New Beginnings

New Beginnings

Changing of the seasons is often our chance to reflect on where we've been and where we are headed. Some wait for the new year to create new goals or intentions, others set them throughout the year. 2020 seems to be a year of constant change and new beginnings...whether we asked for it not. It's just happening regardless of what we individually think or want. 2020 is here...and it's creating all kinds of opportunity. 
 
Maybe you found during your time at home that you lost sight of something you deeply loved in the years before. Caught up in the bustle and hustle that life became, maybe you are just starting to find a new way to enjoy life. To listen to your inner self and create space to be quiet. Maybe you've finally made that big decision to something daring or different. Something you thought was too far out of reach...like starting yoga for the first time. Or changing jobs...when right now seems like the worst time to be making any big changes. 
 
Well guess what. The only time you have, is now. 
 
If you're waiting to take on that new dream or idea...you've been given a gift in 2020. Even if it seems this constant change is unrelenting, what it's teaching us is that we can't control anything. The weather. The world around us. The reactions all this invokes in others. All we have is what we can do and how we live. So why not make whatever you are dreaming of doing part of you now?! 
 
We have a lot to celebrate in September. We're welcoming new teachers and saying good-bye, for now, to another dear teacher. We're finding many new faces entering our doors...and how wonderful it is to see our community continue to thrive and grow. We have a few outdoor yoga community classes this month and we'll be modifying our schedule in mid-September (stay tuned for more!). 
 
We start our next Yoga Nidra Challenge next week. If you want to join in, let me know! Send me an email: brooke@bukayoga.com 
 
As always, we are not a community without you. Thank you for making Buka Yoga a beautiful expression of laughter and love. 
 
~Namaste~
Brooke

We're so sad to see you go...
 
Many you have heard, but it's time to make it official (sigh). Gail, our beloved Gail, has decided to make a NEW BEGINNING and follow her dream to live in Cape Cod. Gail has been such an integral part of our community and we love the energy and heart she brings to every class. Her last day in the studio will be September 19, 2020 for her Gentle Class. 
 
Gail will keep her Gentle Class ONLINE ONLY once she's settled in Cape Cod, starting in early October. Claire will be stepping in to fill the in person class in the studio starting September 26. 
 
Stay tuned for our updated schedule later this month. 
 
Join me in wishing Gail all the best as she follows her new beginning.

"Brooke created this sacred space for us with her presence within her beautiful studio walls. She led us through a simple and thought-provoking process to create an intention during our time together and weaved it into our practice. In all my years of practicing, I have not had an experience that touched me so deeply and invited in healing." ~ yoga intention and yoga nidra semi-private
