Looking Back to see the Road Ahead Dear Friend, I pray this month's newsletter finds you being extra kind to yourself and finding grace in what is beautiful and good in the world. There is no way to stop the winds and seas from moving things around. As the years have shown, there are many adventures ahead and times of stillness, too. The days can whip around quickly or feel like Groundhog Day, repeating similar patterns over and over. Yet, suddenly there can be a new path or surprise offer that tempts the fates, and we must say yes to directions unknown or less traveled. This feels like me right now! A bit of nostalgia is tugging on my heartstrings today as I navigate change. The 26 years I've been running certification courses have been so good to me. I have a million awesome memories. I'm in a season where just teaching fitness classes feels good for my life. To have a set schedule feels grounding and relieving. I have decided to include some old photos in this newsletter to you that show different places in my life where an unexpected glitch turned into a blessing. Last-minute cancellations, wandering without direction, emergency text messages, and spur-of-the-moment decisions led to some of the most intimate, sweet, and memorable times. It takes a certain trust to live this life like something greater has your back. I hope you are finding a force inside yourself so wise it steers you to creative solutions, exciting places, and a deep reservoir of inner strength and resolve. Inner Mystic Hot Springs Retreat This will be the only retreat offered for 2026-27, as far as I can see, and it's coming up next month. This is your chance to enjoy some Rocky Mountain air and the crisp fall vibes. Listen to the river while you soak, nourish, oracle, nature bathe, and move well with me for 5 days, 4 nights, October 5-9, in Pagosa Springs, CO. Check it out! I fell in love... With Pilates Reformer! On August 11, I completed my Reformer & Mat Pilates Certification! It took months of study, big energy output, and dedication to gain all the required competencies. This has been such a wonderful and enlightening journey. I'm so excited to offer 8 Reformer classes per week, plus 1:1 Pilates training at Kauai Therapy & Wellness in Lihue, HI. Join me for a weekly class or two to help you feel your best! Take my Online MOON MAGIC Course in September Syzygy is Cloud Nine Yoga's sister school for studying all things astrology and the esoteric arts. We will be back together on Thursdays via Zoom to learn about the phases of Luna, look at our own moon sign symbols in our birth chart, and reveal what it all means. Fun for both novices and those who have been digging the sky stuff for a while. We are quite the quirky and loving community. All are welcome. JOIN US! Thank you for being a good human. It has been a hard week of news and losses. In the illumination of the full moon, let us see further and understand more. We are so blessed. May we all cherish this life and the people we love! I am certainly grateful for you. Sending you aloha always. With the Wind on my Back, Erika Faith Calig, E-RYT 500 Cloud Nine Yoga & Syzygy Spiritual School | | | | | Inner Mystic Hot Springs Retreat
