🌊 SB Staycation Recap 🌊⁠
⁠
Last month’s Santa Barbara Staycation Retreat was an absolute blast! Massive thanks to our incredible crew from Manhattan Beach who journeyed north with love in their hearts, ready to immerse themselves in our beautiful Santa Barbara community. From soothing soundbaths to soul-nourishing nature walks, from coffee hangs at Drift to invigorating yoga sessions in the studio and park, every moment was filled with joy, connection, and rejuvenation.⁠
⁠
But wait, there’s more! We couldn’t resist the call of the chilly waters, so we grabbed our paddleboards and ventured out under the clouds. Okay, okay, maybe a few of us took an unexpected dip, but hey, that just added to the adventure! 🏄‍♂️💦⁠
⁠
Huge shoutouts to Justin, Greg, Annie, Natalie, Ellie, and Team for their unwavering dedication and hard work, ensuring every detail was perfect. And let’s not forget our fantastic hosts, the Drift & Mar Monte Hotels, for their warmth and hospitality throughout our stay. And of course, endless gratitude to the entire Santa Barbara team for making this retreat a memorable experience for all!⁠
⁠
Until next time, keep those hearts full and spirits high! 🌺☀️🙏

Exploring the HEART CHAKRA, Anahata, with these lovely souls at Kundalini with Paresh this morning! 💚 The heart, our 4th chakra, radiates GREEN energy from the heart space. It separates the lower more earthy chakras from the upper more spiritual chakras. Anahata Chakra is all about love—giving, receiving, and most importantly, self-love. 💫 Want to boost that heart chakra energy? Wear more green! 💚 Heart-opening poses like backbends and forward folds are key.

When you combine TCM and Ayurveda to your yoga practice, you’ll find heart centers all over the body — from your feet to your hands to your back to your tongue! Need a sound? The bija mantra to support and unblock the heart is “YAM.” Anahata Chakra is where it’s at! ✨

Happy April, Sol Seekers! 🌼⁠
⁠
This month’s studio theme, “A Saunter”, encourages us to get outside, soak up the Manhattan Beach sunshine, and spend some leisure time in nature. And no better month to get outdoors than in April when we celebrate Earth Day.⁠
⁠
To help support our theme, we encourage you to read this month’s beautifully blog written by Sol Seek Owner, Greg Cicchino. Greg is quite the avid outdoorsy type — visiting national parks and loving a hike as often as his feet can carry him on one. His insight this month is quite impactful — from the hike to the the yoga mat and beyond.⁠
⁠
We’d love to hear your thoughts! Comment below... what’s your favorite place or favorite type of a good old fashioned saunter?⁠
