I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful and don't forget to make some art, write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can.

From full classes at the start of the year to a pandemic full-on shutdown and pivo...ting to online classes through it all YOU, our amazing students stood by Sweet Serenity with your constant support and encouragement! THANK YOU!

Here we are at December's Cold Full Moon, shutting the door on centuries of Earth energy. Jupiter and Saturn have kindly moved us into the spacious energy of Air for the next twenty years, giving us a brilliant opportunity to shift out of a state of self-destruction... if we so choose! Planets have quieted going into this moon with Venus energy spreading emotions at the moment. Life may be slowing and even stalling. The best approach is to let it. Appreciate the peace, give l...ots of room for feeling, enjoy the lull after a LONGGGGG time of crazy chaos. The winter solstice, the great conjunction and this year end full moon swings the door wide open to release old, warn out ways. It's much easier to let go of behaviours and beliefs that are not serving you NOW. You may find yourself ready to release "stuff" that you no longer need or want as well. It's time to take inventory on the perceptions you automatically slide into. We are each responsible for what our mind is thinking and doing. This is the time to make a change and learn to see things differently! This new year is a warm welcoming space to observe your most frequent states of mind. You are invited to seriously invest in your spiritual and emotional fitness. Your consciousness is expanding to allow a broader view, including recognizing the barriers your perspectives create. This is a safe place to embrace healing your mind and your heart (which heals your body too). Living with ease and grace is landing at your feet. What will you do, step over or embrace? Crystals to hangout with right now: Clear Quartz - Programmability, amplification on one's intention, magnification of ambient energies, clearing, cleansing, healing, memory enhancement Bumblebee Jasper - Creative manifestation, adventure, mental acuity, personal power, confidence Pyrite - Masculine energy, manifestation, action, vitality, willpower, creativity, confidence . . . . #sweetserenityyoga #fullmoon #makeachange #crystals #healing #selfcare #releasetheold #growth #selflove #wellness #mindfulness #health #mentalhealth #supportlocalbc #northdelta

"We have made some changes so that we can accommodate all the government-mandated guidelines and bring you all your favorite offerings in a safe and socially distanced space that not only will keep you feeling secure but allow you to move freely within your space and get that body moving! You will notice some new names and some new fusion classes interspersed throughout the schedule that have a focus on strengthening and elongati...ng the muscles so that you still feel the burn and get your sweat on without tipping into aerobic fitness levels. These creative modifications have allowed us to be open across the board for our entire schedule! We look forward to seeing you in person on January 2nd to get you started on the right foot for your wellness journey! Don't forget to sign up for our 21 JumpStart! challenge!" - Jenine

The busiest shopping season of the year is upon us. Our inboxes are brimming with deals from businesses vying for our dollars. While there’s no indication that the pandemic will stop anytime soon, the way we shop has definitely changed. This year's has seen an increase in online shopping and adaption of alternative delivery methods of services such as virtual and video-on-demand classes. But what the pandemic has also uncoveredcall it a silver liningis an increased sense of... community. We are all in this together. And our communities rely on the small businesses at the heart of them. Small business owners, such as ourselves, have been hit especially hard by the measures and government mandates set to keep people safe. Many of us have been forced to close our doors not only during the first, but now second wave. We, as a global community, can secure the futures of these resilient small businesses and help them shine. This holiday season consider diverting your dollars from big-box stores to local businessesyou may even discover a new favorite destination for buying gifts. .

Time to Celebrate the Winter Solstice - Monday, December 21, 2020 The Winter Solstice is such a special opportunity to begin a mindfulness entry into the upcoming new year! NOW is the time to let go of everything standing in your way. The TRUE nature of letting go, is Self Forgiveness.... You hold all the power for everything you experience. How your partner is treating you, what your children are doing, how your parents, coworkers and friends are showing up, is a trigger for the egos culturally programmed mindset to move in and reek havoc. Ego pushes your perception in the direction of blame, guilt and shame. It is how you ARE viewing others and NOT viewing yourself that creates the since that others are responsible. That's not possible. The responsibility for your thoughts and feelings is 100% YOU - 0% others. Solstice mantras... "Spirit help me to forgive myself for allowing others behaviors to attack myself and separate from your Love." - Nouk Sanchez "I am sorry for holding others responsible for how I feel. Please forgive me for allowing ego to rule my thoughts. I Love the amazing being that I am! Thank you for showing me how to let Spirit lead every minute of my life." - Ho'oponopono We are experiencing the Great Conjunction as Jupiter & Saturn Align in Aquarius. Is this crazy cosmic energy going to slow down? NOPE... Humanity has gone so far down the rabbit hole of fear, that we have left the Universe no other choice but to rearrange the planets. Please understand that this intensity offers assistance toward salvation. 2020 is the end of a twenty year period that is bringing ALL our destructive programming to the surface. As we enter this next twenty year cycle held by Aquarius, we have the opportunity for resolution, a path to our species' salvation. Jupiter and Saturn are now shifting from a state of Transition to a seated Conjunction. The energy moves us away from earth influence to air influence. This is going to shake up or obsession with physical attachments and compel us to advance psychological and social maturity. The new position of these planets, expands creativity and imagination that can inspire a whole new way of living life on Earth. We are in this together. Let's embrace this gift from the cosmos by taking every opportunity to truly spread Love. The commitment we make to release the madness and devote ourselves to personal inner peace, CHANGES THE WORLD. Observe yourself, forgive yourself, share Love.

"A sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again" ~Joseph Campbell A sacred space is a small area, alter, or room in your home where you can escape and re-connect with your best qualities, your intentions, your dreams.... When we have a sacred space in our home, it allows us to remember how we want to "be" in the world, which is especially important today when technology often leaves us all a bit attention-deficit. By nourishing ourselves with consistent loving attention our inner divine begins to grow and blossom. Creating your sacred space is a meditation in itself. As you arrange furniture or objects in a way that you find most beautiful, you are participating in a form of art that connects directly with your soul. But, creating the sacred space is really just the beginning. Once it is created, the most important thing is that you nurture this space on a regular basis. See it as a 'garden' for growing your inner goddess. Visit this space daily to remind yourself 'You exist. You're valued. You matter'. . What do you have in your home for a sacred space? . . . . . . #sweetserenityyoga #alter #innergodess #sacredspace #escape #bethelight #grounding #soul #wellness #mindfulness #health #mentalhealth #instahealth #instafit #yogastudio #yogalife #selfcare #chill #chakras #energyhealing #supportlocalbc

*New on the Blog* - In the Making.... . "How do we stop the descent into total depletion and exhaustion? By focusing on what we can control. Many things have happened and are continuing to happen that are completely outside of our control. It all makes a person feel very small and ineffective, doesn’t it?... Seems like a good time to remind you that you are both infinitely powerful and valuable, so let us change our perception and start to own it.

Thank you Barre Intensity! Looking forward to my continued training as Master Trainer with this incredible Barre powerhouse!

Home work out space expectation vs. reality . . For some there is a definite lack of space for others a lack of privacy. For some, exercising at home is something they never wanted to consider and for others it’s been a dream. Many different lives, all faced with the same obstacle, to adapt to unpredictable circumstances. .... . We are in our homes and we need to lean into our well-being more than ever. We need to dedicate ourselves to daily practices of self love. Being kind, hydrating, moving, laughing, being creative, eating well, being present. . . Each persons space will be different, but we are ALL working with that we got! Please do not let the absence of perfection to stop you from doing what is necessary to improve your health, stay well or start a journey to wellness. . .
