Michelle Garcia, Hands on Healing & Yoga

Hi 👋 Sharing these fantastic thoughts from the latest Marigold Yoga newsletter because you might need to read it today.

I also wanted to take the opportunity to remind you (or invite you, if this is your first time seeing this) to join us for Yoga Nidra this Thursday. There's still plenty of virtual space available, and a few spots open at the studio if that's more your jam -- I'll be streaming into the studio very futuristically like that by the way 🛸😁✌️

Hope to see you all there! 🥰

Hi All! 👋🏻 As suggested by one of my lovely students at the yoga retreat this year, I’m bringing you a Yoga Nidra class right to your home. Best part about a virtual meditation class is that you can create your little nest with your favorite pillows and stay there as long as you’d like! *In studio option of a nest also available if that’s more your jam.

This meditation technique can be one of the easiest and most accessible yoga practices for students of any level, or none at all — beginners welcomed!

Cost: $20 (or $5 PWYC for those in financial hardship)
Virtual or In-Studio (*I will be streaming, but you can be in studio at Marigold Yoga)

Tell a friend! Hope to see you there🫶🏻

Estas son campanitas Tibetanas Tingsha. Su sonido y vibración me llenan de calma y paz. Me gusta mucho meditar con ellas porque facilitan mi estado de humor. Y tu, meditaste hoy?

Hi lovelies, quick update from yours truly. 🙋🏻‍♀️ For those of you who don’t know, I’ve embarked in leading a 200hr Spanish language adaptive and therapeutic based yoga teacher training with and this year. So incredibly lucky to have co-teaching with me and documenting the process along the way! (Gracias amiga!) 🙏🏻 Our trainees are incredibly special humans who will go out and bring joy and rest and resistance to the world.

May you be safe. May you find happy moments. May you find peace. ❤️

Hola hola! Aquí ya reportandome rápidamente. Para los que no lo saben, este año me he embarcado en liderar una formación en español de 200hrs para maestrxs de yoga en estilo adaptativo y terapéutico con y . ¡Qué suerte increíble tener a co-enseñando conmigo y documentando el proceso a lo largo del camino! (¡Gracias amiga!) 🙏🏻 Nuestras aprendices son seres humanos increíblemente especiales que saldrán y traerán alegría, descanso y resistencia al mundo.

I’ve returned safely from my essential trip to Mexico. Gotta admit that I immediately missed the sun upon landing and the cold was pretty jolting 😆 I’m feeling like a Chicago winter rookie at the moment. 🥶 It’s a good reminder to be gentle with transitions and adapt to what my body needs, ie. put on the heavy winter coat 😁

I hope you’re all keeping safe and washing your hands. This week I return to my regularly scheduled yoga classes. Missed all of your beautiful faces, hope to see you with and 🥰❤️

Black friends: I see you and your pain. Sending you love, but I want to do more.

My Restorative & Reiki class will be comped for you if you feel called to attend after yesterday's heartbreaking verdict. ❤

DM me (or ) to add you to the list.

Good morning! Buenos días! Teaching from home has been both a blessing and a real challenge, but I am incredibly lucky to be able to continue working during this pandemic. Gracias, to all those who support me, have checked in, and just plainly have my back. 🙏🏼

Everything is not ok, and I’d like to remind you that it is ok if you are not ok too. When it all feels like too much, try to touch something steady like a wall or the floor, and find your breath, focus on the movement it creates within your body.

Now for my pitch... 😬😉 this Friday I’m teaching a Restorative ad Reiki class with Ganesha Yoga Chicago at 7pm. I’d love for you to join me, as we try to give our minds, bodies, and souls a 75min break from the stress. 💛💜💚

Join us for a 75-minute class designed to facilitate rest and healing. Michelle Garcia will lead you into restorative poses that release physical tension as she performs distance Reiki, a gentle energy therapy technique for stress reduction, relaxation, emotional and energetic re-balancing and healing. Class will be held on Zoom. ⠀
You will need some props for class. You will need a chair, you can substitute two bed pillows for a bolster, plus have some kind of blanket (maybe two), and two things than can be used as sturdy blocks (a shoebox stuffed firmly with cloth works really well.)⠀
