From Baggage to Blessings

Dear Yogi,   

 My hubby “Guru Stu” and I are facilitating a very special workshop on Saturday,  March 21st from 2pm to 430pm  at Bella Prana Yoga in Tampa called "From Baggage to Blessings."  We were inspired to create this workshop with each if you in mind.  We all find ourselves holding onto things that are weighing us down. We all have had situations where we feel like we have been given the wrong or unfair hand in life.

  • How many times in our lives have we found ourselves clinging onto the known, and making excuses for why we are not going for it and living our dreams fully?

  • Has something happened in the past that shapes your decisions today?

  • Is there something that keeps you from being your true self, wearing masks for others?

 Join Stu and I (Retreat Journeys yoga retreat leaders) for a ‘mini’ retreat for this two hour multi-dimensional & experiential workshop and learn to step back, identify the baggage you are carrying around, explore what’s in there and get the tools on how to work through it, release it, and receive its blessings.

 We will journal, share, do some yoga and meditation to release what is weighing you down and create some space to lighten your load and consciously select what you carry around with you...to feel more free and open to be you!   


Come with a journal and pen, your mat,  yoga clothes and an open heart. Please forward this to someone who might need it as well :)

Dearest Yogi,

Make your Valentine's Day date now! Join me and my hubby, Stu Smith at Bella Prana for a special Valentine's Day couples Partner Yoga and Thai Massage Workshop. Come out to play, explore, and give and receive love from each other!I thought I'd just write down some thoughts about how I see love, enjoy!

 
What is love?

 It comes in many forms…..

 There is crazy in love, romantic love where there are butterflies and highs, but there are other forms of love too! What happens 15 years later to this romantic love? How do you keep that spark you had when you first met?

 Commit to loving yourself and each other in every moment!

 Love yourself without judgement exactly as you are in this moment.  From that place, opening your heart to every other moment in your life.

 Being present - enjoying each moment as it passes you buy - to fully participate - Be there for yourself, each other and others in your life during the highest joys and the lowest lows - after all - life is a journey!

 Love is….
 
  • Taking time for yourself when you need it to recharge, re-connect and re-focus

  • Noticing that small little move in a co-worker and asking if they are ok

  • Taking the time to have that special phone call with a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while

  • Reaching out to someone when you have that tug at your heart to see how they are doing

  • Being there in the middle of the night when your child can’t sleep

  • Putting up boundaries for yourself and others when you feel that it is needed

  • Stopping and really listening to someone and hearing what they are saying

  • Looking a stranger in the eye with a clear heart

  • Reaching out to someone in need to serve them in some way even when it might not serve you in that moment

  • Giving of your time, your presence and your spirit

  • Giving someone a gift or a hug - just because!

  • Being there for your spouse in the every day moments - putting down the to do list for a little time every day and REALLY BEING there for each other

  • Reaching outside your comfort zone to allow yourself to play and have fun!

  • Allowing yourself to be seen, without the mask, in every day to everyone you meet

  • Trust - have faith in yourself, your higher power, and in humanity

 Live with an open heart - to give and receive the gifts in every moment….


That’s what LOVE is!
