The Wild Plum

The further and deeper I go into my yoga journey, the more I realize how little yoga is about the shapes you make, the extent of your flexibility, the impressive backbends or handstands. Our western culture that obsesses over the physical has everyone convinced that is yoga. When the reality is, it is far more performative acrobatics. The real practice of yoga. Distilled down to its purest form, is presence.. connection. Compassionate awareness .. and non-judgment. It is a p...ractice, not a performance. And the moment you begin to think critically of what is happening on your mat, is the moment you lose the very beauty and purpose of this practice.

Falling out of balance doesn't matter, really and truly. How we deal with that moment and how we find our way back to center, every day, again and again - that is the practice of yoga ... it's about trusting that you will find your way. - Cyndi Lee A continuous return to center. To Self. To Truth.... The reason it is called p r a c t i c e .

Happy fall Thursday to you all! We’ve had quite a bit of messages coming in asking about our Reiki + Restore classes, how it works and its benefits. So wanted to share a bit about the healing art of Reiki. Reiki is an ancient form of energy healing that has been used for thousands of years. It’s current form was developed into a teachable method by a Japanese Buddhist, Mikao Usui in 1922. It comes from the Japanese words rei (universal) and ki (life energy). The aim durin...g a reiki session is to help improve the flow of life energy (Prana, Chi, Qi) in the physical and ethereal bodies - by removing energetic blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Instead of needles, a practitioner will use their hands as their tools, moving lightly over a clients head, neck, body, and limbs using specific hand symbols and intentions to clear stagnant blockages and and transmit healing. The benefits of reiki are profound and go hand in hand with a yoga practice, including: peaceful grounding relaxation calming of the nervous system reduces pain and inflammation assists in healing of wounds or injuries removing of harmful/low vibrational energies We are so thrilled to have amazing healers here at the Plum sharing this gift along side a restorative yoga practice every week! Come experience the bliss of our Reiki + Restore Mondays with Brianda at 8pm and Thursday with Tania at 7pm.

Good morning Plum Fam Many of you may or may not be aware of the attacks happening against the people of Armenia and their homeland by the Azerbaijani military. There has been a noticeable underreporting of the devastation happening and we feel it is our duty to spread awareness and offer our Armenian community our support and solidarity. No matter how bad things get here in the U.S is it essential that we never turn a blind eye to other atrocities happening in the world. ...As Dr. Martin Luther King once said Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Please read this post from our gifted Plum teacher @melinajan77 and stay tuned for some donation-based classes to help fundraise for peace efforts in Armenia! Please take a few seconds to read this and help spread the word. I have missed teaching so much and I hope to see your bodies on your mats soon. Thank you to @therapists_for_armenia for creating space for our community. Thank you to @wildplumwellness for the love and support and for standing with Armenia right now. #peaceforarmenians #artsakhstrong # credit: @armeniafund
