Introducing our first specialty class series:
Yoga and the Gentle Tarot
Join me online Wednesday nights from 5:30 - 7pm in sacred time and space for a Gentle Evening Yoga practice (yes, I can teach Gentle yoga :)) with meditation, self-reflection and connection. This new weekly class is online only and will be based upon and inspired by Mariza Ryce Aparicio-Tovar’s THE GENTLE TAROT. You can drop in when it’s convenient or join my Wednesday Night Wisdom Club and commit to a weekly sacred circle in a supportive community.
In this class/series we will follow a path through the Major Arcana which are the first 22 cards in the Tarot deck. Arcana means a “secret or a mystery” and the Major Arcana cards represent significant life events and our bigger spiritual challenges and life lessons. Unlike using the Tarot in a classical sense (picking a random card or cards/day), each week we will follow the order of the Major Arcana beginning with the lessons of the Fool card and ending with Maritza’s additional Major Arcana card: The Unseen. Each practice will be inspired by the wisdom of each card, there will be gentle yoga asana (movement), meditation, journaling and time for discussion if you want to stay and share :)
Why THE GENTLE TAROT?
Tarot is a centuries old divination system that can be an important tool for self-discovery, wisdom, and deepening your spiritual knowledge. I’ve used the Tarot and other oracle cards as part of my spiritual practice for decades and they truly are a potent tool ofinsight, support, clarity, connection to your intuition and wisdom. This winter I was guided to a particularly beautiful and moving deck, THE GENTLE TAROT, by a Mexican and Native American artist, Mariza Ryce Aparicio-Tovar. From her website: “Her work explores issues of mental health and self-awareness, advocating care for our planet and ourselves, so that collectively we may experience our full potential.” Her perspective resonates so deeply with the teachings of yoga and Ayurveda and will powerfully deepen your practice and enrich your life. I absolutely promise this.
This deck’s wisdom and art went straight to my heart and I am inspired (and with Mariza’s blessing) to offer this Wednesday evening class using her deck as our text and inspiration.

So, how does this work?
If you want to just drop in to any of the classes, I’d love to have you anytime (read on for payment information). You don’t need to buy the deck and book but... it’s so beautiful and inspiring you might just want to support your evolution and this amazing woman of color in her work.
Click to Purchase Her Deck with Small Guidebook
I would highly recommend that you purchase her Full Size Guidebook (for the artwork, easier reading and to support this amazing woman of color). A small guidebook comes with the deck so you do not have to buy the Full-Size copy.
