Spring is here and I wish you blooming flowers, double rainbows, and hope for the future. (This was a daily view from the yoga studio in Dominica last December!- Yes! Rainbows every day!) It’s been a rough start to 2025, and the collective heaviness sometimes hangs in the yoga studio, too. There have been more tears than usual in yin and savasana, and lots of community hugs pre and post-practice. I am grateful for the space that yoga allows for expression, both physical and emotional. But what about joy? Does this heaviness preclude it? Gosh, I hope not. After a recent class, a group of yogis lingered to chat about the best strategies for ‘being ok’ during this rather unsettling era, and concluded, to my delight, that we MUST continue to find opportunities for laughter, connection, silliness, self care, and yes, HOPE and JOY! Please consider joining us for free Sunday Zoom classes, 4-5:30pm EST. We slow flow for an hour and then settle into 30 minutes of yin. My dog Maya often joins, infusing her own brand of joy, and though it’s not exactly the same vibe as being physically together, the class offers community. And, if you want 5 days of pure joy, please consider joining us in Dominica May 2-7. I am offering early Bird Pricing to ALL through April 8, which happens to be the day that Eric and I are moving to the mountains of Wautuaga County, NC. Future Retreats We are heading to the Baja Peninsula of Mexico in late June at the loveley Topia Retreat Center, and you can learn more today. Look for information on our Seva (service) Yoga Retreat. It will be a weekend retreat in the NC mountains where we will practice yoga, gratitude, and spend some time cleaning the ravaged rivers of Western NC. We haven’t cemented a date, but it will likely be in early June. Tell me where YOU would like to go on a yoga retreat! We are planning now and would love to hear your thoughts. Email goodjujuyoganc@gmail.com! Wishing you much Good JuJu, today and always. Amy
