Week 24 — “Crown”
Hello Hello Hello Pilates People!
We have arrived at our final chakra and want to check in - how's the journey been for you? We started with your Root back on July 19th. Can you think back to where you were then? Where are you now? Has anything shifted?
And it's okay if the answer is no! But sometimes it's nice to look back and reflect, you know?
A few things to kick off this week:
Check in on our weekly announcements - Cassandra (and Cat) are taking some time away and our other friends are stepping Monday-Wednesday this week! C+C will be back in action on Friday, September 4th!
We will be running an adjusted schedule next Saturday/Sunday/Monday - again, check out our announcements for updates on that!
We've got 4 different events coming up in the next 6 weeks beginning with our monthly FREE Happy Hour on Friday, September 4th from 5-7pm! For more information and to sign up, please click here
We will be adjusting our class schedule for the fall beginning Tuesday, September 8th and would LOVE to hear from you! Please click hereto take a few moments to give us some feedback on what YOU want to see! (once you're done, we'll email you a promo code to get 25% off your next LIVE class and/or product {candles + keychains} purchase through Mindbody!! Totally worth the few minutes!!)
I just want to say our mantra this week one more time -
"The world is my teacher."
This one feels big. This one feels real in a way that we can connect to - tangibly. Right now.
This is the one that completes the cycle and feeds back in to the beginning again.
It's the circle of life...
and it moves us all! (Sorry, I had to...picture me holding Cat above my head and singing...it's a daily ritual now)
Anyways...
I've always had a fear and strong aversion to the idea of growing up - earning me the nickname "Tinkerbell" more than once.
There are a lot of things I've done to keep time at bay for as long as I can, but I think the most crucial one is the decision I made to never stop being curious, open and hungry for more information.
After all, it was Einstein who said, "Once you stop learning, you start dying."
And we can debate what was meant by the word, "dying"...or we can pause, think on it and (at least personally) realize that no matter what he was talking about, I don't want to die - in any sense.
I want to stay alive, curious, open, hungry and part of the circle for as long as I can.
If this year has done nothing else, it has absolutely proven that we all ALWAYS have SOMETHING to learn. And again, maybe this is a me thing, but this year more than any I can recall in my lifetime has shown that on a global level.
The world is our teacher.
And we have a right and (not to put any pressure on) a responsibility to look a little deeper and question it.
A right and a responsibility to stay curious.
So let's dive in this week, crowns on and ready to go knowing what we can about what we're approaching:
it's located on the top of your skull
the element is thought
the color is deep purple
the right is to know, to learn and to question
this chakra is in control of your understanding, divinity, union and transcendence
Never stop thinking.
Never stop learning.
And never grow up, friends.
It's so overrated.
Ask all the questions, as many as you can think of, and let's work through finding the answers...together!
All our love,
Cassandra + Pilates People
