Just a little note...
To ask for your vote!Last week, I was notified that Hand Craft Yoga has been nominated for the 2024 Best of Bulverde/Spring Branch Award! The contest is intended to highlight locally owned and operated businesses and their services, as voted by the community. I'm so honored to be in the running! There are several categories and a bunch of awesome businesses listed. Check it out and give your favorites some love! While you're at it, vote for Hand Craft Yoga! ✅ A big Thank YouTHANK YOU for all of your donations to the "Christmas in July" Food Drive! We collected over 100 rolls of toilet paper to give to Provisions in Bulverde and checked off many other items on their wishlist. Way to go, team! Heads up for my garden friends:I just received notice from Spring Creek Garden Center that they won't be able to host our garden yoga class this Wednesday, 8/7, due to some construction. We apologize for the inconvenience! Maybe instead of garden yoga on Wednesday, you can come to one of the studio classes, either 12-1 pm(Basics) or 7-8:15 pm(Immersion). Have you heard about this Saturday?It's almost time for our once-a-month Saturday yoga class from 9:30 to 10:30 am. Join us this Saturday, August 10th! BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE: Right after the yoga class ends, plan to stay and enjoy a Sound Bath with Cherie Sisneros! Essentially, a sound bath is a meditative experience designed to “bathe” listeners in sound waves, using several instruments to create soothing, overlapping vibrations. It is possible that these vibrations could lead you deeper into a state of contemplation or relaxation, soothing the nervous system. There is only one way to find out! While this class is located at the Hand Craft Yoga studio, it is a separate class from my membership/passes. The sound bath is normally $20, but Cherie is giving a discount to Hand Craft yoga students! It will be $15 each, and you can pay her when you come to class.

Thanks for reading, y'all! I look forward to seeing you soon. With love, Monica |
Hi, I’m a creator
We welcomed winter Winter officially arrived this week, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year. From here, the light begins its quiet return, little by little. But first, we move through this deeper, cozier stretch of the season. That’s why it felt especially meaningful to gather together. To those of you who joined me for our mini-retreat yesterday… thank you. Truly. Hearing the mantras that surfaced, witnessing the honesty and intention in the room, and sharing that space...
Or... do you? I was listening to 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' the other day and got stuck on that line “You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer…”🎶 I realized… I don’t actually know them. But then I paused and thought about it a little more. Each reindeer has a distinct personality: energy, grace, confidence, heart, strength. When I look at it that way, I recognize every one of them. Maybe I do know them. Nerd alert: This thought excited me. So, in true Monica fashion, I took this idea...
Plug in to what lights you up This Saturday, I arrived at the studio for our morning classes and noticed a small tree sitting on the front desk. Its lights were off, but it had lights… so of course I turned it on. A tree with lights that aren’t glowing just feels a little sad, like it is waiting for permission to shine. A few minutes later, Cherie walked in and said, “Oh wow, I like that tree!” As we watched it slowly spin, we realized something magical: not only were the lights beautiful,...
