Joy? Now? Yes! Let’s spend this day grounded in gratitude and recharge ourselves on every level. Ananda is the Sanskrit word I understand to mean “unwavering bliss”. The experience of Ananda is said to be a direct outcome of our practice. Cultivating and making space for joy and celebration can help us breathe new life into our lives. Experiencing joy promotes health, wellness and our ability to serve others.
We will use our time on the mat, with each other, in nature and in exploration of herbal allies to help light us up from within. What a beautiful way to line up with the solar power of the Solstice! We will have an all-levels yoga practice in the morning. Our afternoon will include an “Herbal Spa” – complete with powerful ways to use our plant friends and guides to help us relax, renew, heal and en-joy! You’ll leave with some herbal goodies that we will make ourselves.
Those who identify as women are welcome.

It became apparent in the first five minutes that Olynda was the real thing.
I first met Olynda as a surprise sub for my regular Sunday morning class. Subbing for a group that’s been together for a long time (like 8 years) can be daunting, but it became apparent in the first five minutes that Olynda was the real thing. She subsequently went on to lead our office yoga program for more than two years, and saw our group through the darkest days of the recession. Throughout, she built a genuine rapport with a very diverse and idiosyncratic group of practitioners and was extremely flexible around scheduling and payment. Hawaii’s gain is New York’s loss!
