdays. All sign - ups are through the Smuggs website. Make sure you are on the SUMMER calendar and head to Water Fun. Rental board is included in the price. Please pre-register!

Plus on Monday, August 11th... I'll be in Waterbury at 5:30pm. Join me for an evening paddle and practice. This session is BYOBoard. Link in bio to register.

When I'm not massaging, you can find me teaching... depending on the season... any number of things. But one of my favorite things that I do in the summer is teach a Community Farm Yoga Series.

Each week, we check out a local farm, do some yoga, and then hang out. Sometimes we pick something from the farm like blueberries or flowers, sometimes we go for a walk and other times we eat gelato.

The yoga is a slow flow, designed for most folks. Just note that the ground can be uneven and we are sometimes in the sun. Although all classes start at 6pm.

Tonight we'll be at Bootlegger's Basin for Yoga and a Sauna session and next week we'll be for Yoga and Garden Mocktails.

If you caught my last post, you might know that I don't love giving relaxation massages... so you might be curious as to why I also give pre-natal massage sessions.

Well... from an anatomical perspective, there's nothing more interesting than a prenatal body that changes not only session to session, but really day to day.

I also have a pre-natal package option, so that you're not scrambling to find a pre-natal massage when you enter your third trimester. Contact me directly to purchase and save your spot!!

Link in bio has pricing and more details. Check it out!

RELAX ON MY TABLE

If you know me, you might know relaxation massages aren't my jam. As a former college athlete and a lifelong lover of movement and play... I like giving massages that are going to help athletes perform or recreational folks play.

However, I find myself being asked more and more by clients, if they can just chill. So... in the theme of making things inclusive.... I've created a relaxation massage that I like giving and includes ALL the things.

Choose your choice of massage lubricant and aromatherapy if you want... and relax on the table. Sessions include extra time for feet, face and scalp as well as a full body massage.

Want to be extra? You can add the crystal infused heat pack and turn the session into a wrap.
