Happy Fri-yay 🌿 A Gentle Invitation for the Weekend
"Let this season be more than what you have kept going, with room for what needs time, rest, and space too."
— Morgan Harper Nichols
Happy Fri-yay dear friends,
As we head into the weekend, I wanted to offer a simple pause.
May this noon time hold room for a nourishing breath, a walk outside, a meaningful conversation, or simply a moment to notice what is already here.
Be. Here. Now.
As I've been reflecting about aliveness- that it isn't something we achieve—it is something we remember how to receive.
May we let that aliveness, presence find us today.
May we invite the gifts of the sun to come forward within us.
The sun is generous, consistent, and present. Our direct source of prana that is also within.
If your weekend has a little space in it, I'd love to invite you to join us tomorrow morning for our monthly outdoor gathering at Sellwood Park.
☀️ Saturday • 9:00 AM
Gentle Hatha Yoga • Fresh Air • Community • Refreshments
Class | 9:00–10:00 AM
Refreshments | Connection 10:00 - 10:30 AM
Reception: (503) 956-9396- Option 1, Option 0 to register. Walk up or Register.
Bring your mat, a cozy layer for the cool morning, and come as you are. Suggested contribution is $25, and as always, no one is turned away for lack of funds.
We'll move gently, breathe deeply, enjoy delicious treats prepared by our nutritionist Nikki- I'm super excited for these!! Lets spend a little time together outside.
And if tomorrow isn't the day, know that there are many opportunities to practice together throughout July. If you missed this month's reflections and summer offerings, you'll find the July letter below
I'll leave you with a few words from Mary Oliver:
"If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate. Give in to it."
May your weekend hold moments of sweetness, presence, and whatever helps you feel most alive. Time to both ponder whats to come and serve in the richness of today's soil.
Stay kind, enjoy the weekend, and I hope our paths cross soon.
With radiance & rest,
In love & light,
Maya
