Leap Kindness Challenge

 

Leap 30 Day Kindness Challenge and 11th Anniversary Celebration

 

This month is Leap’s 11th anniversary and we are looking forward to celebrating in a very special way! During the month of March we are launching Our Leap 30 Day Kindness Challenge!

Teachers, staff, and members of our Leap Community are invited to perform an act of service or kindness outside of regular daily routine each day for 30 days. Simply write down your act of kindness or journal it and put one dollar per service in you personal “till” each time you do it. At the end of the month you have two choices. Take the money from your till and do an act of service or kindness for yourself or donate it to the Leap pool, where we will donate all 100% of the funds to the Turkey-Syria Earthquake Relief Funds: https://www.directrelief.org/emergency/turkey-syria-earthquake/and Saint John’s Program for Real Change https://www.saintjohnsprogram.org/. 

We hope each of you will participate in the challenge as well. Just imagine what the ripple effect of these acts of kindness can make! 🙂

We are kicking this off on Wednesday March 1st, offering 2 FREE CLASSES, 4:30pm Kaiut and 6pm Vinyasa where students can invite friends and family to join.

At the end of the 30 days, on Saturday April 1st, we will have the culmination class at 5:00pm FREE where we will share some of the wonderful stories and personal experiences that occurred during the month.

This Class will be followed by a pizza party and a celebration of Leap’s 11th anniversary.

New Moon and Solar Eclipse

New Moon and Solar Eclipse

In the words of author and spiritual teacher, Eckhart Tolle, “You are here to enable the divine purpose of the Universe to unfold. That is how important you are!”

This past week has presented some unexpected and stressful challenges, for me. I’ve been riding the roller coaster of emotions, feeling it all. I’ve experienced moments of wondering why I do this work that I do. I’ve even questioned the path I am on. And yet, my trust has been restored over and over again this week.

Something really tender happened for me this morning…

I was leading a yoga practice at an addiction recovery center up in the mountains and hills of Northern, CA. There were 12 clients present today, which is quite larger than our normal crew. It started off a little rough, with lots of distractions around us. We moved through a sequence of poses, taking time in each one to feel the shape and explore the breath. Each person in the room was in a very different body and having a very different experience.

At the end of our yoga practice, I invited the group to lie on their backs for a guided meditation practice. As they laid there, supported by the ground beneath them, I observed each person in the room. One woman had her hands on her heart and a tender smile on her face. Another gentleman took up lots of space on his mat with his palms facing towards the sky; he looked open and ready to receive. Another woman seemed to be feeling an emotion; her face told me so. One man was curled up into a fetal position with his hands cradling his head, nurturing himself. Another man was having a very hard time being still, but I watched him soften and gradually relax through the process. And then there was the guy who was playing cards on his mat. 🙂 As I watched these beautiful humans together, I remembered why I do this work and how rewarding it is to watch humans just simply BE right where they are.

Something beautiful happens when we simply do our best, let go of fear and uncertainty, and lean into trust. When I open my heart and trust in LIFE, things naturally unfold in a way that is hard to put into words. I remember why I am here & why I do what I do.

I am so grateful for strangers, students, teachers, family and friends who show up to help me when I am in need, for the way in which Mother Nature so naturally teaches me, and for the organic way the universe manifests the mysteries of life!

In a few days, we will experience a new moon in which the energy of the moon helps us reflect on the past, set new intentions and envision new dreams. The energy of the new moon and solar eclipse is fresh, even inviting, and can remind us of what our soul came here to achieve. October’s moon is a partial solar eclipse, and so it can open us to the deep and mysterious caverns of our hearts that we’ve yet to explore. The spiritual meaning of the October 2022 new moon solar eclipse is to bring heart-centered transformations for all zodiac signs. During this phase of the moon cycle, it is a wonderful time to create or shift our heartfelt intentions and renew our trust in the magic of LIFE.
