“No mud, no lotus” - Thich Nhat Hanh

A lotus flower can only grow in the mud, and without the mud, the beauty of the lotus flower will not emerge. It is a symbol of purity and rebirth.

Just like in our lives, without first knowing suffering, we cannot come to know compassion, understanding and love. It is through the adversity that we experience in life that we can mature, grow and become more beautiful in our own ways 🪷✨

Yoga + Journaling is back ✨

Details:
Tuesday March 5
5:30pm-7pm
$20/person
Cala Azul

Please bring a journal/notebook and something to write with🌟

We want to say thank you to everyone who has come and practiced in this space in 2023, and we’re looking forward to continuing to share this space with the community here in San Juan del Sur - those passing through and those who live here.
We’re grateful to have this beautiful space, and to share the practice of yoga with you all. Cheers to 2024 ✨💙

We're excited to offer sound healing with Emilie.
If you're new to sound healing, here's a brief description: Sound healing brings balance to the body and whole being by using singing bowls, shamanic drums, and other instruments to stimulate your relaxation response, activating the parasympathetic nervous system. It can release stress, fatigue, and energetic blockages within the body, helping regulate blood pressure, hormones, and the nervous system. This promotes relaxation and connection with one's inner self.

Book your session with Emilie through us! ✨

Around our yoga platform, numerous hibiscus flower plants grace the surroundings🌺
Their beauty not only captivates but also serves as a poignant reminder. Hibiscus flowers bloom for just one day before gracefully falling, symbolizing the transient nature of time. This cycle encourages us to appreciate the present moment, emphasizing the importance of being fully present in the now, which is all that truly matters✨

We've made some exciting changes, now introducing our monthly pass. Drop-in classes are also still welcomed. See you on the mat! ✨

There’s a new face here at Cala Azul Yoga—we're welcoming Emilie starting next week. Here’s a little bit about Emilie and her yoga journey so you can get to know her better 💙

"I started my journey with yoga more than 10 years ago and it has really changed my relationship with my body, but also my way of understanding and living life in general.
After leaving my life in Paris and the cinema world for a more nomadic one, traveling through Asia and Australia in particular, I decided to become a yoga teacher. I wanted to be able to share all these beautiful discoveries that have helped to improve my daily life. I’m always enthusiastic to learn new things so I can then pass them on to my students. I love recharging in nature and being inspired by it. These last three years, mostly spent in Latin America, have strengthened my relationship with our planet and Pachamama. I have since completed training in soundhealing, cacao medicine and shamanic reiki.
I offer a yoga that invites you to reconnect with yourself and not only in a physical way.
My wish is to help others to listen and be in tune with our bodies, to adapt yoga to our needs and get the most benefits from it. Learning to find what makes us feel good with gentle flows, having fun at challenging ourselves or even exploring the medicine of sound during a restorative practice."

Join Carla and Rhi on Sunday, December 3rd, at 9:30 am for 1.5 hours of revitalizing asana and reflective journaling—deepen your yoga practice with this enriching session. We can’t wait to see you on the mat 🌞🧘‍♂️📓

Have you ever attended a yoga class that began or ended the class by chanting AUM (OM)?
Do you know the significance of AUM and why one might chant it?

Here’s a summary for you,
AUM is the sacred sound of the universe - it is the sound that contains all other sounds.
One reason to chant AUM is to connect us to the universal vibration - the vibrational energy that is within us and that connects us all.

AUM has three distinct syllables,
A - “aaah”sound, representing creation
U- “oooh” sound, representing preservation
M- “mmm” sound, similar to a humming sound, representing dissolution, or destruction
Finally, AUM is followed by silence representing the transcendental state.

For those who may not know, the photo we’ve shared is the symbol of AUM 🕉️

Thanks to everyone who joined and for yoga and journaling this past Sunday 💙 It was a great class and we’ll definitely do another one in the future ✨

Our schedule is newly planned until November, and Carla is currently enjoying a well-deserved vacation. Until her return, this will be our schedule. Looking forward to seeing you on the mat! ✨💙

Amidst the constant barrage of information flooding our lives, particularly through our phones, it holds great significance to carve out moments of stillness each day. As Martha Postlethwaite aptly puts it, it's an invitation to create a clearing within the dense forest of our lives.
Embrace this as an opportunity to create that space – a moment of stillness, to connect with your body, and to center your attention on the rhythm of your breath. As you do, assume the role of an observer for your thoughts, gently witnessing their flow.
A beautiful practice that can be done anytime and anywhere 💙

Schedule Update: Sunday's classes are now back to 9:30am ☀️
Join us to find balance and peace through our weekly yoga practice. 🧘💙

“Because happiness is like the musk deer. The ancient scriptures have a fable about this animal which has a scented spot above its forehead that gives off the musk fragrance. This deer runs here and there in search of the scent, not knowing the scent comes from its own”
-Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

So often, we look for our happiness from external sources. We become like deer, searching tirelessly from place to place, thing to thing, forgetting all the while that our happiness is with us. We forget that happiness is not something anyone (or anything) can give us nor take away from us. Tying our happiness to external sources will only lead us to disappointment.

Let this serve as a reminder that we are the source of our peace, happiness, and wellness 💙
