SLOWING DOWN
Hello Everyone and Welcome to Fall!
This transition period is often met equally with resistance and acceptance to routine. I feel this push/pull daily in my household. My approach has been simply to feel how I am handling this time of transition. I am looking at my feelings, tone and mood in order to be clear about how I am showing up as I move through my days.
I recently came across the Japanese word “Yuton” which is the practice of intentionally slowing down to simply be, breathe, listen and appreciate the beauty of nature and life. Consciously creating space to relax, reflect, and integrate rather than being constantly busy or rushed. I find myself moving through periods of life addicted to my busy-ness or feeling like there is not enough time in the day. I am learning to pause and soften the anxiety that this brings up by reminding myself to enjoy the moment that is here and now. Days starting with meditation, movement, pranayama, guasha and face yoga, hydration, nutrition, reading, connecting, and enjoying are the practices that help me to stay steady and present in my every day.
Andrea and I are also deeply excited about our upcoming retreat in Tuscany and are diving into what we wish to share during this enriching, transformative week! We would love for you to join us on retreat, for private classes or a catch up over a matcha. Please reach out with questions on any and all!
With Love,
Christina and Andrea

BOOK RECOMMENDATION:
Ceremony
by Brianna Wiest
Ceremony by Brianna Wiest
This is a beautiful book that reminds us that we were not meant to fit into this world perfectly but to live in such a way that we might forge a path all on our own. It is a reminder that we are one with each other and nature itself. It is a reminder that we hold within us the latent potential of every future possibility we can conceive of. It is a reminder that we often must release what is not ours in order to receive what is, that we are all born with a unique imprint to leave upon the world, and that self-love is not an infatuation but a homecoming. You will love these easy to digest reminders of the beauty of our lives and we think this is the perfect girlfriend gift!
