August, late summer

August, the golden month of summer with her warm days and balmy dusky evenings. I do love the month of August, and it has nothing to do with it being my birthday month!

August brings abundance. Mother nature is at her fullest. Everything is in bloom and the world feels full of endless possibilities. The butterflies and bees are very busy indeed, and the first harvest is now in full swing with hay bales visibly strewn across golden fields against beautiful sunset backdrops.

It only makes sense that our bhav for the month of August is 'abundance'. It's that time of year to look at how far you have come and how abundant your life is. Celebrate all your achievements and small wins! Bask in this end of summer golden light. Recognise all the areas in your life that are fulfilling such as family, friends, hobbies, what brings you joy etc. We already are abundant we don't need to chase it and therefore our sanklapa for the month of August is 'I embody abundance in every thought, action and choice'.

Classes

There is a reduced class timetable over the month of August, but all classes still have spaces, so make sure you've booked your space. As a celebration of our abundance I'm also running two FREE classes on the field next to Parkland Drive weather permitting of course! They will be 6pm till 7pm on Wednesday 12th and Tuesday 25th August. No need to book just pop along with your mat and bottle of water.

Diffuser Blend

Our diffuser blend for this month is 'Peaceful Orchard', 3 drops of ylang-ylang to uplift our mood, 2 drops of frankincense for focus and 1 drop of orange for positive energy.

So enjoy these last few weeks of summer, the savasana of the summer. Allow this time to feel like a long leisurely exhale, smile and relax!

See you all very soon x
