Witchy Wednesday | Samhain, Shadow & Play 🎃🕯️
Hello dear yoginis and friends,
Spooky season is here, and I’m feeling inspired to bring more reverence, mischief, and magic into our practices this week.
As we move deeper into shadow season, many traditions make space for remembering loved ones who have passed, honoring ancestors, and celebrating the ways love and wisdom continue to live on through us. From Samhain to Halloween, Día de los Muertos, and All Saints’ Day, this time of year holds both mystery and remembrance - alongside plenty of room for color, creativity, and play.
So, I’m bringing a little Witchy Wednesday (named borrowed from a cleaver peer!!) to Heart Spring Health this week, with my seasonal Samhain Slow Flow in both afternoon yoga classes! Expect mindful movement, breath, sound, playful Halloween-inspired song & shapes, and intention setting to honor our dearly departed we hold close. Festively adorn or come as you are, all are welcome. You’re invited to bring a momento to the community altar if you wish.

In radiance & rest, with love & light. 🧡
