How is your week going?

We had some blessed rain, especially for all the light green leafs. Can't wait to see the city covered with beautiful greens.

Do you have any plan for Mother's day? Planning a brunch or dinner with your mom, family, siblings, friends or loved ones? I love events gathering family in North America. I grew up in a family with relatives living far away. I see them only once a year, mostly for New Year's celebration. Now I live in Montreal, far far away from my family.

I was thinking how I could share gratitude, respect and love to all women working so hard to live in this stressful society, raising kids, taking care of family, including children etc. I haven't experienced motherhood yet, but I've seen my friends working so hard through all those new experiences, from pregnancy, giving birth and raising kids.

I've been studying therapeutic yoga since September 2012. My case study theme is balancing women's hormone cycle, especially those suffering from PMS and irregular menstrual cycles. Every time I study anatomy and understand more, I get more respect for our awesome mind and body, especially women's. Did you know our mind and body are controlled by hormones a lot?

This year, I teamed up with one of my yoga therapist friends, Jen Wende, to organize a workshop for balancing hormone and self-care rejuvenation on Mother's day. We will practice to support the nervous system, which relates to hormones and restorative yoga. We will then cap off our practice with medicinal mushroom tea or herbal tea, as well as one of nature's gifts to us...''raw chocolate''!
