Summertime, and the livings easy (hopefully)!
Dear Friends,
It’s happening: TruroYoga’s summer tribe is coming back together and steadily growing week to week. Stepping into the summer class schedule and seeing all of you brings me such delight, and I’m eager to spend the next ten weeks teaching and practicing with you!
It sure has been a strange and moody spring with sporadic weather changes and no distinct rhythm or flow. Global climate change sure is showing itself here with such unpredictable weather patterns, and the seasons have become blurrier by the year. I can’t help but reflect on how much has changed during the last thirty years here on the Outer Cape. It wasn’t too long ago that my family and friends would spend the winters ice-skating on nearby ponds and sledding the hills with our kids. Used to be that Memorial Day marked the start of summer for the locals, and by the afternoons, we would rush off to jump in the water for some relief from the heat. There is no doubt the weather has a real affect on our personal internal emotional weather. I’ve had to muster some motivation to stay positive during the chilly spring days and keep the faith that YES my vegetable garden will thrive at some point! Here we are, a couple weeks away from July 4th, and my energy is rising in anticipation for the upcoming summer festivities.
We had a spectacular retreat in Sardinia this past May. What a stunning place, with its majestic landscape, charming villages, delicious foods, and resilient culture & people. We got to see why Sardinia is considered a blue zone, a place in the world where people are known to live long, healthy lives.
I enjoyed every minute of traveling with this group of yogis; we instantly connected and savored our time of sharing and bonding, and most importantly, we had loads of fun! If you weren’t able to join us on retreat, be sure keep a pulse on TruroYoga’s upcoming adventures, and definitely add Sardinia to your travel bucket list.
Speaking of living a long, healthy life—my family and I are heading back from Quebec today where we celebrated my grandmother’s 100th birthday! She is a shining example of healthy living practices and continues to inspire me.
When I return, I’ll be in the full swing of our summer schedule with weekly classes at the Pamet Harbor Yacht & Tennis Club, Truro Vineyard, and Snow’s Park. I will be adding a location this summer: eight consecutive weeks of teaching at the Payomet Performing Arts Center while highlighting their featured artist with a music playlist as we practice. Stay tuned for details!
Hope to see you soon!
Happy Summer
