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.

Choose your own adventure We talk a lot in class about listening to the body. Specifically, today’s body. Not yesterday’s, not last week’s, not the one doing different things on the mat next to you. Yesterday in class, I was on this subject and surprised myself with a new term: response–ability. As in, our ability to respond... and that we get to choose how we respond to each sensation. Not from comparison or pressure, but from awareness. This is what we are invited to practice. First, to...
And you’re invited One of my intentions this year is to do more of the things that make me feel really good… on purpose. Not accidentally. Not “if there’s time.” Intentionally. Something that surprised me when I made that list? Singing with other people. Now, to be clear: I have never been in a choir, and the idea of singing alone in front of anyone makes my stomach flip. Which feels important to name, because sometimes the things that make us feel the most alive are also the things that feel...
