Solstice Blessings & Summer Practices☀️🌿
Hello dear friends,
Solstice blessings to you.
Though the days slowly begin their descent, we still have months of beautiful shine ahead. Here in Portland, we're in for a toasty start to the week, followed by cooler temperatures and even a bit of rain later on. Ah, Portland.
I received from some beautiful peers, teachers, yoginis with weekend and as I arose this morning. Feeling especially grateful— sun, birdsong, space, and intention for harmony, focus & heart. Returning to the gift of yogic tools that help us return home to ourselves.
If you missed last week's letter, Summer Sings: Tending the Fire, Rooted in the Heart, I shared a seasonal reflection, soundscape, and offerings.
As we continue these summer days and find ourselves at the heart of this Year of the Fire Horse, may we tend our inner fire with care—nourishing our passions, responsibilities, relationships, and our own well-being.
As you meet your Monday, from my teacher's heart to yours, may you feel both calm and capable for the week ahead.
I'd love to practice with you!
