Hello to all 125 of you!! Wow, Thank you for being apart of the early stages of The Pickin Pendulum's journey. In place of Movement Monday we will be practicing Stillness Monday today, May 4th. 💜✨ This is a time for you to give attention to your home practice. The very foundation of a healthy yoga practice often begins at home.

Take a moment however long your day allows, even if it's just 5 minutes to be still. When you are in this moment of stillness I invite you to "witness consciousness" let go of the over thinking, allow yourself to absorb the smells, sounds, and sensations of that moment by letting go of movement. In Patanjali's Yoga Sutra this is referred to as 🌟citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ🌟 "In yogic philosophy, citta refers to the field of mind that includes thoughts, memories, emotions, and impressions. Vṛttis are its movements or fluctuations. Nirodhaḥ does not mean destruction or elimination, but cessation of compulsive dominance."
Remember, the goal of stillness is not to be perfect, the goal is to practice stillness.

So please join me in practicing stillness today. Movement Monday will return next week.

Movement Monday! Come by the studio tonight to let go and flow! Hula hoops of all sizes, poi, staffs of all kinds and fans will be available to try out! This event is and always will be free!

What is a flow jam? By definition: "A flow jam is a community gathering for flow artists—such as hula hoopers, jugglers, and fire spinners—to practice, socialize, and share object manipulation skills in a welcoming, non-judgmental space."

Oh hey! It’s Natalie 💜 the heart behind The Pickin’ Pendulum. Standing next to me is my dear friend Eryka, owner/operator and certified badass of Empowermental Self Defense & Kickboxing.

I’m so excited to share that we’re officially combining magical forces and bringing our offerings together for the Dubuque community! If you know me, you know I believe in things unfolding when the stars align and this is one of those moments that’s been a long time coming.

I’m incredibly grateful to Eryka for opening her space to me when I shared that I was ready to step back into teaching yoga, but didn’t know where yet. She welcomed me in without hesitation, and that kind of support truly blew me away. After a few months of planning, the time is finally here to open our doors and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome you all in ✨

I’m offering a handful of classes to finish out April, with even more exciting offerings coming in May ✨stay tuned! ✨ Be sure to like, follow, and share so we can continue growing this community with love and intention together 💜
