A student lugged in a cooler along with her yoga mat to her regular ChogaFlow class this week. She revealed the contents: a lei, a special order from Hawaii. At first glance, it did not seem so spectacular, but the student encouraged everyone to try it on...and that's when you discovered the true fragrance and the cool weight of the flowers. It was pure bliss, therapeutic, and what felt like a piece of heaven. This gift transformed my mood and my day. It took me out of my head and transformed me to be mindful of the present moment. With the lei on, you couldn't help but feel your spirit lift.
  
What brings you joy? And how can you share this joy with others? This student went out of her way to order the lei, carefully pack it, and bring it to those that she cares about, in order to share this special experience and lift others up. What could you share with someone this week, to bring joy and comfort? Whether it is your yoga class, a lesson in mindfulness, a smile, a joke, a special cup of coffee or some glorious flowers. It can be your gift to them, and you never know what impact that might have. (hint, scroll down & there's something special for your friends)
  
Ho-ho-ho, ha-ha-ha! Laughter is nature's stress-buster, so join us for Laughter Yoga on Saturday 7/30 at noon. It lifts our spirits with a happy high that makes us feel good and improves our behavior towards others. Laughter Yoga provides the opportunity to laugh, without reason and to enjoy the countless benefits to body and spirit that laughter offers.
  
Treat yourself to an evening of deep relaxation in Yoga, Breath & Sound with Andy McDonald and Niko on Friday, 8/5, 7:30p. This event will include mindful yoga and breathing to open your body and mind. Transition seamlessly from yoga into an extended lying-down sound relaxation/meditation accompanied by ancient Tibetan Bowls. The sound vibrations of the bowls will wash away any worries and concerns, leaving you feeling light, clear, peaceful, and refreshed.
  
Engage your body, mind and senses to develop awareness and cultivate presence in TaKeTiNa on Friday, 8/12 at 7p. TaKeTiNa is a musical and meditative workshop that reconnects us to our natural rhythmic ability. All are welcome- TaKeTiNa is beginner friendly!
 
Be a light in the darkness. Shine your light of love and compassion on your neighbor, your community, your hometown. MoveStudio will donate 10% of all Single drop-in and Class Pass sales during the month of July to the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation. The Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation assists the families of police officers killed or seriously injured in the line-of-duty. May they find some comfort and peace through the support of our community.
