Yoga & Wellness with Jackie

When life gets tough, lean in to your practice. For the past few months you’ve likely noticed I needed to step back to do follow my own advice. I’m still practicing and teaching and one space I have been holding onto is my offering at the library. It’s important to me that everyone can access the benefits of yoga, and thanks to Carroll County Public Library our community can. Let me know if I’ll see you this week or in August. Fall dates coming soon!

I am unfortunately down for the count with the flu😭
The amazing Becky Berg will lead library yoga tonight

I sure hope you are taking care of yourself this Valentines Day!

I’m back from watching my daughter take SILVER at her field hockey tournament! Join us inside, safe and warm from this wind as we ease into the week. Have questions? You can always ask in the comments below or DM me 😊👍🏻

Two different opportunities to join me for practice on Mondays, so which will you choose?

GENTLE YOGA- In our gentle yoga practice, we move through various seated and standing postures at a pace accessible to all. We use props to assist us in our practice and feel active muscle engagement.

RESTORATIVE YOGA- props are used to eliminate muscle tension and support us in poses for resting. We engage in breathwork, guided meditation, and relaxation.

Poet Becky Hemsley says it best. Sending love to anyone this resonates with this holiday.

Today is the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere! A time to celebrate the cycle of nature that sends us into a resting period. Today marks the longest night of the year. After today we begin our return to the light. How are you settling into this winter season?

It’s National Hot Cocoa Day! Another reason to get cozy. What do you put in yours?

For me, finding a dairy free hot cocoa is key- so we mix up our own family recipe with dark chocolate. I like to add marshmallows.

I've added the next 6 dates for FREE yoga at the Eldersburg Library to my page. Mark your calendar and join us- a lovely community is growing there. Dec. 28th will be a special offering as I will bring a more restorative vibe to our practice for a "long winter's nap".

I am thankful for each of you who allow me to lead you in yoga practice. Wishing you and yours a day of gratitude and togetherness.

My Restorative Yoga by Candlelight is shifting to Mondays after Thanksgiving. 11/22 is the last time you can catch this class on Wednesday before we shift to Monday evenings starting 11/27. A great way to bookend your Thanksgiving holiday.

Just like many of you, I am in the throes of parenting and I want to be present for the new experiences they are taking on. Oh yeah…and they usually need a ride too🤣

It’s NO-vember, what are you letting go of to make room to care for yourself?

For those of you who love restorative yoga, drop a comment below- what is your favorite thing about this practice ?

Make time for yourself and schedule a facilitated rest session with me one Wednesday night.

Join me today for practice at 5:30PM. The perfect way to ease into this week of back-to-school, back to routine!

We are OPEN for Gentle Yoga and Meditation today at 5:30. While you take a break from your labors, perhaps it is an opportunity to practice with us.Happy Labor Day to our community!
