How are you? I hope that you and yours are doing well this holiday season. This is a tender one for me as my siblings and I face our first Christmas without our mother. It is hard to imagine that such an amazing presence is really gone.
For the past year and a half, the health of my mother has been at the center of my life and the lives of my sisters and brother. I am an optimist and ever hopeful for healing and miracles. I have come to understand that with my spiritual gifts, at a deep inner level, I do not perceive death as real. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it simply changes form.
My sweet Mother is no longer in pain and has rejoined her ancestors. What a gift it is to be able to see and know that this is true as my Grandmother and Great Grandmother have been very close the past couple of years.
During my intense time of stress and grief, I found great strength, resilience, and comfort in my kundalini yoga practice. This unique yoga utilizes specific movements, mantras and meditations that work deep into the energy, nervous and endocrine systems.
This clears the trauma of the subconscious mind held in the physical and energetic bodies creating resilience so that you can be the calm in the chaos of our world. I am grateful to be sharing this practice at Sanctuary Yoga on Fridays at 10am. You are welcome to come anytime. Click here to sign up.
I do have some updates to share.
I have been offered a small office space that is connected to the Kalamazoo Center of Healing Arts (which owns the Institute of Massage Education). The new owner, Shawn Compau, is generously sharing a small office with me. It is such a joy to be able to schedule face-to-face client consultations again. Please understand that I have been slow getting it furnished and ready as the opportunity came at a time when my mother’s health was failing. The office address is 5320 Holiday Terrace, Suite 7E, Kalamazoo, Michigan 49009.
Tuning In 2023 is scheduled
for January 1st, 2023 from 12pm to 4pm. Depending on the size of the group, we will meet in my new office or utilize the classroom at the Massage School, which is just across the hall in Suite 5.
I offered this class virtually last year and I found it very unsatisfying. I was unable to address the questions and needs of everyone who joined. It has always been my policy to be able to attend to those who come to my gatherings and to flow with their needs. I am really looking forward to coming together irl (in real life) to tune into the numerological and astrological energies of 2023. Most importantly, it is my honor to hold space for everyone who joins so that we may release 2022 and bless the best for 2023. This is a sacred and practical practice to sanctify the new year.
I will soon share my insights on the energy of 2023. There are a few major shifts as Jupiter and Saturn will change signs. Jupiter will bless and expand the fire initiating energy of Aries and Saturn will impose discipline and structure to the watery spirit of Pisces. It is always good to know ahead of time so that you can align yourself in the flow and harmonize your intentions. For more information, look to the house location of those signs to better understand what is expanding and what is contracting in your life this year.
In my work, I have come to see – again and again – that we have great power and influence over the direction of our lives. This is especially true when we center, refine, and guide our energies in the direction of our greatest good.
In honor of the season, I want to offer a coupon code with a 20% discount for any class or service. At checkout, enter save20. The code is good until January 1, 2023. Enjoy!

In honor of the new year, new packages for many of my services have been created to include a new monthly yoga membership. Check the packages out here.
May you be happy and healthy this holiday season. May you know that you are honored and valued. May all be well.
Wishing you much joy and many blessings!
With love,
Robin
