What emotional response do you have when you hear the first Christmas song on the radio or find the first red and green or snowflake-patterned holiday decorations at the store?
Does a delighted smile break out on your face? Or do your shoulders scrunch up to your ears and your stomach tighten as the to-do lists start to generate in your already overwhelmed mind?
If you live in my corner of the world, you’re more likely to be in the latter group. (And yes, I have already heard Christmas programming advertised on the radio and it’s only November 2nd as I type this.)
The good news is that you DO have the power to reclaim this time of year as a joyful, rather than stress-filled, season!
Join us next Wednesday, November 8, at 7 PM to learn how to Stay Ahead of Holiday Stress With Mindfulness and Restorative Movement.
My dear friend Carolyn Bagdoyan, therapeutic yoga instructor and owner of Heart Tree Yoga, LLC, and I developed this interactive program last year. Participants’ response was so positive that we can’t wait to offer it again.
The workshop will give you the tools to approach the holidays with presence, intention, and a focus on self-care. Hosted by Grass Roots Fitness in Vienna, VA, this event will help you put on your own oxygen mask first so that you can be your best self for your loved ones and create the holiday experience that YOU desire.
Spaces are limited, so pre-registration is strongly advised (we don’t want to have to turn anyone away!). This workshop is less than a week away, so take the first intentional step toward a joyful holiday season by signing up today! For full details and to register, click the “Yes Please!” link below.
