The summer is such a playful time of year. Filled with graduation, vacations, long days filled with sunshine,

AND....

so many shifts in routines and rhythms.

This year inspired by the solstice, we're going to shine bright and celebrate the ENTIRE season with the theme "Go with the Flow."

***story interlude***

The beach is a magical place for me—the smell of the salt air, the sight of the horizon, the sound of the waves, and the feel of the sand. It's my happy place and a powerful reminder of life's true essence: going with the flow.

Just like the tides, life has its own rhythm. Sometimes the waves are calm and gentle, and other times they are powerful and challenging. Navigating these waves helps us find our strength, joy, and purpose.

As I write this, I'm not at the beach. Instead, I'm facing a significant challenge. My hometown, Houston, Texas, recently experienced its first tornado. It's devastating. Trees are uprooted, power lines are down, and broken glass covers the streets of our business district. This disaster reminds me how much life resembles the sea—full of ups and downs, unexpected events, and moments that can catch you off guard.

But it's not about fighting the current. It's about finding the balance to navigate these waves with grace.

***and we're back***

During this summer, I'll share stories of people who have embraced life's challenges and thrived. Throughout the season you'll hear / read about individuals who faced obstacles head-on and emerged stronger. I'll also highlight the "riding the wave" philosophy from the Kripalu Yoga Center.

I hope this season inspires you to get curious, stay grounded, remain calm, and find joy even in the face of change.

Until next time, embrace your own waves and go with the flow in work, wellness, and life.

Before you head off to reapply sunscreen I have some announcements to share:

New Schedule: we decided to take our own advice and unplug a bit this summer. During the season there will be limited live classes on the website. The last morning movement class will occur on June 19th and resume again on July 15th.

As a member you can always access classes on demand, here.

Don't have a membership, consider renting some of our classes or join the club.

As always thank you for being part of the crew.

With extreme warmth and gratitude,

Jessica
