Seeing Your Beautiful Faces by Lauren Hanna

Dear Community,

It has been so amazing to take off the masks, breathe together and see your beautiful faces back at Sonic!

It’s been a crazy year, but HALLELUJAH, we are back in action.  There is so much to celebrate, not only is the studio open and maskless but we are honoring 20 years of  the Sonic Yoga community.  

This newsletter is dedicated to all of you, our amazing, vibrant, loving, inspiring and passionate students who make up the unique and special community of Sonic Yoga.

Early summer is the time of year when we burst out of our winter cocoons and finally shed the last heaviness of winter.  We are now ready to open ourselves to new experiences and to indulge in full fruition the beauty & radiance of life.  And now with the Pandemic restrictions being lifted we all are feeling so grateful to be returning to normal. 

But what makes this time of year so gratifying is not just the gorgeous weather and freedom it brings, but the ability to commune and connect with our beloved family and friends.  

What is so special, now more than ever after a year of lockdown,  is that we have each other to share these experiences with, to play, party, laugh, dance and celebrate together.    

June is also the time of the Summer Solstice and this year on June 20 we will be celebrating the peak of light in the Northern Hemisphere.   

In traditional Pagan and Christian societies, the Solstice celebrations of Mid Summer and St. Johns day are beautiful celebrations of gathering together with family, friends & community to honor the light of the Sun as well as the light of St. John.  

I encourage you to embrace this glorious ritual of opening to the light within but of also honoring the outward radiance of your loving connections to family, friends and of course your fellow Yoga students.

Wishing you a beautiful entry to summer, may your days be blessed with an expanding inner light and may you also feel the love and gratitude of the expanding outer light of your community.

 May you honor the beauty of that connection and cherish all of the joy that it brings together In Person at Sonic Yoga.

May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all. 

Love to All,

Lauren
