Hello Loves! What a yoga session! We've moved from Love to Self-Love, Community Love, Platonic Love and now we're at Romantic Love. We just have a few more weeks focusing on Love. Take a moment to close your eyes and meditate with me in Romantic Love and, of course, I have a bit of homework for you. Enjoy! Love you, Melissa 💚

Happy Saturday Loves! I have a last few thoughts about Community Love to share with you and then we're moving into our first meditation around Platonic Love. Take some time to breath into the people in your live that share their lovingkindness, care and compassion with you, to those that you share yours and the beautiful friendships where it moves easily between you and another. Find a relaxing spot and close your eyes as you listen. THEN join me at ECM at KU in Lawrence, KS starting Tuesday, June 30th for Community Yoga. We're going to STREEEETCH, gently flow and practice a few restorative poses. Bring your own mat and any props you may want. Right after, at 11:30 we're creating more community with free coffee and pastries. It is the manifestation of focusing on Community Live the last few weeks. I love you! Melissa 💚💚💚

Happy Tuesday Loves!Our word for the session is Love and my word for the year is Magic. They are swirling together and flying around me in the absolute best way. I'm sharing the arch of my journey that's brought me to this moment. Today is a beautiful day of seeing everything I've been dreaming and asking for one to bear fruit. AND...it's my birthday month! How perfect is that?!?!I love you, I hope you enjoy, Melissa! 💚💚💚

Happy Tuesday Loves! I Love this time of year. After taking time for so much death and grief over the last few years, I'm eager to have a real and true birthday month. Recently I traveled a bit and had a few obstacles to posting and I'm so happy to be back and in the swing of things. I repeated the Self-Love meditation that we practiced in our Restorative Yoga pop-up last night. Take a moment to listen and get quiet for a short meditation to open your heart to yourself and get ready to send that energy out into your community. I love you, Melissa 💚

Happy Love! Yes, I meant to write that. We're focusing on Love and I MEAN happy Live! This is my favorite word that we focus on all year. Mostly the word changes and we repeat a word every few years. Love has become a word that we focus on every year at this time. Last year Love was our word for the whole yoga session. This year we're braking it down. We're looking at all the different kinds of Love that we experience and are confronted with. After taking time to get really present with all the sensations and memories that might have popped up, I want to invite you to breathe into your most important Love. Self-Love is tough for many of us. Take a moment to listen and let's jump in to some big Magical work! I love you, Melissa. 💚

Happy Tuesday loves! It's mid May and you know what that means? We're focusing on Love! I originally planned Love to coincide with Pride month. It was just a lovely coincidence that June is my birthday month. Now I can't imagine a better time of the year to practice Love. This first week of a new session I call getting clear. It's a way of feeling sensations in your body, in your heart and sparking memories and thoughts in your brain. We're working on getting clear about how you experience Love right now. You can try this again at the end of 8 weeks and see how it's different mind/body/spirit. Take a listen, do your homework (it's simple and fun, I promise) and then join us Saturday, 8:30a, ct on Zoom for Somatic Flow. We're opening our hearts and getting in touch with stuck emotions. You're going to LOVE IT! Enjoy! I Love you, Melissa 💚

Happy Tuesday Loves! We are in the last week of focusing on Santosha. We started the yoga session with an all-level definition of the word, Enough. Then we moved to the most commonly accepted definition, contentment. This last week, I'm inviting you to focus on and do work around a more complex definition, Peace. Listen as I lead you through a centering Santosha meditation and read, 1.33 from Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras. Breathe into Peace. Inhale Peace, Exhale Peace. Then I shared some liveliness from my weekend. I love you! Melissa 💚

Happy Friday Loves! Today we celebrate our wins from the week. This episode is a bit of a hodge-podge. It's been a hard week. I wanted to share that and also what tools and poses I've been using to manage a difficult time. Join us for pop-ups. Join us for Intro to Chakra Yoga and Root Chakra Yoga May 16. Love you, Melissa 💚

Happy April!Hahaha! I JUST realized that I said today was April 5th in this new episode. Today is actually the 6th. Happy Monday! It's the first Monday of a new month, lovelies. How are you? Are you enjoying the new energy of this renewal and rebirth season. I absolutely felt it hit and feeling more inspired and active. How do you when you can say I've Done Enough? We're exploring that feeling this week. On Thursday night we had a lovely full moon Restorative Yoga class and my heart was open and I felt the loveliness of that practice right before bed. What a gift to roll off the mat and say Ok! I'm ready to end the day, cause I've done enough. That feeling is hard for me. So, let's talk about it! Also, it's a Monday Meeting and I shared what's coming up this week. Join me for :Zoom Reset and Restore Yoga tonight (Monday) at 8:30p. Grocery Box filling and distribution Friday 4/10Zoom Saturday Somatic Flow 8:30aLove you all, Melissa! 💚

Happy March 19 Loves! I accidentally posted a September episode in place of this one. I'm so sorry. I'm not sure why I'm having such difficulty. Below is the original description I posted. Enjoy! Are wondering if you read that right? You did! We're starting a new season. Can you feel this new energy? I'm noticing my sleep patterns change. My appetite is changing. It's a brand new everything! I hope you're loving it as much as I am. I shared all the upcoming events and things to think about going forward with spring. Join us! Also, please share with your friends and family. Now that we're fully into Year of the Fire Horse and all its forward momentum, abundance and power energy, we are growing. I'm seeing past students return, friends I've known for a while FINALLY ask me about yoga. There are so many fun and exciting things coming up. So share the yumminess! Join us Saturday 3/21 for Zoom Somatic Yoga. At 8:30a. At 12p,, join us for Global Synchronization. Close your eyes wherever you are and meditate and/or chant on Peace, Love, Unity, Respect for 5 minutes. All times central. I love you! We're going to get thru this together. Melissa 💚
