Did you know it this morning when you awoke?

An inkling of possibility bubbling up from the earth, a new spray of crocus and daffodils unfolding their petals, robins singing their arrival and with it the first day of Spring? It is finally here – the Spring Equinox and official beginning of Spring! Signs have been everywhere for weeks – have you felt your mood lighten, fresh thoughts coming unbidden, and a greater sense of aliveness?

We are inextricably linked to the change of seasons and the shift in energy it creates. Spring is the time to shed the mantle of winter that holds us closed inside, to instead venture outside to explore the awakening of the Earth and ourselves. It is the time of the year to lighten up – freshen our diet with foods that cleanse our body, increase our outdoor time with energizing movement, and plant seeds in the ground to bear fruit later. It is also the time to prepare ourselves to plant seeds of good intentions, create projects, and explore something new in our lives.

SPRING! It is time to celebrate new beginnings!

This week MSY enters our 15th year in Middletown Valley! It has been quite a wonderful journey and many of you have been there for all of it. However, this past year has taken a serious toll on the studio as it has on many of your lives. I invite you now to return to the studio as your home of wellness and connection, of healing and growth. We have really missed you and need your presence to make our community whole. Bring your friends to help to rebuild classes and increase our offerings. Help the studio move forward from the constriction of the past year, to once again thrive and serve more people in the community. Without your presence, the future is far less bright and certain.

With eternal gratitude for all our current students and hope for more students to join us in the celebration of Spring!
