Hello %FIRSTNAME%,

In the wake of all the uncertainty once again upon us this holiday season, I wish to remind you that you are always home. Your body is your home, a present for you with every shifting breath, with every presence of mind, with every sensation we allow ourselves to feel. Whenever you feel lost or afraid or contempt or sad this home is waiting to let you in. All we need to do is remain coherent enough to choose to practice (yoga, meditation, art, etc). With practice we discover new possibilities of being and moving and breathing. With practice we learn to trust our personal experience and learn how to be in relationship not only with ourselves but also with others.

This holiday season, I give you permission to practice presence of mind, body, spirit. Below you'll find four free yoga practices to choose from, one or more of which you're bound to resonate with. I know you and those around you will be grateful you made space for yourself.

I recently launched my new website where you can sign up directly for my weekly online yoga classes. I've also added more membership options, including two yearly memberships to help you save even more money. All members get free access to my On Demand Video Library organised by class type - Gentle Hatha and Mindful Flow, Chair Yoga, and Yoga for Strength. If you don't have an hour or more to practice there are also videos under 30 minutes. More exclusive on demand content is coming early in 2022 (restorative yoga, self-massage, yoga with resistance bands, and more!).

If you're not a member I'm giving you a sneak peak into what the membership offers. I've added four classes for you to access for free using the discount code ICHOOSEPRESENCE. Go to my On Demand Library and you'll see each of them listed for sale for $1.00. No refunds are given if you forget to input the discount code, hence the super low price. :-) This offer is valid until January 17.

Choose any or all of the following classes from the On Demand Library to practice for free with the above discount code:

• Gentle Hatha - Yoga for All Levels
• Mindful Flow for Hip Mobility
• Chair Yoga - Strong Thighs for Healthy Knees
• Strong Flow - Strong Back, Core, and Shoulders

Looking for a last minute gift?

You can buy a 3 Class Pass or a 10 Class Pass for a friend from my website. Or maybe your friend would rather a private online yoga session with me? Simply click the box beside "gift this package" and a window opens for you to input their name, email address, and a message to send them your gift!

Holiday Schedule

If you still have unused class passes on your account I hope you'll join me in one of my live weekly online classes soon! Remember, if you can't join at class time you'll receive access to the recording.

All classes are on next week and then I'm off between Christmas and New Year's to enjoy some quiet time.

A Poem For You

I leave you with a poem to remind you to be present, to choose presence. You are a gift, after all.

Remember

give yourself permission to

hold space

be spacious

move stretch yawn

jiggle wiggle dance

bend squat bounce shake

make sound - aaaahhhhoooohheeeeehhhuuuuhhhiiiiihhhhaaaah

speak up

what do you need to say?

what do you need to hear?

speak from your kind heart

listen with your radiant mind

hear your heart sing

Big hugs,

Darcie
